"Phog" Allen Makes K. U. Relays Speech Over Radio WDAI
Appeals to All Alumni to Make the Events Their Yearly Homecoming
"Phog" Allen in a radio speech last night over WDAF told the Kansas Relays to the people of the United States. He painted a picture of one of the greatest events in 1924 so that anyone listening in was convinced of this year's Kansas Relays as being one of the greatest of the times.
He appealed to the alumni of K. U. to make this event their spring homecoming. He reminded them that in the fall, he would play football games the Hill had taken on its winter clok of somber hue, but now the fresh green of spring has taken the darker coat away from the hillside and is a beautiful flowers and green grass
Doctor Allen asked his listeners to visualize the map of the United States and from the west coast to the east, to illustrate that he had taken Lawrence, Kan. After these lines had been drawn, he asked them to sit and look at the picture thus presented. This, Doctor Allen told them, was an example of the attitude of the second Kansas Relays.
The Kansas Relays are the first big spring event and the athletes who compete in these events will also be the athletes who will go across the water to support Uncle Sam in the Olympics next summer.
In closing, Doctor Allen mentioned the fact that there were fifty-six daily trains, good roads leading out of Lawrence in every direction, and urged everyone to come for the events.
Not only will people get to see great athletes perform, but they will also have a chance to see the work of the greatest coaches of the United States.

A tentative schedule for the meet of the Missouri Valley Debate League was discussed by the debate coaches at a meeting of the Missouri Valley Oratorial Association in St Louis, Mo., a few days ago.

submitted, to have four debates
on two different nights. The same
question will be used in all four
debates. The affirmative will debate
first night, and the negative

On the second Friday in March, Kansas would meet Colorado here and Oklahoma at Norman, OK. On the third Friday in March, Washington would debate Hawaii at Columbia with M. U.
"This means," said Professor Gilkinson, "that the usual debate relations with Colorado, Oklahoma and Missouri are maintained with the addition of a debate with Washington An K. S. A. C. is also a member of the league, we would have indirect competition in the league, also probably retaining direct relation, though with a reversion to the women's debate."

Surprise Section Complete

hawk writer editions was in Jefferson City. The exe-
ct nature of this section is not be-
ing made public at this time, but it
