K. C. A. C. Competition Too Much for Kansas; Few Men Win in Meet
Carl Rice Tied for First Place in High Jump at Urbana
The long list of Jayhawker entries in the K. C. A. C. meet Saturday night in Convention Hall, Kansas City failed to bring home as many honors as Crimson and Blue athletes have won in the past and the best the K. U. representatives could do was to tie for first in the high jump, take second place in the 12-pound handicap shot put, tie for third in the pole vault and take second in the women's relay team to Nebraska in the first defeat for a Jayhawker relay team in the history of the K. C. A. C. meet.
Everett Bradley, c21, was the big winner for Kansas. Bradley tied for first place in the high jump with Pittam and Osborne of Missouri. The height was 5 feet, 11-1.2 inches. In the tots for the medals, Bradley lost to both his opponents. With a handicap of seven feet in the 12-pound range, he took home with a put of 55 feet, 3 inches. Running against a field of the best sprinters in the Middle West, he finished fourth in the 50-ward dash.
Roscoe Howard vaulted eleven feet and tied for third place with five other men. Howard has been impu-
sioned in a team coming out of the team this year,
K. U. lost the relay in the race with the Cornhusher quarter milers. Davidson, the first runner for Kansas, with the disadvantage of having the outside track, kept right on the heels of his Husker opponent and the Shreve, the second Kansas runner, held almost the same position. Russell weakened in the last 200 yards of the third quarter and turned the race to Murphy, the Jayhawyer anchor man, with Nebraska leading fully fifteen years. Murphy ran a beautiful race but the cap was too wide to be closed.
Lcobham, placed third in one of the trial heats in the 50-yard dash but only the winners of the first and second places were allowed to run in the finals. Weilty was another Jayhawker to take third place in a trial event, winning that place in the 50-yard low hurdles.
Fred Rodkey, a former Kansas track captain, easily won the 880-yard run against a field of ten, in 2 minutes and 5 3-5 seconds. Rodkey took the lead at the beginning of the race and had things his own way throughout. He ran as a representative of the K. C. A. C.
While the majority of the Kansas athletes were performing in Convention Hall, Carl Rice was winning a tie for first place in the high jump against Big Ten jumpers in the Illinois Relay Carnival at Urbana. Ill Rice tied with Haigh and Johnson of Michigan at 5 feet 10 1-2 inches, which is almost two inches lower than the Kansas jumper's record. Marshall Haddock, freshman spinner last year, who was sent to the meet with Rice, failed to place in the finals in the 75-yard dash.

ntramural Basketball
Schedule Announced
Practice for the intramural basketball championship began today. The managers of the different teams signed up with the names of their players. The gymnasium floor upstairs will be free from 5 o'clock on, and the downstairs floor from 5 o'clock.
The drawing schedule of the games is as follows: Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Delta Pi against Kappa Alpha Theta; Alpha Xi Delta against Alpha Chi Omega; Faculty team against Alemannia; Kappa Kappa Gamma; Kappa Kappa Kaline; Pi against Brush League; Sigma Kappa against Pi Beta; W. A. A. Board against Twelfth District and the Patterson Club.
SPORT BEAMS
Twenty-six basketball teams are playing intra-mural basketball at the University of Texas. There are three leagues the inter-fraternity, inter-class and inter-hall.
The Ohio State quintet sprung one of the biggest surprises of the Big Ten season Saturday when it knocked the Northwestern University team from the lead in the Western Conference race by winning, 30-24. Wisconsin and Minnesota are now tied for the lead, each team having won five games and lost two. Michigan has cinched last place with eight successive defeats.
Pennsylvania University has practically cinched the championship in the eastern intercollegiate basketball race. Princeton stands second and Cornell, Yale, Columbia and Dartmouth follow in the order named.
One point which looks good for the Kansas relay team is the fact that Camp Funston, in defeating Missouri, hung up a record of three minutes, 42 4-5 seconds for the four quarters, while Nebraska, in beating Kansas, stepped the mile in 3 minutes, 41 2-5 seconds. This would indicate that the Jayhawker relay team is just about as fast as the Tigers.
Training Begins Early to be Out Of Way for Baseball Contests
Coach Bond Calls Men For Spring Football Practice at 4 o'Clock
Spring football practice will start at the University this afternoon. Coach Jay Bond has issued a call for all football men in the University to report at McCook Field at 4 o'clock today. Especially are the old men urged to come to these spring football practices. Suits will be checked out from McCook Field sheds. Football practice will last for four weeks and will then make way for baseball. Many of the best football men are it appears to have thought best to have football practice early, so as not to interfere
Most of the players of last season are still in school, but many will be unable to return next year on account of military service. Already Jack Frost and Harry Nielsen, last season's captain, have left for active service and Frank Mandeleva is awaiting his call. Ruble, the great halfback, is now in the School of Medicine at Rosedale. Nettles will be back at tackle but the other tackler will have to come from the freshman eleven or from the old second string man. Lonberg and Scott, present captain, will hold delimited end roles, while Jones, and Woody are back for the guard positions. Fat Dennis is now in Washington University at St. Louis. Liggett and Stephens, both of last season's Varsity squad, are also possibilities.

Hull is still in school to hold down the center of the line. In the backfield, there is Foster at quarter, Pringle, at left half, and Mandeville at the opposite half, from the regular team of 1917. Bunn, another good man, is back for a backfield position,
however, he may have to take the place of Foster if the great Kansas quarter is unable to return to school next fall.
Of the old Varsity eleven, there is still Webb, Knoles, Harms, and Humpty Wilson left to pick from. Besides these there are many excellent freshman football players who are expected to increase the strength of the team.
Pierce Pleases K. U. Dancers.
The group of music makers at K. U. has been enriched by the addition of a new drummer, Willard Pierce, e'21, of Kansas City. Pierce played his initial engagement with "Chuck Shofstall" at the piano, Friday night at the Bill-Board Ball at F. A. U. Hall. He has had considerable experience in orchestral playing having played with several Kansas City orchestras, one of which is Haley's, perhaps the most popular pianist engaged for K. U. parties. His playing is vigorous and characterized by a snappy jazz-time which brought expressions of the approval from Friday night's dancers. The most frequent heard expression was "isn't he a marvel?"
The first annual concert by the University orchestra, Frank E. Kendrie, conductor, will be in Fraser Hall next Friday night.
Mrs. Evelyn Olcett, mezzo-soprano; Prof. W. B. Dalton 'cellist, and Ednah Hopkins, violinist, are the soloists.

The K. U. FOLLIES OF 1918
The Follies Will Give You the Cheero Spirit. Now more than ever there is need for a stiff upper lint, for hiding a long face, and for a great good humour.
The Follies of 1918 will be a regular gloom chaser—will give you in eight snappy numbers the latest bizarreries of light fantastic toe; mysterious, magical tricks to provoke delighted laughter; chorus girls with frocks to distract St. Anthony, singing songs to charm even the churlish cynic; comedy sketches to cheer like an ice-cream soda descending from the skies on a drouthy camel in the midst of the Sahara; a patriotic number to electrocute the very marrow in the Kaiser's wish-bone.
COME!
You, of the Loyal K. U. Spirit! Consider the excellence of a show featuring fifty stars each one of whom is talented equally as much as the ten whose names follow. Such talent is making the 1918 Follies the quintessence of entertainments.
