NUMBER 145.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSASMONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 4, 1914.
THREE K. U. RECORDS BROKEN
Captain Hazen Clips Second Off 120 Yard Time—Reber Shatters Shot and Discuss Distances
The Kansas track squad ran away from the Cornhuskers of Nebraska on McCook field Friday afternoon, 67 to 12. The men that was Kansas all were not all. There was a better resistance than was expected. In the running events, the Kansans outclassed their opponents, but the Jayhawkers were weak in the field games. The meet started at 10 a.m., and the events were pulled off rapidly.
- Three Kansas records were broken at the meet. Captain Haze nipped a second off his record in the 120-yards hurdles when he crossed the tape in 15 2-5 seconds. Bonnie Brewer threw the shot 42 ft. and 5% inches and shattered his week-of-record game. Aaron more than hurled the disc 117 ft. and 8 inches, breaking Amorons' record by two inches.
Dan Hazen was the individual star of the meet. He won two firsts and two seconds for K. U., scoring 16 points. Meyers, the husky Cornushear weight man, won two firsts and two seconds with Reber and Hilton with 8 points each tied for third place on the Kansas honor roll.
The meet was decidedly one-sided but several events were close. The hundred yards dash was completed in 10 seconds flat. Hazen won two pretty hurdle races and the mile event was the best of the meet. The Jayhawkers didn't get a look at the pault vault and were weak in the heat. They shot half-mile, low hurdles, the shot put, half-mile, low hurdles, and the mile.

Blackmar, who is assisting in the work, "but that impression vanishes as soon as the method of making a survey is understood. In the Lawrence survey, a complete inventory will be made which will show in images, just what the condition of the city is. Every citizen who is really interested in making Lawrence a better place in which to live will readily see the benefit of an honest inspection of the city."
The majority of the residents, accounted to Professor Blackmar, are young, white, and Christian.

HOWE SAYS POOR PAY
BIGGEST SHARE OF TAX
That the poor are taxed more heavily than the wealthier classes of people and that so long, as our tax system is run on the political rather than a business basis our people have less power to burden the answer of S. T. Howe, chairman of the State Tax Commission and Vice-president of the National Tax Association, expressed in the last of the series of lectures of the department of economics, Thursday in the Administration Building.
"The rights of the individual must give way to the interest of the public" said Mr. Howe, "We should have a method of taxation that would give to every one the proper burden of taxation."

EIGHTY DOLLARS STOLEN FROM HAMILTON'S OFFICE
Sum Left on McCook by Manager
Taken Friday Night—$10
Reward Offered
Eighty-two dollars were stolen face on McCook field. Friday night,
The lock was pried off the office door and the locker in which the money was placed was broken open. The robbery was discovered Satur- day when workmen found the office open on their arrival at the field.
All but about $20.00 of the amount was taken in at the Nebraska-Kansas track meet Friday afternoon and as it was too late to get in the bank Mr. Hamilton decided to leave it in the car before leaving left there and for that reason no thought was given to a possible robbery,
In speaking of the loss Manager Hamilton said: "It was the first time since I have been manager of athletics that I have ever left any money in my possession, mostly in silver and we were going to the Sophomore Hop I did not want to carry it with me and thought the office would be a safer place than my house. Whoever got the money was well accused, but I knew that I had lost the money there and that I would not return for it."
The only clue there is to work on is the thief's knowledge of the surroundings and the large amount of silver that he has in his possession. Mr. Hamilton has offered a reward of $10.00 to anyone furnishing information that will lead to the conviction of the guilty party.
