HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES ARRIVE IN LAWRENCE
Annual Kansas Interscholastic Track Meet Will be Held on McCook Tomorrow
TENNIS TOURNAMENT TOO
Tenth Annual Meet Postponed Until Saturday on Account of Muddy Courts
Athletes for the annual Kansas interscholastic track meet have begun to arrive in Lawrence for the meet. There will be more than 175 athletes on McCook Field when the meet is started tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The tenth annual interscholastic tennis tournament of the Missouri Valley is scheduled to start today but the matches will not begin before tomorrow on account of the muddy courts.
In the track meet which is scheduled for the afternoon, there will be three different classes, the schools being placed in different classes according to enrollment. K. U. Varsity men will act as officials at the high school meet. The track should be in fairly good shape for the meet if no more rain falls between now and the time of the meet.
Men for the tennis tournament are already in the city. The Kansas City, Mo., high schools will be well represented in the tournament. Kansas City, Kansas high school will send a team to the meet, as well as Wichita, Pratt, Winfield, Eskridge, Leavenworth, north of Kansas City, who will be played on the nine McCook Field courts and admission to the contests is free.
THREE MEET IN ONE
MEDALS TO WINNERS
All track events from the 50-yard dash up to the mile will be run in the meet and all Missouri Valley field events will be on the program of the meet. J. C. Grover, the popular Missouri Valley starter, will start all of the men, and this will assure a fast and well regulated meet.
MEDIAN TURNER
Entry autumn will be given to all men who have attended the meet. Medals will be given to winners of the first four places, and silver loving cups will be awarded to winners of each class, as well as to the individual point winners and any man breaking a record. The high school athletes will be entertained by the various fraternity houses while in Lawrence.
SPORT BEAMS
St. Marys called off the baseball game yesterday which was postponed from Tuesday because of rain. The weather has been such that Coach McCaryt's followers have not had a real practice for a week or more. The war situation is also causing considerable unrest among the players and it is probable a few of the men will quit to take military training.
Interest in spring basketball practice has also been lagging a little the last week but a new impetus will be given to it next Monday night, according to Captain Rudolf Uhrlaub. A coach who was unable until the last week and it is likely that more will come out Monday night. Coach Dutch Uhrlaub said the men were learning the new plays exceptionally well and that the Jay-hawkers would launch a championship quintet in the Missouri Valley Conference if the war did not cause the disbandment of intercollegiate athletics.
The women athletes of the University will play real baseball in a week or so, according to Coach Haze ratt. Pazz. Each class will organize a team and participate in games that the prominent athletes said the games would be open to everyone—except
the species, man. The game will be played south of the gymnasium.
K. U. ENLISTS IN BUG FIGHT
Uncle Sam Asks the Department of Entomology to do
The federal government has asked he department of entomology to cooperate with farmers in destroying he cren pests on Kansas farms.
Prof. S. J. Hunter, who is at the head of this work in Kansas, will divide the state into sections and appoint entomologists to each section. The government has asked all members of the department to work the year round during the war. Many of the advance and graduate students also be used. Details of the plan have not yet been fully developed.
INTERCLASS TRACK IS SLATED FOR MONDAY
Has Been Three Times Postponed - Seniors Have Edge
on Dope
The interclass track meet will be held on McCook College Monday afternoon starting at four o'clock, and unless there is a decided change in the weather conditions, the four classes will have to contend for honors on a muddy field. The freshman and senior teams are going weekeong being out of the running for the juniors in the high jump and broad jump.
Few men have been out for practice on account of war conditions as well as the cold and rain and the winner of the meet will probably be the team which can use its veteran track man team in the engagement in the meet. The freshmen lack the amount of training which the veteran senior track队 has.
Practically all of the Varsity track men should be in good shape for the meet on account of their meet with the Kansas Agagies today. The freshmen will be weakened by the loss of Mara Jones and the wounded mores will gain strength if Hilton competes for them in the hurdles and dashes.
The interclass meet was originally scheduled for last Saturday but was postponed three times until the present date of Monday was set.
MUST HAVE SUNSHINE TO PRESENT MAY FETE
Delayed Celebration Is Again Postponed—This Time
Indefinitely
And again is the May Fete postponed, this time indefinitely. The Fete was scheduled for tomorrow but it wasn't until he made it necessary that it be postponed.
"We must have one day of sunshine before we can attempt the Fete," said Mig Gittens, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. this morning. "It would be impossible to give the Fete tomorrow even if the sun should shine. We will wait until Sunday and then set a date. The time of the performance will be heralded by criers who will cavass the student district.
"We are already with the costumes and could give the fete with a few hours notice. We are sorry that we have to disappoint the many people who were coming from out of town but it is the only thing that can be done with the present weather conditions."
Tuesday at 4:30 o'clock or Thursday at the same hour may be the time of the performance. But those times are not definite.

KANSAS AGGIE MEET IS BEING HELD TODAY
Jayhawkers are Doped to Win in Annual Outdoor
Contest
The K. U.-Aggie track meet is being run off on McCook Field this afternoon in spite of the muddy track. Neither team has had training for a fast meet on account of weather conditions. Unless the Aggies have implemnted an even faster track, the Kansas in March, the Jayhawks should have an easy time in winning.
Coach Germany Schultz will send a squad of fifteen men here to compete. He will have Holroyd and Wilder in the dashes and the hurdles. Weimer also does the hurdles. For Kansas Hilton, Crowley and Davidson are running in the dashes and hurdles.
O'Leary and Welsh will run the quarter for K. U., while H洛ryd and Granfield will do the event for K. S. A. C. Rodkley and Murphy are entered in the half and the Aggies have Chafayez and Gordon as the German will run the mile for the farmers, and Sproull and either Howland or Stateler, for Kansas.
Stateler, Groene and possibly Howland will be the K. U. entries in the two-mile, while the Manhattan school have Tillotson, one of the best men on their team, in this event. The relay is almost a sure win for Kansas.
Trewecke will not be able to jump for Kansas in either the high or broad jump on account of his bad leg. Rice and Miller will do the jumping for Kansas and the Aggies have Wilder and Weimer. Pattinson and Wilder will oppose Enlow in the pole vault. In the weights Kansas will have Small, Casey, Woodward, and Ziegler and the Aggies have Shafer.

A corset is so personal—so much a part of one's very self—that it should be most thoughtfully selected and fitted by a skilful fitter.
Redfern Models enhance figure beauty and correct figure defects.
