BASEBALL SQUAD TO START OUTDOOR WORK
Coach McCarty Will Take Team To McCook Field for Practice Next Friday
The baseball squad will be out on McCook Field for spring practice by the last of this week, providing the weather is warm and it doesn't rain, according to plans of Coach Leon McCarty. The coach also will be out Friday afternoon, on account of the Basketball tournament which starts on Friday.
As soon as the battery candidates are called to McCook Field for the first practice, candidates for other positions on the team will be given a day to begin in campest. The warm weather, the few last days, has brought out a large number of prospective Varsity candidates. From present indications there will be a large number of first class candidates who will make the other positions on the team.
The battery squad may be strengthened as some very promising pitchers have expressed their intentions of starting practice when the squad was called outdoors. Captain Smee expects the battery squad to increase at least ten or fifteen players. He asks every man in the University who plays football and who are eligible for the Varsity to come out for the team.
More men are out already this year than last year, but there is still plenty of room for more candidates according to the captain. The opening game on the Jayhawk server is only three weeks away and the coach will have to develop a Jayhawk九ine before that time. But if the spirit which the candidates are putting into the practices is any indication of a winning team, K. U. should have one of the best teams in years.
SPORT BEAMS
The tenth annual basketball tournament for Kansas high schools which will be held in the Robinson Gymnasium, Friday and Saturday, will be the largest in the history of the high school basketball players from every part of the state will compete for championship honors in the tournament.
There will be two separate tournaments, one for the boys and one for the girls. Men will not be admitted to the girl's games'.
The high schools over the state are taking more interest in the tournaments every year according to Manager W. O. Hamilton. In the first year that it will take two days of constant playing to decide the championship of the state.
A large per cent of K. U.'s future athletes will be drawn from the athletes who compete in the games here Friday and Saturday, and Manager Hamilton will be students of the university to entertain the visitors as much as possible.
A great many of the high school students who compete in the tournament will graduate from the high schools this spring and the welcome which they receive while at the tournament will decide to a great extent their choice of a University to attend next fall. Every student in the University should help make the tournament a success.
Brudef Uhrhlau, star left forward on the Jayhawker quintet, scored a total of 131 points in the Missouri Valley Conference games. Only two other players in the Valley Conference had a large number of points. Captain Fred Williams, star of the Tiger five and a member of the all-Missouri twelve, scored a total of two hundred points while Reynolds, the flower of the Aggie team, connected with the basket for a total of 168.
The two K. U. track men and Coach W. O. Hamilton, who made the trip to the meet at St. Louis, had an entire sleeper to themselves returning from the Missouri city Saturday night. Part of a theatrical company which was to appear in Kansas City, Sunday was supposed to share the car with the Jayhawkers but did not use the car for some reason.

TIGER ROOTERS WILL COME TO K. C.MEET ON SPECIAL
An excursion will be run by the Wabash Railroad March 16 to Kansas City for the annual Missouri-Kansas track meet. The only condition made by the railroad company is that 250 vehicles had sold, so $4.50 was secured by the committee which is looking after the details. A mass meeting will be called some time during the week to submit the plans to the student body and see how many will go. The present plans are to raise awareness of the importance of and a large crowd of rooters. Director Brewer will have several sections in Convention Hall reserved for the Missouri rooters and will sell these tickets to them before they leave Columbia. This will keep the Missouri contingency at its opportunity to concentrate its cheering—The Daily Missourian.

NEW EPIDEMIC APPEARS ON CAMPUS "Shiner" Has Peculiarities.
The latest epidemic which has cast its baneful spell upon the campus is the black eye or in the vernacular the "shiner." No less than half a dozen cases have appeared on the hill in the last week.
The disease has many peculiarities. It is automatically quarantined. The quarantine plarcet appears spontaneously a few hours after the disease has been contracted and about in the regular way. Instead of catching it from the eye of a person infected it is contracted from the fist of another who may or may not have the disease himself. Instead of producing the disease with whom the infected person associates it produces smiles and jeers.
The source of the epidemic now prevalent has been traced to the 4:30 boxing class. Boxing gloves are supported by a rest position but are not altogether adequate.
State of Paddlers to Senate
The University Senate at its next meeting, in April will decide the fate of paddlers. The committee appointed by the Senate last Tuesday and the Disciplinary committee are now considering the matter and will announce their decision at the next Senate meeting. Another committee appointed by the Senate is considering the question of eligibility rules covering student activity and will give its report at the same time.

NEW MEN APPEAR FOR INDOOR TRACK TEAM
When Kansas and Missouri meet in Convention Hall at Kansas City, next Friday night for the annual indoor meet, track followers may get a chance to see several new men competing for K. U.
Coach Hamilton Discovers Promising Material for 50 Yard Dash and Pole Vault
Lobaugh, a new man in the fifty has been entered for that event Friday night, while Noel another new man in the fifty has been doing good work. Both of these men may be taken on the trip.
In Roscoe Howard, a sophomore, Coach W. H. Hamilton last night found a new pole vaulter Atwood who won the pole vault in the K. C. A. C. meet was working on the vault at a little over ten feet when Howard stepped up and asked if he might once. To the surprise of those present, he cleared the bar during trial. He vaulted several times afterward, and each time cleared the bar at once. Howard's entrance to the management of the K. U.-M. U. meet and he will probably have a chance to enter the vault Friday night.
Other men on the regular team may be shifted about so that they will take part in other than their regular events. Trewecke may be given a trial at the high hurdles. Crowley may run one lap in the relay.
Rice has been doing good work in the high jump. He was clearing the bar last night in practice at about five feet eleven inches. Howland who won his first race for Kansas in the Aggle meet is also going in good form.
Haddock, Grissom and Schwarz,
freshmen, and Rustenbach and Lobaugh will enter the open competition in the fifty yard dash, while Clift,
Shreve and Crowley will participate in the open quarter mile.
There is also a possibility that a special two mile relay will be run, in which two K. U. freshmen and two Missouri freshmen will run against the K. C. A. C. relay team which won at St. Louis Saturday night. George Coffin, a K. U. freshman is a member of the K. C. A. C. team.

The real everyday life of the Blackfeet Indians of Glacier National Park was pictured vividly yesterday afternoon in the travel pictures shown and explained by Lawrence Kittchell in Fraser Chapel. One part of the program was a representation of an ordinary day in the life of the Indians and was planned by the Indians themselves.
BLACKFEET INDIAN PICTURES
SHOWN IN FRASER YESTERDAY
Some pictures of the natural scenery of the Park were also shown. Those of iceburg lake were especially interesting. Some of the dangers of travel over the ice were illustrated in this film. Some colored slides of Glacier park were shown at different times through the pictures. Two animated cartoons helped to make the exhibition interesting.
Women Gain Recognition
Due to the lack of male registration because of international complications the University of Moscow is for the first time in its history opening its gates to women students. Until the present time, women have been barred from the higher institutions of learning in Russia, and the precedent established by the University of Moscow, which is the largest and oldest institute in the world, probably leads to the adoption of this scheme by other universities of the empire—Michigan Daily.
