CORNHUSKERS RE-ENTER VALLEY BASEBALL RACE
Nebraska Schedules First Game Since Withdrawal from Missouri Valley in 1910
The Jayhawker baseball season will open April 5, when the Kansas Normals come here for a clash with the Jayhawker nine on McCook Field.
Kansas will play eighteen games this year according to Manager W. O. Hamilton, but only fourteen have been scheduled. Ten of the games will be in the Missouri Valley Conference.
PLAY NEBRASKA AGAIN
Nebraska vs. Kansas
schedule for the first time in seven years. The long absence of baseball from the University of Nebraska was occasioned by the anti-summer baseball ban. The Missouri Valley Conference in 1910.
The Huskers refused to put out a baseball squad as long as the rule was retained by the governing board. Nebraska charged that fully half of the college baseball players took part in summed up in force when an attempt was made to enforce it. By playing under assumed names most of the college players were able to avoid debarment from college athletics, although clean mollars and abolition of the rules the Huskers had welcomed back again.
NEBRASKA HAS NO 6D
It will be necessary for Nebraska to recruit players from the team, but Athletic Manager Reed says that he does not anticipate any trouble in finding candidates for all of the positions. The Huskers will also have a good coaching staff, as Coach Stewart was a former college baseball star and after leaving school had charge of one of his first teams in Ohio. He will be assisted by Ducky Holmes, manager of the Western League club, at Lincoln.
NERBASKA HAS NO OLD MEN
NEW BATTERY MEN OUT
More battery men are coming out for the Jayhawk squad every day and Coach McCarty believes that by the end of the week he will have a battery force of twenty-five or more candidates. Captain Smee said that Kansas had a mighty good chance to take the Missouri Valley Championship this year if the men continued to come out for places on the team.
Fenton Baker, who pitched for the Sigma Chi fraternity in the inter-fraternity baseball tournament last year, and Kenneth Dodderidge, a senior in the School of Law, were the new candidates for the twirling positions who reported to Coach McCarty for practice yesterday afternoon.
Coach McCarty said the battery squad was beginning to take form and that he wanted every person who is eligible for the Varsity and who intends to come out for one of the battery positions, to report to him at once. The quicker the battery man come out for it, the better chance it will give the coach to get a grip on the material from which he will develop the battery for this season. The first game is only a little over a month away.
The games which Manager W. O.
Hamilton have scheduled so far are:
Kansas Normals, at Lawrence,
April 5.
Kansas at St. Marys, April 14.
Nebraska at Lawrence, April 25-26.
St. Marys at Lawrence, May 1.
Kansas at Emporia, May 5.
Missouri at Lawrence, May 10-11.
Kansas at Columbia, May 18-19.
Aggies at Lawrence, May 23-24.
Kansas at Manhattan, June 1-2.
SPORT BEAMS
Followers of track will have a fine opportunity to find out how strong the Tigers are this year when the University of Missouri track stars compete in the Convention Hall Saturday night.
K. U, track men had full benefit of the icy cold water which was provided for them last night in the Robinson showers. Tuesday night they were treated to scalding hot water and no cold water.
The University of Kansas basketball team will play tonight in Robinson Gymnasium against Haskell for the benefit of the visiting teachers who will come from Kansas City from the convention of the National Educators Association day. No it is quite probable that we given out but it is quite probable that the regular Varsity squad will play against the Indians.
The 1917 Jayhawker baseball schedule includes games with the Tigers, Huskers, and the Aggies. All three teams will appear on McCook this season if rain does not interfere, which seems out of question.
The Cornhuskers have again entered Missouri Valley Conference baseball after an absence of seven years. The last year the Huskers played baseball, and the team games were with them, but both wore indefinitely postponed on account of rain, according to Mgr. W. O. Hamilton.
Capt. George Sears says there is always room for more battery men to work out. He wants to play another position than year and said he wanted the position, man who is eligible for the Varsity, to come out for the practices.
TO GET EVAPORATION DATA
K. U. Helps U. S. Government Investigate Amount of Water in Air
Water in Air
The new government evaporation station, which was installed at the University last fall, was set up again yesterday evening by Dr. Charles A. Shull, who has charge of the station for the government.
The evaporation stations were installed in the various states for the first time by the government last year. The purpose of the stations is to gather accurate data on the amount of evaporation in the various parts of the United States and then map out the evaporation zones in order to tell just what crops are suited for the different parts of the country.
Up to the present time no accurate evaporation data has been gathered. The amount of rainfall has been reported to be so low that soon as accurate results have been obtained from the evaporation stations, the government can issue bulletins which will be of very great importance to farmers in every part of the country.
There are only two stations in Kansas. One is located here and the other at Tribute, in the western part of the state. Interesting results already have been obtained at the two stations.
The data for September, which was accurately observed at both stations, shows that the evaporation at Lawrence was only 7.761 inches while the evaporation at Tribune was 9.47 inches. The difference in height was .940 inch, recorded at Tribune, while at Lawrence the highest amount was .563 inch.
to make records from stations widely separated comparable, it is necessary that the apparatus and exposures be uniform, from the slightest departure from the standard of vaporation, and make accurate comparison impossible.
Last year the apparatus was disarranged and the shelter instrument was toppled over by thoughtless students who did not know the importance of accuracy in the observations. Doctor Shull said he believed the students molested the station through "general curiosity" and that no one would bother the apparatus when they learned of their importance. The station is located between Haworth Hall and the Engineering Building.
AT OTHER SCHOOLS
A dancing contest was held at the co-eed informal at the University of Washington, where the judges decision was to two girls who school can dance the waltz properly.
Harvard is to appropriate the $10,000 raised by its alumni and under-graduate students in a swimming pool or basement of a gymnasium instead of erecting a gymnasium.
The University of Michigan has twenty-six graduates who are members of the Sixty-fourth Congress, according to an interesting compilation of statistics in the Boston Transcript. The following are figures for other colleges: Harvard 20, Yale 16, Columbia 9, Amherst 4, Princeton 4, Laffey 3, Brown 3, Navy 2, Army 2.—De Pauw.
As a beginning for a million-dollar endowment fund, $200,000 will be received by Lafayette College from the Rockefeller Foundation.
An odd gift has been received by Ohio Wesleyan in the form of eight new tennis courts, presented by an alumnus.
To further the interests of prohibition before any other college activity, is the pledge of twelve men of Colgate.
In order to aid needy students, over $100 was subscribed recently to the Michigan Y. M. C. A.

Men for the mile relay team which will run in the Illinois meet Saturday night were picked yesterday afternoon. O'Leary, Rodkey, Sproll, and Welsh will make up the team, who may possibly be used in place of Welsh.
PRACTICE PASSING THE BATON
There are so many men entered in the mile relay event in the Urbana meet that preliminary races may be necessary to narrow the race down to a few teams. More than eight teams have been entered in this event. Other men who will go are Stateler, Pattinson, and Treweake.
PRACTICE TASKS

Atwood was doing some unusual pole vaulting yesterday. Treweke has been doing some broad jumping in preparation for this event at Urana Saturday. Casey and Small did some excellent tossing of the ball in practice but neither had both hit it better than the forty-foot mark. Rice and Miller are working hard to get into trim for the Kansas City meet this week.

K. N. G. MAY GET MORE PAY
If Bill Passes Senate Each Guardsman Will Receive Sixty Dollars Extra
A bill appropriating $172,000 due Kansas Guardsmen for their services on the border while in federal service was passed on third reading in the Kansas house of representatives yesterday.
A similar bill has already been recommended for passage by the senate
committee of the whole. In case the senate approves the measure, the enlisted men and non-commissioned officers of the Kansas National Guard will receive one dollar per day instead of fifty cents per day, which is all that is allowed them by the federal government.
The state rate of pay for the militia is one dollar per day, and the Kansas law allows the men, when in federal service, the difference between the state rate and the appropriation bill is for the purpose of providing the money necessary to
pay the men this difference. If passed the bill will mean about sixty dollars of extra pay for each Kansas Guardsman.
