PUTNAM ISSUES LAST NOTICE ON RESERVE "K'S"
Men Who Mutilated Letter Warned To Restore Same
At Once
...
It is definitely known that certain athletes to whom the reserve "K" has been granted have inadvertently or otherwise removed the qualifying letters from the insignia and are now wearing the red "K" alone. This is directly opposed to the spirit in which the reserve letters were given and is an injustice to "K" men.
"If the men do not replace these mutilated letters at once their names will be announced openly through thecolumns of the Kansan, and their letters will be taken away from them.
Prof. George E. Putnam, chairman of the "K" committee of the Athletic Board, is considerably wrought up over the action of the men who have torn the smaller letters off the refrigerator "K" sweaters given them last fall. He said, in an interview with Kansan reporter, this morning.
All such offenders are hereby warned that unless the original insignia are restored immediately and completely their reserve letters will be withdrawn by the Athletic Board and public announcement of the same.
...
"I wish the Kansas to print its article of yesterday upon the matter of reserve "KS" again in the form of a notice. This will positively be the last warning to men who have mutilated their "KS" to restore them, or have instructed the notice plain enough for athletes, students, and faculty to see it.
"The K'S" were given out by the "Athletic Board as a mark of consideration for the men's services, and to cut away the reserve letters is simply to abuse an open mark of consideration. This is final."

In the afternoon comes the Engineers' annual track and field meet on McCook. The number of entries this year is larger than that of former years and a strong contest is looked for. The number of events in which they compete must be high and each contestant must enter from the school in which he is enrolled.
There will be medals for places in the regulation events and prizes of merchandise in other contests. An exciting race is promised in the spectacular relay, which is warranted to be worth the price of ad- laureance Kimlear and C J. Hainbach have charge of the track meet.
