Strong Nebraska Team Is Coming to McCook For Track Meet Friday
Date of Meeting Changed to Avoid Conflict With High Invitation Meet
Laws Stay Over to Compete
Two of Uncle Jimmie's Men Remain for Meet After Finishing School Work
Strenuous practice is the program this week for the Jayhawker track squad in preparation for the annual meet with Nebraska which will be held Friday afternoon on McCook Field. The date of the meet was changed from Saturday with the consent of the Nebraska management because the K. U. High School Invitation Meet is scheduled here for Saturday.
The two athletes who were in the University School of Law and who had planned to go home to work on the farm, have been persuaded to remain for the meet with Nebraska. Lobaugh, as well as Rice will be here, according to present indications. Lobaugh is a fast dash man, a quarter miler, and a relay man. Rice is the high jumper and has been working out with the discus recently.
NEBRASKA HAS STRONG TEAM
Nebraska has a strong track team this year; much stronger than usunl. The Cornhuskers have not the great team that the University of Missouri has, but the team from Nebraska probably will make the meet Friday one of the most interesting ones the K, U, team has entered.
Nebraska has a great dash man in McMahon, who recently did the 220-yard dash in 22 seconds. McMahon is also touted as a 10-second runner in the 100-yard dash. He has been the minstay in the meets thus far this year. Nebraska beat Ames by a 2-to-1 ratio early in the season on a muddy field, and later Ames lost to Missouri by nearly the same score. By this dope Kansas has little chance to win.
The Cornhuskers have a fine vaulter in Gerhart, who is said recently to have cleared the bar in practice at 11 feet 6 inches. Howard of Kansas has done 11 feet 3 inches and probably is cannable of better in a pinch.
RELAY RUN AT WINTER MEET
The Nebruska relay team has beaten K. U. this year, cleaning up on the Kansans in the K. C. A. C. meet in Convention Hall. The time was faster than that made by the University of Missouri relay team in the same meet.
Grum is the half miler of the Nebraska track team and he is a fairly good 880-yard man, but Murphy should be able to beat him. It seems likely now that Davison has left school for good because the School of Law has finished its work for this year. This leaves only Murphy in the half.
GRAF FAST DISTANCE MAN
Graf is considered a fast mile and 2-mile man, and should take first in both of these from the K. U. runners. Graf runs the 2-mile race in 9:40 which is remarkably fast time, and about a minute to two minutes faster than anything the Kansas runners have done this season. This fast athlete makes the first mile in better time than the average mile man.
Finley is the hurdler for the nor-
terners and he should have little
trouble in winning first from Hobart,
who did not place in the hurdles in
the Missouri meet last week. In the
quarterfinals, he beat the other
currier-miler, but McMahon is
expected to run in this event besides
the shorter dashes.
Kansas may enter two men in the pole vault in the Nebraska meet, for Armin Barteldes, a Lawrence man who is eligible, is working out daily in this event and has gone as high as 10 feet 3 inches. It is doubtful if this height will place the Nebraska man is in condition.
Two pigs of the Duroc variety sainted down Fourteenth Street last week at the close of 3 o'clock classes. Their meandering were disturbed by the arrival of a small boy who endeavored to head them off on their aimless career.
The pigs started headlong for the K. U. shoe shop, but the pavement was wet. One slipped into the storm sewer. And yet the country tries to Hooverize!

Valley Tennis Tournament Called Off for This Year
There will be no Missouri Valley tennis tournament this year, W. O. Hamilton, coach of athletes at the University of Kansas, said today. There are only three teams in the Valley district—Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma—that are playing tennis this season. It was doubtful if the University of Oklahoma could get together a team in time to send it to the tournament which was to have been held May 25.
Because there was no hope of getting more than three teams to enter the tourney it had to be postponed, for a ruling provides that there must be four teams entered before the tournament becomes a Missouri Valley affair. The only match K. U. will play this year besides some matches with Kansas City, Mo., teams is the one scheduled to be played Saturday afternoon on the McCook Field courts with the University of Missouri.
Baseball Nine Leaves Tonight For Ames, Ia., To Play Three Games
Jayhawkers Must Fight Hard to Beat Ames Out of Second Place
the Varsity baseball team will leave at 8:40 o'clock tonight for Ames, In., where it will play a series of three games with the Iowa Agnies for second place in the Missouri Valley championship race. Ames played here two weeks ago and broke even in their two games with the Jayahawk-
The Kansas lineup will be weaker on this trip than in the Ames games here, but Coach Jay Bond's men expect to give the Aggies a hard fight for the series.
The Kansas linee line probably again will be changed, as Weltner will not make the trip and Isenberg probably will not be able to get into the game until the second day, because of heavy work in the School of Medicine.

in the infield in practice, sprained an ankle Tuesday afternoon, but will be able to play against Ames. Willethmey, an outfielder, who played on the freshman team last year and has been out for the Varsity, probably will be taken along to play in the outfield in case Keeler is sent to second.
Bum undoubtedly will catch all the games against the lowans, and either Cherry or Cooper will be used on first base. Isenberger will cover second at least in the second and third games, Foster will play the shortstop position and Lonborg will play third.
Oyster, Schoepeel and Cherry,
Keeler or Wilhelmmy hold down the outfield positions. Goodwin, Schoepeel, Slawson, and Cherry will make up the pitching staff.
Ames will furnish real competition for the Jayhawkers and Coach Bond's men will have to play in top form to win. The Iowans have lost four of their six games to Missouri, but many of the games were lost on errors and every one was hard fought. Those won by the Tigers were by close scores.
The Iowa Aggies have an excellent pitching staff in Greenlee, Plugge and DeForest, for both Greenlee and DeForest pitched well in their games iere and Plugge is said to be the most consistent winner on the staff. But f Kansas plays well in the field and Foster, Lonborg, Cherry, Bunn and the others start hitting, Ames is liable o have to fight.
Alpha Omicron Pi will give a breakfast at Woodland Park Saturday morning at 6 o'clock.

The students getting second grade licenses have been studying wireless only this semester. The first grade holders have been studying since the course was started at the first of the year.
The department has sent many men to Signals Corps, the Intelligence Department and other war activities. There are now forty students taking the work. Eighty started and about forty have withdrawn from school to go into work in which the wireless knowledge stood them in good stead.
