MISSOURI WON RELAY AND DUAL TRACK MEET
Fourteenth Annual Classic in Convention Hall Went to Tigers, 46 to 39
O'LEARY WON 440-DASH
The Jayhawkers lost the relay and the annual indoor track meet to the Tigers in Convention Hall Friday night, 30 to 46. By losing both places in the shot and three points in the high jump and pole vault, by tying for second place in each event, Kansas failed to win without the relay as the Jayhawkers hoped to do. Kansas took six firsts in the eleven events.
Upsets in Shot Put, Pole Vault and High Jump Ruined Kansas' Chances
O'Leary of Kansas won first in the quarter. This is the first Kansas victory in this event since 1904. Welsh failed to run his best race and Missouri won an easy second. Missouri came back with a second in the half which should have been in Murphy's place, but in either of these with a place in the shot put would have meant victory for K. U. O'Leary ran a fine rate in the 440, taking the lead at the start and never losing it.
Pittam was doing unusual work in the high jump and the best Rice could get was a tie for second. Treewreck took first easily. In the shot put, Warren surprised himself by tossing the weight 40 feet 10 inches. Neither Casey or Small showed as well they have at other times this year. With the Tigers winning both places in the shot, the Kansas crowd soon saw that what would come to the final decision. The Tigers grunder another surprise when Sylvester tied with Atwood for second place in the pole vault. Atwood vaulted higher in the K. C. A. C meet than Friday night.
The men from Tigerville won their twenty-four points, as was expected, in the 50-yard dash and both hurdle events, although Davidson was nosed out of a place in the dash by a scant foot. Scholz, a sophomore at Missouri, beat Simpson in the dash. Kansas surpassed the Tiger rosters with three places in the mile. Sproul making the distance in 431.4 5-, tying the dual meet record. Stateler ran a pretty race and got an easy second.
The two-mile was a walkway for the Jayahawkers, neither Missouri men finishing and both being lapped by Kansas. Groene held a constant lead in this event until the last lap when Stateler, who had placed second in the mile, started a wonderful sprint which beat Groene at the finish.
Crowley, running his first relay race for Kansas against Missouri, was unable to hold his lead against Selbie, the first Tiger man. Rodney ran an excellent race against Selbie, but he gap until there was a bare yard between the two runners, when Welsh took up the race. Daggy ran an unusual race against Welsh, and the gap between the runners became wider and wider. 'O'Leary took up the race for Kansas at least ten yards behind. The handicap was too high, but effort brought within six feet of Pitman, the last Tiger restiter.

NOTES OF THE MEET
Haddock and Rustenbach won the 80-yard dash against a field of four other K. U. runners. The men then crossed the finish line, placed third in the open quarter mile.
Lobach was running in second place until the last ten yards, when he tripped over another runner and fell, losing any place in the race.
One of the strange features of the meet was the appearance of the Tiger quarter miles in long black gloves. Otherwise for them still is a mystery.
Casey was forced to leave his competition in the shot and go at once into the low hurdles.
Davidson put up a game fight in the 50-yard dash and led Simpson to two-thirds of the way, only to be nosed out at the finish.
The showing of the Missouri shot putters was a surprise even to the Tiger followers.
Gabelman entered the two mile, but the reason of his entry soon became obvious when he left the race before it was half over.
Missouri did not have even two men who could do the quarter in better than 52 seconds. O'Leary made the pass in 12.4 minutes. The Missouri runners were behind him.
The K. U. band was at the meet with some of its famed music, but the other end of the hall was conspicuous by the absence of the Missouri band.
SPORT BEAMS
There were several surprises for sport followers in the high school basketball tournament, but the biggest one was probably the defeat of the Rosedale sextet, champions last year, by the Elsmore team.
One of the best exhibitions of true sportsmanship noted here for some time was in the form of a telegram from the Waterville high school to its girls' team which was here for the tournament. The telegram read: "We, the Waterville high school, extend our best wishes to the coach and team for the coming game. We are loyal to you, victory or defeat."
Lefty Sproul has become popular also as a referee of women's basketball. In the all-star-Varsity exhibition game Saturday afternoon, several goaltenders and shortsticks gave cheers for "Lefty" whenever he made a spectacular basket.
Kansas is the home of most of the best basketball players in the country, according to Mgr. W. O. Hamilton, in a talk to the coaches of the various teams here for the tournament. He said that if the best players in the high school tournament would play together on one team they could easily win the Missouri Valley Conference championship every year.
The more athletes who come to the University each year, the higher will be the standard of Jayhawker athletics among the American universities and colleges. Each student of the University should feel his duty

Captain Meeker of the Wichita team, who was selected as captain of the all-Kansas high school team picked by the officials of the big tournament, was badly handicapped by a fractured ankle in the last two games his team played. One of the officials of the meet pronounced Meeker the most finished player of the tournament.
