Interclass Track Meet To Be Held April 12; Men Prepare for Drake
May Choose Captain This After noon—Captain-Elect O'Leary In the Service
The spring interclass meet at the University of Kansas will be held on McCook Field, April 12, Coach W. O. Hamilton announced today. This gives the track man a week to get ready for the Drake relay games at Des Moines, Ia., which are held the next Friday, April 19. The track athletes have been working for more than two weeks getting into trim for the outdoor track season and this will be the first change K. U. track fans will have to see the outdoor team in action.
Varsity track men may compete in this meet and any other student in the University is eligible to take part in the meet. Medals are given for the first four places. The freshmen sophomores best spirits, the sophomores especially having a large number of Varsity men on their team.
The track captain of this season's team probably will be elected this afternoon. Men who competed in the Missouri and Kansas Aggies meets will be eligible to vote for captain. Captain-elect Dorman O'Leary has been in the service since last summer and is now in aviation work.
Two relay teams probably will be sent to the Drake relay games, on April 19. Coach Hamilton expects to take men to run in the half and mile relay. The following week Rice, the veteran high jumper, and Haddock, the crack dash and weight man, will be entered in the Penn Relay games at Philadelphia on April 26. Although the date or location has not been definiable that the Missouri Valley track meet will be held at Columbia, Mo, on May 26, instead of at Ames, Ia., where it was originally scheduled. Because of the early closing of the school at Ames, a change was necessary.
The K. U. track team this season seems to have a long run of hard luck. John D. Shreve has not been out for practice this week and members of the track team believe that he has received his call for service in the navy because he had enlisted nearly three months ago. He was one of the best runners in the quarter mile and was a good man in the mile relay. Erval Coffey was canvassed by the draft staff of Douglas County last week, leaving a vacancy in the half mile to be filled. Murphy, one of the two old men back for the team this season, has been handling this event alone this week, but there are several candidates out for the other place in this event.
Twenty to thirty men are trying positions on the team, but thus far much of the material has shown up as mediocre. Hard work is the program which Coach Hamilton has mapped out for the men from now until the Interclass Track Meet and then the following week in preparation for the Drake Games. The coach has handpicked by cold weather, a heavy wind, and the loose condition of the track. Little fast time has been made partially because of the poor condition of the McCook Field track, but work which is being done daily is getting it into a little better shape.
Schoenfeldt Called To Great Lakes Station
Veteran Infielder Will Not Play With Team—Must Report At Once
At Once
The second Varsity-freshman battle the last night again resulted in a score of 2-0 for the Varsity. The game went only three innings because of a late start, but the teams lined up on the McCook diamond and both the Varsity and freshmen were fencing in much cleaner form than Tuesday night on Hamilton field. Hitting was weak, however, and two Varsity hits in the second innning were the only solid blows during the game.
Dutch Schoenfelft, veteran Varsity indefiler, who has not been out this week, appeared on the field with the news that he has received a call to report to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station at once and will not be able to play with the team. His departure prompts the Navy's later defense, as he was counted upon to take care of second base.
Both teams played airight ball in the field and there was not an error
made during the contest. Neither the Varnity nor fresh scored in the first innning, but Dutch Uhrlubn walked to start the second and Smith scored him with a three-base hit to deep left field. Lonberg then cracked a long drive to left center for three sacks that scored the victory in the scoring for the evening was over.
Weltmer and Dunn were not in uniform, and Kitchen did the receiving for the Varsity. Slawson worked in the box. Coach Bond made several changes in both the infield and outfield in order to give every candidate a chance to show his ability. Willems played first base, Uhlraub, who played first Tuesday, was shifted to second and Cherry was at short. Lonborg again performed at third and handed three chances. With this he got Bill Cilor hold down the center garden and Tom Pringle was in right. Stem Foster was out in uniform and will probably be used in the infield today.
Coach Wedell used his regular freshman lineup with Brite doing the catching, Pierce and Marxen in the boxx, Harms on first, McClead playing second, Murphy on short, Lashley on third and Vermillion, Shields and Pudkins in the outfield.
SPORT BEAMS
Coach Sermon is working his big field of baseball candidates hard at Central College and has his team practically picked for the first game of the season.
Eighteen fraternity and other organization teams at Ames have organized into two leagues, the National and the American, and play has already begun in earnest. A schedule has been arranged by which the teams will play until the end of the school year.
Joie Ray, Ward, a former star University of Chicago, spinner, Joe Loomis, and Eby are star speedsters who will appear at the Annual Central A. A. U. track meet to be held in Chicago Saturday,
There are only two letter men among the eighteen candidates for positions on the nine at the Warrensburg Normal School. Dr. Phog Allen, the Normal coach, believes that he will develop a real team from his green material, however.
The annual track meet between Missouri and Ames will be staged at Columbia April 13. With Shelch, Pittam, Sylvester, and Berry back, it looks like another cleanup for the Tigers on the cinder path.
The inter-fraternity basketball season is just closing at the University of Minnesota. The Phi Kappa five defeated the Alpha Tau Omega quintet in the last game that has been played, 17-10.
Hand grenade throwing will probably be introduced into the track meets among the Big Ten schools this year, according to the decision at a meeting held in Chicago Saturday. The points will be awarded for accuracy, speed in throwing and distance.
