Kansas City, Mo. Highs Enter Forty-eight Men For Saturday's Meet
Athletes Who Starred in State High School Meet are Asked to Participate
Invitation Records May Fall
W. O. Hamilton has Announced Many Stars Who Will Return for Meet
The leading athletes of the state of Kansas and Kansas City, Mo., will be here as the guests of the University of Kansas Athletic Association Saturday for the annual invitation track and field meet. Entries are coming in slowly but are expected to come in fast Thursday and Friday as only those who are being invited are eligible to compete and their expenses are being paid.
This meet usually brings the class of high schools to K. U, and from the way the high school basketball tourney and state track meet came out, Saturday will be a big day in K. U. athletics. The meet will be run in Missouri Valley Conference style and Dr. Reilley of K.C.A.C. will work the meet. The men will all run in one class, which will make a large number of preliminaries.
Coach Hamilton has announced that the Kansas City, Mo., and the Kansas City, Kas., high schools will send sixty men each. The Kansas City schools usually win the meet because of the large list of entries and will probably repeat Saturday.
A a few of the stars entered in the last meet who will return are: Fisher Curtman, Dobson, and Smith of Winfield; Henree of Kansas City, Kas; Tendel of Burlingame; McDonald of Marquette; Blaine of Goodland; Matthias of Perry; and Boatright of Harveyville. Topeka and Atchison will enter a large team. The Lawrence highs will enter a full team. Some of the high school records will probably fall if the track is fast Saturday as these men have records which are exceptionally fast.

4000 Students Will Enroll Next Fall, is Prediction
Increased Appropriations Will Mean Improvements and Better Salaries
A record breaking enrollment for the University next fall is predicted by Chancellor Frank Strong. Between 3,500 and 4,000 students will enroll next year, he believes. He bases his prediction on the graduation return to normal conditions and the fact that in 1917, which totaled 3,437 students.
Another reason for believing a record breaking number of students will enter the University next year is the large number of improvements that will be made here within the next two years. A new $150,000 power plant will be constructed south of Mount Oread. All modern heating apparatus will be purchased and the building will be one of the prettiest on the campus. Another addition to the University will be the new hospital at Rosedale, which is to cost $200,000. Construction of the hospital will start within the next two years, Chancellor Strong says. Funds will not be available un-
Chancellor Strong also explained that the University now has the largest appropriations in the history of the institution. The income annually for the next two years from all sources will total $1,115,000. Seventeen years ago, when Chancellor Strong came to the University, the income was only $141,000 from all sources. A 20 percent increase in salaries is made possible by the large appropriations.
State Geological Survey Will Have New Quarters In South Of Haworth Hall
Department Will Co-operate with State in Examination of Kansas Natural Resources
Because of the urgent necessity for extensive scientific research investigations of possibilities in further development of the enormous Kansas mineral and oil resources, the entire south wing of Haworth Hall is now being put into shape to house the state geological survey department for which $50,000 was appropriated by the state legislature in the last session.
Requests from almost every part of the state have been coming in to the state geologist the last few days for cooperation in scientific investigations of mineral resources, gas and oil, and road materials. Every effort is being made to get the survey department into the new quarters so that these urgent requests can be met. The new office includes an area class chemistry laboratory, record room, private offices of the state geologist, reception room for all visitors, and a display room in addition to the ceramic laboratory.
Paul Murphy, a graduate of the geology department of the University of Kansas, will oversee the roa material investigations which start in Ford county and adjacent counties of western Kansas next week. Murphy will make the trip to Ford county and will spend several days making field maps of the roads and collecting road material samples which will be classified and analyzed in the state survey laboratory here.
The oil and gas investigations will likely be started in Washington county from which a petition with more than 100 signers has been received. The petition asks the co-operation of the state survey in determining the oil and gas possibilities in that county.

The signs, "Welcome home, boys!" were spread all over town to welcome the home-coming troops, but one of them was rather misplaced. It was in the window of the county jail.

Now that booze has been prohibited, our legislators should devote their attention to pie and hamburgers after midnight.

Dutch Wettern had a very pleasant dream the other night, but with a rather unhappy ending. He says he dreamed that he had a date with one of the keenest girls he had ever seen. Everything was going lovely until she said, "And do you know, I had to pay twelve-hundred dollars for this glass eye."
One of the fair guests at the Electrical Engineers' banquet surveyed with a great deal of interest one of the blue-print programs.
Finally she exclaimed, "My goodness, but it must have taken a long time to make these programs. Why, it would take me a whole afternoon to draw one of them."

Haddock And Gallagher Will Feature Dual Meet With Farmers Friday
Gallagher is Conceded Firsts in Hurdles, but is Pitted Against Haddock in Sprints
Foreman Will Push Dewall
O'Leary and Clift Expected to Finish Ahead of Neeley in Quarter Mile
The dual meet between the Kansas Aggies and K.U. scheduled for McCook Field Friday afternoon will be a meet between Marshall Haddock of Kansas and Gallagher of the Aggies. These men are the best there is in the Valley in the sprints, and pitted against each other will put on a race that will be worth the rest of the meet. Gallagher has a good running partner in Evans who finishes close to Gallagher in all starts.
Haddock is one of the best sprinters K. U. has ever produced, and with Haddock right Kansas will win the meet according to W. O. Hamilton. If Haddock wins against Gallagher the other Kansas athletes will take care of the other events. Both sprinters have equally good records. The races are toss ups according to fans who have been following the men all season. Gallagher was a football star and did some stellar work for the Aggie eleven in the Kansas-Aggie game here last fall. The Aggie man is a hurdler as well as sprinter and will finish first in the stick events.
Dewall will have a hard race in the mile as Foreman is a fast man and hard to beat on the distance event. Dewall is well conditioned and my spring a surprise Friday. Kansas should have the edge in the relay.
QUARTER MEN MAY BEST NEELEY
Neeley of the Aggies was a star on the quarter in his high school days and will be entered in the event with hopes of trimming "bummy" O'Leary and Mirl Clift. The Kansas pair beat him out at Manhattan in the indoor meet February 17 and are out to repeat. K.U. fans think the Aggie coaches have broken Neeley and that he will do well to finish close to Clift and O'Leary. Clift may spring another surprise in the sprints.
Kansas has the edge in the field events according to Manager Hamilton. The meet will be close, and the result will probably be decided in the sprints when Haddock starts against the speedy Gallagher. Dr. Reilley of Kansas City will work the meet.
