Track Prospects for 1925 Season Appear Promising
Coach Schlademan Looks for Kansas Strength in Jump Events and Dashes
With many of the last year's starts again on the track and the "aunts" full of good looking prospects, Kxrl Schlademan, head track coach, believes that the possibilities for the development this year of a good track team are good. Although many of the men have had little or no ouspex practice, Coach Schlademan feels confident that four months of training will develop the novices into poised track men.
"There is a lot of good material in this bunch of new men, but it is a matter of diligent training and consistent practice to get them in the proper shape for inter-callational man," said Coach Schubman.
K. U. Has Strong Team Although Kansas will miss even like Norton and Bradley, the team this year will offer strong competition in the sprints, and high and broad jumps. Cainius Merwin Grabowski, a Chicago Olympic men, will again represent Kansas in their respective events.
One of the most promising of the first-year track man is George Powers, the float-fetched varsity end, who is working on the quarter-mile run. Powers does the quarter now in about fifty-three seconds, but with the timing, according to Coach Schuldeman, he will be able to cut this down.
Need Weight Men
So far as Cole Schlademan is able to tell, Kansas will be strong in the high and the broad jumps, which will be two almost certain winners in the Valley. In the sprints and quarter, the hurdles, the half-fire, the one and two mile runs, and the Inweight Kesawan will be in the weight events little material has showed up to make the prospects look bright. However, Conch Schlademan believes that more true material will try out after the first week of what he hopes that some wonderful will appear.
In the Kansas Relays again twin in year Kansas will do the utmost to capture a first in the relay race, one of the disappointing events in Kansas in last year's Rehna. "A bigger team than we have," he says, making our prospects for a superior relay队 much better," said Conch Schadman.
The freshmen who have appeared so far are the best looking first-year men to try out in four years, according to the coach. This fact insures a bright future for the Jahewayh track team for at least three years. Very little work has been done so far this year in actual running. Ms. Reilly said "getting the 'running muscles' limbered up. Those who are out for the first time are rapidly learning the fundamentals of the track."

Tennis Enjoyed Its Most Active and One of Its Most Interesting Seasons in 1924
(United Press)
New York, Dec. 18—Tennis enjoyed its most active and one of its most interesting seasons in 1924. Competition in the established classes was much more representative entries than have ever competed before for the international championships. International competition also was hosted by the journey of a large and replayable game between Bledsoe and the Olympic games in Paris.
Three events stood out as the big features of the busy season. They were the defeat of Miss Helen Wills, the American champion, at Wimbledon; the default of Mile. Szuaren Longen from the world's championship the smashing victory of the American team in the Olympic matches.
Miss Wills started very poorly after having spent several weeks in London trying to get acclimated and to change her game to conform with an unfamiliar ball and strange turf. She also succeeded in doing neither.
In her first appearance as the star of the American women's team in the Wightman Cup matches at Wimbledon, she was defeated by Mrs. Nancy Covall, an ordinary player, and she also lost her second match to the United States with the American women were lost and they had the cup taken away from them when the British team, won the cup tournament.
The following week the young American champion, who was not in the least disturbed by her surprising defenses, steadily improved her game and she had very little difficulty in reaching the rounds of the British championship. She was in fine form up to her final match against Miss McKane when she blew up suddenly when she was within just a few points of the championship. The British girl received with a great rally when Miss Wilia wobbled on her game and she beat her American and won the championship.
The team was in fine form in the Olympic matches and they scored a clean sweep by winning first five places and one second in six events. Miss Wills won the singles and doubles championship with Mrs.
Pierce Recalls 1891 Game
Municipalities Secretary in First Turkey Fray
Captain of the first team that ever played a Thanksgiving game with Kansas, is the honor belonging to Paula, as the league's League of Municipalities, it was discovered while Mr. Pierce was attending the meeting of the secretaries of state leagues here last week. This game was between Iowa State's Dana Meyer and Kansas giving day, 1891, in Kansas City, Kansas came out on the long end of a score of 14-12. The following year the game was played in Lawrence and the score was 82-0 in favor of Mr. Pierce did not play that year.
Mr. Pierce played the position of quarter 'back which usually is filled by a light fast man, now. Some one remarked that this was a queer possession, but Pierce is nearly in the 200 pound class. The reason for this is that in the early days of the game the whirling wedge formation was used and the weight of the players rather than the speed was the important factor.
"Cross Word Puzzle Better Than Quiz"
Mr. Pierce is also the oldest worker in the municipal field having been in the work in Iowa for many years.
Mr. Jones, who is in almost daily touch with various teachers in the schools of Evanston, Wilmette, and Chicago, believes that a simple problem on a certain subject could be devised and utilized at examination time instead of the old and ardently detected "examus."
The Northwestern professor said that no feature of a sounder, invigorating nature, educationally speaking, is the same as attention aimed at American newspapers.
Professor Elmer E. Jones, director of the school of education at Northwestern University believes in the educational value of the cross-word puzzle. He has a plan for utilizing it in the connection with the education department. "At Northwestern in our regular examinations of students, we are at present using one of the principal features of the cross-word puzzle," said Professor done. "Instead of asking a question direct, we, as an example, ask the student to check off the one needed in a certain sentence."
George Wightman and young Vinnie Richards won the singles title and the doubles with Frank Hunter.
The American team was again successful in defending the Cup Challenge, but they had no chance who had done the final round of the eliminations from the young French-player team.
The apparent decline of Bill Johnston, the California star, and one of America's Davis Cup mainstays, was another storking development of the sport. The 1968 race, rifle beating by Bill Tiden in the final round of the American championships at Forest Hills and it is quite possible that his poor form shown in earlier tournament may cost him a place on the American ranking list.
As Johnston seems to have startled fading, young Vinnie Richarda started his first real improvement as one of the sensations of the season.
Tilden, of course, retained his American championship, which could be claimed as a world's championship this year because of the number and class of the foreign entries. The champion, however, did not play in many of the other established tournaments, and was with the higher-ups of the game.
The row between Tilden and the United States Lawn Tennis Association was the big political feature of the year. The association accepted a new interpretation of the amatur rule prohibiting players from writing for newspapers "for substantial compensation."
Tilden claimed that a tennis player could be an amateur and still do newspaper work, claiming that in his case he had done newspaper work before being named the tennis star. The association, however, did not agree with him and it ruled that if he continued to write after Jan. 1, 1925, he would be declared ineligible for amateur competition. Tilden found some supporters on its website who said that the result resulted with a lot of dirt being thrown back and forth. The association then appointed a committee consisting of Sen. George Pepper, Grantian Rice, and Deveneum Curtis should be done about Tilden's case.
Between 300 and 409 copies of the Oradage magazine have been sold since the sale opened Monday morning. "At although there are so many ways for students to spend their money at this season of the year, and sales are increasing," she said. "Many copies as we expected," said Steve Merrill, business manager.
The sale will continue all day Thursday. All copies of the magazine unsealed by then must be checked in Thursday night at the latest.
