VAULTER RETURNS NEXT SEMESTER
Pattinson, Record Holder, Will Compete for Jayhawkers Again This Year
SQUAD INCREASES DAILY
Weights and Jumps Attract New Men—Distance Men Going Good
It was reported as almost certain this morning that Darwin Pattinson, star pole vaulter of last year's track team, would be back in school next semester. This will help fill what appeared to be a big hole in the team camp at Campbell, graduated last year. Pattinson did not like the opportunities offered at Manhattan and he will probably be able to get into shape for the Aggle meet early in February. He broke the K. U. pole vault record last year in the outdoor meet with a leap of 11 feet 8½ inches.
More men are coming out every afternoon for track work. If any new men expect to get into the Normal meet they will have to start work by bringing a pair of short pants prominently on the team for a man to make good is at the pole vault.
It is probable that five or six "K's will be awarded new men for the first time this year. The "Ks" are usually awarded to men placing second in a Missouri Valley Conference meet or to a man scoring one or more points in the Western Conference meets. The Nebraska is generally considered the easiest of the Conference meets for Kansas.
Wint Smith is the latest addition to the weight squad. He worked out yesterday with Small, Buffington, an old cross country man, is the third man now trying out for the mile. Welsh and Howland will also try the mile run along the course in the back man back for the mile run this year. Several times last season he came close to breaking the K. U. record in this event, running under the record twice. In the Valley and Western conference meets he ran under the record but failed to win. Conference meet he negotiated the distance in 4:26:4 which is considerably under the K. U. record of 4:31:1.

Polity Club Initiates Four
"Students who have not entered their names as contestants are not eligible to submit their plays," Prof. Arthur MacMurray, of the department of public speaking, said this morning.
Four new men were initiated into the International Polity Club at its meeting last night at the Phi Kappa house. The new members are: Nazareth Boyjian, Dick Holloway, Earl Crawford, C. E. Bailey. The subject under discussion last night was "Proposal for a League to Enforce Peace," Tied Richer and F. C. Stuewe were the principal speakers of the event and visited his visits to other International Polity Clubs during his Christmas vacation.
Final Gym Exams
The final examination in the men's sophomore gymnasium class will be given Tuesday. Each student will be required to give three exercises on the mat and three on the bars. They will be graded on difficulty and form.
Krauthoff Lecture Today
Edwin A. Krauthoff, of Kansas City, lectured this afternoon at 2 in Green Hail on "Uniform State Law."
The "daily lowan" prints a schedule of the sort of dances which are to be danced at the week-end student dances. They are dancing the waltz, fox-trot, and one-step at Ames, the one-step being the most popular.
STRYKER, E18, W1H. STUDY
UNDER TWENHOFEL AGAIN
Milburn Stryker, e18, leaves Friday for Madison, Wisconsin, to enroll in the Badger school next semester. He wishes to take geology under Professor Twenhofen, who left K. U. Milburn at the university at the University of Wisconsin.
Stryker played Varsity football this fall. He has done considerable work in geology, and for the purpose of his research for various oil companies in Kansas.
SPORT BEAMS
The band has a new stand built at the east end of the gymnasium to use during the basketball season.
Stewart, the Washburn left guard, took a pretty fall when Gibbens dodged away from his huge opponent.
Another Washburn player rushed down on Lytle and was so surprised at not finding him in the same position that he also hit the floor.
Scrubby Laslett plays basketball the same way he plays football; for all that he is worth, was the way one spectator put it.
Hope appeared to be the cleverest Washburn player. Hope is an old Topoka high school player and played on the Washburn football team this
The Uhrlaub twins look so much alike that the average spectator can tell them apart only by the numbers on their backs.
Lindsey set the crowd roaring with his football tactics in the few minutes that he played in the last period.
Referee Hopes, the popular West- port high school coach did some fine dodging during the early part of the second period.
Hope and Whitehead did all of the scoring for Washburn, Whitehead making five points in the first period and Hope scoring four in the only period in which he played, the last one.
The selection of football captains for the next season is rather interesting to note because the preference runs 2 to 1 in favor of the lineen. The most popular are the ends, tackles coming a close second, and then the guards. Halfbacks and quarterbacks fills rather evenly in the backfield. Not a center is named among the fifty of the better known schools of the country.
The armory at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill., is huge. It has a floor space of 107,000 square feet. All indoor track meet teams are held here on a cinder track which is ten feet wide and one-third the width of a straightway of seventy-five yards for dashes. All track events except the hammer, disc, and javelin can be held in this great building. Locker rooms and showers make the building as suitable as the outdoor gymnasium or arranged with spectators. The Illinois track and baseball teams are now using it for winter practice.
Prof. U. G. Mitchell of the department of mathematics lectures in Nortonville, Monday night, and in Springwood, night on "A Budget of Paradoxes."
Offer Fencing Course
The K. U. Fencing Club, under the direction of Dr. Lena Hoernig, will offer a course in fencing at 4:30 o'clock Mondays and Wednesdays next semester. An enthusiastic class has been making considerable progress under Dr. Hoernig's instruction this fall.
Any student interested in this work is invited to join. Gymnasium credit will be given for consistent work.

The Kansas Normal goal tossers are considered much better than the Washburn five and the game promises to be more sensational and faster than the game last night with the forwards. The Kansas quintet last season by a score of 36 to 25, and it is understood that Coach Hargill expects to repeat.

Tomorrow and Saturday - PAULINE FREDERICK in "THE SLAVE MARKET"
The next game on the Jayhawker basketball schedule is Friday night in Robinson Gymnasium with the fast Kansas Normal five from Emporia.
NORMAL QUINTET VS. K. U. FRIDAY
Teachers Expect to Show a Faster Game Than Did the Ichabods
The K. U. team is in great shape after its Washburn game and Friday's contest will probably be fast and hard fought. It will take a good combination of guards on the opposing team to keep Gibbens and R. Uhrhrau on the offensive line and basket. E. Uhrhrau is a first class jumper at center and uses lots of headwork. Lytle and Captain Nelson are good at breaking up passes which ability they displayed in the game last night. Besides having lots of fast floor ability and team-work the players also have all capable of connecting with the basket when within a reasonable range.
Culter and Cross of the Normal five are expected to star for the Teachers tomorrow night. They are said to be a fast, shifty set of forwards, and will probably step into prominence in the game here Friday. At present the Normal school holds the basketball championship and all high school varsity super teams in the Teachers conference. The game with the Kansas five will not count in the Teachers conference games, however.
Coach Hargiss has been quoted as saving that he would like to win from
K. U. His desire may be gratified, but all of the Jayhawker fans are unanimous in their conclusion that he will have to play some mighty fast, shifty and headly basketball if he does. He will bring all of the Normal basketteers along and will probably use more than five of them in the game.
Teachers games show that the Teachers have beaten the Kansas quintet but two times in the eight games which have been played since 1903. During these games Kansas has won four of the nine games against the Teachers. The first game which the Teachers won was the one played in the 1903-4 season.
The records of previous Jayhawker-
the lineup for the Normal game probably will be the same as the one which started the Washburn game; Leon D. Gibbens, right forward; Rudolf R. Uhrlaub, left forward; Ernst A. Uhrlaub, center; Captain Fat Nelson, right guard; and Harold H. Lytle, left guard.
