Final Baseball Drive Starts This Afternoon For Games With Ames
Coach Jay Bond Will Choose Players for Team Sometime This Week
Ames Plays Here April 22
Freshman Nine and Varsity Probably Will Clash This Week in Practice Games
Coach Jay Bond will begin driving his Varsity baseball candidates hard this afternoon in preparation for the opening of the Missouri Valley season with Ames April 22, 23 and 24 at Lawrence. In addition to the twelve Valley games which will be played, a game has been scheduled with Coach Bill Hargias' Emporia Normals and other games probably will be played with other State Conference teams. Although the State Conference officials recently decided to abolish baseball for the period of the war, it is certain that Emporia and St. Mary's will be represented on the diamond and the Jayhawkers will probably play games with both teams.
Neither Coach Bond nor roach Duther Weddell of the freshmen has picked his squad yet, but this will probably be done with the beginning of the Varsity-freshman practice games this week. The Varsity candidates had two practice contests last week and these games gave Coach Bond an excellent chance to line up his material. The freshmen also have been playing short practice games among themselves and Coach Weddell has a few minns to battle the Varsity any time Coach Bond calls for it. The freshmen have several good pitching prospects who are expected to give the Varsity hitters some real batting practice before the opening game.
TWENTY-FIVE MEN REPORTING
Early season prospects for a good Varsity team this year are favorable. While the list of candidates turning out the every afternoon on McCook field is smaller than in former years, most of the men have had experience either on a Varsity or a freshman team in former years and are fielding in good style and hitting the ball hard. About eighty men in the team were playing daily for practice and of this number, four have had Varsity experience, including Weltmer and Schoenfeld, letter men, and fourteen have played freshman baseball.
Bunn, basketball and football star, apparently has the edge on the regular catching job, although Cooper, Kitchen and Woody have been playing good ball and may win the place. With any of these men doing the receiving, the catching staff should be as strong as that of last year. It is in pitching that the team will be weakened. Captain Smmce, Red Craig and Connie Poirier, all letter men and veterans, graduated last June and there is not a pitcher with Varsity experience in school. However, Schoppel, Caler and Slawson, graduates of last year's freshman nine, are working out every afternoon and Goodwin, a new man, has been showing up well.
MANY CANDIDATES FOR INFIELD
There is a wealth of material for the infield, and there is no reason to believe that the inner defense should not be fully as strong as that of last year. Machamer and Willems are the candidates for first; Schoenfelt will probably play his old position at second; Cherry has been putting up an excellent game at short in the practice contests and Stem Foster, who played against Missouri in the last two contests last year, also will be out for an infeld position. For third, there is Dutch Uhrlaub, who played freshman ball three years ago, DutchLenberg, Keeler and possibly Bob Isenberger, although Isenberger also can handle second or short.
Weltmier will probably play left field and Smith, Oyster, Tarrant, Wilhelmy and a few others will fight it out for the remaining two positions.

SPORT BEAMS
Tom Thorpe, who has been an official in many of the large eastern college basketball games this year advocates a few minor changes in the sport which has become popular with the schools and army camps this year. Thorpe suggests that each man throw his own free throw so that one clever free throw may not win a game over a better team.
E. K. Hall, of Dartmouth, chairman of the football rules committee, Walter Camp, of Yale, secretary, Dr. Harry L. Williams, another member of the committee, have advised that a meeting of the rules committee should not be held this year because of the expense of getting together and lack of interest in football last fall. If changes are made in the rules they will be made through correspondence.
Many track men are complaining of sore and stiff legs since they started outdoor work. The soft condition of the cinder track is a great change from the short indoor track.
Spring baseball practice is in full swing at Ohio State and the Varsity squad has been playing practice games for several days. Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and practically every one of the school in the Big Ten will play baseball this year.
Twenty-five football candidates are reporting daily for spring football practice at the University of Iowa. Six letter men are included in this squad.

The Kansas Aggie freshman basketball team made a clean sweep in the recent series with the Nebraska frosh. The score of the last game, at Manhattan Wednesday night, was 15-10 for the Aggies. Youngmester, former player on the high school star, played good basketball for the Aggie team.
The University of Texas baseball team won its first intercollegiate baseball game Friday from Howard Payne college by a 12-1 score.
Knew His Place
Sister Smith was called upon for testimony in a revival meeting. She helped the congregation.
"I have been a transgressor and a black sheep for a good many years and have only recently seen the light. I am in a dark corner behind the door."
Brother Jones was next called upon. Following Sister Smith's meek example, he said:
"I, too, have been a sinner for more than forty years, and I do not think I ought to stand before you as a model. I think my place is behind the door, in a dark corner, with Sister Smith." —Ladies' Home Journal.
