RELAY MEN TO ST. LOUIS
Hamilton's Timemakers Will Compete In Big Missouri Meet
The Kansas relay squad, Archie Grady, two miler, Hirriott, Miltra, Trewrecke, high jumper, and at least one other man, will be taken by Coach Hamilton to St. Louis, March 24, for the annual indoor meet of the Missouri Athletic Association, according to an announcement made today.
Although entering a number of men, Coach Hamilton will probably defer his final choice about the Jawayhaker team for the Miss American that he may reward some athlete who shows up particularly well with the St. Louis trip.
HAMILTON IS COUNTING ON
GILLESPIE BOYS RETURNING
"I hope that the report is not true," said Munger Hamilton yesterday afternoon in referring to the story that the Gillespie brothers were to play with Henry Kendal College next year. "We were counting on him. Lester back next season, because when he left we could look for him, whenever football practice, and up-to-date we have heard nothing to the contrary."
Mr. Hamilton went on to say that if the report were true, that Kendal would be so easy pick and choose but he wouldn't think some more about that 14-13 game.

EDITH BIDEAU WILL SING
BASEBALL BUG BITES
Miss Edith Bideau, the Kansas soprano who is to give her concert in the Bowersock theater, Wednesday, March 15, is a graduate of the versity Kansas. The band, much of which came upon the talent of Kansas artists through her singing.

After graduation from the University she spent two years in Italy as a pupil of Madame Barracacha. Upon her return to France she attended concert work, appearing two seasons with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, and also assisting Madame de Montmartre at the Russian contralto, and Edward Kreiser of Kansas City.
J. H. Shaft, of Kansas City, Mo., was in Lawrence, Friday visiting his son, Paul, sophomore Engineer. Mr. Shaft was on his way home from Cottonwood Falls, where he has been on business.
Miss Bideau graduated from the University in 1913. While in college she was active in numerous college activities, among them the Girls' Glee Club and appeared frequently in concert in several central states. She has been termed "the wonderful Kansas Soprano."
Harry Montgomery, '18. College returned this morning from Junction City where he spent Saturday and Sunday with his parents.
WILL GET OUT-OF-DOORS
With the coming of the clear weather the Kansas baseball squad is making preparations to get out of the gym and have a real workout on the McCook diamond. The afternoon practices in the gym are growing decidedly tiresome, and McCarty's protacles are anxious to get out in the open where they can have some real work outs.
Practice In Gym Grows Irksome as Buds Swell
Then the applications for positions on the team other than the battery want a chance to work out. The call for players so far has been limited to battery candidates. It is too crowded to allow the fielders a chance to limber up. Now that spring comes, the whole team wants to play.
play.
Some twenty candidates have been working out for the battery jobs. McCarty has quite a few pitchers lined up but none of them show any greater speed than they had last year. Lefty Sproull is the only man who worked on the mound at home, who will not be back in George Smee, who will not be back in George Smee, who is eligible for Varsity competition this spring. With Red Craig going at his pace of last year, McCarty ought to have little trouble with his pitching staff. In fact, that department looks stronger than it has since the Bishop-Smee instruction of two years ago. Another Fischer, and Moss are a few three men who worked in a few games last year and are after pitching jobs again this year.

The receiving end of the battery is more in doubt. Harold DeLongry, the 1915 captain who worked behind the bat, graduated last spring. He marched in a tandem and pitch hitter, is out of school this year and will not return for the spring training season, although he has another year of eligibility. Most players are regulars behind him but last year and now a novice will have to be broken in. Captain Wandel is trying his hand at this part of the game and it is possible that he will be seen directing his team from there but this year instead of in center field.
Alteggen Kansas is going to have a great team this year. There is an abundance of letter men back for regular positions and the large amount of new material is going to cause considerable competition for berths.
"K" MEN ACT AS OFFICIALS
Plan Devised to Get Information Regarding H. S. Stars
The "Varsity" coaches have devised a new plan for getting a line on high school athletic stars, by sending K. U. athletes over the state to officiate in the inter-high school games. These men are to talk "K. U." and will report any new finds or good prospects.
Manager W. D. Hamilton said yesterday, "Our new system will, I think, be better than that of Nebraska." It is, moreover, in Missouri Valley rules and with the Kansas standard of clean athletics."
The plan is to send a circular letter to each high school principal and manager of athletics offering to furnish good official if the students will pay his expenses. The high school will receive two of the men at a much lower cost than a paid official. The man sent gets the trip and the experience and the University he has in activities find out about the men of the two competing high schools at age 18.
The man going out is supplied with a blank form on which to record the game, date, teams, names of players and positions, showing of each, and remarks and general comment on the playing of individuals.
The new idea is just being put into operation and already returns are coming in from various high schools. By next fall Manager W. O. Hamilton expects, with the aid of the high school authorities, to have complete information on every high school man in the state.
"The Crow's' Nest," a rooming house for boys at 1220 Louisiana, is now the proud possessor of an art-craft sign bearing the name of the house. The sign was made and decorated by Floyd Welsh, a freshman.
BOARD WILL AWARD "KS"
Coach Herman Olcott expresses himself as well pleased with the new system. He believes it will mean a great future for athletics at K. U.
The entire Beta fraternity of the University of Oklahoma waded bare-foot in the snow, clad in "bathrobes or less" last Monday night when the temporary quarters of Beta Theta Pi were destroyed by fire.
Letters For Basketball Squad To Be Given This Week
A meeting of the athletic board to hear the recommendations of Coach W. O. Hamilton in regard to basketball letters for the season just ended has been called for this week, and will be added either Thursday or Friday noon.
Mrs. O, R. Farris of Norwich, Kansas, was in Lawrence Sunday visiting her son Olen, a junior in the School of Pharmacy.
Nothing definite in regard to the number of letters to be awarded has been announced, but it is known that the number will either be three or four or six or eight. Upon the final result, the judge may ask as to whether in his judgment more than three players on the 1916 squad deserve K's, will rest the matter.

RUNNERS IN PENN GAMES
K. U. Speed Boys Will Meet Eastern Tracksters— Maybe
Kansas will be represented in the four mile relay, the high and broad jumps, and perhaps the one mile relay at the big athletic carnival to be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, April 29. This will give K. Williams a chance to meet the best athletes in the country and to compete in one of the biggest and classiest set of games to be held this year. Rodkey, Harriot, Sproul, Grady, and Treweke are entered, and Coach Hamilton said last night that the showing may be in the indoor meet with Missouri on March 17 determine whether they will make the trip to Philadelphia.
The University of Pennsylvania Interscholastic and Intercollegiate Relay Race Carnival, as the games are called, is one of the biggest athletic stunts held in America, according to Coach Hamilton. The last Saturday in April each year sees Franklin Field alive with grammar school, high school, college, and university athletes of all sizes and abilities. Although primary schools in Pennsylvania has added six of the most spectacular events of the track and field program in order to induce the competition of the country's best men. These six are the high jump, broad jump, one hundred
The relay races are of all distances, the collegiate competitions ranging from one half mile to four miles, and never fail to bring out the best runners in the United States. The special events are always closely contested and good records are sure to be made, the weather permitting.

Jayhawk's Ancient Enemy Allies Himself With Missouri Track Team
Its arrival, which almost inevitably coincides with the Missouri indoor track meet, was last night and Joseph Humpy Campbell was the first victim. In reality, he was not usually, but his case is not regarded as quite as serious as that of Campbell's.
A badly infected knee is the way attending physician diagnosed Campbell's injury and the star quarter miler and relay man is expected not only to miss all of the crucial practices for the next week, but there is a
dangerous possibility of his not being able to be in the meet.
The case of Treweke, while important, is not as serious as the other injury. His eagerness in running the high hurdles, developed a swell bunch of muscles and has a horse." While it will probably not interfere with his jumping in the Tiger meet, the injuries will keep him away from the hurdle practice and will wreck another hope of Coach Hamill's hope of closing a real competition for Simpson.

ARE YOU A PESSIMIST?
If you don't really know what a pessimist is, you can't hardly answer that question. You do know, however, that it has a mean, disagreeable sound and that you don't want to be one. One of the wits says that "A pessimist is a man who sleeps unsoundly through the night for fear it will soon be morning." Poor man, you say. But
Are you sleeping unsoundly through the night in the fear that your competitor is getting more than his share of the trade? Is he really getting it? If so, why? Are you a pessimist? Did you insert one little ad in the paper the other day and then holler your head off every time a newspaper man came in the office about "not being able to see that it brought any results?" If you want student trade—and it is a safe bet that you do—the only way to get it is to go out after it. Your only way of letting the students know what you have is through the advertising columns of the University Daily Kansan. One barber has increased his business ten per cent through one month's campaign in the Kansan. One cleaner, presser and dyer has asked his advertising man to lay a little low on the dye question, as he is afraid he will run out of supplies before he can order again if suits and dresses keep coming in. And we could tell of a few other cases, too.
Mr. Business Man of Lawrence:
You know where the students trade, Business Man of Lawrence. Watch them as they go down Massachusetts street and you will see that they turn in at the places of business whose advertising they read in the University Daily Kansan.
In view of the fact that you would give your right arm to have a big share of the student trade; that you have been too short-sighted to pursue a definite advertising policy in the paper that goes to every student five times a week; that you don't act friendly to an advertising man when he walks into your store—consider him a thief and robber, trying to beat you out of your hard-earned money instead of helping you to make more—that you cuss the luck of your competitor and wonder how anybody can see anything decent about the goods he handles—if that has been your policy and you think it is time to consider some other one, we would like to help a little.
The advertising service of the University Daily Kansan is absolutely free. A man from our office would like to talk to you tomorrow. Or
ARE YOU STILL A PESSIMIST?
