BASEBALL PRACTICE IN WIND AND RAIN
Must Play In Bad Weather In Order to Be Ready for First Game
TEAM OF HARD HITTERS
EVERYBODY HITS BALL
Batting Ability of Nine Promises to be Best Part of Team
The regular Varsity baseball practice on McCook Field yesterday afternoon was shortened considerably because of the cold wind and rain. The players started out to practice in the usual way but when Coach McCarty began to feel the cold through his overcoat he ordered the men to take one lap around the field, and go to the dressing room.
Although the practice was short all of the candidates had plenty of time to warm up as the practice consisted of fast field work and batting. The squad is playing much better ball than in the first outside practices, and one of the old Jayhawker sport followers said the squad had more sluggers on it this year than at any time since he has been at the University. He also said the field work looked good to him.
Frank McFarland, one of the strong candidates for the catching position who has not been out for the practices for a day or two because of being hit on the field during the practice ball, was out for the practice yesterday afternoon. His finger is much better although it is not entirely well. Walter Smith, another strong candidate for the receiving position, was hit on a knuckle with the ball in the practice Saturday morning and not out for the practice yesterday.
**WARNER**
The battalion ability of the squad is probably the most noticeable feature of the practices. Some one is continually knocking the ball over the high fence in front of the south seats, and occasionally the ball goes clear over the top of the seats. Adrian Lindsey is probably the most consistent hitter, an olddlem fails to get a hard drive, Captain Smee Chase Taylor, Gibbon, John Cook, and Gibbon also are up in the first rank of the hitters. Several of the other candidates are also showing a good slugging ability.
FIRST TAME AGAME
The first game of the game will be played on McCook Field, a week from Wednesday, when they meet the Kansas Normal nine from Emporia. The Normals have an exceptionally good team this year and the Jayhawkers will probably have to play a hard game will have to play watching the Jayhawker squad workout believe that Kansas will take the game.
FROSH PRACTICE IN SPITE OF COLD WIND
Out
Despite the cold weather yesterday afternoon Pocty Stork put his freshman baseball squad through a hard workout and then ended the practice with a three innning game between nine picks taken from members of the squad.
Seven new candidates came out yesterday to make the freshman nine this year. Several different combination teams have been tried out the last two practices in an effort to find the best positions for the many candidates. Sixty candidates were expected to be out for practice by the end of the week.
The regular squad from which the team will be picked will be chosen in ten days. Freshmen who intend to come out for the team this year should report at the practices on Hamilton Field as soon as possible.
Hamilton Field has been rolled and it is in good condition for practice. One or more practice games are held every afternoon, and several of the freshmen have been showing a good batting ability. Roy Farrell, a candidate for first baseman position, in the practice game yesterday afternoon. The squad is playing good ball for so early in the season.
The new candidates who came out for their first practice yesterday afternoon are: Edward Crawford, bacon; Bronze Jackson, first base; Charles Slawson, pitcher; Harry Fitzsimmons and Ernest Ryan, second base; Lawrence Gray, short stop; and Henry Cherry, third base.

COACHES HOLD SPRING BASKETBALL PRACTICE
Hamilton and Clark Inaugurate New System for Teaching Rudiments of Game
The first spring basketball practice that was ever held at the University, was held last night in the Robinson Gymnasium from seven until eight-thirty o'clock, for the Varsity candidates for the quintet next year.
The practice will be in charge of Coach Juhlius Uhrlaub, and will be held on Monday and Wednesday nights at seven o'clock. The purpose of the spring practices is to meet some fundamental rudiments of basketball and also to get the players from this year's freshman team used to playing with the old Varsity players and their style of play. This would greatly improve the playing ability of the team, as the regular practice began next fall.
Seven candidates for the Varsity quintet were out to the first practice last night and all of them have expressed their intentions of coming out regularly if a few more players will come out to make the practice more interesting. Coach Uhrlaub said if ten or fifteen players would come out for practice that he would hold them oftener.
Both Coaches W. O. Hamilton and Potty Clerk favor spring practice. They believe the practice will do a great deal to developing the necessary team work before the regular fall work begins and will thus give the Jayhawkers a considerable advantage over teams in previous years.
The Jayhawker candidates for the quintet next year who were out to be practice last night were: Rudolf Jhrlaub, Scrubby Laisslett, Frank Mandeville, Howard Ritchey, Ralph Lupfer, and L. Barter.

The Jayhawker baseball squad will lose one of its strongest candidates for shortstop if the Kansas National Guard is called out. Mellhennay said going to be called out any time. He is fast on the field and a good hitter.
Varsity candidates had some cold showers yesterday after the short practice. This fact can be vouched for by any one who was within a radius of a block or so of the new athletic building at the east end of Hamilton Field, and who had reasonably good tympanic membranes.

We are getting tired of this scientific cooking—the sophisticated intricacies of the cuisine are beginning to pall on the plain man. With the return of spring his fancy turns to ancient simplicity like this:
I pray that none may bake For me the angel cake, Wishful to make less light My appetite.
The simple loaf for me Under the greenwood tree, Loafing at your fair feet, My Circe sweet.
Beside the bonnie brook
I need no Gallic cook;
Quilty let me cram
Plain bread and jam.
And as the waters fleet
Flashing with silver feet,
Give me a slice of ham
The "ham" bread
