TRACK WORK IS IMPROVING DAILY
New Men Are Coming Out Every Day for Practice in Robin-son Gymnasium
NORMAL TEAM IS STRONG
Coach Hargiss Reports That His Men Are Good in Field Events
New men are still coming out for track practice every day. Atwood, an old pole vaulter, checked out his track equipment Friday and will commence work at once. Bell, who did some sprinting for the Westport high school two years ago, began training with Gliscom, the speedy freshman from Syracuse, has started to practice regularly in the dashes.
Winn, the veteran hurdler, was out Friday doing some sprinting. The jumping of Rice and Treweekill still continues to be good for this time of the year, but the old track man in this town is practicing regularly every day.
NEW MEN FOR QUARTER
Rodkey ran an easy quarter in 59 seconds Friday afternoon, leading the field of distance men. Coffin, the star 880 man of the Northeast high school last year, continues to do good work every day. "O'Leary is rapidly improving," he will run the quarter and the relay, and possibly the 220-yard dash.
The practice was cut short Friday because the upper track had to be seated for the Normal basketball game. A large incline and stop was finished Saturday so that the dash men will not run into the hard wall at the west end of the Gymnasium when they cross the finish line. Four tracks will be used in all of the meets in Robinson Gymnasium this winter. After the Normal meet, which comes on Monday, January 29, there will be the Kansas Aggie meet here in the Gymnasium, probably February 19.
**GOMMATS A. K.**
Bill O'Reilly, the normal track coach, will bring a team to Lawrence that will be strong in the weights, and in the dashes and hurdles, which appear to be the weak points on the Jayhawker squad. Sharp, who placed second to Reber in the meet last winter, is back again this year and this looks bad for Kawasaki. He is capable of doing the two mile in 10:15, which will keep the Kansas two-milers pretty busy to give five points in this event.
Cross, the basketball star, is also good at the hurdles and the dashes. Van Patten, the classy pole vaulter of last season's team, will be in shape again this winter. Stitics, one point winner in last season's meet, is also back on the court. In fact, Coach Hargis has a well-balanced team this year, and, although the men have been working only since January 4, they will present a rather formidable line-up when they meet the K. U. team the last of the month.
RAILROAD-MAN LECTURES
TO ENGINEERING STUDENTS
George B Rex, head of the Timber treating department of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fata Raiload with offices at Topeka, gave an interesting and instructive talk on "Time or Preservation" before a joint meeting of the societies of the School of Engineering in Marvin Hall last night.
Mr. Rex illustrated his lecture with lantern slides and a large number of specimens of treated timbers. He was assisted by Walter Bontengel, e10, who is in the same department with Mr. Rex.
Rudolph Uhlraub had his eye on the basket Friday, besides playing an allround heady game. He scored sixteen of K. U's points on field goals.
Gibbens was not hitting the baskets in his usual manner but his team work was by far the best he has ever shown either this season or last.
The play of the Normals was considerably slowed up after Welch was forced to leave the game on account of a weak knee which he hurt early in the first period. The injury was received in football.
Cutter, the flashy Normal forward, is an all-state football man and made the second all-state basketball team last season. He also plays second half defense but he is not the star at this game that he is in the other two sports.
Cross also does the dashes and hurdles on the Normal track team. He is considered one of the best men on the squad.

TWO STUDENTS ENTER COLLEGE SPIRIT CONTEST
Two students have announced their intention of entering the contest for the prize offered by the Graduate Magazine for the best article on "What is College Spirit, and How Should it be Manifested?" Miss Agnes Thompson, editor of the magazine, said this morning.
Five days are allowed in which students may announce their intention of entering the contest, but, if at the end of the five days, ten students have not signified their intention to compete, the offer will be withdrawn. The articles must be in the Alumni office in Fraser before February 10.
SPORT BEAMS
The Haskell quintet plays Bill Weidlinie's basketsteers from Midland College, tonight at eight o'clock in the new Haskell gymnasium. Bill Weidlinie will be remembered by followers of the K. U. football team in 1913. Both teams are evenly matched and it will probably be a fast, hard game.
There is lots of interest in basketball this year. Almost a hundred persons, men and women, were waiting at the doors by seven o'clock Friday. The gymnasium was full-up by the time the game started and the rooting and cheering showed that the crowd was enthusiastic over the game.
Uncle Jimmy Green, known to athletic men as well as to all the students of the University, as "the grand old man of football" was disappointed to find that the game had been started two or three minutes before he arrived. He now looks forward to your future game before I got here for you?" was his remark. Uncle Jimmy never misses an athletic event when he is able to get out, and is for that reason beloved by every athlete and student in the University.
Chancellor Frank Strong was also on the sidelines cheering for the wearers of the Crimson and the Blue. He was being enough to enjoy seeing K. U, win.
Rudolph Ubriaub made one of the most sensational plays in the Normal game by dribbling the ball the entire length of the court and then bagging a basket—the crowd roared.
Karl Kaiser, Normal left guard,
played against his former school and
team-mates in the game last Friday.
Kaiser played on the Jayhawker five
two years ago, when the Jayhawkers
won the Missouri Valley championship.
He. He. He played against a
palmer Walter Kauder who
went in for Gibbens a little before
the close of the game. Both men are
from Halstead.
Tony James, captain of the 1915 football team, came down from Kansas City yesterday to visit with some of the "old boys" as he termed it. He says the hardest athletic exercise that he is taking now is bowling.
Missouri and Ames have split honors in their basketball clashes. Missouri took the first game by a score of 28 to 25, and Ames coped the second game 24 to 21. Kansas will play Ames Thursday and Friday.
The Aggies beat Washburn 71 to 5 Saturday night. This indicates that the Jayhawkers will have a little competition for the Missouri Valley conference. Kansas beat the Washburn five 55 to 9 in their opening game.
Cross, the Normal center, got the tip-off practically every time. He was the man to hit the basket, scoring sixteen of them in a forward last season and starred the same way that he did Friday, night.
The University of Illinois is planning to make a skating rink out of rocks located on a low piece of land and the plan appears to be quite feasible.
Laslett warmed up for the second period and went in for Nelson when he was taken from the game on account of four persons.
LOYAL KANSANS WILL SEE GAME
Des Moines Club to Greet Jayhawkers With Rock Chalk at Ames
Des Moines, Jan 15—Coach William Omar Hamilton's Jayhawker basketeers may get ready to stand a real honest-to-goodness "Rock-Chalk" when they tie out on the floor for Friday in the floor from Friday for their opening Conference game with the Iowa Cyclones.
Not that the Iowa Aggie roots are planning to show any unusual hospitality. The "Rock-Chalk" is going to come from real Jayhawker threats, most of them imported to Ames for the afternoon by the one hundred and twenty-nine members of the Kansas Club of Des Moines.
Last fall several score of the club members drifted over to Aggilieva and watched Coach Olcotts football warriors go down to defeat. Instead of being disgusted with Kansaas athletics the same bunch, with a number of recruits are planning to journey the forty miles again when the Kansas basketball teams invade Iowa, January 19
Hardly fifty per cent of the number ever went to a college in Kansas but anything with a Kansas label looks good to them. Among the 129, is the president of the largest university if it staffs a staff of the Des Moines Register, Iowa's latest newspaper, including both the city and telegraph editor.
The early season showing of Coach Walter's Annes five has been about as usual and even with last year's five Kansas should win handily from the Cyclones. With a fairly seasoned five such as Coach Hamilton is reported to be drilling around Robinson Gymnasium, the Kansans are looking forward to a very pleasant little junt over to Aggieville this time.

Kansas opened the scoring first with two field goals as soon as the whistle started the second half. At no stage in this session was there more than a bare two or three point margin separating the teams, although the Jayhawkers were on top all of the time.
The game was salt-and-peppered with fouls on both teams, Kansas being the greatest offender by having seventeen to the Normal's six.
The game ended at 36 to 27 in favor of Kansas.

In the first series of conference basketball games at Columbia, Mo., Ames played the Tigers to a draw, each team winning one game. The first game was won by the Tigers in the win over Camden, Captain Williams making a field goal and free throw. The second game was taken by the husky farmers by an equally close score. The strength Ames showed against Missouri makes the outcome of the Ames-Kansas game not better than Captain Williams five wins from Ames dope would give the Jayhawks a good lead over Missouri. Coach Hamilton was much pleased with the showing made by the boys against the Normals although the game was ragged in places. He is now an All-Star. Ames a good tussle in our first series of conference games at Ames Thursday and Friday.
