Scraped from Boards At the Indoor Track
"Since the Kansan printed a story about our getting wholesale custard for desert at the training table, we have not missed it once," said Fred Rodkey yesterday. "Before that we weren't getting any desert at all, but now Tony James dishes up a wholesome custard every day."
Rodkey believes in the power of the press.
Clarridge formerly attended the Oklahoma Agricultural College and was a member of the track team there. His favorite distance is the hundred which he has covered in ten games. He is greatly under the tutelage of "Bill" Hayward, assistant coach of the last American Olympic games squad.

CHANCELLOR OPPOSED TO PROFESSIONAL ATHLETICS
Dr. Strong, in Saturday Evening Post Article, Would Hold to Standard Set by Authorities
Run Race for Breakfast
Run Race for Breakfast
Two students of Drake University ran a race one day last week to determine which man was the best in long distance running. The winner received a stack of cakes for his breakfast and what the loser got he had to pay for.
To ascertain the sentiment of college heads regarding summer baseball participation by college amateurs, Casper Whitney, the Saturday Twening Post writer, quotes heads of many institutions as opposed to professionalism among the university athletes.
Chancellor Frank Strong, in a long statement pleads for the strict adherence to the rules set down by the软体 authorities. T Chancellor says:
"The pressure toward commercializing or professionalizing all athletics is very strong. Unfortunately just now it is showing itself particularly in connection with summer baseball because we have already have college baseball assume a commercial or professional aspect, and if our college baseball must become permanently tinkered with that its best players take part in professional games during the summer, then it is very likely to follow that college baseball will be abolished as an intercollegiate sport; in fact, according to the press dispatches, that already happened in other of the important universities of the Mt. West.
"In many respects baseball is one of the most available of amateur games. Unlike football, anyone can play it without danger of injury, and it is an interesting and valuable game for the unskilled as well as the skilled. What the effect would be on college sports is difficult to tell; it might lead to the total cessation of baseball in our colleges and universities. That this would affect our great national game there is little doubt. On the other hand, it is possible that it might lead to a revival of the unstested and untested amateur players who no longer have to worry about their positions on an intercollegiate team.
"The main trouble with commercializing a sport is that it makes necessary a formal establishment to carry it on. There must be coaches and they must be paid larger and larger salaries. They must have the games game that uses the pressure get better coaches increases. The pressure to get players who are more skilled is very great. Men must be imported if the rules can be evaded, and one is soon in an endless circle that leads to a great overac-
centration of intercollegiate sport. This whole matter raises the question: Is this a tendency in our sports to cause the abolition of all intercollegiate athletics and with it coaches and the whole formal athletic establishment? I fear it, and would seek to avoid it by keeping our athletes on an amateur basis. I would like to be able to keep them as kept by amateur sport, free from all professionalism."
HIGH SCHOOLS CATCH THE
K. U. DRAMATIC SPIRIT
The enthusiasm with which University students are going out for dramatic art appears to be contagious. High schools inquired for more plays during January than during the last three months of 1914. The play department of the extension division was given permission to play January whereas only twenty-eight were received during December 1914. There were seventy-eight plays recommended by the division during December and during January, 150 were approved by the extension division and schools were advised to twenty-five copies. One hundred and five copies of farces were sent out as samples.
Among the most favored of high school plays are "Mr. Bob," "Esmeralda," and "The Merchant of Venice" up to date.
