Schools Have Entered Eighty Athletes In Inter-Scholastic Meet
Annual Track Meet Will Be Held on McCook Field Saturday
Eskridge Has Entered 16
Hamilton Urges Fraternities And Boarding Clubs to Entertain Visitors
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, has received more than sixty entries from seventeen high schools for the fifteenth annual inter-scolastic track meet which will be held on McCook Field Saturday. Topeka and Leavenworth were invited to attend in for entry blanks. Only Lawrence and Northeast high schools have entered the tennis tourney.
The following schools have entered men: McPherson, Winfield, Burlinggame, Plaina Plains, Axell, Marquette, Moran, LacCyne, Kincad, Valley Falls, Abilene, Paicex, St. Johns, Eskridge, Harveyville, Perry, Florence. Eskridge in class C has the largest team entry with 16 men.
“All of the fraternities and boarding clubs at the University who can and will take care of a few men for this meet should notify the department of physical education so that no conflicting arrangements will be made,” said Coach Hamilton. “We will have many visitors here to look over our school and the impression which they receive will have much to do with their selection of a school for next year.”
Cherry Is Tried Out For Place on Pitching Staff of Kansas Nine
Coach Bond Gives Out Signals. To Be Used First in Missouri Games
Coach Bond put his Jayhawken baseball squad through a long hitting practice Monday afternoon, after which he gave out a complete set of signals to each man. These signals were tried out in the 20-minute drill which followed and the men should have them learned in time for the Missouri games next month.
The same lineup was used in fielding practice that was used against Ames, with the exception that Keeler was tried on first base for a short time and Cherry was sent over to warm up with the pitches. Cherry may be used in the box some on the Missouri trip if the regular pitchers cannot stand the gaff. Keeler, with a little more practice at first, will be able to fill any position on the diamond with the exception of the battery positions and will make a valuable utility man.
Schoepel is back on the pitching staff now and is in good condition to go into the box at any time. He pitched to batters Monday and seems to have gained fair control of the pitching field, making the trips with the team and this pair, with Slawson, will bear the brunt of the work in the box.
Coach Wedell's freshmen worked out on Hamilton Field Monday and will probably play a practice game with the Varsity this afternoon. The freshmen and Varsity have not met for nearly two weeks.
Emporia Normal Team
To Play Here Thursday
The Emporia Normals will be here for a baseball game Thursday according to word received today by W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics. Coach Hamilton has been trying to arrange for the game for some time.
The Normals held the Jayhawkers to a 4- to 4 tie in their game at Emporia because of the wildness of Kansas twirlers. Since that time Slawson has developed into a dependable pitcher with control. Slawson will probably be used against the teachers Thursday.

Squad
Kenneth Uhls, captain of the K.U. tennis team probably will pick the man in try-outs this week who is to play with him in the double matches this season. The selection undoubtedly will be made Saturday afternoon when Captain Uhls will come from the Rosedale medical school. Uhls has four men on the Varsity to choose from. C. P. Butcher, '19; F. A. Fratcher, '18; C. K. Mathews, '19; and H. A. Skær, '19 are on the squad. It is the first year in Varsity competition for all four.
Rain, wet grounds, and col. rain have kept the players from doing any active outdoor work for almost two weeks. Tuesday was the only day when the courts were dry enough for a short practice. Much practice has been indoor. Robinson is also playing there in real place for playing in that building there has been a lack of mud needed practice matches.
The opening tournament probably will be held this week. Kansas City teams probably will be played at Kansas City in this opening tournament. No other dates have been defined, settled, although K. U. will play Missouri and possibly the New Orleans. The team is to play in the Missouri Valley conference tournament to be held at Ames, Ia.

Everett and Orville Bradley, the best freshman track athletes at the University of Kansas this year, will leave school May 5 and go to Oklahoma to work on their father's 240-acre farm.
