New Track Coach Inspires Interest in Cross Country Huff Will Give Distance Running More Than the Customary Attention
Cross-country this year at Kansas is to be an up-to-the-minute sport if Dr. H.J. Huff, in charge of track athletics succeeds in his ambitions for that activity. He is soon to make a call for candidates for cross-country and ex-communists have at least 50 men trying out for the sport within the next ten days.
While cross-country has been lested as a sporting activity at K, U, for a number of years there have been competitive meets in the long distance running, it has never been given the prominence which many schools and sections believe it deprives. Doctor Gavin has set out to remedy that situation.
"It seems to me that I should have at least 3 per cent of the men student body for cross-country if I were to play in it, but most are in sport here," Doctor Huff said yesterday in discussing cross-country prospects. The sport affords a reason why he is so keen on the desire of attaining athletic prowess, but who are for good reasons unsuitable for football or other sports, to show their ambition and ability on the field.
Cross country has often been regarded as a gruelling sport and it is no doubt that some men have been injured while participating in crosscountry. It is never, under the direction of a tommotrainer trainer with Doctor Ruff, it presents a fine chance for a wider participation in athletics here and at the same time it is a great aid and to the benefit in the way of a physical developer.
Members of the factions who have been pushing the idea of "a real competitive sport for every student" will come near to me in this discussion, as this development of cross-country work than by any other method now open to them.

Intra-Mural Events Will Be Advanced This Year
Intra-mural athletics will be kept to the front this year as they were last and will probably be advanced to an even more important position in the sport life of the University. John Sabp, assistant coach, is again in active charge of intra-mural athletics, and has already perfected his plans in regard to the fall sports. He will be coached by an interested in strictly school competition will be brought together in organizing the system.
Announcements of schedules for fall competition between University organizations will be made from time to time and it is probable that some of the competitive units will be made in the near future.
List of Men's Rooms Appears in This Issue to Aid New Students
Boarding Clubs Also Published Additions and Corrections Made to Names
The list of men's roaming houses published in this issue of the University Daily Kannan has been brought completely up-to-date and many additional places to room have been added. The list was first published on the Saturday issue of the Kannan with students in locating a room with the minimum of effort. The list is now "complete with the exception of only
the most recent changes. A list of the boarding clubs for both men and women in Lawrence is also included with the list of rooms.
Efforts were made to secure the list for roaming place, available for women students but it was impossible to get it in shape for either of the earlier issues of the paper. It was thought at first that it would be come easy to put a list on this was found to be impracticable.
Roaming room owners are asked to notify the office of the Y. M. C. A. as soon as rooms are filled so that it will be possible to bring the list up to date and avoid any mistakes or further listing.
Publication of the list has caused the Kannan considerable expense and trouble and it is hoped that students will find that reference to the list has added them in recurring desirable lists.
The Kannan is anxious to know whether the student feel that publication of such a list is worth while, and student opinions regarding the practice are requested. The paper will be placed to publish a similar list and a new considerable number of students

Birmingham, England, Sept. 12. - The secret of turning tropical grasses and other fibrous substances into clothes to wear is believed to have been solved by Dr. Dishaw Nanjil of Birmingham University. The fabrics, if commercially successful, may take the place of cotton in the regions where large supplies of grimes are used. The materials and interesting material may be developed for wearing apparel and for other uses.
