Hard Hitting Marks Short Practice Game Of Varsity Candidates
First Squad Players Make Clean Drives Far Past Outfielders
The hardest hitting of the year characterized the practice game play; between two squads picked from the Varsity candidates last night. The first team defeated the second aggregation by an 8-4 score. Both teams played well in the field, with the exception of two or three bobbles in the last two innings, and the manner in which the men were cracking the ball was particularly pleasing to the coach.
The lineup for the first team was Bunn, catcher; Goodwin and Slawson, pitchers; Uhrlauh, first base; Cherry, second base; Foster, short stop; Lonborg, third base; Weltmer, left field; Smith, center field; Oyster, right field. The other team lines up as foliage. The defense pitcher; Schoppel, pitcher; Machamer, first base; Willems, second base; Joslin, short stop; Keeler, third base; Tarrant, left field; Willhelmy and Johnson, center field, and Knoles, right field.
Nearly every player on the first squad got at least one hit and most of these hits were clean drives past the reach of even the outfielders. Oyster led the hitting with two solid doubles past third base in as many times at bat. Cooper, Machamer, and Foster also got doubles, and Wilhelmy, Weltm, Bunn and Cherry joined for singles. Two new faces were present in the lineup in Foster at short stop for the first aggregation and Jimmy Knoles in right field for the second team. Knoles was in uniform for the first time and may add strength to the outfield.
Coach Bond gave the a set of signals which they used in the batting practice before the four-inning game, and the hit and run was tried several times. There was also a good drill in bunting. A practice game will probably be played with the freshmen this afternoon, and from now on the practices will begin at 3:30 instead of 4 o'clock which has been the regular time.
SPORT BEAMS
The Kansas City Polytechnic Institute track team has scheduled due meets with the Haskell Indians, William Jewell College and Wentworth Military Academy and a meet will probably be scheduled with the Warrenburg Normals.
The Ames baseball team will open the season Saturday, with the Camp Dodge nine as their opponents. Clyde Williams is coaching the Ames team.
The Annual Drake Relay Carnival will be held April 20 at Des Moines. Thirty men were out for the trials at the University of Nebraska last Friday to decide who should represent the Huskers at the meet.
Three Greek letter baseball leagues have been formed at the Ohio State University and games will begin next week. The freshmen, who were not allowed to play last year, will be in the lineup this year.
Baseball and track workout have been suspended for two or three days at Colorado State College because of snow and cold weather.
The University of Oklahoma baseball team opened the season at Norman today, with the World's Champion Chicago White Sox as their opponents.
Gets Government Position
The freshmen at the University of Indiana emulated the K. U. Fresh nine last Thursday and tied the Varsity team, 6-6. The game at Indiana went ten innings.
Gets Government Position
Prof. S. J. Hunter of the department of entomology has just received word from Jess Gardner A.B. '17, that he has been appointed as entomologist by the Federal Government at Wellington, Kan. Mr. Gardner majored in the department of entomology and since his graduation has been with Thrift & Co., in Kansas City.
Harry J. Tackler of the department of entomology returned Monday from Kansas City, Kan, where he has been inspecting a shipment of trees and shrubs just sent over from Holland. These specimens are both flowering and fruit bearing and are to be distributed throughout Kansas.

Murphy Runs Half Mile In Remarkable Time
Quarter Events
Mile, and Two-Mile Were Rather Slow Yesterday
Murphy ran an unusual race last night in the half-mile the first night that any attempt has been made this season to make good time on the outdoor track. He covered the distance in 2 minutes 5-4 seconds, which is remarkable time for so early in the season with a soft track and cold weather. Murphy timed the indoor track at Convention Hall was little better than this. He ran away from the other three runners in the race.
Rice was going well in the high jump, and cleared 5 feet 10 inches. The quarter mile was won by Cleft in comparatively slow time. Ralph Rodkey hurt his hip again in this race and finished in poor shape. The mile was run in 5 minutes 6 seconds, with Hunt and Dewail leading the field of four or five runners. In the two mile Oglevie, Hanna, and Buffington came in good shape, but the time was 11 minutes, which is slow.
Hobart started work on the hurdles again this afternoon and several other men are expected out for that hopelessly weak event this year. More men are coming out this week in a last hope to get into trim for the race, and many are expected afternoon. The meet is scheduled to at 4 o'clock and will be run off according to the Missouri Valley schedule of events.
Uhls Announces Tryouts
For Tennis, Saturday
Six Players to be Selected, Only One "K" Man From Last
Kenneth Uhls, tennis captain, is anxious that there be a large number out for the tennis tryout on the University courts, Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. There is an opening for six players, who will be selected at Saturday's tryout.
Year
Uhs was in Lawrence Saturday and speaks enthusiastically for the outlook of the team. In all probability K. U. will play the Kansas Agries, Ames, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Uhs will enter in the school of Medicine at Rosedale at Saturday. The team may practice some days on the courts at Rosedale.
Ulisi is the only man of last year's team back this year. Allie Cowell, gunned down, is now in the service. Two men from the captain may be given K's this year.
And Still the Iceman
Makes His Morning Call
And yet the University tries to conserve. We eliminate, cut down, do without, economize, and in sunny ways do our bit toward "winning the war." The latest wrinkle has been to abolish bottled water in an effort to cut down expenses. The coolers in the various buildings are idle, and the students either go gristly or imbibe of the watery sediment which issues from the drinking fountains.

'Tis all very well, but—the ice man has not been notified. Around he trudges each morning filling the coolers with ice, with an air of philanthropic self-satisfaction at lessening the sufferings of a thirsting humanity.

City Water Is Now Safe;
Drinking Fountains Used
Because the city water has been pronounced safe for use as drinking water, twenty new white drinking fountains have been placed in the University buildings since April 1. Every building on the campus now has one fountain and most of the larger buildings have two or more. Use of the distilled water was discontinued April 1.
The reason given by John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, for the new arangement is that the use of the distilled water is much greater in warm months and the price on the bottled distilled water has been recently advanced. Since the service was discontinued ice cool drinking water has been dispensed with necessarily.
The cost of the white sheets of paper for individual drinking cups runs up to more than $20 a month, according to Mr. Shea, and this together with the increase in price in water and the increased consumption of ice and water caused the old system to break. The use of waxed cups such as were furnished last year would take an increase of $150 a month.
Alexander Johnston, '12, has been promoted to a major, Judge Advocate, on February 20, 1918. Major Johnston enlisted October 4, 1917, and ranked a captain. He is now on his way to France, being in the overseas service.

The eighty musicians in the Minne-
applis Symphony Orchestra, which will appear in Robinson Gymnasium,
April 22, represent nearly all the powers now at war. When hostilities first broke out in Europe, Conductor Emil Oberhoffer forbade any kind of international controversy at rehearsals, and told his men that they constituted an American orchestra.
All Warring Nations Represented in Orchestra—All Buy Liberty Bonds
The result of such a ruling has been quite harmonious, and every program given by the orchestra since February 1, 1917, when the United States broke off diplomatic relations with Germany, has been opened with "Americs" and closed with the "Star-Spangled Banner."
The Minnesota Symphony is consistently American. At one rehearsal, during the first Liberty Loan drive, the musicians subscribed $13,000.
Seats for the concert which will be given April 22, will go on sale at the Round Corner Drug Store and the Registrar's office Wednesday morning.

In spite of the fact that dates are becoming more scarce these days, one young woman kept a fellow waiting on the telephone the other day while she flipped a coin to see if she should accept a date. If it was accepted, she would not. If she did, she would not. The coin was quite slick and she could not tell which it was so she borrowed a penny and it fell head up. She went.
