LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 21, 1906.
THE FIELD MEET
ENGINEERS AND ARTS DIVIDE THE HONORS.
Kansas Defeats K. C. A. C. Relay Team-No Award on the School Relay.
The engineers and arts tied in the inter-school track meet this afternoon with a score of 47 points each. The Law School team took 33 points, mostly in the runs. A foul claimed by the engineers prevented the College team from winning the meet with a score of 52,to 47 for the engineers. "Cap" Young College, and Kepner engineer, started nearly even on the last lap and Young forged ahead, finishing three or four yards ahead. At the last turn Young fouled Kepner in cutting into the inner track, and as there was no referee at the corner to decide the matter, the College team withdrew their claim to the award and left the score where it was before the relay, 47 to 47.
The University relay team, Young, Dennis, Wallace and Driscoll, defeated the K. C. A. C. team in the invitation relay by some of the prettiest running ever seen on the field. "Cap" Young made a long lead in the first lap, and all the other runners helped in widening the gap. The time was 1 minute, 23 3-5 seconds.
Three University records were broken, in the pole vault, the hammer throw and the half-mile. Milton Miller cut the record in the half-mile from 2:10 4-5, made by Sherrett in 1903 to 2:9 4-5. Miller lost one shoe and ran about half of the last lap with one, and but for this would have cut the record at least a second or two more.
As was expected, Putnam easily broke Ackerman's record in the hammer throw in 1905, 118 9-10 feet, and made a record of 128 feet, 2 inches. But for his inability to stay inside the ring on long casts, Putnam would have made a new record in the discus throw.
Russell easily broke Whipple's record in the pole vault and made a new record at 11 feet, 4 inches.

NUMBER 57
Won Three Games in a Series of Five---Exciting Game Today.
The Men Who Meet the Baker Team Tonight.
In the game today the 'Varsity slab swingers succeeded in finding the Sooner twisters remarkably well, and made eight hits by the end of the sixth inning. Johnson, Young, and Brown each landed on the ball for a single, while Bloss and Bailey pounded it out for a three-bagger each. Kirmeyer started out in good form, and allowed but five hits in that time, while the visiting twirler allowed eight.
J. W. Blood is a senior Law
The Sooners played a more consistent game than yesterday, and the errors on both sides were comparatively few. Bunny Wilson was again the star in the left field and took everything that came into his territory.
At the last half of the ninth K. U. came to bat with the score 5 to 3 against her. Hetherington went to first on a single; Hoffman took a single, and by an error both men took two bases; Johnson drove a two bagger and scored both men. Then "Spide" Bailey scored Johnson by a long drive over the center field, and with no men out the Jayhawkers let the game close with the score 6 to 5.

On an ideal day, with 2,000 loyal supporters the Jayhawkers defeated the Oklahoma University team yesterday by the score of 6 to 2. The Sooners started off with a nice lead of two scores in the first inning but from that time on they were unable to cross the home plate. Every Kansas man on the team secured a hit. Brown made three singles out of five times up. Hoffman and Hetherington landed on the Territory pitcher for a two bagger each, and Captain Johnson made one of his accustomed drives for a three base hit. Bunny Wilson brought a storm of applause when in the eighth, facing the sun, he sprang into the air and caught a long fly with one hand.
Two errors by Kansas,a base on balls and a single by Winn of Oklahoma and the Sooners made their two scores. In the next eight innings Hoffman allowed but three hits which were of no avail to the visitors. Kansas made four scores in the second when the visiting pitcher issued a base on balls and allowed two singles by Johnson and Bailey and a two base hit by Hoffman. On timely hits Kansas scored again in the fifth and sixth. Summary:

German Play.
A large crowd of University and high school students attended the program given by the German department in F. A. A hall last night. The program was good, some of the characters in the play, "Die Lügnerin," being particularly good.
