ATHLETES ARE CHOSEN FOR BIG EASTERN MEET
Two-Mile Relay Team Was Selected Yesterday—Rodkey Sets New Record
The two mile relay team to be taken to the Illinois meet Saturday was selected yesterday afternoon. Captain Rodkey, Sproull, Murphy, and Barris all making the half mile in 2.08 or better. Rodkey established a new record in the half for the Robinson track when he ran it in 2.03 in yesterday's try-outs. Conch W. O. Hamilton was shown with the showing made by the four men.
Haddock will not be taken as no freshmen will be allowed in the meet. Rustenbach will run the dashes. The best of the Big Nine runners will miss the meet, and four members, including Michigan which will make its first appearance on a conference field since 1905. Wisconsin, Chicago, Minnesota, Purdue, Indiana, Ohio, Northwestern, and Illinois will make their first appearance in the meet. Michigan, Kansas, Drake, Ames, Notre Dame, Knox, Lombard, Coe, Grinnell, and Franklin are the other schools entered in the meet. Chicago and Michigan appear to have been given teams in the meet. Three trophy cups will be given to winning teams.
Two other men probably will be taken for the three relay events in which teams have been entered. O'Leary and Welsh probably will be taken. Kansas will run only two of the three events, the four mile, the two mile, and mile relay races, is possible. The relay race is Rustenbach also will be taken on the trip. Dick Treweesk will do the broad jump as well as the high jump.
Groene made a remarkable showing in the two mile again yesterday after making excellent time in the same event Friday. "I had to work out which would have meant 9,50 for the two mile if he had kept up the pace. It is not likely that he would have made that time, but it is hardly improbable that he would have made the distance in less than 10 fitt. This was the problem, the two mile in such good time, Kansas will be almost sure of two places in every dual meet this year.
SPORT BEAMS
Interest in baseball is increasing every day. The first Jayhawker game is only a little over a month away and Coach McCarty is working out the battery men every afternoon in the Gymnasium.
The catching position probably is causing the coach the most worry. The receiver this year will have to be developed from among the new rebounders. The receivers are two of the strongest candidates for that position at present.
The Jayhawker quintet closed their schedule Saturday night and will now wait until the close of the Missouri Valley Conference basketball games there they will be on the Valley ladder. They now occupy fourth place.
The Haskell Indian goal-tossers won a rough, exciting game from the Pittsburgh Normal five last night by the score of 31 to 28. Captain Clements was the big point-getter for
Haskell, with three field goals and five free ones out of a possible six, while W. Murdock and B. Murdock, forwards, were next with five field goals and four field goals. Walker, with two free ones for his team, with two field baskets and ten free ones out of a possible twenty-three.
POSTPONE TRIANGULAR MEET
Plans Are Now Complete For Annual Contest of Gymnastium Artists
The triangular gymnasium meet between the Kansas Normals, K. S. A. C., and K. U., to have been held here Thursday, has been postponed until March 8. Coach Clevenger of theagle school wanted to have the meet on April 6, but it is probable he will agree to the meet on the eighth.
The Jayhawker gymnasium men have been hard at work for the last month and they probably will have as strong a team as the one which won the league championship in Easternday, Cameron Reed, Sam Ferguson, and Jick Fast appear to be the best wrestlers out this winter. There will be two wrestling events, one for men weighing less than 135 pounds and another for men weighing more than 140 pounds. The national tryouts will be held in the Gymnasium tomorrow afternoon.
Kenneth Bell, Bernard Jensen, and George Malm克斯 have been doing the best work on the apparatus and at tumbling. There will be four events, three of which involve the horse, and tumbling, besides the two mat events. Each will count five points for first place, three points for second, and one for fourth. Five points will count for first place in both games, and four for both in both scoring, for big, school.
The meet will be held on the main floor of the Gymnasium and indications point to as interesting a contest as any track meet.
Track Shoes Are Needed
Track shoes are badly needed by the applicants for the 1917 track team and the Athletic Association has been unable to supply the demand. More than 150 pairs of footwear from Coach Hamilton's office in the gymnasium since school began last fall. The average attendance at track practice each afternoon is less than fifty. Many of the regular men are working in old shoes, worth $60 a pair, while hundreds students have good shoes belonging to the association in their lockers, according to Coach Hamilton.
The University of Colorado library reached 100,000 cataloged volumes Saturday, marking its entrance into the select group of large American libraries, especially of the educational class. The World's Almanac for 1916 lists forty-two college and university libraries in the United States owning 100,000 volumes or more, and three Canadian libraries...Ex.

CAPTAIN SMEE CALLS FOR MORE BATTERY MEN
Only Thirteen Candidates Have Reported to Coach McCarty
"We need more pitchers and catchers out for the preliminary practices if we are going to have an all victorious team this year," said Captain George Snee yesterday in summing prospects for the 1017 baseball nine.
Captain Smee believes that he has served his time on the pitching staff and wants to play in another position. Although one of the best pitchers on the Jayhawker nine last year he also played a star game in the field and intends to go back to it, position if Carty can develop a sufficient staff.
Only thirteen candidates for the battery positions have reported to Coach McCarty for the preliminary practices. Both the coach and capita-ler were asked to give a number to report from a student body of three thousand five hundred.
Constant Poier, a member of the pitching staff last year, and Wint Smith, a K man on the football team, came out for their first practices yesterday. Halleck Craig will be out sometime this week according to the coach.
The first game on the Jayhawker schedule is only a month away and the coach is anxious that every candidate should report at the gymnasium tomorrow afternoon from two until four noon. The gym teachers daily until the weather permits out-of-door work when the rest of the candidates for the team will be called.
Theta Sigma Phi, journalism sorority, of Ohio State University, will be given full charge of the March number of the Sun Dial, a university publication. The sorority will appoint the editor, business manager, art editor, and staff from among its members.
The Phi Gamma Delta house at Chicago University was robbed of $400 last week. About the same time, during the Junior Prom, the Sigma Chi house at Oxford, Ohio, was visited by thieves who carried away $50. Now we read of robbers entering the locker room of the gymnasium at Indiana University, riffing the clothes of the basketball team, playing up a basketball court and wearing gold watches. The Daily Maroon suggests that this is the time when all good houses should lock their doors.
Thefts at Other Schools
The popularity of chapel attendance blossomed forth to the extreme, last week at Northwestern. Thirty-one students were accidentally locked in a class room and were forced to jump out of the windows since they realized that thirty chapel credits were required.—Exchange.

Sam Clarke Says: It stands to reason that since a correctly made suit of clothes consists of some 228 pieces of material and trimmings, it cannot be turned out at $15.00 unless the material is adulterated and the workmanship of inferior nature.
