CLASS ATHLETES WILL HOLD MEET WEDNESDAY
Freshmen Expect to Win if Aggies Contest Keeps Varsity Out of the Running
The interclass track meet was postponed from last Saturday to Wednesday. Coach W. O. Hamilton hoped to have the meet this afternoon but cold weather and a muddy track pre-vented. If the rain continues tomorrow it may be necessary to have the meet Thursday.
If the meet is held Wednesday the baseball game with St. Marys will be held the same day. In case it is not, the meeting will be Thursday, the Varsity men will not be able to compete on account of the Aggie meet here the next day. This will be a great help for new track asses. So who the new men are praying for more rain.
It is quite probable that the meet will be held Wednesday and if that is the case all Varsity men will be in the meeting which may be used as a try-out for the Aggie meet Friday. The seniors appear to have the best chance to win if the Varsity men are in the meet. If no Varsity men are able to compete they will travel away for the freshmen. The postponing of the interclass meet will give the men more time to get into condition.
BAD WEATHER STOPS ALL VARSITY BASEBALL
Coach McCarty Hopes to Mee St. Marys in Scheduled Contest Tomorrow
The damp rainy, weather has put McCook and Hamilton Fields in such an unusual condition, that Coach McCarty's baseball players have not played on the field during day afternoon when they rumped on the Cornhuskers by a score of 13 to 2.
The strip about fifteen feet wide around the base lines is in the worse shape because the grass has been skinned off the weed. The coach said, "We want to keep it squared for practice again just as soon as the weather permitted."
The Jayhawker nine is scheduled to clash with the strong St. Mary's nine on McCook Field tomorrow at four o'clock, if the weather clears off autumn and you pick up a blighter 'The game promises to be much better' than the game at St. Mary's April 4 when the Jayhawkers won by a 6 to 0 score, because the St. Mary's nine made a considerable number of games which probably cost them the game.
Adrian Lindsey, the slugging second basman, has been declared eligible and it is probable that he will win. Lindsey is the pitcher, the pitcher. Lindsey was one of the most feared batters in the Missouri Valley Conference in 1915 and he shows promise of obtaining that honors by living up to his form in the practices.
Captain Smee is confident of winning although he predicts the game will be close. The Kansas players slugged the ball out for sixteen hits in his first start and the captain believes the team will also hit the St. Mary's pitcher.
Student tickets will admit to the game, but fifteen extra cents will be charged for seats in the grand stand. "Dates" will be allowed according to Skin Grever, president of everyone is expected to cheer for K. U. An exceptionally large enthusiastic crowd was out to the Nebraska game.
SPORT BEAMS
The Hash House games which were scheduled for Saturday were postponed because of rain. Gordon Street, of the Dunakin Club, said yesterday that he did not know just when the teams would decide to play for the managers of the teams to decide on a date on which their teams could meet.
The professional fraternity games were also postponed because of the rain and will probably be played some time later. The dates have not yet been decided upon.
Rain also caused the postponement of the Nebraska-Aglaie games at Manhattan Friday and Saturday. The game here Wednesday has been the only Missouri Valley Conference game of the season for the Cornhuskers although they have been scheduled for four games.
Mandeville, the star freshman half-back, said that his morning lunch would soon consist of a bowl of shrapnel and a piece of warmed lead. Mandy believes in being sociable however, and said he would divide his

Carl Rice started working in track when he first entered school. He was what the old Varsity men termed a "dub". He could jump but he did not compare with the Varsity men. The next year he was outshadowed by Treweke. But the latter part of the year he came to the fore although nobody ever thought he would be able to clear six feet.
This year he began to come forward as a star when he tied with Treweke in the Aggie indoor meet. His showing in the Missouri meet was also of the caliber of a coming man. Then last week he was sent to the Varsity men were all of the Varsity men were gind. He placed second against some of the best men of the East by jumping six feet. Rice is a junior.

By Clearing Six Feet Kansas Man Takes Second in Record Event
$5 and up
The showing of Rice was remarkable considering the star jumpers of the East whom he had to compete against. This is the first time Rice has gone back to the Penn games, his splendid showing this spring season, and will be assured. All of the pole vaulters on the Penn meet failed to clear twelve feet, the third place winners going only 11 feet 6 inches.
Carl Rice won second place in the high jump, the only event in which he was entered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill delphia Saturday. He jumped six feet. The winner, O. Larsen of Brigham Young, Utah, broke the intercollegiate record established five months ago by leaping 6 feet 5% inches.
The Missouri mile relay team helped uphold the Missouri Valley, by winning second in the mile relay. Pennsylvania won the race. Simpson the high hurdles but failed to break the record. He was cleared grass course. Simpson is alleged to have gotten away to a bad start which is supposed to account for his not breaking the record. Kansas track fans who have seen him run over the hole made of breaking almost any hurdle record if he is in good condition.
Dick Treweecke, the only other Kansas entry in the meet, failed to place in either the high jump or broad jump. The condition of his right leg probably accounts for his poor showing because he has been jumping over six feet this spring, but still managed to go for several days before he left for the East and it was hoped that his leg had been put into good shape.
Many stars of the big eastern schools were not in the meet this year on account of the war. Many of the athletes in the schools back East have enlisted as they have in U. U. and the western universities.
