Final Track Try-Outs For Jayhawker Runners Will Be Held Today
Men Working Out for Field Events Showed Well in Practice Yesterday
None of the Jayhawker distance runners did any hard work yesterday afternoon, because they were resting for the try-outs this afternoon. The sprinters took only light work-outs also.
Howard, who has been working with Rice in the high jump, jumped 5 feet 7 inches. This is probably the best jumping he has done this season. Rice jumped two or three inches better and did not attempt to go any higher. Howard also did some excellent pole vaulting, making 10 feet tall. He should do such good work but should make the Missouri volunteer, Sylvester, work hard to get second place in the annual Missouri-Kansas meet.
Smith, an old Baker high jumper and hurdler, looks like one of the best in the hurdles. His work has been constantly improving the last few weeks but he will be the athlete upon Kansas will depend to beat out the Tiger hurders.
Haddock put the shot 39 feet. Liggett, the second best man in this event so far this season, was far behind.
Laslett and Matthews Most Fav ored Candidates—May Award Eight K's
Varsity Five to Elect 1918 Captain Wednesday
The annual Jayhawker basketball banquet and election of the captain for next season's team will be Wednesday night at Brick's. The K's probably will be awarded, providing the athletic board of the University decides to award them by that time. There will be seven or eight letters given according to present indications.
Two men are in line for the captaincy of the basketball team for the 1918 season. Matthews, center of the team and new man on the five this season, and Laslett, guard this season and last and mentioned as guard on one of the All-Valley teams, are the two juniors most likely to be elected.
SPORT BEAMS
The largest high school basketball tournament in the history of the University of Nebraska has just been completed at Lincoln, where more than 100 teams were entered and more than 1,000 high school athletes were the guests of the university.
Mike Slatterty, baseball coach last year at Tufts college, is to coach the pitchers and catchers for the Boston Braves this year.
The University of Colorado quintet easily defeated the Colorado School of Mines Saturday for the Rocky Mountain basketball championship.
Captain Jack Cannon, former Missouri and Kansas City tennis star, has asked the Kansas City tennis clubs for aid in making it possible for a number of good courts to be made at Camp Funston for the benefit of the soldiers.
Dr. Joseph A. Reilley, athletic director at the K. C. A. C., will have charge of the Missouri-Kansas dual meet this year, in the absence of George Forster, who usually has charge of the arrangements for the big meet. Forster is now an officer serving in France.
The baseball season at Camp Devens, Ayer, Massachusetts will probably begin April 1, and inter-regimental games will begin about April 15th.
The 342nd regiment at Camp Funston has arranged a plan whereby they are going to secure a monopoly on the athletes over the country who are enlisting in the service. Their regimental athletic officer is going to correspond with athletes who are thinking of enlisting and offer them positions at Manhattan until they enlist or are drafted, and of course they will then be assigned to the 342nd Field Artillery.
Thirty men were out in football suits last night. Coach Jay Bond with the assistance of Laslett, Foster and Mandeville worked out several new plays.
Applied Christianity Essays to Be Limited In Subjects This Year
Hattie Elizabeth Lewis Prizes Will Be Awarded at Commen
mencement
Limitation in the subjects that may be written under this year for the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis prizes has just been announced by the committee in charge of this contest. This year these essays on Applied Christianity must deal with some phase of the application of the teachings of Jesus to interbational relations, and suggested subjects are, "The Terns of a Christian Peace," "The Christian a Soldier," and similar titles.
The essays are to be completed and in the hands of the committee by May 4, and the winners of the contest will be announced at commencement. If the paper awarded first prize is chosen, it will be published by the University.
The committee members call attention to the terms of the context, and emphasize the one condition that the essay must apply the teachings of Christ to present day problems. In formal statement, the committee says:
"The committee has read many an essay containing admirable proposals, without the slightest logical proof that these proposals had their origin in specifically Christian ethics.

Sometimes a careful attempt to define Christ's teachings has been followed by such a humanitarian discussion, without real linking of the two. A paper of this sort fails to attack the real problems."
The Hattie Elizabeth Lewis memorial was founded in 1911 by Prof. George Patrick, a memorial to his wife, Hattie Elizabeth Lewis, a former student at the University. The memorial takes the form of an annual essay competition and is open to students of the University.
The theme of these essays, Applied Christianity, was determined by Professor Patrick. Professor Patrick was from 1875 to 1883 assistant professor of natural science in charge of chemistry and physics at the University of Kansas. He died in the spring of 1916.
