Dinner Will Replace Medals This Year as Prizes at Track Meet
Sharpest of Contest Expected To Be Between Sophomores and Juniors
Instead of the usual medals for the winners of the first four places in the annual spring Interclass Track Meet, which is being held this afternoon on McCook Field, a big dinner will probably be given the winners. Whether invitation to this dinner shall be given only to the first and second place men, or shall be extended to third place men or four place men will be decided by the trackmen themselves before the meet starts.
It is probable that only the first three place men will get their invitation to the dinner, which probably will be held Monday night. Coach Hamilton is carrying out the request of the Missouri Valley Conference officials in not awarding tickets to anyone in Kansas City last December it was voted not to give medals in any athletic contests in the Missouri Valley Conference this year.
Both the freshmen and seniors are going into the meet this afternoon depending on one of two men to bring them enough points to win. The two Bradley brothers are the ones counted on by the fresh track man and Rice and Hunt are the big men of the senior aggregation.
But track fans really look to the juniors and sophomores to fight it out for first place. Both teams have men of ability entered in every event, although the second year men probably have the largest number of actual Varsity athletes in the meet. They will have more men entered in each event than the juniors from the present outlook.

Spider Webs Stop Recording of Quakes
The inofficative, peaceful spider has had a weighty influence in the history of human events. It was a spider that saved Scotland in causing the re inspired Robert Bruce to return again to the battlefield. And it was another spider that deprived Little Miss Muffet of a savory meal of curds and whey. Between these two boundaries of history, the significant and the insignificant, he has played a part far beyond his frail strength.
It remained for a K. U. Cephalothorax (that's his family name) to contribute a new episode to the annals of spiderdom by interfering with the study of earthquakes by a group of scientists. This particular member of the eight-legged trie selected Blake Hall as his home. Blake Hall is also the home of the seismograph, the highly complicated piece of mechanism which informs these scientists about the earthquake that Press can bring the news. Mr. Spider cast a critical eye into the interior of the machine, judged it to be an ideal home, and spun his web in the dark, quiet chamber which he found there.
This year only three earthquake have been recorded by the instrument. One of the observant professors began to investigate, and discovered the coxy home of Mr. Cephalothorax. An astonishing discovery took place, and the machine now records even the slightest quiver of the earth's surface.

Earth's Trembling Recorded
Earth's Trembling Recorded
A minor but well defined disturbance in the southwest portion of this country was recorded Tuesday night by the seismograph. It has been estimated that the probable source was in the neighborhood of Cuba or Haiti. The primary wave began at 8:15:43 p.m.; the main wave was recorded at 8:25:13; and the noticeable disturbance came at 8:45. The distance is estimated at between 1900 to 1950 miles; direction approximately southeast and northwest.

Frosh Blank Varsity In Slowest Game Yet On Poor Playing Field
First String Men Out of Contest to Prepare for Emporia Clash
Coach Dutch Wedell's freshman nine defeated the Varsity for the first time this season Thursday afternoon on Hamilton field diamond. The score at the end of the three innings contest was 5-0. Most of the Varsity regulars were out of the game and only the outfield was composed of the first string men. The game was not as fast as some of those which have been played this year, owing largely to the rough playing field.
Because of a chance for a game with Coach Bill Hargiss' Emporia Normals on the Emporia field today, Coach Bond sent most of his first string men to the showers immediately after practicing on the field. The game may have been called off and may be played later in the year.
The Varsity lineup against the frush was as follows: Kitchen, catcher; Goodwin, pitcher; Willems, first base; Uhrlaub, second base; Isenberger, short stop; Keeler, third base; Weltmer, left field; Smith, center
