UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MISSOURI WON FIRST IN CONFERENCE MEET
Mile Run
Captain Fred Rodkey Lowers K. U. Record for Half Mile Run
True to dope the Tigers won the track and field meet at Ames, Iowa, annual Missouri Valley Conference Saturday, with a total of 67 points. He scored eight for second place over Ames with a pointage of 34%. Gerritt took fourplace with 14 points, Kansas took fifth place with 12½ points, and Drake was sixth with 6 points while Owen succeeded in making but 1 point.
The reason for the small Kansas score is but five Jayhawkers were entered in the meet. Captain Free Rodkey lived up to his record and run his last race for Kansas by taking first place in the half mile running it in one minute fifty-seven and three-fifths seconds. This is one second faster than his own record here.
Duncan, Tiger miler, again won the mile event. Hawthorne of Ames was second while Sproull, Kansas miler, took third. Pittum, of Kansas, jumped deep and won the high jump from Rice, of Kansas, by jumping five foot ten and four-fifth inches. Rice has been jumping six feet in previous meets this year. Grutzmacher, the little Kansas broad-jump flier, did not live up to his Nebraska record and lost to one of the tallest men who won 22.61 feet. The summaries:
Captain Bob Simpson also close his athletic career in the Missouri Valley Conference by winning three firsts out of Missouri's eight firsts. In the midweek, he scored four of Missouri in the 100-yard dash and also ran in the half-mile relay.

He won one M last year as an outfielder on the baseball nine and succeeded in winning the state sports of football, basketball and baseball. He is the first man since 1908 to win three letters in one year.
He played end on the Tiger football team, guard on the basketball quintet
His work at a guard position on the basketball quintet gave him the title of one of the best guards in the Missouri Valley Conference, and his success in getting to first base and circling the diamond made him one of the best offensive baseball players on the Tiger nine.

Coach Olcott said, however, that the men who had come out were the ones that would likely form the backbone of the team next year, although he admitted that it will be depended upon to make a showing for Kansas in the Missouri Valley Conference games. The men who have been reporting regularly have been sent to Stem Foster, De Marquis, Rock Woodward, and Ralph Howland.
The prospects for a championship team do not look as good as they might the coach said, because of the large number of the most dependable players who have joined the colors. Coach Olcott said however he did not believe all the practices possible before school out and that he would give all the players a football to take home with them this summer.
