Markley Says K. U. Athletes Will Break Own Time
Record-breaking has been a fact among the members of Coach Hamilton's track team this year. Five of the marks set by K. U. Jeeves in past years are records have in part made back as far as John Haven have fallen this season.
Last spring when Fred Rodkey outsprinted the Missourians and set the quarter mile mark at 50 3-5, he chipped 2-5 of a second from the time made by McCoy in 1906. This record was caused by the trip to Columbia, a couple of weeks ago, Dorman O'Lery covered the distance in 50 1-5, thus clipping off 2-5 of a second from Rodkey's time. Then, to make sure there was no mistake, he equaled this mark in the contest with the April 4 victory, so it is expected of him during the next two years.
BODKEY BREAKS OWN RECORD
Last year Rodkey set the half-mile record at 2:00 2:15, but was not content to leave it at this figure so he clipped off the distance in 1:58 4:5, thus breaking the record again this spring. Along with that, he brought the relay mark down from 3:28 to 3:24 1-5 in the meet with the K. S. A. C.
in 1912 Tod Woodbury vaulted 11 feet 6 1-2 inches and until this season no Kansan has been able to better the mark. In the annual outdoor meet with Missouri Pattin tied with Billy Powell, the Missouri valuator at 11 feet 8 1-2 inches and thus another University record was hung up. Pattinson has done 12 feet in practice several times and there is little doubt but that he will break his own record before the season is over.
Dick Treweke defeated Radford Pitlism in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 1 inch during the indoor meet with Missouri at Convention Hall last winter, and thus raised the record of 6 feet 5-8 inch, made by Bill Frenzel, behind him on April 29 Treweke cleared the bar at 6 feet 1-2 inches but as he did not score first place the record does not stand as official.
Trainer Markley is greatly interested in the work the men have been doing this season, and says that more records will fall and new ones be made before the men that now hold them have left school. O'Leary, it is the trimmer's opinion, will be the quarter next season, provided of course, that he has no hard luck and keeps in good condition.
"Rodkey should knock two full seconds off his half mile record next spring, when his foot has fully recovered and he has had a good rest," said Doc. Markley last night, as he was working to get his men in the best of condition for the Missouri valley meet next Saturday.
TWO MORE MEETS COMING
"Pattinson will put his mark up a few inches more yet this year, if I do not miss my guess," the trainer continued, "and there are other marks that may be bettered within the next two weeks."
TWO MORE MEETS COMING Markley is yet a bit doubtful about Treweke's injured leg, but feels sure that the jumper will be able to better his own leap by two or three inches as soon as he gets in good condition.
Coach Hamilton expects some great things of his athletes in the two meets yet to be competed in the Missouri Conference, Columbia, Mo. on May 27, and the Western Conference meet at Chicago on June 3.
PRINCETON'S INSURANCE
Senior Class Memorial Fund Is Used to Pay Policies
The senior class of the University has received several requests from insurance companies for them to consider the memorial insurance plan that has recently been adopted at Delaware University.
a Princeton University has new policies in regard to the senior memorial
Their senior memorial is to be an endowment life insurance policy in favor of the University. Two hundred and fifty percent of their class have taken out policies of either $100, $200 or $400 make an average policy of $175. The policies taken out amount to a total of $43,500, which will be availed whatever purpose the University uses it at the end of twenty-five years.

NO TAPE FOR MARKLEY
Frainer Doesn't Like to Use Adhesive Preparation
"I never use adhesive tape if I can keep from it. The zinc oxide preparation is injurious to the skin and beades, pressure of any kind, whenrought to bear on an injury, only keeps the blood from flowing freely, and thus does not allow the injured art to heal as quickly as it other-ways. This is a demonstration of Trainer Markley, the man who is keeping Coach Hamilton's track men condition for the big conference this year.
Doc. Markley is a strong believer in sweating and "baking" as cures for sprains and "charkey horses," and he has brought with him a heating cabinet that seems to be getting the response she calls "chimney." A great faith in massage treatment, in the administration of which he is proficient.
"Always warm up good before you work out," is his advice to the track men, for he claims that many good men have been kept out of competition for an entire season because of injuries received while they were at home. The muscles before them properly warming up and while their muscles were yet stiff and cold, and unable to stand the sudden strain put upon them.
"The stomach is the main part of the athlete," says Mr. Markley, "and it should be kept in the best possible condition. Many athletes eat too much and many more eat too rapidly. Both are bad for the stomach and should be guarded against. While a sensitive athlete they are also true for everybody. If people in general would be more careful of what they eat and how they eat it there would be much less sickness.
"The track men are rounding into shape nicely for the big meets and I feel sure that most of them will better their former marks when they meet strenuous competition" said the trainer last night. "The injury is well covered by next week and should make a good show in the Western Conference meet at Chicago on June 3 this year."
DIET. CLOTHES, CALORIES'
New Home Economics Courses Offered Next Term
Three new courses, "Public Aspects of the Household," "Food and Nutrition," and "Clothing Design" will be offered at Penn State's home economics next fall.
The first course mentioned lays special emphasis on state and federal laws which are most directly related to the welfare of the students, the more important problems dealing with the welfare of the household before the students who feel that they do not care to specialize in home management will wish the benefit of such a course.
A general survey of the principles of diet, food habits, dietary standards and the relation of food to health is made by the class in Food and Nutrition. This course presents the more elementary problems connected with food and digestion, and teaches the student the various food values.
The course in Clothing Design takes up color and design, and includes a study of the various textiles. It teaches in a scientific way the principles back of home-dressmaking and home-buying, and enables the student to discriminate between good and poor qualities.
"Our purpose is to make this a department of service and we are arranging these courses to accommodate the students who want the work and have not the time to complete all the courses offered," explained Miss Elizabeth Sprague, head of the department.
Three hours' credit is given in each of the courses. There is no laboratory work; the time is spent in lectures and recitations.
The New York Times has this to say, "Aside from the fact that it is one of the most laughter-provoking stories in the world, the boy is also, beneath all its fun, a notable study of the psychology of the boy in his latter teens." — Ralphael

TEAM GOES TO AMES
Must Win Both Games to Keep in Pennant Race With Missouri
AGGIES HERE NEXT WEEK
Farmers Have Made Poor Showing This Year
The baseball situation in the Missouri Valley has been narrowed down to a fine point. At the present time Kansas must win every game remaining on her schedule to keep Missouri from winning the title. Even then the title would be divided between the two champions, the champion could be picked this year.
When the Tigers left Lawrence last week after dividing the McCook Field series the title was split between the two teams. Each team had to win all three games, but the Tigers have Since that time Missouri has done this. Two games with the Kannas Aggies in Columbia Monday and Tuesday resulted in shut-out victories for the Tigers to Kansas to produce the same results in the four remaining games.
TRAIN GOES TO AMES TONIGHT
The Jayhawkers will leave tonight for Des Moines where they start the final round. There are games with Ames for Thursday and Friday. These two conference games will have to be won by McCarty's men or the title is gone. On the return trip a game with the Highland Park College in Des Moines will be played Saturday afternoon.
TEAM GOES TO AMES TONIGHT
Next week the Kansas Aggies will come for the final games of the season. The Aggies do not have much of a ball team this year and if McCarthy is healthy they may look for a clean road. The Manhattan group dropped two in Columbia this week without even getting a single run. Giltner pitched the Tigers to their first victory 3 to 0 while Brewer's star pitcher was saved for the second game which he won 2-1. Brewer's team has six Arkansas Aggies have two more games and K. U. has five more games four of which are conference battles.

MAY ARRANGE SPECIAL SERIES
series of three games between Kansas and Missouri will be scheduled this spring to settle the disputed title. Coaches McCarty and Brewer talked of such a series while together in Lawrence last week and both are involved in the arrangements were made and the chances are slight for playing the series. But if Kansas wins the remaining games Manager Hamilton and Coach McCarty will do every one can get to a play-off series arranged.
PITCHERS ARE GOING GOOD
The K. U, pitching star is in first class shape for the northern trip. Smee and Craig will be the pitching in the two conference games but McCarty has made up his mind who will get in first. Porter is slated to be in second place. Moines Saturday afternoon unless one of the star pitchers cares to repeat.
McCarty will take a line-up of twelve or thirteen on a tonight's trip. He has not announced a line-up yet and does not intend to until this afternoon but the same squad which took the Missouri trip will doubtless get to ride the Pullmans tonight. The team will return to Lawrence Sunday morning.

AGGIE RULE IS STRICT
Have Few "Parlor" Privileges
But Lax Closing
Hours
The Aggie Woman's date may not arrive before seven nor stay in the parlor later than ten o'clock, according to the rules of women's rooming houses by the Dean of Women at K. S. A. C. And then perhaps only on Friday and Saturday nights—for Sunday calls are more dissection of the individual landlades.
Afternoon calls are crowned on by the authorities, but "generously inclined landlady may permit such between the hours of four and half past five. When he calls to take her to the movie (the rules say "an entertainment") the man is allowed "reception room privileges while waiting," but on their return the same is not permitted. It must at least be
gratifying to the Aggie date to know that he will not have to wait on the porch when the thermometer is at 17 below.
Thus far the rules may seem more stringent than these at the University, but the rules mentioned apply only to "parlor hours." Nothing is said about the time of closing the house at night. Perhaps that is implied, or it may be left to others than the landlords for enforcement.
