Haddock took the 100-yard dash in 10 1-5, which is remarkable time considering the hard track. Seward capped the high hurdles easily and Ralph Rodkey, Fred's brother, had second place till the first lap. Fred Rodkey let brother beat him in the quarter and saved up for the half.
Haddock, a freshman, was individual point winner with 14 points, while Casey, a sophomore, was second with 13 points.

The javelin was one of the events on the program for the first time in any of the class meets. Haddock, who has been doing remarkable throwing with the discus made some good throws but stepped out of the ring. Gleigler, a junior, won first and Had. dock placed third.

The Jayhawker nine will hold together as long as it possibly can, according to Captain George Smee. A great deal of the talk circulating on the Hill about calling off all athletic contests in a certain set date is all bunk, he says. Several of the playwrights have our intention of taking the training at Ft. Riley but it is probable that a few or more of these men will remain in school. Besides a few may not be able to pass the rigid physical examination.
Relay 4-5 mile: seniors (Crowley,
Staterle, C. Sproull, and Rodkey)
first; freshmen, second. Only two
teams ran.
SPORT BEAMS
The Hash House league seems to be "blowed up." Enton Williams, chairman of the organization, withdrawn from school and it is up to the managers of the different
teams to schedule the game when rain or inclement weather makes it impossible to play the games on scheduled teams; these games have two more games to play each.
--have to run a fast mile to beat him in the coming meet.
The next big event in women's athletics will be an interclass tennis tournament. A baseball tournament will also be played but the most interest is centering in the tennis tournament. A large number of entries have already registered and more new ones are being recruited. Hazel Pratt is looking for a record breaking number to come out to make the different class teams.
TIGERS OPEN SERIES HERE
McCarty Hopes to Defeat M. U. Nin in the Next Conference Games Thursday and Friday
Thursday and Friday
The next baseball games on the Kansas schedule will be played Thursday and Friday afternoons on McCook Field when the Tigers will clash with Coach McCarty's professional team. The Tigers have lost a Missouri Valley Conference game this season, but the Jayhawkers have played but one conference game with Nebraska, while the Tigers have played a half dozen or so games against that the Cyclones and the Aggries; that the done favors the Tigers.
Kansas is still in the race for the valley championship, however, although Adrian Lindsay, the slugging second baseman, and several other candidates for the team have enlisted for military services. Coupled with the slugging ability of the Jayhawkers will be the old time rivalry between them and the Warriors. The team has proven that they also have a slugging bunch this season.
Kansas will rely to a great extent for a victory over the Tigers on the pitching ability of the three veteran pitchers of last year - Poirier, Craig, and Captain Smee. All three men have been working out, for an emergence and the fans will likely see a pitcher's battle when the two teams meet.
The Jayhawker squad held its regular practice yesterday afternoon on McCook Field and spent most of the time in batting practice. Lefty Anthony, who regularly fooled one of the batters, but most of the time the sluggers connected for long drives. Joe Pratt, predicted by some of the baseball followers as another Woody, showed up exceptionally with the bat. He has succeeded in getting a hit in every game so far, except at the Nebraska game.
Captain Smee said the squad would likely hold practice every day. The May Fete will be held on McCook
Get a date for the Company M Fund Dance for tomorrow night.
You will only be relieved of 75c when you get to the Gym and you will have the pleasure of doing your six bits.
The date rule has been declared off by the W. S. G. A. and good music has been arranged for, so go get her at the regulation time and let her know that you are doing your share to help the University raise that $500 for its own company.
Field today so the squad will practice on Hamilton Field.
WAR HINDERS OUTDOOR JAYHAWK-TIGER MEET
Both Teams Will be Crippled by the Loss of Men Through
Enlistment
The annual Kansas-Missouri outdoor meet will be on McCook Field Saturday afternoon. The Tigers will be crippled by the loss of Warren and Berry two Varsity men in the weights Gableman in the mile, and Wyatt in the quarter, all of whom have gone to college. The hawkeyes will be handicapped by the absence of Treweke in the high and broad jump.
There is a possibility that Small and Rinker may not be able to compete for Kansas. Neither of these men were in the Aggie meet and have not been given the chance to play Groene, Rice, and Welsh, may not get into the meet because of the chance of being called to Ft. Riley before Saturday. This would leave a big hole in the K. U. team, but probably the will be allowed to remain for the meet.
Saturday Missouri won from Ames 80 to 47 in a dual meet. Ames was not able to put up much of a fight because of the loss of several sure point winners. Simpson scored only 23 points for his team. He was not allowed to run in the mile relay, however. Duncan is said to have made remarkable time in the mile, doing the distance in 4:29 2-5. Sproill will
Missouri did not show up _ well in the half, two mile, discus, shot, high jump, or pole vault. Simpson went 22 feet in the broad jump and Robert was in a crippled condition. John was there and probably will meet and will probably give Simpson plenty of competition if he shows any improvement this week.
John M. Shea, upon being asked what he intended to eliminate dandelions on the campus said, "Well, we are going to try a new experiment."
"JUST LET THE DANDELIONS GET TIRED AND DIE"—SHI
"What are you going to do? Burn em?" he was asked.
"No." Shea replied, "We are just going to let them grow until they get tired of themselves and die out."
"Daddy" Sayre Day Program Today is Daddy Sayre day. This afternoon the Pharmics were given a half holiday and a baseball game was played between the Juniors and Seniors of the School of Pharmacy. A banquet will be given at the Eldridge House this evening.

KIRSCHBAUM CLOTHES
STYLE-and what is BENEATH
Underlying the surface look of a garment are the things that determine its stamina—its staunchness—its serviceableness.
For if a suit is cankered with weak spots inside they will eat their way outside at the first sign of rigorous wear. A suit that is 90 percent genuine and 10 percent imitation soon looks 90 percent imitation and 10 percent genuine.
No man ever received satisfactory wear from a garment that did not contain these essentials: an all-wool fabric thoroughly shrunk by the London cold water process—and not by the first rain in which the wearer is caught.
—genuine linen canvas and not a cheap cotton or burlap substitute.
—sewing at all points of strain done painstakingly by hand with silk thread—and not weak, unsightly cotton.
For the man who wants to be sure that there is not a detail in the whole suit where a cheating makeshift is tolerated—whether he pays $15.00—$16.50—$20.00—$25.00 or as high as $50.00 there is one absolute safeguard.
It is the Kirschbaum label.
Hints on the Choice of Clothes
A point or two for you young men to keep in mind in selecting a spring suit:
The coat should fit closely so that in buttoning the middle (or top) button it is necessary to force the garment just a trifle, thus accentuating the waist line.
The correct coat collar this year sits rather flatly about the neck.
The old high-standing effect in the collar is passe.
The length of the trousers should be just enough to hang clear of the shoes without breaking—with the bottoms absolutely straight, and not hollowed above the instep in front. By The Spectator.
