RODKEY BREAKS
FORMER RECORD
Captain of Track Team Lowers Time in Half Mile
Little has been heard of the Kansas Aggie track team this season, no word having leaked out of Aggieville as to what sort of a team they will have this winter. Keys, the star two-miler of last season, is said to be working on a new training team that is eligible the track team will be greatly strengthened. Collier was the best dash man in the state high school meet held two years ago.
Fred Rodkey, captain of the track team, broke the Robinson Gymnasium record for the half mile yesterday afternoon, by running the distance in 2.04 flat. The former record was 2.04:4, made by Rodkey last year. The men who regularly runs the two mile game finished seven seconds after Rodkey.
K. U. will have a star team in the dashes next year if all of the men now in school come out for work next year. Haddock and Schwartz, two Kansas players who will meet all of the high school meets in which they have been entered. Rustenbach will be back next year and he is going fine for the Varsity right now. Grissom, a Syracuse man, is the other fast man or the daisy girl that note that Missouri will not have Simpson to win their track meets for them.
Atwood and Pattinson did some fine vaulting Monday. Two new poles were added to the list of track equipment yesterday and a number of new boxes were shot, but practically all the are ineligible for the Varsity this year.

The Missouri center, Captain Fred Williams, is said by several coaches to be one of the best centers in the valley, and his playing will probably be as spectacular as that of Cross of the Emporia Normals who made the Jayhawker fans cheer by his ability. He will find his match when he meets a Jayhawker by the name of Lytle.
The Jayhawker goal-shooters and the coaches well know that if Kansas should lose to the Tiger that the Valley championship would be practically lost, and this alone is sufficient to make the Jayhawkers fight from the time the whistle opens the game until it announces the close.
If Kansas wins both games the Jayhawkers will maintain their lead in the valley race with a most likely chance of winning the championship.
