Indoor Practice For Baseball Battery Men To Start Next Month
Jay Bond, Coach, Has Hopes for Good Team, Despite Loss of Letter Men
Indoor baseball practice for Varsity battery men will begin in Robinson gymnasium about the middle of February, according to Jay Bond, who will have charge of the Jayhawker baseball team this year. Coach Bond believes Kansas should put a good team on the field despite the fact that every letter man from last year's nine has either graduated or enlisted in some form of the service.
Many college baseball teams, including Texas, Indiana, Cornell and Phillips-Exeter, have already begun practice in their cages, but with both the track and basketball teams occupying the floor at Robinson Gymnasm, the baseball candidates must wait two or three weeks before the first call.
Wardie Weltmer, a "K" man two years ago, is in school and will probably take care of one of the outfield positions. Stephenson, a member of last year's Varsity squad who played in several Valley games, is also a good outfielder. Wenzel, Mandeville, Willhelmy and Oyster from the 1917 freshman squad will also be candidates for an outfield position. Stem Foster, who played in the infield against Missouri last year, will be out for a position on the team and Machamer, Lonborg, Wilson, Isenberger, and Convis were members of Potsy Clark's yearling squad who are now eligible.
Captain-elect Marion Carter is in the army and his loss leaves the team without an experienced catcher, Bunn and Davis, Clark's backstops last year, should help bolster up this department, however, and Warren Woody and Paul Jones, football men, who have had experience behind the bat, will also be candidates for places. The graduation of George Smee, Red Craig and Connie Poier makes room for an entire new pitching staff
and the four freshmen twirlers of last year, Caler, Schoepel, Beiser and Slawson, will be on hand for the first call.
The Jayhawkers have twelve conference games scheduled with Ames and Misseouri, the only Valley teams which will play baseball this year. These games will be played in four series of three games each. At least two road trips will be taken, one to Ames and the other to Columbia. The other six games are scheduled to be played on McCook Field. It is not known yet whether any other games will be scheduled.
Kansas High Schools Want Spring Tourney
Letters From Over State Indicates Strong Sentiment for Basketball Meet
Most of the high schools of the state are not in favor of abolishing the spring basketball tournament which is usually held at the University, if letters received by the department are representative of the entire state.
In about thirty of these letters all but two favored holding the tournament, although several said they expected that they could not enter a team. As a result of such sentiment among the high schools, W. C. Hamilton said this morning, the annual basketball clash will probably be held this year as usual.

Socialism And The War Discussed by Patterson
Federal Control. Necessitated by War, a Step Toward Socialistic Ideal
"Socialism and the War," was discussed at the regular meeting of the Woman's Forum held Thursday afternoon, by D. L. Patterson, professor of history. "Government control of the various industries, of railroads, of the food situation in European countries, and the recent move concerning the railroads in the United States are direct steps toward the realization of the socialistic ideal." Professor Patterson believes.
"Socialism is not merely a form of government," he said, "but is rather a whole civilization. Just as feudalism was a type of civilization during the Middle Ages, socialism will be known in the centuries of the future as a type of civilization which first became prevalent in the twentieth century."
The intelligence committee of the Forum, which has charge of the bulletin board in the women's rest room,
will now work under the direction of Miss Margaret Lynn, professor of English, who will direct the different phases of women's war work in the University.
