SEVEN NEW MEN REPORT
Kansas Will Have Fast Team in Shape for the Normal Game
The diamond on McCook Field has been put into first class shape and the baseball candidates for this year's nine held a fast practice on it yesterday afternoon from two until five o'clock. The grass has been skinned off for about ten feet on both sides of the baselines, and the small holes filled in with dirt and then rolled down with the big roller.
For the practice yesterday afternoon, the bases were staked down as in a regular game, and the various candidates were worked out at the different positions. Seven new candidates reported for practice so that the squad has now reached a total of thirty-seven candidates. Two or three of the new candidates showed some exceptional baseball ability and will offer keen competition for places on the nine.
WIND HINDERS FAST PRACTICE The strong south wind made the practice disagreeable and held down the batting record. But with advantages, Lindsay, Smee, Taylor, Chase, Craig and a few others drove the ball over the south fence. Coach McCarty has been working the players hard at batting and if present indications count for anything, the Jayhawker nine is going to be one of the hardest hitting teams that has represented K. U. for several years.
During the last part of the practice, the coach worked out two different sets of players on the infield positions. The first set to take the field were Chase, first base; Lindsey, second base; Bruce Baker, third base; McIlhenny, short stop, and McFarland, catcher.
After these players had worked out for about fifteen or twenty minutes, a second set of players took the field. On this infield, Weber played first base; Schoenfeldt, second base; Taylor, third base; Gibbens, short stop; and Smith, catcher. Both infields played well, although the first set probably moved the ball around faster.
FIRST GAME APRIL 5
FIRST GAME APRIL 5
The first game of the season is less than two weeks away and will be played on McCook Field with the Kansas Normals April 5. Dope from the Normal school indicates that the Kansas Normals will have a faster nine this year than for several seasons, and from present indications the Jayhawkers will have a better nine than last year so that the opening game will be hotly contested.
The coach is anxious to get in all the practice possible before the opening game and will hold a practice on McCook, tomorrow afternoon from two until four. The new club was out for the team yesterday afternoon were: Schoolfield, Bocock, Crowder, Keeler, Drake, Flintom, and Yoekum.
TRACK TEAM STARTS
PRACTICE ON M'COOK
Track Is Being Put in Shape and Outdoor Work Will be Pushed
The track team went to McCook Field for the first outdoor practice of the season Wednesday afternoon. More spirit was shown than is usual so early in the season. Most of the apparatus was hauled down to the field and from now on the sheds will be used by the track men.
Only a light workout was taken, since the track is in bad shape and the men unused to outdoor work. Not much delay will be caused on account of the track, however, as the workmen began rolling and dragging the ball once will be put in good shape at once. A new carb may be put in later.
Several new men were out for practice. Gratzmacher was doing the broad jump and Ziegler and Vernson were working with the discus and javelin. The javelin throw will be a new event in Missouri Valley athletics this year. Ziegler won the discus throw in the interclass meet last fall by a throw of 116 feet 6 inches. Only a little longer than two feet under KU. Record. Some new broad jumpers also are expected to appear. Johnson, a senior and Brooker, a sophomore, made good marks in the interclass meet last fall.
The coaches are planning to spend most of their time in developing a two-mile relay team. They have several men who can do the half around two minutes, and the coaches think practice should put them in shape to compete with any university team in the Middle West.
One of the features of the two-mile event will be the appearance of O'Leary in the half mile. O'Leary has never run this race in competition, but according to Captain Rodkey he has the speed and the endurance that should make him one of the fastest half milers in the valley.

the ball over the fence against the strong wind in practice yesterday afternoon on McCook, is only one of the many indications that the team is going to be a hard-hitting bunch of sluggers. With a little more practice it is difficult to imagine where they will knock the ball.
EF some folks changed their own temp'rements they'd be better satisfied with those of their neighbors'.

Any freshman in the University who has ever seen a baseball is eligible for the freshman team and should report to Potsy Clark at Himmelman on Friday afternoon. The training that a candidate for the team will receive from Potsy should be well worth the while of any freshman athlete. Besides an envy, they will give a candidate a much better chance to make a place on the team.
