KANSAS STARS TAKE
FIRSTS IN M.A.C. MEET
Treweeke and Pattinson Have Little Opposition in High Jump and Pole Vault
Treweake and Pattinson, the two Kansas track stars who went to St. Louis for the Missouri Athletic Club himself, will first place-hone in their events.
Trewoke had little opposition for first place in the high jump, winning with a leap of 5 feet $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches. This was two inches short of the mark made at the Illinois meet last week when he tied with Fisher of Chicago, Simmons of Michigan, and Webster of Illinois at 6 feet $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches. A Missouri jumper took second place in this event.
Rattinson won first place in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 11 feet 6 inches. The other men placing in the event were from the Big Nine schools. But Rattinson could have made a better mark had he been pushed by fast competition.
Fast time was made in most of the running events. The Missouri relay team won the overall relay against another team, 0.01%. This average of 52% seconds per quarter
George Coffin, a K. U. freshman, running under Kansas City Athletic Club colors, was one of the four men on team which won the two-mile relay.
SPORT BEAMS
Four more days of inside baseball practice and the battery squad will be called out on McCook Field for their first outdoor warm-up. For the team will be called and some real practice games will be played.
Another sure sign that the baseball season is almost here is the fact that enthusiastic players are hunting up suitable bats for the season. At a sporting store on Massachusetts street they enter at least one baseball men tried out the stock of bats to find a favorite in as many minutes.
The big sport event this week is the basketball tournament for Kansas high schools. The tournaments have been getting larger every year, and Manager Hamilton is expecting a record-breaking attendance this year.
California Wants Zuppke
The favorite spring sport is "hiking." Yesterday afternoon the roads leading to the favorite hiking places around Lawrence were dotted with hikers who were taking advantage of the spring weather.
California Wants Zuppke It has been reported that Graduate Manager Stroud of the University of Chicago has instructed the East with instructions to secure a new football coach, preferably Zuppke of Illinois. The rumor has created no conspiracy at the Champaign institution, as Zuppke is under a contract which has several years left before he is satisfied with his present position. The California college is willing to pay $8,000 a year for a coach—Indiana Daily Student.

ORGANIZE ALUMNI FOR AID
TO FOREIGN GREEDMEN
TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
A plan to aid the federal government, by collecting information concerning the special service qualifications of their alumni, has been adopted by Columbia University and Massachusetts Technical School. The plan is for each school to collect information, for use by the federal government, during the way earn alumnus can best serve his entity in case of war.
Each alumnus is asked what he is best fitted to do and what service he would be willing to give his country. In this way a large amount of valuable information, unavailable by the federal government, can be collected. "This method of data collection will be carried on for the last two years by the five leading engineering societies of America," said Prof. W. A. Whitaker this morning.
AGGIES WIN MISSOURI
VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP
Tigers and Cyclones Get Second and Third While Jayhawker Lands at Fourth
The Missouri Valley Conference basketball season closed Saturday night with a clash between Ames and Nebraska at Lincoln, Neb. The Cyclones won one of the two game series and thus forced the Jayhawker quintet to fourth place in the Valley race.
The Tigers cinched second place in the Valley race Friday night when they took the second victory of a two-game series over the Washington U. five at St. Louis.
The Aggies are the Missouri Valley Conference champions this year, and the all-Missouri Valley five as selected by Coach Z. G. Clevenger of the Aggie quintet gives four places of the five to Aggie goal-tossers. The other place was given to Capt. Fred Williams, star center on the Tiger five. The Aggies who won the Tiger five were UV-Liv team by their coach were: Reynolds and Vantrine, forwards, and Wells and Captain McMillan, guards.
Rudolph Uhrlaub, probably one of the most consistent players in the Valley and a high scorer, was given a place on the second Valley five by the Aggie coach. Scrubby Laslett, star Jayhawk winger, considered by the coaches worthy of a place at least on the second five, was not mentioned. The other four players on Coach Clevenger's second Valley five are: Erskine, Ames, forward; Fullington, Kansas Aggies, center; Slusher, Missouri, guard; and Boyton, Amos, guard. The final standing of the Missouri Valley team is...

PLAN TO VISIT "ROCKIES"
University Would Give Credit for Summer Work In Colorado
Colorado
A trip to the Rockies this summer, five weeks of outdoor study and sport, and five hours' credit constitute the course that is offered students of mineralogy or others having the required amount of credit. Eight men must take the trip in order that the course may be offered.
If the required number of men take the course, the class will start from here Monday, June 11. It is planned to spend a week in Kansas studying the various formations, and then go on through Golden, Colo., where the class will spend a week. From there the party will go to Silver Plume and Georgetown to study mining conditions. From there it is decided to travel through the mountains to Colorado Springs, Canyon City, and Leadville, where rock formations and fossil quarries will be studied.
The five weeks' trip will cost each student approximately one hundred dollars, according to Professor Haynes, who will connect the trip. Many of the students have sig- med their intention of taking the trip.
Professor Haynes is familiar with the territory over which the trip will be conducted, as he made two trips to teaching in Harvard summer school.
FINAL INDOOR CLASH AT K. C. FRIDAY NIGHT
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The track team today began its final week of practice for the Kansas-Missouri indoor meet to be held at Convention Hall in Kansas City Friday night. This meet is the last and most important event of the indoor season, and Coach W. O. Hamilton, from Kansas City, years, is expecting a victory over the Tigers when the two teams clash March 16.
Kansas Enters Meet Against Missouri With One of Best Teams in Years
the meet Friday night will be the fourteenth annual indoor meet between the two schools. Of the thirteen meets held in the past, Missouri has won twelve and Kansas one. Kansas' lone victory came in 1913, when she won by a score of 43 to 42. The meets in the last few years have been remarkably close and have usually been decided by the relay.
Though both teams contain stars, neither can be said to be well balanced. In Simpson, Missouri has the greatest hurdler of the age, as well as one of the all-ball-room men the Missouri Valley has ever seen. On the Kansas team are such men as Rodkey, Treweke, and Randolph, the star in his event. But stars do not necessarily make a balanced squad, and each team finds itself weak in the vory department where the other is strong.
Missouri is strong in the hurdles und the fifty-yard dash, while for Kansas these are the weakest events. Kansas, with a good string of distance men, is expecting to pick up most of the points in these events. Kansas is strong in the high jump and the pole vault, while Missouri has no one to depend upon for points in these events.
Missouri rooters believe the meet will be decided again by the relay, and believe that their team which defeated Michigan Saturday night will be strong enough to take the measure of the Jayhawkers, who finished behind
Michigan in the Illinois meet. Kansas rooters, while not conceding Missouri the relay, believe Kansas will have to win the meet before the relay starts.
