Tryouts Start Friday For Runners Entering Missouri-Kansas Meet
Events Not Decided Then Will Be Run Off Tuesday Afternoon
R. Rodkey Makes Fast Time
Mile is Weakest Point—Dashes Appear to be Stronger Than Usual
Try-outs for the Missouri-Kansas meet in Kansas City, March 15, will be held in Robinson Gymnasmium Friday and Tuesday afternoons. If the longer distance men are fit Friday the half-mile, and two-mile races are scheduled, which are not run off Friday will be decided Tuesday.
Ralph Rodkey made unusually fast time in a three lap dash last night. The mile was slow and the quarter-cicle was not fast compared with that of last year. Murphy, Ralph Rodkey, Russell, Davidson, Lobaugh, and Shreve are the best men thus far in the 440-yard dash. Murphy is probably the fastest man and Rodkey seems to be a comer in the event, although an injury has kept him from practicing for several weeks.
LOBAUGH SHIFTED TO DASHES
Lobauch has been shifted to the dashes so as to strengthen the quarter mile. Coach Hamilton considers the relay team weak but indications are that the Missourians have not a much better team.
Murphy and Coffey have been doing the strongest work in the half mile. The best time Murphy has made this season is 2:05. This is as good time as was made by Fred Rodkey in the K. C. A. C. meet.
WEAK IN MILE
The mile is probably the weakest event. Dewall, Buffington, and Brown are possibilities. These last three runners are better athletes in the two-mile. All of the distance runners are distance men except Murphy.
The dashes are stronger this year than they have been at K. U. for several seasons and the Jayhawkers may give Missouri a close race in these events in spite of the fact that Scholtz the crack dash man of last season, is running in great form.
Lobaugh and Haddock, new men this season, are evenly matched and have done excellent work.
PROMISING MEN FOR HURDLES
PROMISING MEN FOR HURDLES
Welty, Hobart, and Simonds are the most promising candidates for the hurdles. It is a toss-up as to which is the best man, first one winning and then the other. The shot-put, supposedly a strong point this year, has turned out to be feeble. Haddock did the best work in the Kansas Aggie meet with a hurl of 35 feet 10 inches. Liggett is also out for this event.
The high jump is a strong point for Kansas this year as it has been for the last three seasons. Rice, who is able to do six feet, is the strong athlete in this event, although Howell is second in Howard and Welty are . vaulting. Howard vaulted eleven feet in the K. C. A. C. meet.
Uhrlaub Made Captain
Of Valley Second Team
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, of Warrenburg Normal, who has officiated in many of the Missouri Valley basketball game this season, has chosen what he considers first and second selections of All-Missouri Valley teams. The University of Kansas, although it finished third in the Missouri Valley conference race, does not have a man on the first team and gets only one player on the second team.
Selection Made by "Phog" Allen Who Based Choice on Games He Officiated
Captain Uhlaub, who played both forward and guard on the K. u. Five this season, was selected for the position of forward on the second team. He was also made captain of this team. He probably scored more than any other player in the Missouri Vikings and Laslett out of the running because he played his man too closely. He said he based his selections on what he had seen of the playing of the teams in games in which he officiated.
The teams selected are:
SHOE REPAIRING Best materials used. Work guaranteed I make a speciality of Neolin soles because Neolin is better than leather.

Dutch Wedell Assists Coach in Working Out Candidates for Battery
Spring Football Practice Continues Until Time for Outdoor Baseball
Varsity and freshmen battery candidates are working out every day now in the gymnasium in an attempt to eliminate all sore arms by the time outdoor practice is started. Dutch Wedell has charge of the pitchers and catchers, while Coach Bond is putting the men enrolled in spring football through their workouts on McCook field. All infielders and outfielders, Varsity and freshmen have checked out football suits and will chase the piksman until time for outdoor baseball practice.
The squad of battery men throwing in the gymnasium has been greatly increased this week and now there are about fifteen men working daily. Schopeped, Caler and Slawson, pitchers from last year's freshman team, have been reporting regularly for practice, and Shores is another man out for the Varsity. Hershey and Kitchen are trying out for the catching job on the Varsity, and Johnny Bunn, regular fresh backstop in 1917, will be out as soon as the spring football season is over.
