RELAY TO DECIDE MEET
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 10, 1916.
Result of Coming Oral Conten at Columbia Proves Hard Nut for Dopesters
TREWEEKE CANNOT JUMP
K. U. Jumper Is On Injured List —Distances Uncertain
Figuring a Missouri-Kansas track meet without having the result hinge on the relay, is like predicting when the war will be over.
So it is that when the K, U. track experts including the coaches, started figuring Friday night at the close of the Nebraska meet over the Kansas prospects in the coming Tiger meet Saturday at Columbia, the same old question came up, who will get the relav and the meet?
While victorious in the Cornhusker dual affair, Kansas showed Coach Hamilton that he will not have the team to pitt against the Tigers in the outdoor meet that he had in March for the Convention Hall indoor battle. Even against the Huskers, the K. U. weaknesses in the hurdles and sprints showed, and although Elliott won the high sticks, there is no doubt that against Missouri Kassas can in either of the two hurdle events. Adding eight more points for the hundred yard dash gives Missouri a twenty-four point lead before K. U. points are even started to be figured.
TREWEEKE GREATLY NEEDED
But the clean sweep of the two-mile, mile, and half, again brings the score back to the starting place leaving nine points for the meet about a fifty-fifty affair.
THEWEKEK GREATLY NEEDED!
With Trewekek able to be in the meet and contribute his first place in the high jump, Kansas might be able to out the relay. But the Wichita boy has a chance at the Jayhawkey chances in the event rest with Rice, the recruit, who won three place against Nebraska with five feet nine inches, but in the broad jump, it will mean that Bob Simpson, Tiger all around star will be able to add another first to his long string.
AHAKE UP IN DISTANCES?
Grutzmacher is sure of a second and with the tired Simpson after three races may be able to grab first, but the coaches are not figuring it as a necessity. And that is what goes into the Jayhawk dope sheet right now.
DOPE FAVORS TIGERS
Taking Tuesday's interclass meet as a criterion, the K. U. distance men are in for a considerable shakeup in Saturday's contest at Columbia. The mass of Friday's teammates from the coaches to use Sproull in the half mile, Grady with Herriott in the mile, and to leave Stateler and Groene to handle the two mile. The shift would keep any man From running more than one race and would be much less demanding for the Tigers are noted for strength in any of the distance events.

HEAR OF LOST STUDENT
Disappearance of David Taylor Explained by Letter
The mystery of the disappearance of David Taylor, on Monday, May 1, has at last been solved. Until yesterday, no word as to his whereabouts had been received by his friends here or by the landlady of his rooming house.
NUMBER 149.
After eating breakfast at his club on May 1, Taylor left Lawrence with only the clothes that he wore—enough for a short stay of a day or two. His roommate received a postal card from Kansas City yesterday stating that Taylor was busy there and had decided to give up his work at the University. The postal officer also replied that he only ordered of clothes. He asked that his trunk and suit cases be sent to the Union Station in Kansas City.
Taylor entered the University at the beginning of this semester.
Fred McNeill, '10E, scoutmaster of the boys of Lawrence, took his troop out to Blue Mound Saturday for an open-air test of their scout craft. The boys were tested in first-aid, fire-building, and other camp tricks. They passed a very good examination, McNeil says.
K. U. DAMES MEET TODAY TO PLAN FOR NEXT
The K. U. Dames met this afternoon with Mrs. Stiles, 1215 Kentucky street. The afternoon will be occupied with needlework.
This year the club has been of a purely social nature, but this after-
part will still consider the taking up of domestic work as the next year. The club meets once a week.
The present officers are: Mrs. Henry Gray, president; Mrs. Walter secretary and treasurer; Mrs. Daniel Johnson, corresponding secretary.
CELEBRATION NOW
Semi-Centennial Observance to be Postponed One Year Senate Says
The University Senate at a regular meeting yesterday afternoon voted that the semi-centennial celebration would be postponed one year.
The estimated expense of the fifteenth anniversary celebration was placed at $4,000. In view of the financial situation of the University the student was not expedient to spend that amount was the general impression of the members present that the appropriation for the celebration would likely come out of the salaries of the lower rank faculty members. To avoid this, it should be asked that the legislature should be asked to provide propitation at the next session. By this method the University would receive the sanction of the legislature and probably a larger sum of money for the purpose of a celebration.
The delay of a year the Senate thought to be not untimely as the two last world fairs have been one year late. The program for the celéation will include a University Exposition, the largest best music obtainable and many noted speakers. The Chancellor announced the following members as executive committeemen on the Semi-centennial celebration: Profs. A. T. Walker, Alice L. Goetz, H. L. Butler, U. G. Mitchell, Alice L. Goetz, H. L. Butler, J. N. Van der Vries
In regard to the granting of credit in the University for post graduate work in the high school the applicant for credit must first satisfy a list of conditions. The credit will be given upon completion, and correspond to courses in the school of education in which the applicant desires credit. The applicant must satisfactorily pass an examination set by the University before receiving credit. Principals should send in the names and school records for applicants of advanced standing not later than 14, 15, 16, the first semester and not later than the second semester. A matriculation fee of five dollars will be charged.
DISCUSS SHORTENING OF PERIODS
The Chancellor was requested to conduct convocations in arranging plan suggestions for 1917-18, and plan suggested the shortening of all morning class periods so that the time required shall be taken from them all equally. The second plan was to eliminate the 10:30 and 11:30 classes and to adopt the one plan or the other as it should seem admissible to do.
A committee was appointed to consider and report on the question of travel credit and another to consider and report recommendations on a plan if organization and administration of the Student Loan Fund.*

SIGMA CHIP'S WIN MEET
Follow With Scout to Winners' 39 Points
COWGILL
IS STAR MAN
His 100-Yard Dash Time Faster Than Varsity
The Sigma Chis had little trouble in winning the annual Pan-hellenic track meet on McCook Field this year. A much closer score was looked for among the Greeks and a few upsets in dope allowed the Sigs to take a big lead in the final score. They gathered a total of 39 1-3 points while the nearest competitor, Sigma Alpha Epiphany, annexed 27 points.
**organizations were:**
Sigma Chi ... 39 1-3
Sigma Alpha Epsilon ... 27
Sigma Nu ... 15
Delta Tau Delta ... 12
Pi Kappa Alpha ... 8 1-3
Phi Kappa Psi ... 5
Kappa Sigma ... 3
Phi Delta Theta ... 3
Acacia ... 2
Delta Tau Omega ... 1 1-3
Phi Gamma Delta ... 1
Beta Theta Pi ... 0
Cowgill was the star of the meet in the point getting line. Russ captured three firsts in the dashes and counted fifteen points for his squad. His time in the 100 yard dash was unusually fast and faster than, most of the regular varsity meet times. Rustenback was the mainstay of the Sigma Nu aggregation but he was the team's fastest man in every race. He looked to SIGma Nu's fifteen points and help them to place second in the relay.
RUSS COWGILL A STAR
One of the surprises of the meet was Krumback, Delta Tau, who won the half-mile easily in 2:12:4. He proved to be the dark horse of the meet for everyone had conceded the Sig Alpa this race with Murphy as the winner. Murphy was pushed too hard in the quarter mile by the Sigma Chi entry, Baker.
RELAY IN TWO DIVISIONS
The relay was run in two divisions of six teams each regular points were counted in both relays and the races were counted as extra events on the program. A final relay was not necessary under this arrangement. In the first relay, Slats Cone running last for the Kappa Alphas took a good first but he had to work mighty hard. Sigma Nu and Phi Gamma Delta ran an almost dead heat in this event but Rustenback, by swelling his chest to an abnormal capacity, succeeded in crossing the line first. The second team was easy victory for the Sig Alpha and Sigma Chi second. The secret

BECKER IN LAST ADDRESS
First Speaker in Thursday Faculty Lectures
In launching this system of faculty lecture, Dean Oln Templin is going on the theory that the University has as with a source of speakers as can be found anywhere and it should be the privilege for the students to hear them occasionally.
"Thursday Afternoon Faculty Lectures" will hereafter be a preeminent institution in the University. Prof. Carl Becker will start the precedent tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock when he speaks on the subject of "Be候ressor," with a subtitle, "by one whose early training was not of the best."
Prof. R. M. Ogden of the department of psychology will lecture a week from tomorrow, May 25. This will be the last lecture of the year but a complete program will be arranged for next fall. Both professors will go to positions in other universities next year.
"The address of Professor Becker tomorrow afternoon will be the occasion for an expression of the regard in which he is held by his colleagues in the faculty." said Dean Templin this morning.
Professor Becker has been recognized during his years of service here as being one of the most successful teachers in the University. He has also won rather a peculiar position in the faculty. His departure is keenly regretted by his colleagues who are exposed to his expression to their feeling by their presence at this, his last public appearance in the University of Kansas.
This gathering of the faculty will add interest to the occasion for the student body. The subject of Professor Becker's address is "Being A Professor, by One Whose Early Training Was Not of the Best."
