TWELVE BASEBALL MEN LEAVE FOR COLUMBIA
Jayhawkers Invade Tigers' Field for Last Games of
Season
Coach McCarty left this morning at eight o'clock via the Union Pacific, with twelve of the best Jayhawker players left in school, to invade the campus at Columbia, Mo., for two chasers in Brower's all-victorious Tiger nine.
The Jayhawker squad was jubilant and very optimistic over the two games and declared that the Tiger nine would suffer at least one defeat if not two in the two-game series, tomorrow and Saturday afternoons. The fact that Kansas outplayed the Utah game here May 11 is probably responsible for the optimistic atmosphere of the sound.
The squad held the final practice last night on McCook Field before leaving for Columbia it is likely, however, that the squad will hold a light practice on the Tiger diamond this afternoon or in the morning before going into the final games of the season.
Coach Brewer said that a Tiger baseball game at Columbia had not failed to bring a to two three thousand crowd this season, and that he was looking for a record-breaking crowd at the two Kansas games there.
Both Red Craig and Connie Poirier will be on hand to retire the Tiger batters. The lineup will be: Carter, McIlhenny; Bratt, 2b; Pratt, 3b; Foster, 3b; Taylor, I; Chase, cf; and Stevenson, rf. Smith will be used at the receiving position if Carter is hurt, and McIlhenny may also get into the game at shortstop. It is not certain whether he will start the game tomorrow. It is very probable that both will be used during the two games.
SPORT BEAMS
The Illinois tennis team will not be able to play Kansas tomorrow or Saturday, according to a telegram which Manager W. O. Hamilton received from the Illinois athletic authorities this morning. This leaves the Jayhawker tennis squad without a match this week. Captain Cowill and Kenneth Uhls, the Kansas players, were anxious to get a match with Illinois.
Coach Bonnie Reber's track men were out on the McCook Field track Wednesday getting into shape for the big annual invitation high school track meet Saturday. The meet this year was more than ever before. Manager Hamilton will try to bring some strong competition here for the Kansas City track squads.
Missouri's percentage of games won is going to take a considerable slump and her percentage of games lost is going to take an unexpected increase tomorrow and Saturday if the declaration comes. McCray's proteges for attending of the game seem to be surer of winning one or both of the games at Columbia than any of the games this season. We hope they are right.
The only athletic contests to be held at the University over the weekend will be the invitational high school track meet, the women's baseball games today on the women's athletic sports gymnasmand, the women's class tennis tournament on McCook Field courses, today, tomorrow and Sunday.
"Work on the new athletic field which was begun last fall by the student body is now being resumed. The football field was worked until the ground is in perfect condition, and then Bermuda roots were planted. Experts say that this will make the best sod possible.
"It is the plan of President Waters to make this field one of the best football fields in America, so he stated in a letter to the team of its baseball last winter, and it begins to look as if his goal will be reached."—Miamattah Daily Mercury.
"Slusher continues to lead the club in taking advantage of a pitcher's control. He has accumulated 11 walks, while Captain McMillan follows with 8. "Mike" Giltner holds the distinction of leading his teammates in the number of sacrifice hits with 7 to his credit.
"The Tigers continue to hit the ball as the season progresses and have not given any indications of tobogann in their hitting form up to date. According to the averages issued by C. L. Brewer, director of athletics, the Missouri aggregation has a team average 275 for the season. "King Dippold is leading the chase in instituting the offerings of the opposing moundsmen with an average of .432. Farmer and Lansinger are his close trailers.
"The Tiger twirling staff has held its opponents to forty runs and 100 hits in fifteen games. Steemmons has scored 367 runs, Giltner the Tiger south府, has five
victories to his credit. Both of these twirlers have gained a shut-out, but Morgan and Keeling have not been enthused at this season."—Daily Missourian.
SCHEDULE FOR NEXT YEAR
TO BE PLANNED IN FALL
When asked what new courses will be offered, Dr. Colego College next fall, Doin Olm Diin College.
"That is more than mortal man can say. Because of unsettled conditions the schedules will be made out at the last moment next fall, and even then there will be many changes after the opening of school. Courses will depend on the number and class of students who attend."
There probably will be three new courses in the School of Education under Prof. C. A. Buckner who will return from a year's leave of absence at Columbia University. The courses are high school curriculum, theory of social measurements, and educational measurements.
Big Sisters Drive Away
The Freshman's Blues
The Big Sisters of K. U. work all year round.
During enrollment week they spend long hours conducting freshmen through the mazes of our complicated system. Until Thanksgiving they cheer up Little Sisters who are threatened with home sickness. At examination time they act as amateur tutors.
Even then their work is not finished. Now they are looking up the high school girls who intend to enter K. U. next autumn and in the summer they write them letters in which they give the personal welcome that the University in a general way extends to all new students.
That is the programme of the Big Sisters, which is one of the most important committees of the Y. W. C. A. Their duty is to help new girls in the University in every possible way. By the aid of the Big Sisters, new students find it easier to get acquainted, and harder to be homesick. They learn the customs of the school, understand how to enjoy greenness which is the inevitable fate of the freshman who has no upper-classman to act as adviser and friend.
The committee has been working hard this spring in an effort to get in touch with prospective students. The College will be sending next year's freshmen by writing to the principals of high schools throughout the state for lists of senior girls who plan to come to the University. As soon as all the principals are assured, the Big Sisters will begin to write "Welcome to Our College" letters.
"But it's fun," said a Big Sister.
"The little Sister can help us to help" says the Little Sister.

TRACK SQUAD LEAVES FOR NEBRASKA TODAY
Captain Rodkey Believes His Team Can Win Easily Friday Afternoon
Capt. Fred, Rodkey, with sixteen other Jayhawker track men and Coach W. O. Hamilton left this morning at 11:42 von the Union Pacific for Linnville, where Kansas will meet the Cornhusker track team tomorrow afternoon.
The Nebraska-Kansas meet was originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, but it was changed to Friday afternoon so that Coach Hamilton could return to Lawrence in time to take charge of the annual invitation game on Saturday. A hundred or more high school athletes are expected here Saturday.
The Jayhawk tracksters believe they will win from Nebraska. Captain Rodkey predicts that Kansas will have a twenty-one point margin over the Cornhuskers, including the relay, events, high jump, broad jump, pole vault, and the relay. Nebraska is strong in the dashes, weights, and hurdles. Woodward and Ziegler, however, will furnish the Cornhuskers some strong competition in the weights. Woodward won first place at the state championship meet here Saturday and also took second place in the shot put.
The Kansas distance men should break a few of their records on the Nebraska track as it has but recently been finished and there are but four laps to the mile. The track is in extenuating conditions of the races should be fast. The only change of entries for the meet tomorrow will be Rudolf Uhrlau in the
120-yard hurdles and George Yoehum in the 220-yard hurdles. Both men have been working out every afternoon since the Tiger meet. Captain Rodkey, Sproull, O'Leary, and Murphy will run the relay for Kansas.
The entire Jayhawker squad were out to the light practice yesterday afternoon getting a final workout in the gym. The men seemed to be in high spirits and should be in their best condition of the season tomorrow. Yoehum, the new hurder who skimmed his left knee Tuesday afternoon, said that the injury had healed up entirely and that he was in good condition for the meet.
The Kansas track men who went to Lincoln this morning and who are going to bring back the long end of the track meet tomorrow are: Capuchin Sproull, Murphy, Stateler, Howland, Groene, Pattinson, Ziegler, Rice, Miller, Grutzmacher, Woodward, Uhrlah, Yoeum, and Crowley.
