JAYHAWKERS ARE READY FOR KANSAS NORMALS
Potsy's Freshman Team Give Varsity Squad Heavy Practice Games
The Jayhawker baseball squad will hold three more practices before the opening game with the strong Kansas Normal nine on McCook Field Thursday afternoon. The Kansas Normal nine is reported to be exceptionally strong this year, and the game promises to be exciting from start to finish in a much better team than last year. They tied up with the Tigers for the Missouri Valley Conference championship.
The regular Varsity nine had an eight inning practice game with the freshman nine Saturday afternoon and won by a score of 7 to 6. The freshmen played a good game and had a 6-5 score on the Varsity at the beginning of the last inning, but the varsity won for winning the game. The freshmen won the game from the Varsity Friday afternoon by a score of 6 to 5.
The Varsity team Friday did not include all of the strongest candidates for the team. The nine Saturday afternoon was made up mostly of players who probably will make a place in the national team, said, however, that on the whole the nine played the poorest style of any of the practice games this season.
Potys's freshmen played a first-class game and are getting better with every practice. Twenty freshmen were used in the game Saturday afternoon. The freshmen who started the game were: Bunn, c; Caler, p; Machamer, s; R. Isenberger, 2b; Wilson, ss; N. Isenberger, 3b; Smith, sf; Farrell, s; Theville, s; the freshmen who also played in the game were: Wilson, c; Schoepel, p; Slawson, p; Wesley, c; Gregory, b; Wenzel, s; Lonborn, 3b; Rush, cf; Hamilton, rf; Willhey rf; and Paramore, lf.
The freshman squad received its first cut Friday afternoon, when Potsy reduced the squad to twenty-eight players. These players will compete for places on this year's freshman nine. The players who were retained on this squad by the conch are: Davies, Darius, Schoolhouse, Calder, Custer, Beinner, Bredine, Slawson, Farrel, Gregory, Machamer, N. Isenberger, Wenzel, Bunn, Convis, Oyster, Hamilton, B. C. Smith, Bush, Paramec, Willhemy, Cherry, and Welch.
SPORT BEAMS
"We will now have a bean," is the way Adrian Lindsey announces the arrival of the meal hour. The high cost of living is responsible for the phrase. Just now beans are a popular diet.
McCook Field is a mighty popular place for followers of Jayhawker sports at present. Every afternoon Varsity and freshman baseball practices, outdoor track practice, tennis, and occasionally golf furnish amusement for a large number of spectators.
Seven candidates for the Varsity quintet and two Lawrence high school players who will be eligible for the
freshman five next season reported for the practice Wednesday night. The Varsity candidates were: Rudolf Uhlraub, Ernst Uhrlaub, Scrubby Laslett, Edward Stevenson, Howard Ritchie, Howard Miller, and L. Barter. Andy McDonald and George Hale were for Lawrence high.
Three more days and the Jayhawk baseball nine will open its season against the strong Kansas Normal nine on McCook Field. The squad is holding a practice game every afternoon and should be in excellent condition for the clash. If the players continue to develop their hitting ability as in the last few days, they'll be able to trouble in winning from the Normal nine, although advance dope from the Emporia school indicates the Normals will have a stronger team this year than for several seasons.

EIGHT TRACK MEN WILL GRADUATE THIS YEAR
Hamilton Wants Material to Fil
Gap Made by Those Leav-
ing In June
ing In June
"The track team is badly in need of men to take the place of those who graduate this year," said Coach W. O. Hamilton last night, "and I want every man who has ever done any track work, either in high school or college, to come out to McCook for practice."
"We lose Captain Rodkey, Sproull,
Stateleter, Howland, Davidson, Groene,
Small, and Grutzmacher by graduation,
"he continued, "and those are
completing for firsts in eight of the fifteen outdoor track events this season.
"The only thing that can keep Kansas on the map in track when these men graduate," continued Coach Hamilton, "is the spirit of the men now in school who are capable of doing track work. It takes practice to reach the efficiency these men have in training and practice necessary cannot be obtained if they or six weeks preceding the track season next year."
A few new men are working at McCook each afternoon, but many more are needed. The coaches are required to come in order to be in shape for the interclass meet which will be held the latter part of April. This meet gives the coaches an idea of what they may depend on for material next year.
