Jayhawker Nine Opens Series With Missouri At Columbia Today
Slawson, Best Hurler Developer Here This Season, Probable Pitching Selection
This Is The Crucial Series
Kansas Fielding Is Excellent But Team Is Shy of Slahmen
The Jayhawker baseball nine left for Columbia, Mo., yesterday afternoon where they will meet Missouri in a three-game series starting today. The Missourians won their series with the Ames Cyclones, two out of three, and should make the going to the Kansas team this afternoon.
TIGER PITCHING IS GOOD Urie, of Missouri, is one of the best pitchers in the conference and probably will face Slawson this afternoon. Slawson is the best on Kansas twining and has been scored upon this season. Slawson has near-perfect control and is a heavy moundman.
The Kansans have been hitting fairly well in the games played this year and should win against the Tigers if the K. U. twirlers can hold the enemy to a few runs. If Slawson is not effective against the Tigers, the Kansas team will have a hard time to come back and win the series.
CRUCIAL SERIES AT COLUMBIA Kansas, Missouri, and Ames are the only Valley teams playing baseball this year and this series will have direct bearing upon the final Valley standing as Missouri has won over Ames, and K. U. broke even when Ames played here. If Kansas loses the Missouri series they will have to win all of the remaining games on their schedule to win the Valley championship.
INFIELD IS GOING GOOD
INFIELD is GOING GOOD
This afternoon Bunn probably will work behind the bat. Cherry will be at first, Isenberger at second, Foster at short and Lonborg at third.
This infield has played some good ball this season but a repetition of the work done in the last Ames game may mean defeat. Weltmer, Keeler, and Oyster have been the most consistent fielders on the squad and probably will start in the game today.
War Crackers Rigged Of Something Lasting But In K. U. Uncertain
First Consignment of Soda Substitutes Puzzles Students
War soda crackers have come into their own within this week, and now a stray relic of the real old-fashioned soda cracker is on the K. U. tables among half a ton or so of the yellowish gray everlastings that have brownish gritty pebbles in them to give them further stability.
The old supply lasted longer than dealers expected they would and for a long time Lawrence store cellars and back rooms have had cases of stuff that would pass for dynamite, cement, wood ashes, or high grade fertilizer, all in cracker shape, waiting for the evening meal that would at last need them. "They are intended for patriotic consumption," is the way one grocer defended his new goods. The undergrad customer said something about it's taking a regular patriot to stand up and take them and bought an extra pot of jam to slide them down easier.
APPEARANCES NOT DECEITFUL
APPEARANCES NOT DELEGUEFU
The crackers taste much as they look and look much as they taste. "Ghastly" said one good woman who has to serve them to students that have just got to be willing. "Looks like a railroad wreck of a stock train put through a kiln and pulverized," she reported from a medic's commentary.
"Wood ashes, sulphur, cement—or ground bones—tastes like all put together," this from a fraternity house on Tennessee street. Somebody said he fair to dogs and other household pets. All agreed that dogs should come first.
FORMULA KEPT SECRET
All inquiries made concerning sources of the combination behind the cracker have revealed that the Hill declaims possession of any such information and refuses to theorize. One declared it unsafe to speculate, for since the things have got to be eaten, he thought it
best to let the secret pass when war passes.
No casualties are reported to date, though every eater has expectations. Digestions are still unimpaired; at least no cases have come from cracker causes to the University Hospital. It is likely that the majority actually accustom people to their presence and proper disposal without any physical harm.
Kansas Editors Meet
At Wichita This Week
L. N. Flint and W. B. Brown Will Represent Journalism
Faculty
The Department of Journalism will be represented at the Kansas State Editorial Association meeting to be held this week at Wichita, by Prof. L. N. Flint and Supt. W. B. Brown The chief purpose of the association is discussion of the problems of an editor. This year half day sessions will be devoted to the work of women on newspapers, with only women speakers. Major-General Leonard Wood and William Allen White will give addresses. The editors will visit the oil fields near Wichita, and will be guests of the Commercial Club at a banquet.
The association met in Lawrence two years ago, and last year in Topeka. It is probable, according to Professor Flint, that the meeting next year will be held in Topeka, since the association would meet there during the session of the legislature. Newspaper week at the University will not be held this year on account of war conditions.

Last Call For Poems Contest Ends Friday
Trumpets to the west east, south, and north, and then the heralds at dawn gave warning; the prize poem contest of the Kansan has gone far enough. The judges are longing for an end of hostilities. The poets who have already done their durnedest are looking for the last competitor to come into the lists. The editors declare they can't hold open the gates another minute beyond 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Friday. May 10.
Not one poem will be accepted after the time limit set. But the last grand dumping of copy ought to keep the column set aside for such artistic depredations well filled for another week. The editors beg that aspirants be not deceived; though poems be printed all shall have to come in before the set hour on Friday. They expect the best poem will come in late and are already regretting the duty to throw it out.

This story is as decidedly "different" as the name implies—it deals with the struggle of an up-to-date young girl who has visited New York, to rejuvenate the old-fashioned, narrow minded Western town she lives in.
