KANSAS WINS OPENING GAME WITH NORMALS
1
Score 3 to 1 at End of Hotly Contested Early Season Game
GAME SAVED IN EIGHTH
Poirier Fans Fourteen Visitors and Brings in Two Winning Scores.
The Jayhawker baseball nine won their opening game of the season, Thursday afternoon, in a close exciting clash with the strong Kansas Normal nine by a 3 to 1 score. A large crowd saw the game despite the fact that most of the student body had gone home for the Easter vacation.
Neither team scored or hit during the first three innings, but at the beginning of the fourth, the Teachers took the lead by making the first of the games win by a second by the bench. The Teachers continued in the lead until the last half of the sixth innning when Captain Smee, the first man to bat, made a two-bagger for the first Jayhawker hit. Adrian Lindsey followed and Cooper pitched the first free hit to first, then McCarty then sent in Bill Weber, pinch-hitter, and he made a fast hit between short and third, scoring Smee. Neither team scored again until the last half of the eighth innning when Poirier brought inenson and the winning on a fast hitInst the first base line.
Poirier was easily the star of the Jayhawker nine by fanning fourteen of the Normal players besides bringing in the two winning scores on his hit inside first base line. Williams, Normal second baseman. The game would probably have been closer if Coach Hargiss had not put Rehm in as pitcher in place of Cooper in the half half of the eighth inning.

NOTICE
Many are ready and anxious to render service of some sort in connection with the war. For such the following information is given.
To Men of the University :
Opportunities in the several army departments.
1. Enlistment in Company M or other National Guard Unit. Infantry, medical and engineer branches now open. Cavalry and field artillery later.
Opportunities in the several army departments:
2. Enlistment direct for active service in the Regular Army, in any branch. Many men are wanted for the Signal, (including aviation), Quartermaster, and Ordnance sections.
3. Enlistment for the Enlisted Reserve Corps in these same non-combat sections, and also in Engineer and Medical Corps.
4. Examination for commission in the Officers Reserve Corps, open to men soon to graduate who have had military training.
5. Examination for commission as provisional Second Lieutenant in the Regular Army.
1. Under civil service commission regulations, positions as mechanic in ship yards and arsenals. Many men wanted.
- Clerk's and other positions with military units.
2. Clerks and other positions will immediately move.
3. Positions which may be secured later with munition plants.
For many of these positions, especially those with the Quartermaster Department and in arsenals, a course for mechanics which is being arranged will be necessary unless one has worked some time in a trade. All interested should apply at once for information and enroll in the class.
A second form of instruction to be given is for the benefit of those whose ambition it is to secure an officers' commission. Such men have three lines of procedure open to them. One is by enlistment in Company M and then studying to take examination. Perhaps this is the shortest way, and it is well known that state officials look to this company for officers for new units to be formed under the National Guard system. When the second call comes for men, under universal regulation or as volunteers, officers for that large group will be drawn largely from the enlisted force of regular army and guard. The other two ways are noted in nos. 4 and 5 above.
The work laid out is as follows:
4. Drill, in voluntary units outside of Company M for all who wish it
On the University faculty are a half dozen or more men who have
been officers or seen active service, and who will serve as drill
masters.
2. Class work in Field Service Regulations, Records, Reports, and Manual of Court-Martial, by Capt. Jones while he remains in Lawrence.
3. Class work in Drill Regulations, Organizations, and Military Science by P. F. Walker.
4. Class work in Military Engineering by W. C. McNown.
4. Class work in Military Engineering
5. Class work in Military Topography and Mapping by C. C. Williams
6. Class work in Telephony and in Telephony G. C. Shaas
6. Class work in Electrical Engineering
7. Class work in use and handling of explosives by R. L. Grider.
At the start these classes will be open only to seniors and juniors and to members of Co. M and other National Guard Units. All may take the drill. This is not an official officers' school and no one should get any foolish notions about its leading direct to a commission. It will serve the purpose of assisting men to pass examinations, however.
examinations, however. All who are interested should call at my office and enroll before the first meeting for drill which is set for Wednesday evening at 7:15 in Robinson Gymnasium.

Spring practices for the quintet next year have already begun under the charge of Coach Dutch Uhrlaub. The practices are held twice a week on Monday and Wednesday nights in Robinson Gymnastium, and said he wanted every Varsity candidate who is not engaged in other sports to report for the practices.

SPORT BEAMS
K. U. will continue to play her scheduled games according to Manager W. O. Hamilton as long as enough athletes remain in the University to make up the different teams. Up to the present only two of the well known Jayhawker athletes have enlisted in the army. Jick Fast famous halfback on the football team, and McLheenny, a strong candidate for the baseball nine are the only ones to enlist so far.
The Umpire of the Kaysee Star gives the logical reasons why the Kansas City high school athletes should compete in the high school meet to be held here, no matter how many athletes of Loomis and Lander ability compete. Competition is the life of athletics and Kansas City usually gets her share of the honors. It would be a poor meet in which the best high school athletes did not compete.
The Jayhawker baseball nine won their first game of the season Thursday afternoon from the Kansas Normal nine by a 3 to 1 score. The game was exciting from start to finish. Many of the spectators said it was one of the best opening games they had ever seen.

Adrian Lindsey, who usually puts the ball over the south fence, had some exceptionally hard luck in the game Thursday afternoon. He was forced to tackle two free pins and hit bit one, and made one sacrifice hit.
HOTEL KUPPER
Stephenson, who replaced Bocook at center field in the sixth inning, showed up exceptionally. He hit one out and made one hit, one run, one put-out, and no errors.
One of the spectators who was watching the practice on McCook Field yesterday afternoon asked if Lindsey had knocked the eye (1) out of the alphabet which has various sections: the bleachers, the man's letter is on the south side of the bleachers where Lindsey puts most of his drives.
Let us figure on that next banquet.
Besides having a slugging nine, the Jayhawks also have an exceptionally good pitching staff—composed of Red Craig, Captain Smce, Constant Poirier, all "K" men on last year's nine, besides two or three promising candidates from this year's squad. The first trio, however, will

Potay Clark has applied to take the examination for a commission as captain in the infantry. He expects to enter active service in case of war. If Potya is as good a soldier as he is a coach and athlete he will have little trouble in piercing the German lines. Strategy is Potya's hobby.
