FOOTBALL MEN BEGIN THEIR SPRING TRYOUTS
Candidates Learn Rudiments of Gridiron Game Under Direction of Beau Olcott
Coach Beau Olcott called out the Jayhawker football forces for the first spring practice yesterday afternoon. The practices will be continued every afternoon, with the exception of the game against the until also a clock, until school is out.
The coach said he wanted every Varsity man for next season's team to report promptly at five o'clock, suited up, at the track house, so that he may be able to get in a good hour's practice every day. Only about 20 reported for the practice yesterday, but the coach said others would report today as only a few of the players were notified yesterday.
Ray Heath, a veteran Jayhawker end, will be in charge of the linemen in spring practices, and Rock Woodward, star halfback, will have charge of the backfield players. Capt. Sweiden did not get to come out for the practice yesterday and probably will not be out for the throwouts on his team with schoolkits. He said, however, he would sure be back at his old place at fullback next fall and would give the Tigers and Cornhuskers all he had.
Coach Olcott said he would be in personal charge at the practices, providing his attack of rheumatism does not get worse. He has been sick for about six weeks and was not able start spring training. He is greatly improved now and says he will probably be able to be out from now on.
The practice yesterday afternoon consisted of a general limbierung up in passing the ball, starting, and kicking. This sort of practice will probably be in order the rest of the week, and then much heavier practices will begin. The Jayhawkers have better prospects for a championship team next season than they have had for several years, providing the players who have enlisted in the regular army and the army of the soil get back in the fall. Fifteen K men on last year's squad and twenty-two letter men on
the freshman squad will be back t make places on the Varsity team
SPORT BEAMS
The Jayhawker nine will play tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock on McCook Field with its ancient rival, the Cornhuskers. Captain Swede Nielsen carried the piksun over the goal-line during the football season and it is now up to Captain Smee to put the baseball over the home-run fence. K. U. has just good athletes as our northern rival and it is up to the Jayhawker fans to cheer the Jayhawker nine to victory.
Five hundred or more fans cheered the Jayhawk nine to victory against the Kansas Normals although most of the students had gone home for the Easter vacation or stayed down town for the Loyalty Day demonstrations. The other students, like the school, there will probably be a record breaking attendance at the two Cornhusker games tomorrow and Thursday afternoons.
The two games with the Cornhuskers will be the opening Missouri Valley Conference games for Kansas.
Of course I am going *to* see "If I Were Dean" at the Bowersock tomorrow night.
Certainly!!!!
Aren't you?
The Tigers have won the only conference games that have been played so far this season. They won two NCAA Kansas Aggies and two from Ames.
Connie Poier, the speedy Jay-hawker pitcher, is getting more control every day. Wednesday afternoon, he literally drove a moccasin's head into the ground with a small lime-stone rock. He could not have hit the reptile's head more squarely with a shot-gun with a five-foot range.

The Jayhawker nine will encounter its old rival, Nebraska on McCook Field Tomorrow afternoon. Another Jayhawker victory added to the victory on the gridiron will be welcomed by the Jayhawker fans, and from the crowd it looks as though the Jayhawker fans will not be disappointed.
Captain George Snee said that he did not have any dope on the Cornhusker nine, but he expects to chalk up a victory against them. He said, however, that the game would probably be close and hard fought, as Nebraska usually puts out good athletic teams.

The Jayhawker squad has been going good in the practice games with Potsy's freshman lately and have won every game for the last week. Captain Smee leads the squad in batting averages and will probably be a big factor in the Jayhawker's playing tomorrow.
COACH CHANGES LINEUP
The lineup has been changed around a great team to the final home with the Kansas Norman, and it will be changed some more, if Lindsey is declared ineligible. If he does not get to play, the Kansas lineup will probably be: Carter catcher, Poirier or Craig pitcher, Chase first, Sheoefeldt second, Milhomme third, Fratt short, McKenna fifth, Gibbens center, and Weber right.
Connie Poirier, the little but speedy Jayhawk twirler, is getting more control every day, and should present an interesting challenge for his husker batters. He fanned five of

Potsy's freshmen, in a recent practice game, and several of the freshman sluggers say they fear him more than any of the other Varsity pitchers who have worked out against them. Craig and Captain Smee both have reputations behind them from last year, and will be used if necessary.
This is a busy time in Jayhawker sportdom. The Varsity nine will meet twice with the Cornhuskers, and three times with the freshmen the rest of the week. Eight Pan-Hellenic baseball nine are scheduled to play. Twelve Hash House games are also scheduled. Six professional fraternity nines will meet. The Jayhawker Varsity football team will play four teams. The tennis players will play numberless, games and the women swimmers will practice daily for the rest of the week. The track team will also hold daily workouts.
George Nettels, e20, of Topca, who starred at tackle on the 1916 freshman team is out for spring football. Many football experts who saw the game last fall will probably make one of the leading tackles on the Varsity next fall.
