UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TRACK STARS LEAVE FOR URBANA TONIGHT Coach Hamilton Enters Eight Men in Illinois Relay Carnival K. C. A. C. MEET TOMORROW Remainder of Squad Will Participate in Convention Hall Event The Jayhawker track men to compete in the Illinois Race Car Carnival Saturday night will leave this afternoon at 3:50 o'clock for Urbana. Coaches Hamilton and Clark will take eight men to the Big Nine meet. Word was received in Lawrence last night that preliminary heats would be run in the mile relay on account of the large number of teams entered. These will be held in the afternoon. The two weeks of relay will start at the clock which will be the main mile relay will be run soon after nine o'clock the same evening. This means that some of the Kansas team will have to run three races in one day. **TEAM IS IN GOOD SHAPE** All of the men who will go to Illinois are in good condition except Treweek, who is in good condition except Doh his best work because of a bad leg which he received in practice several weeks ago. Captain Rodkey believes that the two-mile relay team has the best chance to finish among the first teams at the Urbana meet. The team has been doing the two miles in 8:24 in practice on Robinson track, and the other two miles in 8:36 in distance in less than 8:08 in the meet Saturday. Rodkey was optimistic of the final results of the meet. Besides being entered in the mile and two-mile relays, Pattinson will do the pole vault and Trewekew will compete in the high and broad jump. More than twenty men will go to the K, C, A, C, meet on the same night as the Illinois meet. Among these men are many of the star freshman track men. It is doubtful if the Kansas men who go to this meet will run in the relay because all of the regular relay men will be at Urbana. Kansas men will jump up and move in the dashes, weights, high jump, and the longer distances. Missouri will have practically their whole track team in the meet. Advance dope makes the Tiger team an aggregation of stars. Several indi- viduals will be entered from many of the other Valley and Big Nine schools. SPORT BEAMS The Jayhawk quintet scrummaged with Coach Venue's Haskell Indian goal-shooters in Robinson Gymnasium last night for the benefit of visiting teachers from the National Educational Association which was in session. The game was close from start to finish, and the Jayhawkers succeeded in piling up but a three-point margin during the entire scrimmage. The small Jayhawker margin was due in part to the fact that R. Uhrlaub and Laslett, two of the Jayhawker regulars, were not in the lineup. Gibbens and Kauder played the forward positions, Lytle at center, and Captain Nelson and Woodward at guards. The only Missouri Valley Conference basketball games this week will be played between the Aggies and Washington U. at St. Louis tonight and tomorrow night, and between Drake and Nebraska at Lincoln toorrow night. To stay in running order for the Valley championship, the Aggies must win both of the games with Washington U. Coach Beau Olcott, who is giving a football coaching course in Room 202, Robinson Gymnasium, Tuesday and Thursday nights, says a great many of the candidates for positions on the football team have failed to play well. The players are the preliminary spring football practices and he said every person who intends to come out for Varsity football should attend these meetings. One feature of the baseball practice yesterday afternoon in the Gymnasium was an after-practice exhibition put on by Coaches Beau Olcott, Potty Clark, and Mac McCarty. Olcott and McCarty formed the pitching staff while Potty Clark was on the receiving end. the swimming pool in Robinson Gymnasium is not being painted this week as was announced, and the women are holding their resignations in preparation for the big interclass swimming meet to be held soon. Coffin, a freshman on the track squad this year, will run in the K. C. A. C. meet Saturday night in the mile and two mile relays. He will also be entered unattached in the 1,000 yard handicap race. Rice, one of the Varsity high jumpers, is getting into good shape again after being kept from practice for nearly a month by a badly sprained He and Miller will do the high jump in Kansas in the K. G. A. C meet. The Kansas track squad will go to Urbana in a special sleeper. The Illinois meet will be hold in the University armory at Urbana. There will be lockers and training rooms for every team entered. K.U. WILL BE PREPARED FOR ALL CONTENDERS Beau Olcott and Capt. Neilson Gathering Their Forces for Football Duration Spring Football Practice The Jayhawker gridiron forces will be called out the last of this month for their first spring practice in preparation for what promises to be one of the most successful football seasons, according to Coach Boehle Oatcet. Preliminary football lectures are being given every Tuesday and Thursday night in Room 202, Robinson Gymnastics, by Coach Olec for men who intend to teach in high schools and instructors for the Varsity football squad. Swede Nicelson, one of the scrapiest players that ever donned a football suit, will captain the Jayhawker eleven this year. Swede was the first player to hit a goal line since the time of Tommy Johnson, K. U.'s greatest athlete. "We're going to fight 'em off their feet," was the way Captain Nielson summed up the prospects for Kansas to win the Missouri Valley Conference tournament in the warm season. He said K. U. ught to have one of the best teams in years. Adrian Lindsey, captain of the Jayhawker eleven last year and all-Missouri Valley halfback, will graduate this year, but he says the Jayhawkers have the most promising squad this year that he has seen since he has been in school. He believes Kansas is going to "mop up" on the rest of the Missouri Valley Conference teams for the championship. Willard A. Burton right tackle, and William R. Heath, are the only other K men on the squad last year who will graduate. The competition for positions on the squad promises to be keen. Fifteen K men from last year's squad, with eighteen players from one of the scrappiest freshman squads in years, besides several other men such as Scrubby Laslett and Doc Marquis, who play well in the football team, compose the football material from which the coaches will develop the Jayawaker eleven. Kansas will open her 1917 football season with a clash with the Illinois eleven at Urbana, October 6. Coach Zuppke called out his gridiron forces two weeks ago and began spring practice in the big armory. He will hold scrimmages out-of-doors just as soon as the weather permits.

BOWERSOCK Today—Saturday CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG In a Seven-Reel Version of THE COMMON LAW NEW MEN REPORT FOR BATTERY POSITIONS Red Craig Came Out for Practice First Time Yesterday Afternoon "Prospects for a star battery are looking better now," was Coach McCarty's comment yesterday afternoon on the progress of the spring practices which are being held in the gym and on afternoon from two until four o'clock. The battery squad has increased to about fifteen candidates and both the coach and Captain George. Smee believe that the number will reach twenty-five by the time the first practices are held out-of-doors. Captain Smee said that he wanted every man who is eligible for the Varsity and who has played at either position, to report to the coach at once. More candidates have reported for pitcher than for catcher. The catcher this year will have to be a first round pick. Kirk McCormick the squad last year and from the new candidates By Robert W. Chambers. Admission 15 cents who are coming out for the first time. Coach McCarty said that he was going to base his selection of the players on the headwork and hitting ability of the candidates. The real test of the battery men will come when the outside practices start. Batting and running skills are important, so the headwork will be an important factor. Halleck Craig, one of the Jayhawker fans' favorites on the pitching staff of last year's nine, reported to the coach for his first workout yesterday. Therank M. McFarlane was the new candidate out for the catching position. The practices now consist of getting limbered up in preparation for the hard workouts that will be staged on McCook Field just as soon as the outside practice begins and when the respite candidates are heard the catching candidates receive the ball is sufficient evidence that the pitching staff is "getting up steam."
