University Track Team Would Retrieve Honors At Missouri Dual Meet
Quarter Mile is Doped to Be Deciding Factor of Contest
Tigers Have More Veterans
Rice Will Try to Set New Record For K. U. in High Jump
With only a short work-out as a program for work today, the Jayhawkers are waiting to show their fight and ability against the Missouri Tigers in the annual duel meet which is to be held at Columbia Saturday. There have been no try-outs probably because Coach W. O. Hamilton believes his best men have been selected, and because there are so few men eligible aside from those already on the team. The team is to leave Friday afternoon for the camp of the Missourians.
MISSOURI HAS VETERAN STARS
With the memory of the unexpected victory of the Tigers in the indoor track meet last winter still fresh in mind, the K. U. track athletes are planning to blot out that defeat. There is little done on that defense, of all the teams since both schools lost some of their star runners since the indoor meet.
MISSUOI HAS VETERAN STARS
Shreve, a relay and star quarter mile man; Welly, a great hurdler and pole vault man; and Coffey, the half mile man who was running with Murphy, are all in the military service now. Missouri has lost Flint who ran such a strong race in the two mile in the Convention Hall meet, but the rest on their war-time team is in good trim. The Tigers have the advantage this season of having six of their track stars of last season back working in great shape.
Kansas in contrast has but two men back for the team, Murphy, a half miler, and Rice, a veteran high jumper. The rest of the material has had to come from freshman athletes of last year or green, material, and there have been few upperclassmen from which to pick.
Kansas track dopesters are figuring that th quarter mite will be a deciding factor in the meet. Rodkey, Lobaugh, and Russell are slated for this dash event, Russell to take Rodkey's place if he is saved as a fresh man for the broad jump. Rodkey may, however, be used in the quarter and broad both, so that Russell will be the fresh man for the relay. Lobaugh will run in the relay, along with Murphy, Russell, Rodkey, and possibly Davidson. Haddock will be the only entry in the 100-yard dash and 220-yard dash, according to present indications. He should give Scholtz a run for his money and possibly beat him.
MILE TO BE HARD RACE
Hobart seems to be the only possibility in the hurdles and his hard work this week may put him in good enough trim to beat out Sylvester in either the high or low hurdles. Murphy and Davidson seem to be the possibilities in the half, with Murphy almost certain of taking first in this race.
The mile should be a hard race with every chance that Deewell will beat Banks, the Tiger's best miler. Only Deewell will run for K. Gogleie and Hanna she will the Missouri in the 2-mile and Wagner in the 5-miles will have his hands full to win out in the mile, without coming back in the 2-mile run.
The relay looks like Mizzou. In the field events, Kansas is looking better. Rodky made 21 feet 7½ inches under difficulties at the Kansas Aggie meet last week. This distance at Missouri should take first, for Scholtz can sprint faster than he has broad feet. He made it in 20 feet 9 inches at Aggieville last week and looks good for a place at the Tiger meet.
RICE FEELS SURE OF HIGH JUMP
Howard is going fine in the pole vault with the aid of the warmer weather. He made 11 feet in practice the other night. He is the only K.U. man in the league to work in the disc, although Haddock is the strong Jay-hawker athlete in this event.
He has thrown this weight nearly 114 feet in practice recently and unless the Missouri discus man, Berry, springs a big surprise, this throw should get first. He is not doing the shot put, but Liggett has been working hard with this weight and may get second in the Missouri meet. There is also a possibility that Sterling will get into this event, since he
has been showing fairly well.
has been showing fairly well.
Rice is sure of first in the high eighth, and thus sets a new record for K. U., if the track is not wet. The present record is held by Richard Treweke, now in the service, who jumped 6 feet $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches in 1916. This will also be a new Missouri Valley conference record if the one by Treweke is broken. Rice has been doing good work this week and several times has approached the 6-foot mark.
K. U. Will Meet Tiger
Tennis Team May 18
Opening Match of Missouri Valley Conference Season to Be Played Here
The Kansas tennis team will meet the Missouri team here May 18, in the first tournament of the season. Candidates are working daily to into shape for the matches. The team has not been chosen and probably will not be until just before this tournament. Fratcher, Butcher, Matthews are the most likely candidates to work with Capt Kenneth Uhls.
The Missouri Valley tournament May 25 probably will be in Kansas City on the Rockhill Club courts. The tournament $^2$ was scheduled for Nebraska this year but it was refused due to the lack of material for a team.
It was then offered to Ames and Missouri and was refused by both. All the schools report little material for tennis teams in the valley this year. Missouri and Oklahoma probably will be represented in this tournament.
