UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEW TRACK MEN TRY FOR PLACES Ziegler Out for Shot and Pole- Vault—Shreve Runs Quarter New track men were out yesterday afternoon working in practically all of the events. Ziegler not only tied his hand at the shot but did some good pault vaulting. Shreve was the new man working out and he had good jumping for his second arm out since he injured his arm several weeks ago. Grutzmacher, the veteran brond jumper, did some work in the broad jump yesterday. Treweksie tied the high jump for the first time this week being unable to work because on account of an injury his right knee also did some work in the low hurdles yesterday. Rustenbach showed good form in the low hurdles. Seward, the man who showed up best in the high hurdles in the Normal meet, has not been out for more than a week now, and it is parent that a new high hurdle will be developed to run with Winn in this event. Groene and Stateler did some pretty running in the two mile in the last practice. Stateler crossed the line in the first half, then came back. Howard ran an easy半 along with Murphy, who did the quarter in a little under a minute. O'Leary and Sproull made the best time in the second half. Murphy, white Rinker ran them a close race. Potys Clark timed the men by laps on the upper track while Coach Hamilton worked with the pole vaulters, high jumpers, and dash men. Coach Olcott reported the same Varsity men out for the weights as before and a large squad of freshman candidates. Ziegler, Casey, Small, and Vernon were all putting the shot about 36 feet. It is not expected that the Kansas Aggies will be as strong as they were last year when they expected to win from K. U. by a close margin but Kansas upset all dope in beating them by a forty-seven point margin. Many of the Aggies were lost last season and were lost by graduation and no indication has been given to the outside world as to what sort of a new team is being developed at Aggieville. It is certain, however, that the meet will not be a walkaway. SPORT BEAMS Every man on the Jayhawk squirrel realizes that Kansas will have to fight and fight hard to get back in running order for the Valley championship. Last night Captain Fat Nelson, a senior track star, missed their suppers to be on time for practice. This characterizes the spirit of every man on the spud. The Missouri Valley Conference games for the week-end are: Missouri vs. Arkansas, two games, Wisconsin vs. Warnertown, two games, Aggies, two games at Manhattan. Kansas plays Washington U. Monday and Tuesday and Nebraska Friday and Saturday. Drake will play Ames at Ames Tuesday, and Nebraska will play the Aggies at Manhattan Wednesday and Thursday. It is predicted by followers of sport that Nebraska is likely to run into some hard luck next week. She will play on four successive days, the first two with the Aggies and the second two with the Jayhawkers. Kansas will play her last basketball game of the season two weeks from tomorrow when she plays Washington U. at St. Louis. Baseball will soon hold the center of the stage, with the spring football practices coming in for their share of attention. The baseball team will be in their spring football practice Monday, according to Eli Stover, the star fullback. Every day several spectators can be seen watching the various new sports added to the gymnasium schedule. The boxing, wrestling, and fencing classes have already been closed because of large numbers enrolled. The men are now being organized for the interclass swimming meet which will be held soon according to Prof. Charles B. Harrison, of the department of physical education. A time for the meeting of the members of the class in advanced swimming is now being arranged. If you do not live to take that insurance you intend to take, who loses the most your estate or myself? "UNDER COVER" WILL BE EXPLAINED IN LECTURES Tradition and precedent will be broken by the Dramatic Club this year in the advertising of their 1917 play, "Under Cover," to be given the latter part of this month. Heretofore Dramatic Club productions have been very lightly advertised, if at all. This year, however, Manager Frank McFarland has planned an array of series of plays that will appear easy to day in the advertising columns of the Daily Kansan. By this novel method, he hopes to acquaint the student body with the special features offered by this year's play. The so-called "lectures" will take up, one by one, the various special phases of the coming production. First will come the plot, followed by a review of the cast, and so on, until each feature is explained.

WOMEN TRY OUT FOR BIG SPLASH Interclass Meet Will Include Eight Diving and Swimming Events The next big event in women's athletics is the interclass swimming meet, which will be held sometime next month according to Conch Hazel Pratt. The exact date will be announced later. "All women who wish to enter the swimming meet should begin work now," said Miss Pratt. "The pool is at 12:30, 12:30, and 4:30." The meet will include eight events: the side stroke, 50 feet; backstroke, 50 feet; breaststroke, 50 feet; 100-foot diving; dash, compulsory, compulsory; and relay. The winner in the meet will be given a large plaque. The women are already beginning to look forward to the meet according to Miss Pratt. Yesterday afternoon the women's advanced swimming class met at 2:30 and practiced diving. One of the sophomore women broke her last year record of 15.3 seconds for the fifty-foot side-stroke dash and made it into the finals. Two new women were out to the 3:30 class and everyone joined in a game of "follow your leader." Women who had never dived before, took a plunge rather than fall out of the line, according to Miss Pratt. All of the women who competed in the swimming meet last year are in school with the exception of Bertha Ketchell, a graduate who won the fifty foot breast stroke event, and Opal Holmes, a soccer player who won the fifty foot stroke event. Miriam Jones was the greatest point-getter for the juniors in the meet last year. Ruth Endacott was a close second for the sophomores. The final results of the meet by classes was: sophomores, 26; juniors, 20; freshmen, 12; seniors, 5; graduates, 5. Why Lee's?

Her Valentine A Valentine Suggestion from this store, is a box of fresh pure chocolate WIEDEMANN'S OWN MAKE. She will surely be pleased, for it is her favorite candy. Ten years ago, it might have been a fancy paper invention. But today, the old-fashioned valentine is not seen—its place has been taken by useful, better things. FLOWER SHORTAGE WILL CAUSE RAISE IN PRICE WIEDEMANN'S The price paid for flowers this spring is expected to far exceed the amount paid at that season last year, according to local florists. The increase is due to the extreme cold and the poor gas supply effecting the heating floor. The shortage has been noted since Christmas when the reserve supply of flowers were rushed to meet the holiday demand. The recent cold spell caused a great shortage in the fuel supply and the trouble with heating increased. The high prices have led to the hotel layer laying in a coal supply and the low gas pressure makes proper heating impossible. AT OTHER SCHOOLS The University of Oklahoma has withdrawn from the Southernwest Athletic Conference. The large number of small schools in the present conference is given as the reason for the withdrawal of this school. The University of Iowa has her troubles. At the present time she is bothered by frequent visits of investigators committees from the state legislature. Engineers at the University of Oklahoma are opposed to letting their members wear their mustaches. One engineer appeared with such an adornment, but it was immediate removed by the two pairs of pairless scissors, and it was declared that none would be further tolerated.
