Junior High Teams Accept Invitation for State Meet
Over 1000 High School Boys to Enter in Two-Day Athletic Carnival This Week
Thirteen high schools have replied to the invitation of the K. U., Athletic Association to take part in the first annual basketball tournament ever sponsored by the University. Considering the time which has elapsed since the invitations were issued, the numberReply was insufficient to officials of the association.
The junior high school meet will be held in connection with the twenty first annual high school interscholastic track and field meet on the K. U. cinders before an expected crowd of several thousand in the Stadium. Judging by the entries in the high school interscholastic competition, the meet will be even more severe than it was last year when Northeast of Kansas City and Washington high of Cedar Rapids, Iowa (holder of the world's interscholastic miles and two-mile relay records) got away with the honors.
Altopeger more than one thousand athletes and close to a hundred educational institutions have been entered in the events constituting the two-day athletic carnival. These events include many of the tendance, both of athletes and of spectators, at the large relay games held in the East.
High School Visitors Given Tickets
The day following the two high school meets, the second annual Kansas Relay games will take the center of the stage and to this the visiting high school admissions admission tickets, according to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics.
Entries of High Schools Announced
The schools entered for the junior high school meet are as follows:
Kansas City, Mo. (Northeastern, Central, Westport), Kansas City, Kan.
Norfolk, North Carolina, Chauute, Lawrence, Bonner Springs, Ottawa, Topkea (Central and Quincy).
The total number of high school athletes entered in the twenty-first annual meet is about six hundred, and the junior high男 will make 150 additional competitors. There are eight competitors in class A, and 32 in class B.
Pitching Staff Improving, Says Coach "Potsy" Clark
Varsity Defeats Frosh
Some snappy baseball was displayed by both the freshmen and varsity when they met last night. "Big Jimmy" O'Byron on the mound for the "Fresh" and he put them past several of the boys. The score however, was one sided, in favor of the varsity.
"The team is looking mighty good, with the exception of two places in the infield, and I am planning some changes that will fix it up," said Coach Clark this morning. Alex Hodges is our again now. He added, "I am a fan."
He is going strong for the second or third base position. Odgen, who is another contender for these two positions is playing a good game and will likely break into the regular line-up before long.
The outfield positions are all pretty well taken and the coaches are well satisfied with them. Black, Skimmer and Hewitt are the boys who are taking care of the "garden." Dan Bobin is hitting the old apple in good shape and although he is a first baseman he will probably be tried at third.
"The pitching staff looks a great deal better now than we expected," said Clark. "Dumme, Wright, Davis are working and are working in fine shape."
The first game will be played here
Thursday, April 17. Tickets are on
sale at the athletic office now.
Season tickets are $3.

One person in every six in the United States and Canada is a holder of a Metropolitan policy — one of the safest forms of investment.
In 1923 the Metropolitan grew faster than any other life insurance company in the world; grew in income—in assets—and in the effectiveness of its campaign for better health for the whole country.
The Metropolitan sends trained nurses to the homes of thousands ofIndus- lour immigrants holders when they are sick. In 1923 these nurses made 2,482,919 visits.
While the average life span in the general population of the United States is $51\%$ years greater than it was 11 years ago, the life span of the Industrial polysholders of the Metropolitan areas has remained the same interval. This greater gain has resulted in large part from the Metropolitan's Health Service.
During 1923 the Metropolitan distributed 33,790,840 booklets and pamphlets dealing with health, general welfare and longer life. The total number of pieces distributed to date amounts to 305,990,507.
The Metropolitan arranges for free periodic health examinations for holders of Ordinarypolicies. Among those who availed themselves of this privilege the rate was found to be 28% lower than was expected for the group.
The Metropolitan cooperates with the companies to which it has issued group insurance for their employees—cooperates not only in giving insurance protection but also to promote better health, better working conditions, better living conditions and happier social conditions.
