JANUARY 7,1918.
Loss of Eighteen Men From K. U. Track Team Will Be Big Handicap
Hopes of Coach Hamilton Are Centered In Last Year's Freshmen
Only Two Letter Men Here
Class Of Sixty-Five Work At Track Instead Of Military
With eighteen "K" men from last year's track team either graduated or in some form of the military service, and with only two veterans in school around whom to build the 1918 team, Coach W. O. Hamilton faces the gigantic task of forming an almost entirely new squad to represent K. U. on the cinder path next spring. Rice and Murphy are the only letter men remaining in school, since Joe Casey, weight man and hurdler on the squad last year, enlisted in the aviation corps.
Even with the prospects of only two veterans being in line, however, Coach Hamilton is far from discouraged, because the freshman class last year will be an intract track man who are in school now and are eligible for Varsity competition.
Carl Rice, star high jumper who placed second in the Pennsylvania Relay Games last spring, will be the mainstay of the team in the high jump and should easily place first in Missouri Valley meets. Rice is also a good broad jumper. Vernon Smith, another high jumper, who won his letter at Baker two years ago, will be eligible for the team and this pair should make the University place well in the Valley meets in this event.
Pat Murphy, half miler who ran in this event with Rodkey last year and was also a member of the relay team, will be on hand to make the Valley speedsters hustle. Murphy won his first letter as a member of the 1917 team and proved a reliable man in all the meets.
GOOD FRESHMEN RETURN
Marshall Haddock, the most promising of the big crop of 1917 freshman stars, will undoubtedly win his share of points for the team. Haddock was the fastest man in the University in the class of 1918 and a hard worker in the shot put, discuss and javelin should go a long way toward making the Jayhawkers strong in the field events.
Joe Schwartz, another sophomore and former Kansas City High School star, will be a valuable addition to the ranks of the sprinters and, with Haddock, should make Kansas stronger in the dashes than it many years. Lobaugh, from last season's Varsity squad, is also out for the dashes.
NEW MEN FOR FIELD EVENTS
Rodley Rakoff showed well in the quarter mile while running for the yearling squad last spring and is in excellent condition, as he has not broken training since the close of the cross country season. Rodley should be a big help with graduation, both in the middle distance runs and in the relay team. Russell, former Baker University athlete, is another quarter miler who is a candidate for the team.
Dutch Uhrlaub and Nat Armold have had experience in the hurdles. Bart尔德, armer lavence High School athlete will try the pole vault and Schoepel, a sophomore who showed promise in Coach Herman Old
cott's shot-putting contest last winter, intends to try his hand at throwing the weights.
DISTANCE MEN INEXPERIENCED
It will be necessary to pick a new long distance squad as Sproul, Staterle and Groene were graduated in June. Fred Rodkey's cross country runners are the most promising candidates for places and nearly all of the men have been in training in the summer season. The trysession, Captain Rex Brown, Captain-elect McCall, Rodkey, Dewald, Hanna, Buffington and Coffey were the distance runners on the squad.
Sixty-five men are taking track work as a substitute for military drill and possibilities for the development of promising speedsters from this squad are good.

Exhibited At Museum
G. U. S. Hovey Collection of Indian Relies Consists of 7.500 Specimens
A large collection of Indian relics from a Kansas Indian village, is one of the most interesting exhibits on the top floor of the Museum. The collection consists of 7500 different speci- fies and artifacts of Indian mastic utensils carved from stone.
One of the unique specimens is a tiny square of stone with a carved image of a Jesuit father mounted upon it. The little monk shows a head draped in the style in which the Jesuits robed themselves. There are also small stone Bibles and pence used by the Jesuit clergy for ceremonies. The Indians carved these images from stone to show their religious beliefs.
A large amount of the material from which these specimens were manufactured was transported, evidently, from the Dakotas to the Kansas village, and was probably obtained by trade or exchange with other states. It was mounted on the Missouri River, at a point that was favorable for crossing.
Men's Glee Club Gives First Concert Jan. 24
The collection was made by the late Mr. G. U. H. Suey of Whitechurch, Wyandotte County, and was donated to the University by his sister Annie Hovey in 1973. Mrs. Hovey had that week and inspected the arrangement of the collection which has been installed in new cases.
The Woman's Glee Club will give its annual concert early in February, according to Prof. W B. Downing, director. Work on several numbers of I for the concert has been progressing rapidly, and as soon as so some cantata or dance for woman's participation be selected, the reports will be complete.
The club will go to Camp Funston some time next semester to give a concert. Three patriotic numbers have been learned. Professor Downing believes it will be unnecessary to cut down the membership of the club before concerts. Although the membership at first was large, several have voluntarily resigned because Fine Arts credit is not given for the work.
A mathematical discussion "Sur les integrales doubles des variétés algebraiques," by Prof. Solomon Lefschetz of the School of Engineering, appears as a final chapter in publication "Annali di Mathematica" of Milan, which has just been received here. Professor Lefschetz is known as a writer on mathematical subjects, not among the universities of the United States, but in foreign universities as well.

The money received from the plays and the dues paid by the members the association supports a scholarship at the University, and assists in a foreign scholarship which the national association of Alumnae supports. Each it brings to the University, speakers on vocational subjects for women.
SPORT BEAMS
Washington University will probably put up a stiff fight in the Valley this year, with Benway and Kling in school to form the nucleus of a strong quintet. Benway will be remembered here as the little forward who gave Kansas rootsers a big scare last year with his wonderful dribbling.
Camp Funston, will have one of the fastest combinations in the Missouri Valley when the army boys start working together. Hodge, former captain and forward on the Williams team, played well for the soldiers. Swede Carlson, former star Jayhawk athlete, is a promising candidate for the Funston team.
Word comes from Manhattan that the Aggie basketball team is in poor shape with Captain Van Trine, Wheedon and Hinds, three men counted on as regulars, quarantined because of a spinal meningitis scare in Aggieville, and Wooster, a fourth candidate for the team, declared ineligible.
Professors Visit in East Prof. F. C. Dockerey attended a meeting of psychology in Pittsburg, and afterwards visited with Dean Olm Templin, who is at Washington D. C. organizing the National War League of American Colleges. Prof. C. A. Dykstra was also a visitor in Washington. He went to the meetings of the American Political Science Association in Philadelphia.

Freshman, heed not the time as registered by the clock on the top of Blake Hall. Take warning from the sad experience of last year's freshmen and turn not thy head in that direction.
