PROSPECTS GOOD FOR BIG SEASON
Captain Rodkey Says Kansas Looks Good In Missouri Valley Track Work
IS STRONG IN DISTANCES
Sprints Look Better Than Last Year—Weak in Hurdles and Pole Vault
Prospects for a successful track team are unusually promising this year at Kansas. "Done" predicts the team's way it speaks thus far in the season.
Kansas is stronger in the sprints than it has been in the last two years. There is a weakness in the hurdles with no "K" men back but plenty of good material is available. The high and broad jump events are wonderfully strong. And in distance races Kansas is so strong that he took tools slummed when Darwin Pattinson failed to return but he is expected the second semester
in the sprints, Davidson, O'Leary, Dillon, Rustenback and Haddock, are the possible entries. Haddock will not however be allowed to participate as a Varsity runner as he has not had the chance to play in any which is required. He was at Polytech Junior College at Kansas City last year.
Hurdles—that favorite event of Bob Simpson, Missouri star—has not a very large following at Kansas but plenty of promise is shown in Cress, who played on both Barclay, Barclay and Seward will try the high sticks.
Grutzmacher, Trewekue, Rice, Miller and Johnson are the hopes of the track team in high and broad jumps. These are all old men with plenty of experience. Trewekue has the further experience of a trip to Pennsylvania where he got in the finals but failed to place.
And then comes distance. Captain Rodkey, Couchman, Murphy, Dillon, Holden, and O'Leary are the possible men in middle distance. But they're sure, not possible. In long distance Cargill Sproull, Stateler, Groene, Welish and Howland present a fortable bunch.

Reber, the weight events suffered but little. Dick Small, combined with the efforts of Zeigler, Haddock and Vern-
son will help to uphold the doings of Kansas this season in discus and shot put. Haddock was the best weight in high school in the valley from Polytech.
There are freshmen galore going out for the team. At least they showed up well in the inter-class meets. Rodkey's brother is mighty promising and shows a great prospect of following in his brother's footsteps. He hurdles and dash men are included in this bunch of freshmen. Marshall from Kansas City is another weight man from high school who looks good.
Real practice will start shortly after the Thanksgiving vacation, with practically the whole squand regularly at work. The team for the coming season shows a very complete and well-structured work but Cainat Rodkey is optimistic about the outcome. "Missouri, Nebraska and Ames are the teams that we will have to look out for," said Captain Rodkey today.

expresses a feeling of contented happiness. One of the customs that lingered in the good old New England households until the middle of the last
century was to lay five grains of corn upon the plate of every person at the table in memory of a day in early colonial history when five ships came sailing into harbor just in time to drive away the specter of famine. Thus content was expressed by the New Englanders thru a sincere custom.
EVERY PORTRAIT photographed by SQUIRES carries with it a distinct inspiration of contented satisfaction. That is the reason for SQUIRES' being the most popular studio among K. U. students—and the official photographer for the "Jayhawker."
