KANSAS HAS CHANCE AT VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP
Baseball Squad in Better Shape Than This Time Last Year,
Battery men are showing up lots better than at this time last year according to Captain George Snee, who says he believes Kansas will have a much better team than last year when it tied with the Tigers for the Missouri Valley Conference championship.
The squad has increased to a tota of eighteen candidates and more new battery们 are coming out every day. A few intend to wait until the squad starts practice on McCook Field before beginning to train, but the coach desires every one who intends to try out for either of the battery positions on the Varsity nine to commence practice now.
The squand this year is larger than the squand last year but Captain Smee would like to have it doubled in size before out-of-door practice begins. He said that every battery man would be used in outside practice, as the pitchers soon wear out when they first start real pitching out-of-doors.
Lefty Sproull, a K man on the Jayhawker nine in '14 and '15, was a feature of the practice yesterday afternoon. Although Lefty has his degree and cannot play on the team, he comes out for practice.
Ivan Allen, a new candidate for the catching position, was the other half of the Sproull battery and showed considerable ability. Coach McCarty also worked out with Sproull, and exhibited an amazing amount of speed.
SPORT BEAMS
The Kansas Aggies jumped into first place in the Valley basketball race in the defense of defending the Tiger at the Rochester Gymnastics at Columbia 26 to 23.
The Aggies are within one game of the Valley championship now and if they should take the game from the Tigers again tonight they would be undisputed champions of the Valley this year.
The game tonight is the last game on the Aggies's schedule while the Tigers have two more games to play with the Washington U. five at St. Louis, Friday and Saturday. If the Aggies should drop the game tonight to the Tigers, the Tigers could with the Valley championship by taking two games from the Washington U. five. The Tigers play fourteen games while the Aggies will only play twelve.
The Jayhawker quintet still ranks fourth in the Missouri Valley race, and their standing on the championship ladder will depend on the Nebraska five in the games with the Ames five, Friday and Saturday.
The standing of the Missouri Valley Conference teams at present is:

Captain George Smee says that one of the biggest assets to the Jayhawkprospects for winning the baseball championship this year is the spirit which the battery men are showing in the practices in Robinson Gymnasium every afternoon. Every one is full of vim and go.
Potsy Clark is becoming so popular with the Jayhawker fans that Alie Carroll, a well known Jayhawker fan, has started to serve "Potsy Clark Specials" as recognition of Potsy's popularity among the sport followers.
The last treat of the season to basketball fans will be the Tenth Annual Interscholastic Basketball Tournament for Kansas High Schools, which will be held in the gymnasium Gymnasium, Marcel from the tournament will be larger and faster than any previous one.
Swimming is the principal sport for the Jayhawker women athletes at
present. Class teams are being organized in preparation for the big splash which will take place about the first week in April.
Halleck Craig, one of the main stays of the pitching staff, is getting in good condition and says he is anxious for spring practice to open up.
"Things look bright for us in the K. U.-Missouri meet at Kansas City March 16," says Manager Hamilton. "The boys made an excellent showing at Urbana Saturday, and those who are out here are men are working out fine, and if nothing unlocked for happens, we will show the crowd some real class."
It is probable only two, or three track men will be sent to the meet of the Missouri Athletic Club, St. Louis, March 10.
The Daily Illini was impressed by the Jayhawker track team in the Illinois meet: "Potsy Clark brought a gang of real tractor men from Kansas, Treweeke won the broad jump and the pole vault, and third in the pole vault and the Kansas relay teams took third in both the two and mile relays."
Over 4,000 people were in the Illinois armory to see the first annual Illinois Relay Carnival Saturday.
The Normals thought they would have an easy time winning from the men who ran the relay in the K. C. A. C meet because so many of the regular relay men were at the Urbana meet. They were treated to an unpleasant surprise for the Jayhawkers beat them.
TEAM RETURNS WITH PRIZES
Track Men Bring Back Medals From Big Nine Meet at Urbana
The University track men who made the trip to Urbana for the Illinois Relay Carnival are highly pleased with the prizes given the winners in the meet. We watch for three place in the broad jump. The watch, a thin open face model with a plain case bears the inscription, "Illinois Relay Carnival, Broad Jump." In the high jump Trepéewe received a silver medal. The event matched for the watch and Fischer of Chicago won it.
Pattinson who tied for third place in the pole vault lost out on the prizes when the athletes matched for the medal.
Sproull and Rodkey each pulled down two bronze medals, while Welsh, O'Leary, Stateler and Murphy received one each. The medals were among the most attractive won by Kansas track men.
PROF. WHITAKER ADDRESSES UNIVERSITY COMMERCE CLUJ
Prof. W. A. Whitaker of the department of chemistry will give an illustrated talk on "The Iron and Steel Industry" before the University Commerce Club at its monthly meeting at the Delta TauDelta house tonight.
Professor Whitaker has made both intensive and extensive studies in the field of the iron and steel industry and his talk will undoubtedly be of exceptional interest to every member of the club," said Albert Irwin, president of the Commerce Club, this morning.
The Des Moines News decided that it might worry along without Paul Brindleil for ten days. If the Iowa state senate had not voted a request for that length of time, maybe Brindleil couldn't have had a vacation. For no reason is reporting that he was only for the News but also for the United Press. So Brindleil came to Lawrence and Kansas City to visit relatives and friends.

More Girls' Teams Than Boys' Enter Tenth Interscholastic
Basketball Tournament
Entries for the Tenth Interscholastic Basketball Tournament of Kansas, to be held in Robinson Gymnastics, March 16-17, are being received by manager W. O. Hamilton, daily. because the last day entries may be made.
The tournament has been growing in attendance each year and Mr. Hamilton believes that this year will be a record breaker. Last year fifty-four teams competed, representing one-third of the high schools in the state.
That girls teams over the state are becoming more interested in basketball each year is shown by the increase in entries. Up to date, three times as many girls teams as boys have been entered.
The tournament has grown so large that the committee cannot guarantee entertainment. However, every effort will be made to secure as many participants as possible. In previous years the committee was handicapped because coaches and managers objected to having their teams separated and lodged in different parts of campus; this year the team managers will make their own arrangements.
