KANSANS PREPARE FOR GAMES WITH MISSOURI
Coaches Have Hopes of Tying With Tigers and Aggles for Valley Championship
TEAM LEAVES TOMORROW
Last Practice Held Tonight-
Players Confident of Defeating Their Ancient Foes
“On to Missouri” is the battle cry of the rejuvenated Jayhawker quintet which came back in championship season with the Cornhuskers, Saturday night.
"If we don't win both of those games it won't be because we didn't fight," one of the regulars summed up the Jayhawker prospects in the two-game series with the Tigers tomorrow night and Thursday night at Columbia. The coaches and players leave tomorrow morning for Columbia. The squad will be selected tonight after practice.
Kansas still has a good chance to tie up for the valley championship is the team takes the two games from Missouri. Coach Stewart of New York plays the Angels and Tigers will spit the two-game series at Columbia, March 5-6.
The Jayhawkers must take two straight from the Tigers who in turn must split with the Aggies if Kansas is to finish in the first rank. In that case the Jayhawkers, Tigers, and Aggies will all tie up for the Missouri Conferenceference championship providing all win the minor games of the schedule.
Coaches Hamilton and Clark have not given up hope of a tie for the championship. Both remember how football dope was upset last fall and that the Kansas team K, U, had won from Nebraska and seemed to have the valley championship safely tucked away. They still have hopes that the Jayhawker quintet will come back with a win. They will be in fighting yet displayed this season.
The comeback of the Crimson and Blue goal-tossers in the last Nebraska game has rejuvenated the hopes of the Jayhawker fans, and every one believes that the Jayhawker quintet is going to put up one of the hardest fights of the season. The Jayhawker regulars, with the exception of Gibbens, rested last night after their third top condition and after a light signal and goal-practice tonight should be in fine form.
Gibbens, Kauder, Woodward, Lindsay and Wilson with Mandeville and Davis from the freshman basketball squad held a fast scrimmage with Coach Venne's Haskell Indian goalcayers last night in the Haskell gymnasium. Gibbens and Kauder played the forward positions, Woodward center, while Lindsay and Wilson played the guard positions.
The Indians put up a hard game and hold the Jayhawkers to a two-point margin in the first half. During the second half the Jayhawkers advanced their lead to six points, Mandeville replaced Gibbens at the beginning of the third quarter by in for Lindsey seven minutes later. Thermer also replaced Williams, Haskell left guard at the beginning of the second half.
SPORT BEAMS
The Emporia Normals want to have an outdoor track meet with K. U. this spring. They think that they have a good chance of defeating the Kansas team in an outdoor meet. The Teachers would be strengthened by the return of Sites in the weights, hurdles, and dashes while Lockman is said to be better in the longer hurdle races than indoors.
Cross, captain of the Normal track team, was again the star for the Normals in the meet with the Aggies Saturday.
The Oklahoma Aggies will meet the Normals at Emporia tonight in an intercollegiate wrestling contest. There will be five events, the contests being classified according to weight. The team's senior summum to be held here the last of this month, in which the wrestling is part of the program.
The management of the K. C. A. C. meet to be held in Convention Hall March 3, is planning to have conditions favorable for establishing a new record by Joie Ray, a distinguished reputation. The present words mark for the two mile is held by the English runner, Alfred Shrubb, but Doctor Reilly, athletic director of the K. C. A. C., believes that Ray can break records in competition. Therefore he is planning to have two miles run against Ray.
Coach Hazel Pratt announced yesterday that the swimming pool will be open for women every Thursday afternoon at 2:30 and 3:30. Women who wish to try out for the big class swimming meet in March are espec-
ally urged to practice in the pool at these hours.
There is a great shortage on lockers at present according to Prof. Charles B. Harrison of the department of physical education. He is getting reports from his classes of the fellows who have left school, and anyone who knows of an available locker should report to Professor Harrison at once. Several of the lockers are being used by two persons.
The wrestling mat in the west end of the gymnasium has just been recovered, retufted, and top-apposed with a Wilton Brussels rug. It is now in fine condition for all prospective wrestlers who expect to compete in the gymnastic meet which will be held soon.
Missouri is having a hard time finding a pole vault to fill the place left vacant by Bill Powell. Sylvester is the latest recruit but he has no made
HOLD RELAY TRYOUT FOR ILLINOIS MEET
Coach Hamilton Will Probably Send Ten Men to the Invitation Meet at Urbana
Preliminary try-outs for the two mile relay team to be taken to the Illinois Invitation meet at Urbana March 3, were held yesterday afternoon in the gymnasium. Eight men were in the trials, each running a half. Rodkey easily defeated Murphy in his half mile and made the best time, 2.04. Sproull was the next best man, and Murphy, Stateler, and Welsh made the distance in the same time. All made it in better than 2:10. The second and third rounds landed Welsh, but both men made slower time than 2:10. Preliminary trials for a mile relay team to be entered in the Illinois meet will be held this week Finals for both relay teams will be held the first of next week.
A pole vaulter and a high jumper will also be taken to the meet at Urbana and possibly Haddock, the freshman star dash man, will be entered if he is allowed to compete in the meet. The remainder of the track team will probably be taken to the K. C. A. C. and Glenview Games. Practically all of the Tiger track team will compete in the Kansas City meet.
Haddock did some good work yesterday, while Casey was working out for the high hurdles. He will probably take Seeward's place in the high hurdles this weekend and eleven foot mark in the last practice yesterday, but missed it by inches.
much better than ten feet so far this season. The two mile is another weak spot in the Tiger team again this year. Pittam is back in the high jump and is reported to have done five feet ten inches. Bery and Warren, two veterans, are back again to handle the weights. The quarter mile appears to be one of the strongest points on the M. U. team.
The present standing of the Missouri Valley teams is:
G.  GW.  GL.  Pet.
Missouri 8 6 2 .750
Aggies 8 6 2 .750
Kansas 12 8 4 .667
Ames 6 3 3 .500
Nebraska 6 1 5 .167
Drake 2 0 2 .000
Washington U. 6 0 6 .000
The largest per cent now that Kansas can get is 750. If the Aggies and Tigers split the games at Columbia, their largest possible per cent would be 750. It is very likely first place if the Jayhawker quintet would win the next four games with the Tigers and Washington U.
It is the opinion of Coach Stewart of Nebraska that the Tigers and Aggies are going to split the games at Columbia, March 5-6. He said the Aggies probably had a better chance would have the advantage of playing on their home court which is much smaller than the Nichols court which is much smaller than the Nichols court.
Sigma Delta Chi meets at 7:45 Tuesday at the Sigma Chi house instead of at the Pi Kappa Alpha house as previously announced.

The Jayhawker women are in tiptop condition for the clash and will probably put up one of their best games of the season. Every player on the squad has come through the season without an injury. Gladys Anderson is jumping over a pitcher who has been out of the game on account of sickness, is also back on the squad and is playing her usual fast style of basketball.
The juniors held their last practice in the Robinson gymnasium yesterday afternoon from 12:30 to 1:30 before they enter the clash with the Ottawa U. women tonight. The practice was in form of a scrimmage with the strong freshman team who put up a hard fight. The feature of the practice was the excellent teamwork of the juniors and the usual ability of Joyce Brown and Dorothy Querfeld to make field goals.

"UNDER COVER"
NO.4
This being the fourth of a series of talks about that coming Dramatic Club production.
---the production.
"Under Cover" will be an exact reproduction of the original New York show which played 45 successful weeks at the Cort Theater. Every feature, even to the smallest detail, will be copied, just as it was in the beginning.
Over in Old North College, two well known scenery artists are duplicating, line for line, the stage settings used in the original production.
A "property man" that knows his business is searching Lawrence and adjacent cities for "props" that fit the show to the veriest detail.
An experienced electrician will manipulate the light effects at "Under Cover," giving real "atmosphere" to the various scenes.
A professional "stage crew" from the Grand Opera House, at Topeka, will "work" the show. There will be no "boneheads"—no unnecessary waiting between acts—the show will run smooth.
Between the acts and before the curtain first rises, the K. U. orchestra will furnish an entertaining musical program.
"Under Cover" will surely be perfectly produced. MAIL-ORDER SEAT SALE
