H. S. ATHLETES FAIL TO SET NEW RECORDS
Wet Track Responsible for Slow Time in Most Events Saturday
Saturday
Retarded by a wet track, 190 Kansas high school athletes failed to break a single record on McCook Field Saturday. It was the fourteenth annual interscholastic rack and field meet of the university of Kansas. Wichita, Pratt, Otto and the regular schools in Classes A, B, and C, respectively.
Individual cups went to the following:
Class A, Tom Neely, Abilene's
Class B, Michael Horn, Evans,
Osage City, 15 points; Class C,
Charles Leslie, St. Johns.
One record was equaled by John Evans of Osage City, who ran the 100-yard dash in 10.1-5 seconds. On the kick he might have shortened the time.
"Considering the weather and the war, the meet was very successful," said W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, this morning. "The track was slow and heavy, and some of the high school athletes came with scarcely any training because of abnormal war conditions. Even at that, the meet brought forth many stars whom K. U. might well be proud.
"To show how close we kept to the complicated plans by which we handled almost two hundred athletes, we had planned to schedule for 5:40, was fired at 5:41."

SPORT BEAMS
The three run-like boys—ever see 'em? They were at the high school track meet here Saturday. One is from Abellone, one from Osage City, and one from St. Johns. Their names are Neely, Evans, and Leslie. Each got a cup for running at the head of the race because being the known A, B, and C. Each won first place in three dash events, and in each case it was the 50, 100, and 220. Can you beat it? Verly, Ringling's couldn't compete.
Endurance is James Bradshaw's middle name. James comes from K. C. K. to the high school meet, runs off a few more damses including the half mile and places in each, and then plays four matches in the tennis tournament, placing in the finals. And all this in one brief but brisk
afternoon. Home, James, and a good night's sleep!
The McKown Brothers of Pratt have lofty aims. Pole vaulting is their hobby. At the h. **me** meet Saturday they tied at eleven-feet-two, and then Earl raised it "half an inch upward." This Class B mark was twenty inches higher than the Class A record. Ray McKown is only a freshman in Pratt H. S. K. U. expects every McKown to do his duty!
K. U. BASEBALL TEAM MEETS ITS FIRST DEFEAT
State Normal·Nine Carries Off Victory to the Tune of
6 to 3
The Jayhawk baseball nine met its first defeat of the season Saturday it Emporia by the Kansas Normals, it Emporia by the Oklahoma Normals did not make an earned run.
"We put it on a platter and handed it to them," it the way Captain Smee summed up the game. The Jayhawkers connected for eight hits off the bench, but they didn't hold the Teachers to but three hits, and they were scattered.
Although the squad already has lost some valuable players who could have made K'is if they remained on the squad, and is likely to lose still more of the best players, the Jayhawkers will try to finish the season as well as possible, according to Captain Smee. The hopes for a Valley championship this year are receding as the squad continues to dwindle.
The only reason for the unexpected outcome of the game, according to the K. U. captain, is that the Jayhawker squad has not been able to practice for more than a week because of wet weather which put McCook and Hamilton Fields in unstable condition. The rain has fallen at Emporia and Coach Bill Hargis's proteges have had regular practices.
The Kansas lineup against the Normals Saturday was the same used in the Nebraska game here: Carter, c; Poirier, p; Chase, l1; Shoelfeld, 2b; McHenny, 3b; Pratt, ss; Captain, c; Pratt, ss. The next game on the Kansas schedule is with the Tigers on McCook Field, Thursday and Friday.

Jayhawkers Won 11 Firsts and 6 Seconds; Farmers Took 3 Firsts and 7 Seconds
Kansas won an easy track victory over the Kansas Aggies on a muddy track Friday 73 to 36. Neither team presented their full strength, both having lost men by their entrance into government service. Both teams were handicapped by lack of training by rainy weather.
HOTEL KUPPER
The Jayhawkers won eleven firsts and six seconds, while the Farmers won only three firsts and seven seconds. Kansas cleaned up in the high jump, broad jump, quarter and half. Washington had won both places in the high, hurdles and the score stood 29 to 19 in favor of K. U. did the Manhattan school appear to have a chance to win the meet. After that Kansas graduated away and the meet became only a matter of how large the score would be.
In the high hurdles, Uhlrau, running his first race for the Kansas Varsity, and Casey were beaten out of places by Beatty and Wilder of the Aggies. Beatty last year was a star in the Aggie high school and this was

In the broad jump, Johnson, competition for the first time for Kansas, won first with a leap of 21 feet 10 inches. Coach Hamilton was well pleased with the showing made by Johnson. He should be able to beat Simpson in the Missouri meet Saturday if he is able to do as well as he did on the play. Finally, the practice. Ziegler, another man competing for the first time, won first in the discus with a fine hurl of 118 feet 9 inches.
Rice and Miller stopped for want of competition in the high jump at 5 feet 6 inches. Billings, of the Agries, was better than Ziegler, Casey, or Woodward in the shot. Casey winning a clean sweep in the quarter OLeary made a clean sweep in the quarter OLeary making fast time considering the track. 53 4-5.
the first Missouri Valley meet in which he has competed. Crowley lost, second place only in the last twenty yards in the 100-yard dash.
Davidson did well in all of the dash events and Staterel had an easy time in the two mile against the Aggie man. Captain Rodkey and Murphy had things their own way in the half. The relay was the exciting event of the meet, Kansas not being assured of winning until Crowley made up the distance lost by Welsh. Rodkey and

Seniors Are Favorites in Annual Spring Interclass Track Meet On McCook Field
Sproul both ran good_races and increased the lead.
Paul O'Leary, brother of Dummy O'Leary, dashed off a neat dash for Lawrence high. He won fourth in the 100 against such stars as Neely of Abilene and Bradshaw of K. C. K.
CLASSES COMPETE TODAY
The annual spring interclass track met is being held this afternoon on McCook Field. There will probably be no records broken because few of the men have had a chance to get any real training for the last two weeks. The muddy track also will slow the time in the track events.
The meet appears to be a $n$ toss-up between the seniors and the freshmen with odds in favor of the seniors because of the large number of Varsity track men who are seniors. The best opportunity for new men and freshmen seems to be in the field events and hurdles.
William Shroeder, a senior from Alma, is a promising dash man. He won first in the low hurdles in Class C, and likely would have won the 50-yard dash if his school had not saved him. He scored 70-63. Shroeder has a 50-dash record of 5-2 5-seconds, a fifth better than the K. U. interscholastic mark.
A large percentage of the veterans in the meet this afternoon are either distance man but a few ard dash men. They will have more than their share of dash men meet, with Grissom, Haddock, and Schwartz. The meet today will serve as a sort of a try-out for Varsity men in the Missouri meet May 12.
Coffin, of Oread Training H. S., sounded a death-knell to all competitors when he tore off the half mile in 2:05 4:5 and won. He was four seconds ahead of the best half milers in Classes A and B.
Evans of Osage and Neely of Abilene can run the hundred meters on high without changing gears. The former made it Saturday in 10 1-5 on a heavy track, and the latter in 10 3-5. Both are seniors.
The annual Kansas-Missouri tennis tournament will be held in Columbia this week. The strength of Missouri team is unknown on account of bad training, and the Missouri men have had to contend, the Tiger K. U. tennis stars. The Tiger school this year has some new courts which have been delayed in their completion.
