Metz of Purple and White Team Highest Point-getter With 12 Scores
Brightens Valley Outlook
Coach Hamilton's Team Took Practically Everything But Distance Events
The Kansas team was made up of new men with the exception of Rice and Murphy and made a good showing in its initial meet. The Kansas sas relay team won the mile race with the veteran Murphy, Davison, Russell, and Shreve. K. U. prospects were not very bright before the meet and the Kansans are now looking forward to a successful track season as far as standing in the valley conference is concerned.
The University of Kansas track team won the first meet of the Missouri Valley conference season last night when they defeated the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan by the score of 56 to 29. The K. U. athletes ran away with practically everything but the distance events. Metz of the Aggies was high point man with firsts in the thirty yard high and low hurdles and second in the shot put making a total of 12 points.
Howard a new man on the team tied for the pole vault at 10 feet 9 inches and with a little more practice should make one of the best vaulters in the valley. Rice did not have to exert himself in the high jump, K. U. getting both places at 5 feet 6 inches.

Women Play Last Game Of Interclass Series
Seniors and Sophomores Will Not Meet Thursday Night to Decide Championship
The championship game of the third Annual Women's Basketball Tournament will be played Thursday night, February 21 at 7:15 in Robinson Gymnasium. The question of first place will be decided between the seniors and the sophomores. The game promises to be especially interesting because the sophomores are still undefeated. All other teams have not yet been beaten in the contest. Coach Pratt expects to have an out-of-town referee for the game.
The various class representatives are arranging some diversions between halves but their plans are to be a secret until the proper time. The loving cup which is to be given to the champion team has been ordered and it will be presented later in the spring when the letters and other prizes are given away.

Ottawa University continued her march to the state championship last week and now she has a record of nine consecutive victories. Kansas Wesleyan had a clean record until a defeat at the hands of the Hays Normals put her out of the running. The Bethany Swedes are also contenders for the state title, with only one defeat against them.

Basketball Men Leave Tonight For Series With Missouri Foes
Tigers and Pikers Will Play Kansans Two Games
Each
Coach Hamilton will take his basketball team to Missouri tonight to tussle in a pair of games tomorrow and Thursday with Coach Meanwell's Tigers. The Jayhawkers are occupying third place in the Valley race now while the Tigers are firmly entrenched in the first position, with ten victories to their credit and not a defaut registered against them. Although the doe is pointing to Minnesotaani Kavanaugh, the Kansas fan fight hard and with any kind of luck, should make the Tigers fight for the championship.
After the Missouri battles, the Crimson and Blue five will move on to St. Louis, where a couple of return games will be played with the Washington University Pikers. These contests will undoubtedly be much harder fought than the Wash.-Oregon game, but the summ last week, and Kansas will have to extend herself to the limit to get the decision in both battles.
The Jayhawkers went through a stiff signal drill last night, and practiced goal shooting in anticipation of the coming games. The usual scrimmage with the freshmen was done away with, however. A new lineup was used in the signal workout, with Bunn and Fearing at the forward positions, Captain Uhrlaub at center and Laslett and Knoles playing guards. Miller and Matthews were on the floor but were not in uniform.

Songs Needed To Add Enthusiasm To Drill
Oregon University students have adopted "rough neck" songs to lighten their drill work. Colonel Leader, commandant of the battalion believes that a knowledge of these songs is necessary to the success of drill work.
When asked what he thought about adopting the plan for drill at Kansas University, J. C. McCanles, band director, said he thought the use of such songs as the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" or "Marching Through Georgia" would be a help. "I do not believe "rough neck" is the term to
apply to such songs," he added. "In fact I would not be in favor of "rough neck" songs, if by that term, rag-time is meant. It is well known that Americans are great on rag time. But as soon as our soldiers get to France, they drop that sort of music and use the French songs in which there is real inspiration. I am heartily in favor of using good, inspiring music at drill. We need something to stir things up here."
