POTSY CLARK PLANS TO COACH FROSH BASEBALL
Will Start Practice With Large Squad About April
20th
Poty Clark, popular among Jayhawker fans, as a football, basketball, and track coach will be officiate coach according to Marr. W. O. Hamilton.
Potsy is an all-around athlete. He is considered by Illinois fans as Illinois' greatest athlete. Besides being a star in football, basketball, and track, he played two championship seasons on the Illinois nine. His regular positions on the nine were at shortent and left field.
With this training in baseball, Potty should develop one of the best freshman men in years. A large number of the freshmen put down baseball on their enrollment cards as one of the sports teams in high school, and Potty believes that a large squad will be out to make the team this year.
The first spring practice will be about March 20, according to Potsy. Coach McCarty said he thought the Varsity squad would start the outside practices about March 16 or 17, the dates for the Interscolastic Basketball Tournament for Kansas high schools.
The freshman squad will probably practice on Hamilton Field, according to the coach, and will clash with McCarly calls for competition.
The Varsity battery squad held its regular practice in the Gymnasium yesterday afternoon and the candidates showed good performance practices, Capt. George Smee, Halleck Craig, and Constant Poirier, K men on the pitching staff last year, are getting limbered up and showing a lot of speed, while a great team is also showing up exceptionally well for his early in the training season.
The training season is not far enough advanced to pick out any stars on the battery or the team, but some especially good players out to make the team.
The track meet and the gymnastic meet will not interfere with the practices of the battery squad, according to Coach McCarty, and candidates will practice at the regular time every afternoon.
SPORT BEAMS
One of the surprises of the K. C.
A. C. meet was the defeat of Simpson in the 50-yard dash by Scholz of bigger school. Simpson finished third.
Atwood showed that he is a coming pole vaulter when he tied with the Normal vaulter at 11 feet 3 inches in the Kansas City meet.
The time made by Gableman of Missouri in the mile Saturday was remarkable. He made the distance in 4.30-4.5, which beats the best time made by a K. U. runner. 4.31-1.5. Ground to him, Grouper tends to him. Spoell seems to have a worthy rival in the Tiger school.
There seems to be little doubt that the Kansas-Missouri meet March 16 this year will again be one of those neck and neck affairs, with the relay race to decide. One advantage which K. U. will have this winter is that they will be stronger in the dashes and hurdles, while the Missourians do not appear to have much of a chance in the field events. Kansas will be strong again in the distance events.
The Missouri Valley Conference basketball season closes Saturday night, and then baseball will hold the end of the stage among the Valley schools.
A real sign that the baseball season will soon be here is the fact that the stewards of the various boarding clubs who wish to enter the Kansas City summered to meet at the Kansas office at fourth thirty o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
While speaking of the K. C. A. C. meet at Kansas City Saturday, the Umpire of the Kaysee Star says: "The absence of the main body of point scorers of the University of Kansas, athletes who were good enough to shine in the Illinois meet at Urbana the same night, put a further damper on the meet. The University of Illinois has given him a place at Urbana, so K. U. was under obligations to Illinois to some extent, according to the explanation of a Kansas man at the meet. That's the reason, or one of them, the Jayhawner stars went to Urbana, the Kansas man said."
Snow storms and cold weather caused the canceling of thirty-three engagements by speakers sent out by the lecture department of the University of Wisconsin Extension division last month. Snow blockades on railroads and fuel famines were the chief difficulties. More than 210 engagements were filled last month in spite of the weather—Ex.
MINING FRAT INITIATES
PLEGES IN NATURAL CAVE
What place would be more ideal for the installation of a mining fraternity than a large natural cave? This was the place selected by members of the Pick and Hammer Club of the University of Nebraska for the initiation of their forty members into the Sigma Gamma Epsilon, mining, geology, and metallurgy fraternity. Ted Crum and George Sammons, founders of the fraternity and members of the department of geography, University of Nebraska, installed the University at Nebraska last week. Prominent members of the Pick and Hammer Club were Doctor Barbour, Nebraska state geologist and paleontologist, and Professor Schramn of the Nebraska faculty.
Sigma Gamma Epsilon was organized at the University of Kansas in the spring of 1915. There are four chapters in the university, including the first to be organized. Professor Twenhotel is the grand president and Ted Crum is grand
Professor Twenhoft is the grand
patient and Ted Crum is grand
secretary.
Football at Iowa
"Football is the only sport at the University which is paying for itself," said B. J. Lambert, chairman of the athletic board, "and the profits for this game during the past season amounted to approximately $7,500."
The football receipts for the past year total $24,234. This item includes $2 on each of the 2,050 season athletic tickets, or 50 cents for each of the games on the home field. Last year the minor sports, including wrestling, track, baseball, basketball, and swimming, lost approximately $5,500 for the Iowa athletic association. With the present year's deficit in these sports, there is a possibility that the football profits may permit a gain of $2,000 in athletics for the academic year 1916-1917—Daily Iowan.
Whoops, My Dear!!
In preparation for the annual concert March 2, approximately $4000 worth of new and especially designed instruments have been purchased for the University bands. Only the more rare instruments, which incoming students would not be likely to own, are listed among the new purchases.
Each instrument has been made especially for the Illinois bands, under the special supervision of Director A. Harding--Daily Illini.
Preparedness
Not only will the Medical Department at the University of Tennessee train men for the regular medical service, but will train them for the army service. They will be trained to take their place in the regular service as army and navy surgeons and physicians. This is compulsory for all the fourth-year medical students. An army health officer will direct the study, which will cover a period of four months—Ex.

By Defeating Missouri 32 to 27 Farmers Capture Valley Basketball Flag
AGGIES WIN CHAMPIONSHIP
The Kansas Aggies won the Missouri Valley Conference basketball championship last night when they took a fast clash from the Tiger five in Rothwell Gymnasium at Columbia, by a score of 32 to 27.
Basketball Flag
The Tigers started the clash in championship form and piled up a big lead in the first few minutes of play. At the end of the first half the Tigers led by a 20 to 13 score. The Aggies came back strong in the last half however, and the team played through Stray shots from the fledgued goals to the Clevereng team which rapidly increased their end of the score.
Reynolds and Vantrine, Aggie forwards, starred for their team. Vantrine caged five field baskets, while Reynolds bagged three field baskets and eight ones out of a possible nine. The Aggie guards also played a good game and completely baffled the Tiger forwards in the last half
by breaking up almost every pass that came within the Aggie danger zone. The Tiger haskets went in over the long-distance route.
Capt. Fred Williams, Tiger right forward, starred for his team by cagging four field goals and nine free throws out of a possible nine. Campbell, left forward, was the next highest point-getter with three field baskets, while Shepard, center, was next with two field goals.
The game last night closed the basketball season for the Aggies, but the Tigers have two more games—with Washington University at St. Louis Friday and Saturday. The Tigers will take second place in the Valley championship if they take the two games at St. Louis.

Wireless telegraphy was used to report the recent Wisconsin-Ohio State basketball game, played in Madison. The account was sent to Columbus, O. play by play, as written by a Daily Cardinal reporter, and the complete story was received five minutes after the game ended.
Both universities have sufficient wireless equipments, and the success of the trial was such that radio reports are to be used for other games with universities which have suitable apparatus. The use of wireless does away with holding up a report waiting for a clear wire—Ex.
