Bradley Brothers Lost To Spring Track Team; Three Letter Men Back
Year
Haddock, Dewall, and Ralph Rodkey Prospects for This
Prospects in track are extremely good for this spring, according to W. O. Hamilton, although Orville and Everett Bradley, last year's two best freshmen will probably not be back. Orville is new working in the oil fields and Everett is in the infantry at Houston, Texas. It is hoped that Coach Hamilton may be able to secure Everett's discharge.
The Bradley brothers were considered the best all-round athletes in school last year, with the exception of Marshall Haddock, who was high point winner for Kansas in the intercollegiate conference and interclass meet for the freshman class last year by themselves. Other no freshmen were entered.
Haddock, Lorin Dewall, and Ralph Rodkey, are the only track letter men left in school this year. Charles Heizer, the best of last year's freshman pole-vaulters is hard at work; Jackson and Chandler of Westport High School, Kansas City High School, and O'Neill have last spring are working out, and will be in for a killing at the first opportunity. Maulkum is out for the varsity.
And last and most promising of all is Roy Pringle, high point man in both high school meets last year.
Athletes Wish to Earn Letter in Boxing Game
The Athletics Association is in favor of making boxing a regular sport at K. U. and of giving letters to men for proper interest and development in the sport. Men showing skill will be sent to amateur tournaments, according to W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics at K. U.
The K. C. A. C. is planning to introduce boxing for amateurs and may hold a college tournament this season, according to Dr. Joseph Reilley, director of the club. Pete Gross is working with the men at the gym dally, but few men with ability have turned so far.

(Continued from page 1)
When we got into formation the battle cruiser was out in front of the fleet acting as scout. It traveled much faster than the rest of the fleet, thus cruising way out to one side and then over to the other. That was the beginning of our monotonous journey.
"I say monotonous and it surely was that for we were on the water seventeen days and we ate such rotten food. Those English certainly fed us some mighty poor stuff. The reason it took us so long to cross was on account of the zigzagging we did. However, we were much better pleased to take a little longer and stay dry than go straight and get a good ducking. We weren't sure that we wouldn't get it anyhow.
"We had quiet weather on the voyage, except for one morning. That day the sea was rough, the waves breaking over the top deck. This caused most of the seasickness we had. You can't get very sick on an empty stomach.
"We continued quietly on our way without seeing any other ships until one evening when we were two days off the coast of England. At about four o'clock we saw a sausage balloon coming out of the horizon. It was the first we saw of our convoy. A little later we saw the destroyer to which the balloon was attached. Still later we saw several other destroyers, ten in all, scattered over the horizon, approaching at a fast chase. They several miles ahead, their intended meeting us, on account of the course we had taken, and they were certainly making up for lost time. We were well into dangerous water. I don't know how the navigation was guided by information received by the ship's captain over the wireless telling the known whereabouts of certain submarines.
"Those speedy little destroyers were a welcome sight. They came slipping in and about the ships and were all over the water around us. After watching them awhile we felt pretty safe for it didn't take them more than a minute to get where they wanted to go.
"It was not more than two hours after the destroyers joined us that we had our first excitement. I had just finished supper and came out on deck when I heard a rumbling explosion in the water and felt the ship trembling. We rushed to the side of the ship to see what was going on. Some of the men climbed up the ropes and rigging. That is a great trait of the American—he must see all there is to see.
"About half a mile back several destroyers were converging on a spot and dropping depth bombs. It was these bombs we had heard and felt. Their explosion is supposed to be strong enough to destroy anything under the water within a radius of two hundred yards, especially a hollow tube like a submarine.
"Some officers claimed there had been "suba" there and that two of them were destroyed, but I am very doubtful of that. I thought I saw all there was to see from start to finish but no submarine did I see. Of course there might have been, but I have pretty good eyes and a poor imagination.
"So much for that, except that we had the same kind of excitement once more before we landed. Instead of docking in Liverpool as most of the transports were doing, we sailed up the English channel, through the Straits of Dover, where we saw the famous chalk cliffs and anchored at the mouth of the Thames. We had to wait there until the tide came
"At 5 p. m. we weighed anchor and sailed on up the river. I forgot to tell you that land was a mighty welcome sight—Columbus had nothing on us when it came to wanting to see land—and now there was plenty of it on both sides.
We dropped anchor in Tillbury, a few miles east, and a suburb of London. This was the evening of June 4. We stayed on board all night and the next day, June 5, we disembarked on English soil.
"From the wharf we took a train—they call them trains anyhow—to Winchester. The coaches look more or less like the cars I used to get for Christmas. However, they have plenty of speed. The train took us out around the main part of London, through the suburbs. The people gave us plenty of good cheer, but we didn't feel as good as we would have felt if we had seen something that looked like America.
"We stayed in this camp a couple of days during which time I visited Winchester and the old Winchester Cathedral. This was a fair camp and the food was still English, but it was good bread and plenty of good jam.
"On the morning of the seventh we left Winchester and proceeded to Southampton where we were to take the boat to France. We hung around in port all day and finally embarked
about five o'clock. We moved a few miles down the bay and anchored until eleven o'clock. It was here we saw our first submarine, but it was English. The boat started across the channel. We then started with the size of the one on which we crossed the ocean, but it still carried the same number of troops. It was so crowded that one could not walk around or sit down. Besides this, it was mighty chilly and it was so crowded below that I could not get down stairs. But after he had ever been hit by bombs-by soldiers. Fortunately, this agony was ended at eight o'clock in the morning. We landed in La Havre, France, at this time on June 8.
"We immediately marched into a rest camp—it was called that, but should have been named a workhouse—it was the dirtiest place I have ever seen. We were lucky enough not to have to stay here longer than one night, for the next night we left in our "cattle pullmans."

"The afternoon is nearly over and I have to finish cutting up our wood. If I leave it out over night somebody will swipe it. there is so much manual labor required to get the wood that it is mighty precious stuff."
