K.U. Track Followers See But Faint Hope In Manhattan Meet
Aggies Said to Have One of Classiest Teams in Years
Kansas Strong in Quarter
Dewall Will\Make Good Showing in the Mile Event
The Jayhawkers will go to Manhattan Monday to meet the Aggries on the indoor track in Nichols gymnastium with the poorest track team that has represented K. U. for many years, according to Coach W. O. Hamilton. "I cannot remember when we have had poorer prospects for a winning track team than at been connected with the teams at the University, and I the Jayhawker coach." The men have not reported for practice regularly and we have had only a few out who have had previous track experience."
On the other hand, the Aggies have one of the classiest track teams in years and will probably prove hard to beat in the Valley. The Aggies have generally been weak in track and Kansas has had little trouble in winning from them, but with Foreman, Frost, Beaty, Works, Evans Neely, Gallagher and other good men, it looks like the Manhattan aggregation may make things hot for other Valley track teams.
HAWKERS WEAK IN EVERYTHING
The Jayhawkers are particularly weak in the hurdles and the field events. Hobart is the only man with experience in the hurdles and he has been out for practice only a few times and is in poor health. Schwartz, former northwest high school athlete will probably run the race for Kansas and Torrey, a new man, may be entered. Heizer from last year's freshman team is the only athlete who has been doing well in the pole vault. He has cleared the bar at 10 feet 6 inches, but Frost, Aggie veteran, has gone more than 11 feet.
For the first time in many years, Kansas is weak in the high jump. Ralph Rodkey will probably be the entry in this event, but he has never jumped higher than 5 feet 7 inches and Works of the Aggies, who was a member of the team last year, should outdo the mark. Liggitt will be entered in the shot-put for the Javhawkers.
440 MAY GO TO KANSAS
The quarter-mile is the only race in which Kansas can be considered strong and it happens that the Manhattan team's strength is also particularly in this event. Capt. "Dummy" O'Leary has covered the 440 yards in 50 1-5 seconds on an outdoor track, and made it in 52 2-5 seconds, indoors in Convention Hall in 1917, when he beat out both Missouri entries in a brilliant finish. Merle Cliff is also fast enough to give the Aggies a good 'race', and he will be a strong cog in the relay队. Neeley and Evans, the Aggie star sprinter, along with Gallagher, a quarter-miler, form a triad that will be hard to beat in the dashes, however. Duff and Wilson may be used by Coach Hamilton in the quarter or half.
Ralph Rodkey and probably Duff will run the half, and the Aggies have no experienced men in this race. Although Captain Foreman of the Aggies is an excellent distance man, Dewall of Kansas will give him a real race in the mile. Foreman is one of the best two-milers in the Valley. Oglevie and Hanna will compete against his in this event.
On comparative dope, it appears that the Aggies have the edge for the first time in several years, although they will fight hard to come out on top.
A course in the "Problems of Peace," consisting of semi-weekly lectures by prominent speakers from over the country and abroad, will be given this term at the University of Wisconsin.

K. U. Goes Backward,
Says Coach Hamilton
Believes Physical Education on A Pre-War Basis is A Mistake
"A backward step of ten years has been taken in going back to the prewar basis in physical education," said W. O. Hamilton when asked his opinion of the recent action taken by the Senate. "Universal physical training will be common in most universities before many years. K. U. would have been a pioneer in this method of training if it had continued in the course which has just been altered."
"Lack of physical training acts like slow disease," said Mr. Hamilton. "The general health of the University would be improved by universal physical training. The value of this training has just been proved by the fact that 99 per cent of the men responsible for the arm show marked physical improvement except for injuries and sickness. The members of the faculty would be better and brighter if one hour a day they would take some sort of recreation out away from the school buildings and campus."
Mr. Hamilton thinks that the main reasons why physical training is not given the attention it should have are:
1. The tendency of the students to take the line of least-resistance.
2. The people who need it most
are the ones least apt to take exercise of any kind.
3. The natural timidity of students not wanting to get into games because, through lack of training, they are less expert than others.
4. Physical training is left unt the last thing.
