SPORT BEAMS
The gymnasium classes have already started outdoor exercises. Yesterday afternoon the two-thirty sophomore gym class took a workout on the basketball courts south of Robinson Gymnasium, and in a few more days the cross-country hikes will begin.
The next game on the Varsity baseball schedule will be played next Saturday when the Jayhawker squad will go to St. Marys to clash with the St. Marys's nine. The coach is experimenting with a different nine; it is probable a different nine will start the game than the nine that played against the Kansas Normals.
The batting ability of the Haskell Indians was shown in the game yesterday afternoon with Ottawa U., in which Kahodt and Davis smashed the ball out for a home run each, while Stover, the famous football player, drove the ball over the south embankment for three bases.

VARSITY NINE HITS STRIDE
With Shifted Lineup Coach McCarty's Team Wins from Frost by
Score of 5 to 0
The Varsity baseball nine played classy ball yesterday afternoon and romped over Coach Clark's freshman nine in a five inning practice game for
Coach McCarty tried out a new line-up and it worked better than any nine so far. In the new lineup, Schoenfeldt was put on third base and Gibbons was shifted to center field, while Bill Weber, who brought in the first Jayhawker score in the Normal game, hold down the right field position.
Schoenfeld played an excellent game at third, and Gibbens "looked like a star out there" in center field according to Captain George Smee. Bill Weber also held his reputation as a sluggler and pinch-hitter by making two clean hits. Weber worked out better than in any of the previous practices. Doc Marquis also worked well with Poier as a battery combination.
The entire lineup that played together yesterday was: Marquis and Poirier, and Carter and Smee as battles, Chase 1b, Lindsey 2b, Schoenfeld 3b, Pratt ss, Taylor ff, Gibbs cf, and Weber rf. There is lots of competition for places on the team and there may be changes in the lineup that played against the Kansas Normals for the next game.
Potsy used thirteen players in the freshman lineup. The frush players who got into the game were: Davis and Joshua McMachair 2b, Isenberger and Convis 2b, Wilson ss, N. Isenberger 3b, Wenley 5f, Smith cf, Brush and Oyster f
Dr. E. H. Bailey Finds Means of Us
ing $1.24 Corn Instead of $2.12
Wheat in Making Bread
CHEMISTRY HITS HIGH PRICES
Chemistry and cheapness are not associated terms in the mind of the student who pays large-sized laboratory fees in the department of chemistry, but facts prove that one of the main interests of chemistry at present is in reducing the cost of food and supplies by superimining on various foods in an effort to find cheaper substitutes with an equivalent food value.
Dr. E. H. S. Bailey of the department of chemistry has made experiments with breadstuffs and has found that wheat flour mixed with wheat flour is excellent bread. Corn is quoted at $1.24 and wheat at $1.23 a bushel. Unfortunately, further substitution of corn for wheat flour is impossible since the gluten of corn prevents the bread from drying if more than twenty per cent is used.
The Department of Agriculture has published a pamphlet on the subject giving recipes for making this mixed bread. Since this government cook book is free, its use will cut down expenses both by saving the cost of another recipe book and by showing how to prepare cheaper food.
Further experiments on other substitutes for expensive foods are being carried on by chemists throughout the country.
