UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
OFFERS FOUR CUPS FOR FRESH TRACK MATERIAL
Te be Awarded in Competition Monday to Men Not Now on Squad
In an effort to bring out material in the four events where Kansas track performers seem the weakest, Manager W. O. Hamilton this morning announced that he would offer four cups to be contested for in the high jump, 50-yard dash and love race who is not now on the track team, will be eligible for this competition.
The four events will take place at 4 o'clock Monday and entries will be received by Manager Hamilton up to two weeks prior. The new members of the squad by virtue of other events may enter these special events and compete for the cups, that is, a Varsity pole vaulter for example, could compete in a hurdle race or a
To get the men into better condition for the dual meet with the Tiger cubs from Jungletown, Manager Hamilton has erected a track on the open space on McCook field. It is fifty yards in length and may be used for hurdling and sprinting. One of the causes of the good condition of
the Missourians at the present time is the fact that they have been working on a similar track whenever the weather permitted. Fresh air, and lots of it, serve to keep the athlete in better competition. They keep the indoor grind and the next two weeks should work wonders with the Jayhawker squad.
It appears to the close student of the track situation that the coming meet is going to be full of uncertainties. The Tiger coaches did not show a full hand at the K. C. A. C. meet and it is up to the Kansas students to show a great burst of interest and ability.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE TO START OUT ON FRIDAY
Buster Coolidge to Return From Smith Center to Assist Coaches in Workouts
Unless our friend Jupiter Pluvius changes his mind and prolongs his long-standing visit to Jayhawk's land, longstanding visitors include Fridays Friday afternoon, March 5, at 4 o'clock. In addition to Coach Jay Bond, the familiar faces of Buster Coolidge and Bill Hill will greet you as they gamble over the green surrounding McCook.
Buster, a crack end and halfback of past seasons, is in business at Smith Center, but finds that he will be able to spend the greater part of the spring in Lawrence, and will assist with the coaching. Weidlein helped McCarty with the conditioning of the freshmen last fall.
Manager Hamilton is on hand each day to check out athletic paraphernalia to the aspirants. Jay Bond lionets about the floors of Robinson each day will be glad to talk over the situation with the prospective candidates.

should be encouraged in knowing that the growth of industry, and the modern striving after efficiency, open a broad way of opportunity to the able mechanical engineer. He is always in demand. His position is often one of large responsibility. He is well paid.
A four-year course in mechanical engineering with the advantages of fully equipped shops and laboratories, prepares the student to enter this broad field under the best conditions.

Sport Hash
Once more the athletic management showed the proper attitude by providing competent football coaches to direct the work. Those of us who do not survive the first cut of a squad, can not but benefit by the experience gained under such men as Bond, Coollidge and Weildlein.
The football team needs new blood. Several veterans of the last season are gone, though even if they were all back, their status remains for now men. It is significant that the last "classy" K. U. football team was the one which went through the spring practice routine, the Varsity, under the leadership *Please.*
Every man in the University with an iota of red blood in his veins will have an excellent opportunity of displaying the fact by joining the football or track squads this week. Both need new material—the track team more immediately because they meet the Tiger rivals within two weeks.
Manager Hamilton has shown the proper spirit in giving the men a material object to work for. Any of the four cups intended as a symbol of nothing or the good accruing to the team as the result of more competition in the various events.
Missouri is going to depend on a young man named Simpson to a very great extent in the coming meet with Edwards' long legged Jayhawkers. If he can come through with what the Jungle City natives think him capable of doing, he will be much less nervous of being the most prolific point scorer of the mast. This will be the lad's first big college meet but he shouldn't be in the least nervous about it for he has been competing in fast company for a considerable period of time. He is the same chap who pressed Hazel to the head of the box, the high barriers. Tigers claim that he is a good spinner, low hurdler and high jumper in addition, but no human unit can be expected to enter all these events and do justice. No doubt Schute is figuring pretty closely in an effort to place Simpson where he will be most pointed. While Kansas doesn't wish Simpson any hard luck, it really would please us if the Missouri mandarin were to be guilty of a mistake in judgment.
"The laugh is on the K. C. A. C. people," said Manager Hamilton in discussing the final relay at Saturday's indoor meet. Jack Grever, the man who instructed William O., is the man who instructed Rodkey to tear after Cowman without waiting for the touch. Grover wanted to see the race, probably thinking that the former Rolla champion would回来 the Kanans, so told Rodkey to tear out.
K. C. A. C. wanted to win the relay very much and had enlisted the aid of Davis of Fairmount for his quartet. This was in strict disobedience to all A. A. U. rules for Davis of Fairmount, but Davis for his college, whereas the rules say that a college man may not compete for both a club and a college during a period of nine months while college is in session. Hence it is readily seen why Biley was so wrought when he died in a comedy instead of a K. C. A. C. triumph. And Mr. Davis may hear more of the matter later.

University Women to Provide Beds and Meals in Gymnasium for Visiting Girls
Interest already manifested by high schools throughout the state indicates that the eight annual High School Basketball Tournament to be held in Robinson Gymnasium March 26 and 27 will be the largest in the state. W. O. Hamilton is daily receiving inquiries from over the state asking for information on the tournament and on entrance qualifications.
the big feature of last year's meet was the large number of girls' teams which participated and this year the management expects at least 200 girls to take part. Special arrangements are being made by Dr. Alice Goetz to turn Robinson Gymnasium into a recreational for the female players and if the present plans are carried out the girls will be requested to stay there. Meals will be served by the department of domestic science.
