Track Season Opens With Seventy Out for Positions with Squad
Murphy And Rice Are Only Letter Men Left From Last Year
Many Position to be Filled
Twelve Letter Men Of Last Year's Squad Have Enlisted
With but two letter men as a nucleus, Coach W. O. Hamilton has started to build a track team that will rank well with the other Missouri Valley entries. The two old men are Murphy and Rice.
Of the twenty letter men on last year's squad twelve have enlisted leaving the team in a wrecked condition and causing Coach Hamilton to depend upon green material.
TWOFootball MEN HAVE REPORTED
The new men are turning out well,
seventy have reported and more are
expected. All of the new men rea-
lized, all were a chance to play,
good this year and the squad will
be keen for positions on the squad.
Davidson and Ligette were two football
men who reported yesterday.
More men on the football squad are
expected to turn out in a few days.
ROSS SHOWING OF WELL
Vice President, Jim Lumpkin
from Baker University who was
expected to work on the high jump with
Rice, enlisted recently. Russell,
another Baker athlete, is showing up
well in the quarter mile.
The board track was put down in the gymnasium yesterday and the men used it to a good advantage. The right men are coming out slowly.
The track captain for this year has not been chosen yet.
SPORT BEAMS
The Ames five had a close shave in the game with Grinnell College Tuesday, winning by a 18-14 score. The Iowa Aggies had previously beaten Coe College but had suffered defeat at the hands of the Camp Dodge队.
The Drake Bulldogs, generally rated among the weaker schools in the Missouri Valley, may develop a basket ball team this year that will be among the leaders. The Camp Dodge quintet has to extend itself to the limit to defeat Drake by a small margin.
The athletic board at Washburn College did something that is unusual in college athletic circles when they granted only ten football letters to men who played the past season. Only one guard received a letter.
The big event of the indoor track season in the Valley, the annual Missouri-Kansas dual meet, will be held in Convention Hall at Kansas City on March 15. Manager Hamilton went to Kansas City last week and arranged to hold the meet then.
Nebraska may yet put a strong basketball team in the field, according to reports from the Lincoln institution. Although the candidates are mostly new men, their play has been greatly improved in the last week and the Husker supporters are living in hopes.
The Cornhusker football schedule, which was announced recently by Coach Stewart, will be a battle of champions as the Daily Nebraskan says. Nebraska will meet the University of Denver, Rocky Mountain champions; the University of Washington, champions of the Pacific Coast; Notre Dame, independent title holders in the middle west and Syracuse, champs in the far east.
The quarantine for spinal meningitis has been lifted at Manhattan and the Aggie basketball hopes have gone up. Aggie supporters are pulling for another Valley championship team but Coach Cleverenger has only two letter men, Captain Van Trine, forward, and Clarke, guard, around which to build his quintet.
Aldrich, halfback, and Boyd, quarterback on the Ames football team the past season, are again playing side by side, this time on the basketball team. Both men are forwards and their fast floor work and goal shooting have featured the three games played by the Iowa farmers thus far.
Important Changes In Women Basketball Rules
University Women Like New Style of Play—Centers May Throw Goals
There are three very important changes in the women's basketball rules this year. Now, the centers can throw goals; the ball can be jugged once in the air; one can not be put out of the game for three personal fouls, four fouls warns and five dislaws. The new zone is not counting line fouls. That new zone behind the goal in which the ball can be played.
The K. U. women athletes like the new rules, although they have not been given a thorough trial yet. They like to play the full length of the hall. Much enthusiasm is being shown by the girls this year for business, as well as the work in the practice for the interclass games is showing up well.
The floor has just been painted with red and grey lines and the baskets fitted up with new cords. If a person is classified as a sophomore and plays on the sophomore team the first semester and is classified as a junior the second semester, she may play on the junior team.

Adopted French Orphan
Sends W. S. G. A. Thanks
Marjorie Rickard of Council Gets Letter From Mother Of War Baby
A letter from the French war orphan which the Woman's Student Government Association adopted last spring was received just before Christmas by Marjorie Rickard, a member of the council.
"Since your address came to me just today I have not been able, to my great regret, to thank you on receipt of your first check.
The translation of the letter says:
“Sermoji, 19 November.
Deer Point.”
"I do it today for my little one for she is a child of fours years and cannot do it. Both of us offer you our care," he says, that life may spare you all sorrows.
"The poor father fell for our france the fifth of September, 1914, at Rehaurillers (Meurte et Moselle). Before the war, he was valet de life. But we have lived like. At present we have come to spend a few days with our family.
"Mille, Henriette Desfranges,
I. L. Ros Vendome, Paris."
Miss Rickard has sent an answer in French to Mile. Desfranges assuring her of the sympathy of the University women for the cause of France and the United States and thanking her for her offer of friendship.
"In thanks you for your fraternal offering permit me, dear benefacress, to send from your little protege a great French kiss.

In order to determine whether there is any possibility of University students being carriers of spinal meningitis, several sophomore medics who are enrolled in a special bacteriology class will examine throat bacteria of the freshmen and sophomore medic student.
Soph Medics To Conduct Tests For Meningitis
There is very little possibility of meningitis bacteria being found in the throats of the students, according to instructors in the department, but the investigation will not only furnish good practice for the students who carry it out, but will also be a measure to safeguard the health of the University.
The same sort of an investigation has been carried on by the department of bacteriology for several years. In these investigations a great number of bacteria is always found, but few of these are pathogenic or harmful kinds. Evidences of tuberculosis and many other diseases are sometimes found.

Thirty K. U. Engineers May Enlist With Reserves
Chocolates to be good must be pure and fresh. We make our own. Wiedmann's.—Adv.
Of the thirty-eight students in the School of Engineering who have applied for enlistment in the reserve corps, thirty probably will meet the requirements necessary for enlistment in the reserve.
Up to noon today, three more had been successful in meeting the requirements, making a total of twenty-eight, with two still in doubt.
