APRIL 2, 1918 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Banquet Will Be Prize Given To High Team In "Hash-House" League Nine Boarding Clubs Were Represented in Meeting at Oread Cafe Last Night Men Are to Sign Contracts Five Players Must be Clut Members and Others Recruited at Will A real, big, dinner with all the trimmings was the prize hung up by Bricken before the eyes of the organizers of the newly formed Hash House Baseball League last night in the banquet room of the Oread Cafe. This prize goes to the winner of the tournament at the close of the season late in May. in May. Nine clubs were represented in the first meeting. In conjunction with the president of the league George Nettels and the committees appointed from the Men's Student Council for this purpose, Marvin Harmis, Kelsey Matthews and John Bunn, a constitution was formed and accepted by the representatives. Each boarding house in the league will elect a captain and manager at the earliest possible opportunity. The captains and managers will meet as an executive council with the president and "Dutch" Wedell to formulate a schedule. This captain and manager will also secure contracts from a certain member of the club, and turn them in to the president of the league, George Nettels, as ten days must elapse after a player has signed a contract before he can participate in any contests. This provision is to prevent players from jumping from one club to another. Five players on each team must be boarding at the club they represent. The other players may be recruited from any source, as long as they are enrolled in the University and are not playing on a fraternity team or other Hash-Hash team. Students who board in small houses or who board with private families, may get a chance to play by signing a contract with some other boarding house. Variety players may play on the league teams if they are not playing in their regular variety positions. Local social fraternities may enter teams, or may premit players to sign with a boarding house team as they prefer. Games will be played on McCook and Hamilton fields. The diamonds available have been cleaned off and are in good shape for practice. Games will be seven innings in length, and will be held at about 5 o'clock. Each team will play one to three games a week. After the meeting the representa- the winners of the Hash-House league will play the Pan-Hellenic winners for the championship of the Hill. Admission will be charged to this last game, and proceeds will be prorated among the clubs to cover expenses made in the purchase of equipment. The Hash House schedule will be arranged so as not to conflict with the Pan-Hellenic schedule. The purpose of this league is to give everyone on the Hill the chance to get in the baseball game. Coach Hamilton approves heartily of the project, and men who make a team in the Hash House League will be excused from gym work while they play playing games; they will be gotten merely by signing up with a team in the league, and transferring from gym to baseball.

Courts Back of Gym Used for Varsity Tennis The five tennis courts just back of the gymnasium will be used this year by both men and women who participate in this sport. Two courts will be reserved for the Varsity, as has been true in past years when the courts east of McCook Field could not be used. The others will be open to other students who come out for tennis. No doubt it can be arranged as in past years that the women can use the Varsity courts some hours of the day, according to Hazel Pratt, Coach of Women's Athletics. The women's tennis tournament will be the last of May, although the definite date has not been set. All points gained by women in tennis help to make the necessary number required for sweaters and letters awarded by the Woman's Athletic Association. Spring Baseball Starting Around Woman's Gyn "If the weather permits baseball for women will probably start next week," said Hazel Pratt, coach of woman's athletics, today. When the baseball season opens many women who are now enrolled in regular gymnastism work will come out for this sport. Class teams will be organized and a regular series of games arranged. Swimming is the sport in which much interest is being taken at present. The date for the big meet has not been set, but the women who expect to enter are working out for it now. The swimming class which meets at 4:30 o'clock is especially for those women who expect to enter this meet. Basketball Tournament Took in Almost $1,000 The annual state high school basketball tournament here last week received almost a thousand dollars in gate receipts. The office in the gymnasium sold $274 worth of season tickets, and took in 585.50 in paid admissions. About $125 was received from the sale of season tickets at Lawrence High School. The total is about $755. Expenses are deducted from this, and 80 per cent of the surplus prorated among the visiting teams on the basis of mileage. Twenty per cent goes to the athletic association 'or expenses. See the latest styles in the new fashion magazines at the City Drug Store-Adv.

The Missouri Valley baseball session will not begin until next month, when the Jayhawkers have eight games scheduled with the Ames Aggies and the Kansas Aggies. Kansas Will Play Tennis With Valley Conference The University will have a tennis team this spring and schedule games with any of the schools of the Missouri Valley conference who retain the sport this spring according to W. O. Hamilton. The courts south of Robinson Gymnasium will be put in shape for Varsity use and a call for tennis players will be made shortly. The courts near McCook Field will not be available for use this spring as the barracks will be raided and the hauling over the grounds will prevent any use of the courts. This will cause the annual high school tennis tourney Kansas has several good tennis men in school. Matthews and Hitchcock are two Varsity men in school. Captain Kenneth Uhls will be ineligible for play this spring as he has played his three years with the K.U. Varsity. No schedule has been drawn up as no requests for tournaments has come from other schools. which is held in connection with the invitation high school track and field meet to be called off for this year.
