RELAY TEAM WINS
DES MOINES 2-MILE
Jayhawkers Also Finish Second Only to Chicago In Mile
"PAT" MAKES HALF IN 2:02
In Mile Relay Edwards Runs Quar ter in 50 3-5—Tigers Have Hard Luck
Twenty minutes after this race the one-mile relay was called and Patterson and Edwards were again called upon to perform. They responded nobly. Chicago University won this event in the record time of 3.27, but the sturdy Kansans finished second, only two seconds behind, and then ran was composed of Patterson, Edwards, Cissana, and Black. Edwards ran his quarter in the remarkable time of 50 3-5 seconds.
The Kansas relay teams showed up well at Des Moines Saturday afternoon in the annual relay games at the Iowa cital, capturing eight points by winning the two-mile race, and grabbing second in the one-mile run. The eight points scored nearly won the meet but Drake also scored eight tallies.
The Jayhawkers won the two mile race with ease, finishing 50 yards ahead of the nearest competitor. Captain Patterson, Black, Davis and Edwards ran and had everything their own way. On top of this they established a new record for that year. In 2020, Patterson ran his half in 2.02.
One regrettable accident which marred the afternoon fun was the injury to Hutseell, the Tiger quarter-miler who was so badly shaken up by a fall, that the Missourians could not finish that race. In the two-mile the Tigers showed up poorly.
HOP A JOYOUS AFFAIR -- $30 IN THE HOLE
But 200 Couples Agree Soph
omore Blow-Out Was
Scrumpious
The orchestra ordered didn't come, the spot light was absent, the blackface cabaret quartet was sometimes out of tune, and the financial managers went 'in the hole' about $30, but the 200 couples at the Sophomore Hop last Friday night all agreed it was worth it.
The Farce made a big hit, with Crummy Williamson in the lead acting naturally.
The management is considering a plan of giving a dance some time in the near future to make up the deficit.

K. U. PIANIST AT ANNUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL
Harold Henry Is Widely Known For His Interpretation of MacDowell
Harold Henry, who appears in concert this week with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, is probably the most successful graduate from the University's music department in many years.
After spending three years in Europe with such masters as Jeditiska and Moszkowski he gave the opening recital of his career in Lawrence, and later located in Chicago, where he has since resided.
At first he taught in conservatories, but he has now become established as a private teacher. He
has given several recitals here already but this year he is to be heard for the first time with orchestral accompaniment.
Henry is enthusiastically devoted to American music and will play a concerto by the American master MacDowell. Mrs. MacDowell, widow of the composer, recently invited him to play one of the composer's large works before the MacDowell Society at its summer headquarters at Peterboro, Vt. He is widely known as an interpreter of MacDowell.

BOARD MOVES COURSE FROM K. S. A.C. HERE?
Regents to Shift Manhattan Printing Department to K. U. Says Salina Union
MAKES CHANGES IN CLASSES
Professors Must Teach a Certain Number of Students Unless Given Special Permission
The Salina Union printed the following Saturday evening under a Topeka dateline:
The first step toward carrying out its policy of stopping the duplication of courses of study in the state educational institutions was taken today when the state board of administration announced that two courses that have heretofore been taught at the state agricultural college at Manhattan will be discontinued at the end of the present school year. The courses discontinued are those in cabinet making and printing. The instruction in cabinet making at Manhattan has been ordered discontinued and taken up at the Pittsburg Normal, Normal,plymouth a part of the work of the Manual Training Normal, under the board's policy. The printing course has been but a feeder for the school of industrial journalism at Manhattan and the board will also discontinue this branch of work at the Agricultural college as soon as practical, it having been concluded that these courses should be taught only at the school of journalism in connection with the state University at Lawrence.
"It has also been decided that all manual training courses will be abolished at the state Normal school at Emporia and that the Pittsburg school shall be the only state institution giving normal instruction in manual training. This action will stop the rivalry between the Emporia and Pittsburg schools and will give each its distinct field."
The Daily Kansan was unable to get into communication with the board today to verify the story since the board is meeting at Pittsburg. Chancellor Strong has not heard of the proposed change.
Another change that will probably affect the work in state educational institutions was also announced by the Board Friday. It ruled that hereafter classes in state educational institutions must contain at least 18 freshmen, 12 sophomores, and 7 juniors and seniors before the board would consider employing a professor for that class, unless otherwise given special permission by the board.
This ruling will not affect graduate work, according to Chancellor Strong.
