Jayhawkers Finish Week
Hard Practice for Last
Home Games
"Beat Nebraska" is now the battle cry of three thousand five hundred enthusiastic Jayhawker fans who have high hopes that the rejuvenated Jayhawker quintet will add two more victories to its won list when it clashes with Oklahoma State in a game series tomorrow night in Robinson gymnasium.
The games promise to be the fastest and hardest-fought of any played here this season. The Jayhawker goal-tossers must win both of the clashes to stay in running order for the Missouri Valley Conference championship, and this fact alone is sufficient indication that the Crimson and Blue goal-caters are going to put up the hardest fight of the season.
FAST PRACTICE LAST NIGHT
The Jayhawker squad held its next to last practice in the Robinson gymnasium with the Huskers tomorrow night, and it was one of the fastest practices that has been seen this season. Every player on the squad was going at his best and showed a hundred per cent improvement over the playing in games with Washington University.
The first thirty minutes of the practice were given over to goal-shooting from places and distances on the court. Then a fast thirty-minute floor workout was staged with special emphasis on passing and catching the ball to top-speed. The practice closed with a fifteen-minute signal practice drill.
LAST WORKOUT TONIGHT
LAST WORKOUT TONIGHT
After the JAYHURST tonight the Jaheyn goal-taskers should be playing their best brand of basketball.
The feature of the practice last night was the eagerness of the players to enter the game in form for the clash with the Huskers.
Potsy Clark said he believes the Jayhawker quintet is going to put up one of the hardest-fought games of the season and that he is satisfied the game will be from the time the whistle opens the game until the pistol-shot closes it.
BIG GAME EXPLORED
The two game with the Huskers, toorrow tomorrow, Sunday night are the last games that will be played on the home court this season and Coach Hamilton said that he expects every seat in the Robinson gymnasium to be sold for both games before the clash tomorrow night.

SPORT BEAMS
Nebraska will invade the Jaya-
hawker camp in Robinson Gymnasium
tomorrow night to get revenge for a
defeat he has won from the football
field. Despite intense pressure, there
will be something doing from
start to finish of the clash.
The Jayhawker squad held one of its fastest practices of the season last night, and is rounding into best possible form.
Lytle, the rangy Kansas center was back in his old form, and heaved the baskets from all distances.
Gibbens was also right and displayed an amazing amount of speed on the floor, with an equal ability to connect with the baskets.
Coach Venne's Haskell goal-tossers easily won from the Kansas City University five last night by the score of 51 to 15. The game was
much faster and more exciting than the score would indicate. Bennie Murdock was the greatest point-getter for Haskell, cagging twelve field baskets. The speed and floorwork of the Haskell Indians was the feature game. Captain Vandke right forward, played the best for the K. C. U. five.
Captain Fat Nelson played a good game, and showed a great improvement in his floorwork and speed.
All the players are going at their best and they should sweep the Nebraska far off its feet with such teamwork and fast playing.
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, was in Kansas City yesterday making final arrangements for the game. He will be held in Convention Hall, March 16.
Coach Hamilton will probably enter five or six men in the Missouri Athletic club meet at St. Louis, March 10. A quarter miler, pole vaulter, half-miler, miler, and a high jumper will likely be the men to take the trip.
The hockey coach at McGill claims that, although the team did fine work, and he does not wish to detract from their glory, nevertheless he attributes their success to the fact that he nearly won the championship on the bench in uniform. In all the games that McGill won, thirteen men were out, and the two they lost in Pittsburgh, only twelve were out. With the big victory in Pittsburgh the coach stated that he was going to be certain to have thirteen men in uniform once more.

Coach Olcott is holding an intramural contest in the shot put. Men showing the greatest improvement within the next three meets weeks he given a gold medal. The contest was held on March. Sheppel, Liggett, Burch, Ziegler, and Haddock have been doing good work in this contest.
ARE AGGIES WEAK?
The relay in the Aggle meet still remains unknown quantity. The most likely one-up now appears to be O'Leary, Hardy, Welsh and Sproul or Rinker, with Murphy of Murphy being used instead of two women. The greater part of the Mac hattan team seems to be a mystery and its strength will first be shown in the meet Monday night. Indications seem to point to a weaker team than the one they had last season.

AGGIES ROMP-OVER NEBRASKA
AND LAND IN SECOND PLACE
The Aggies jumped back into second place in the Missouri Valley Conference championship race by smothering the Nebraska quintet under a pair of Nichols gymnastium at Manhattan. Another game is scheduled for tonight.
Nebraska will play the Jayhawker quintet tomorrow night and Saturday night. Kansas must win both games from the Huskers and Missouri and the Agies must lose one game if Kansas wins the valley championship. The Jayhawker quintet showed a hunter's best improvement in the practice last season, and the Hawker fans believe that they will win the rest of the games on their schedule if they show the same old eight.

"Behind the Scenes"
NO.2
This being the second of a series of talks about the coming Dramatic Club production, "UNDER COVER"
"UNDER COVER"
—the cast
Here they are. After a competitive try-out in which seventy-five people of dramatic merit participated. Choosing was hard—it seemed that the dramatic talent was exceptionally good this year. Finally, however, the following were selected. It is an ALL-STAR cast. Every member has played in at least one, and several in as many three, K. U. productions:
OTTO DITTEM will have a very difficult part in "Under Cover." However, his showing in "The Man from Home" and "The Witching Hours" leaves no doubt as to his ability to handle the part.
ADA DYKES will play the leading role. She is talented and experienced, having taken the leading part in "The Witching Hour" last year. FRANK McFARLAND will play the leading male part, opposite Miss Jerry in "The Witching Hour," playing an important part in "The Man from Home" two years ago.

DORA LOCKETT, winner of the Jayhawker Contest last year, has earned a corner of part and is sure to delight the audience with her presentation.
MABEL ELMORE has taken part in several class fares and each time her acting has stood out as unusual. Though her part in "Under the Sea" was a bit more formal, she has been an enthusiast.
DICK TREWEEK—always known as a good trainee, lately discovered to be a real actor as well.
WALTER HAVEKORST made a big hit in "The Witching Hour" last year, although he had but a small part. He will have an opportunity in "Under Cover" to display the dramatic talent which he possesses.
