Company M Can Be At Mobiliza tion Point Three Days After Orders Come
K. U. READY FOR WAR K.U. MAY GET REVENGE
WOULD SEND 2 COMPANIES
Lieutenant Briggs Believes Another Co. Could be Organized
If General Pershing's call yesterday for more men to help catch Villa should be relayed on to Kansas two complete companies could be organized at the University, is the belief of M. Bristg, Mr. Brigant, Lieutenant, K. N. G.
"While I am not giving this out as a scarce," he said, "we can never tell when we may receive telegram from India or Kansas to Kauai for its quota of men.
"If the order came we would be at the place of mobilization in three days. Our equipment is all in the order and we number sixty-five men. This is the peace strength of a company, which in war time is increased to any number that the War Department sees fit."
IS SIX YEARS OLD
Company M was established here about six years ago, largely through the efforts of Dr. James Naismith, University physician. Charles R. Schleifer, a student who assisted in the work of organization, was made captain the first year. At that time it was known as the 1st Provisional Company M. 19th became Company M. 1st Infortry. It was then placed under the command of Wilder S. Metcalf, colonel of the regiment.
Although the present company has its armory in Pobinson Gymnasium, it is no way controlled by the University and is not connected with the department of physical education. However, any member of Company M may obtain Gym credit by doing extra work as assigned by his officers. The property, valued at $7000, is furnished by the government, through the state's insurer, for the numbers of the company are paid according to their rank and length of service, a ten per cent increase being added for each year a man has served.
NOT CONTROLLED BY UNIVERSITY
The total enlistment is sixty-five men, commanded by Captain Frank E. Jones. Lieutenants on Edward M. Briggs and Benjamin L. Daum officers, while Marril F. Daeum and Charles B. Eggen are the staff sergeants.
TAU BETA PI TO INITIATE
The K. U. chapter of Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, will hold its semi-annual banquet and intermission Thursday evening, March 23. About forty members are expected to be present, including a number of the alumni of the engineering school, and from different parts of the state.

Lefevre, Hugh Crawford, Charles Sloane, Burnett B. Gower, George Johnson, Matt E. Hood, Robert of Krasnae Mo. The students listed here are the men who stood highest in scholarship in the junior class at the end of the first semester this year.
The following program of toasts will follow the six course banquet which will be served after the initiation: "Architecture for Engineers," E. W. Tanner, "Hydraulic Caissons," A. L. Hedrick of Kansas City, Mo., and Roberts of Sturgeon's trust." Prof. H. Roberts; "Books on Knocks," H. W. Cawford.
Dr. Alice Goetz and her assistants are planning an athletic tourney for May 1. Preliminary field work has been started this week. A large number of women are signing up for the tournaments, and many are preliminary to the final tournament. Bertha Ketchel is organizing hockey teams which will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Track Team Will Try to Blot Our Recent Missouri Defeat in St. Louis Meet
Rodkey, et al., Expect to Bring Home the Bacon
K. U. LOOKS FOR RELAY
The K. U., relay squad will have a quick opportunity to get revenge for Friday night's defeat in Convention Hall and the loss of the annual dual meet with Missouri. Along with the Tigers, Nebraska, Ames, and probably several other Missouri Valley schools, the Jayhawk relay quartet will be sent to St. Louis to meet the team to be staged in the Missouri metropolis Saturday night under the auspices of the Missouri Athletic Association.
And to several of the members of the Hawkeye squad and particularly one Frederick Rodky it seems as if the hand of fate is intervening to give the Crimson and Blue a chance to convince the Missouri team and Coach Indian Schulte in particular that it was only lucky I am that I accept the Convention Hall relay and the meet. With Humpy Campbell again rounding into shape the Kansas squad will probably be in top form for the St. Louis meet and expect to easily shatter the indoor record of 3:29 3-5 made in Convention Hall by the Tigers. Kansas will also have an advantage with other relay contests in the race for the trophy, but the slight opportunity to run in some of their favorite tricks as they do frequently when running only a dual relay.
In addition to the relay squad of Rodkey, Elliott, Campbell, O'Leary and Fiske, Coach Hamilton has entered Dick Trewecke winner of the Convention Hall high jump with his leap of 6 feet 1 inch. Arch Graduate Marshall Mayo will enter the pitcher Junk Harriett holder of the Conference mile indoor record, Captain Bonnie Reber and Cargill Sproull Harriett's running mate in the mile. Whether all of these additional men will be taken to St. Louis will be decided by tomorrow morning. The team will be led by Coach Hamilton or Coach Patterson will probably leave Friday night for St. Louis.
MAY NOT LAND CLARK
Illinois Coach Has Not Accepted;
Better Offers Elsewhere
Parsimony in athletic salaries similar to that shown in other faculty positions may keep Kansas from getting the services of George Clark, an assistant gridron coach to Bean Olcott for next season.
Clark was elected to the position as successor to Jay Bond several weeks ago by the University Athletic Board but no notice of his acceptance has been received yet. With several much more lucrative postseason candidates, Clark will only decide in favor of Kansas because of the advantage to be gained in getting a coaching reputation in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Thomas O. Tarrant, '18 College, was one of the K. U. rooters at the track meet in Kansas City Friday. As he is conservative in his betting he managed to keep enough money to stay over till Sunday night.
