Jayhawker Prospects In Annual Dual Meet At Kansas City Poor
NUMBER 106.
Time on the Various Events in Try-out Friday Was Show
Turned Up a Dark Horse
Ralph Rodkey and Lobaugh Make Best Time—New Men Out
The time made by the University of Kansas track team continues to be slow and the prospects for a victory over Missouri in the annual Missouri-Kansas meet apparently are somewhat slim. In the tryouts Friday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium only the quarter mile was run in anything like the usual standard for this time of year. Cliff and Ralph Rodkey made the best time in this event in little more than five minutes while Lochhead was almost a second slower, Russell and Shreve made the distance in the same time Lobaugh did. Davidson was not in good shape and ran the quarter in 61 seconds.
Probably the next best race of the try-outs was made by Hunt in a mile which he ran for time. He was the only real contestant in the race because Dewall was not out for the try-outs Friday afternoon. More en are needed in this event, according to the present outlook.
In the '2-mile run, Oglewie, new man,
surprised Buffington and beat him
out for second place. Hanna placed
first in the slow time of 11 minutes,
but he had a big lead of more
than a lap on the other two runners
in the event.
The relay, usually the deciding event in the Missouri-Kansas meet in Kansas City, is an uncertain event thus far. No team has been selected and no practice in running the relay has been had since the Kansas-Aggie meet. Lack of practice in touching off had much to do with the loss of one deciding relay in this meet so that it is certain that several practices will be held the latter part of this week in this necessary part of any relay.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 11, 1918.
The final try-outs will be held Tuesday afternoon in the gymnasium and Coach W. O. Hamilton has issued a call for every track man to report for selective events. More men have been doing track work for the team in the last four days than at any other time this season. A large number of entries in the try-outs Tuesday will mean more competition for the regulars and mean better time in the events.

Kansas Breaks Even In Debates,Winning Contest at Norman
The Kansas negative team lost to the affirmative team of Colorado here Friday by, a unanimous decision of three judges. The Colorado team was successful largely because the batters for the Kansas negative team were: Robert Albach, Miss Marjorie Bean and Edward Mason.
For the first time in the history of debating at the University of Kansas, the Jayhawker team defeated the Oklahoma team on the Oklahoma platform Friday night, when Kansas upheld a proposed plan to forbid Federal courts declaring unconstitutional any act of Congress. Only two judges presided at the debate, the third having missed his train. The second judge had disagreed between the two judges resulted in a decision for Kansas. Those on the Kansas team were Herman Hangen, E. G. Smith and William Wilson.
The result of the Oklahoma-Colorado debate is not yet known here.
Supply of Engineers Will Not Meet Demand
"The Westinghouse shops are badly in need of electrical engineers," said a representative of the company who spent last week here. Not a single man in the School of Engineering was signed by the representative of the Westinghouse works.
Practically every man who is a senior in the School of Engineering is enlisted in some branch of army service. Dean G. C. Shaad says that the supply of engineers will not any where near meet the demand.
Plain Tales From The Hill
The terrific wind that raged over Mount Oread Saturday shoed most persons off the hill, but attracted Chancellor Frank强 up it. He moved on to moon to see what the flapping and slamming on top of Fraser Hall meant.
Sending Frank, Jr., home so that he would not get blower away, Doctor Strong approached Fraser and stood looking up at the bending tin that had been laid loose from the roof. A gust caught him and laid him flat on the ground.
It happened to one of the faculty members of the department of English, and she tells it herself. She was in a party of three that was traveling with her husband and sentimental and the other one was not. All admired Wordsworth.
They came to a romantic-looking old house, which, from their wide reading, they knew to be Wordsworth's. They rested on the steps of the house: two of them sentimentalized; one just sat. New significance and feeling were given Wordsworth's poems as they read them in the atmosphere of the famous author's home.
Anon there drifted along a grocery's boy, modern and unromantic, with a box on his shoulder. He asked the whereofe of the reading circle. And then the literature students learned from the grocery's boy, who couldn't have discriminated. Wordsworth from an imperson J. Dafti that they were in deep pain, pew, the house they wanted was three doors down the street.
Economics Prof.: On the whole, do you think the gold standard is a satisfactory one, Miss Rice?

There are bets and bets, but the newest bet out is the one staged by William D. Clark, m'21, and Maximillian 9A. Miller, c'20. Both are in the draft. Clark has already left for the ground training school at Berkeley, Cal., and Miller is awaiting his call. The bet was made just before Clark's departure. The agreement is that the one who gets killed first wins five dollars from the other one. Clark was heard to have said that, in case Miller was killed first, he would make payment with a check in the hope that it would burn up before Miller could cash it. Which goes to show that Clark is not very optimistic about Miller's future.
"Oh, I'm in such a pickle," said W. A. Dill of the department of journalism this morning. "My boy has just made paper wads out of my roll book and thrown them away."

NO EXTRAS TO BE PRINTED
NO EXTRAS TO BE PRINTED
Students who do not order copies of the "Jayhawker" this week will be unable to obtain an annual, according to an announcement made this morning by Don Davis, business manager of the book. "Unusual conditions prevailing in the paper and leather market, wartime prices, and all other uncertainties make it absolutely impossible for us to take any risks by printing more copies of the "Jayhawker" than have actually been ordered," said Davis. "Consequently there will be no extra copies of the book for sale when it appears May 1. "Persons who want 'Jayhawkers' must order them this week. When the 'Our Kansas Girls' Contest closes Saturday night, the sales campaign will be over—and the last chance to order a "Jayhawker" will be gone. We absolutely refuse to take any chances by printing a lot of extra copies in the hope of selling them when the book appears."
BOOTHS MAY BE OPENED
The selling campaign will continue with great intensity this week, according to Davis. It is possible that booths will be placed in every building during the last three days of the "Our Kansas Girls" contest, and that every student will thus be brought face to face with the opportunity to purchase.
"A dollar payment is all that is required on an order," explained Davis. "The remaining three dollars can be paid on receipt of the book."
