UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
To the Faculty Men and Students of the University
Another old time store changes hands. Forty-seven years of business with University people.
Do you know that this store is almost as old? Do you know that for 40 years this store has supplied you with your magazines, athletic wear, and cigars.
Do you know that the men of '75 bought the above things here and from that date on to the present time? We are proud of that record and we have a right to be. There is not a student or faculty man in the University that does not feel absolutely at home in this store, and not a one that has not felt this way in the past 40 years.

NOW COMES GYM MEET LAWYERS NEED SPANISH
K. U., the Aggies, and the Normals Will Fight For Honors
A triangular meet of gym teams will be held between the University of Kansas, the Agnies, and the Normals, at Emporia March 17. Competition will be held in the following events: parallel bar, high bar, side horse and tumbling. Each competitor select three combinations of exercises, use a pair of gloves, and approach to apparatus, difficulty of combination, muscular control and form of execution and dismount from apparatus.
The first intercollegiate gym meet in this section of the country was held at Stillwater, Okla., between the Kansas State Normals and the Kentucky College, resulting in a victory for the latter by a score of 25 to 15. This meet was a success in every respect, and from the interest shown in the event it is best pretended that the testors will become a recognized sport in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Some very promising material for such a sport is to be found at K. U. Jenson and Graham are excellent in work on the high bar, while Lewis Foster, freshman quarterback, is working with K. U. Jenson's gymnast. Walter Wood is capable of doing very neat work in this form of sport. As a tumbler and wrestler, "Jick" Fast is as strong as he is on the gridiron. Other men just as promising are John Cary, Kenneth Bell, C. E. Spencer, and Art Wylstraw. Practice for the team is held on Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30.
John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds at the University, has definitely stated that he will not construct a bridge across the golf links this year and that the coating enthusiasts might take the safer course with their bobs instead of trying to make a quick turn to avoid the ditch and the fence about Hamilton Field.
A wrestling tournament, it is hoped,
will be scheduled for the same evening
as the gym meet. Men weighing between
135 and 190 pounds who have
had previous experience in wrestling
are urged to report to H. A. Lorenz.
The night school gymnasium class for all women of the faculty, wives connected with the University, is still open to new members. The class will continue until the hour until 8:30 is spent in regular gymnasium work. The half hour from 8:30 to 9:00 is devoted to folk dances. Instead of the gymnasium work or dancing the women may swim during the class beginning soon becoming quite expert in this sport, which they thoroughly enjoy. The class will continue to meet until the first of May.

One Cannot Handle Crimein Practice Without It, Says Professor
Spanish for lawyers practicing in this section of the country has become almost a necessity, according to Prof. A. L. Owen of the department of Rochester, where he has been called upon five times within the last twelve months to act as interpreter for Mexicans on trial, and several times to interpret preliminary examinations. Spanish, he says, is the language a lawyer can take outside of Latin.
"Among all modern languages," said Professor Owens, "in a lawyer's practice Spanish is the most preferable. If a student intends to practice Spanish he must be born in western state, he ought to know Spanish. He can not possibly handle criminal practice without it. A little over a year ago then he went to Mexico living here in Lawrence. In Kansas City there are several thousand, while there are several Kansas towns that are largely composed of Mexicans and English."
In a Spanish class taught by Professor Owen in the manual training building of the Lawrence high school every week, two of his most interested students are practicing lawyers—J. S. Amick, county attorney and a K. U. graduate, and C. E. Lindsey, judge of the probate court. All take a very keen interest in the law, seven members of the faculty are taking Professor Owen's weekly course. They are Prof. William M. Duffus, Prof. L. B. McCarty, Dr. Alice L. Goetz, Miss Nellie M. Stevens, and Miss Elsa Bradley.
Coach McCarty wants all candidates for the positions of pitcher and catcher to report at the gymnasium from 1:30 to 3:30 Thursday, Feb. 17.

BEGIN AGGIE TRYOUTS
Coach Hamilton Pleased With Strong Showing Made by First Division Candidates
The first part of the tryouts for the Aggie track meet were held yesterday, and Coach Hamilton said fairly good time was made in all events and Coach Hamilton will have every reason in the world to expect a team squad in Manhattan Monday night.
In the distances the Kansas men are showing wonderful speed this year. Every man whom Hamilton is counting on seems to be in first-class shape, and from a few colds, and the rest of them, he wears the same uniform in men tin-top shape for the Argies.
The first event on the tryout program proved the most interesting race of the afternoon. This had to be run in one and only four men could跑入 a one-kilometer saw Rodkey, Elliott, O'Leary and Campbell on their marks and the crowd looked for one of the prettiest races of the year. They were not disinterested when they met when O'Leary defeated Rodkey by a foot. Campbell and Elliott fought the other two all the way and the last man finished only one second behind him as time withk won the second in good time in kickoff, Dillon, freshman, right on his heels.
Practically the same men will toe the mark tomorrow for the half mile and the classy race will be repeated in the nine lap distance. It is probable, also, that Herriot, and Sproull will also tryout in this event.
The mile race was also an interesting race from the spectators' point of view. A fast race was run and this race made the rivalry among the contestants more intense. Herriott had no trouble in winning the race while Sprout after fighting hard was only able to finish fifteen yards behind. Grady and Howland entered the race but they were saving up for the mile tryout which comes tomorrow.
The sprints in the Aggie meet will probably see the same men on the mark as were sent against the Normals last week. The tryouts brought out no new men and the same ones will race after the grapes.
After the remainder of the tryouts tomorrow the men will only have light workouts until Monday. No hard races will be run and "warming up" each afternoon will be the workout. But the coaches will have a hard "workout" when they try to pick sixen matches against me. A Conference ruling limits the number of men in an indoor dual meet to sixteen. Thus, when ten events and a relay have to be run some close figuring is necessary.
Can it be that University students in the department of history have really turned "highbrows," or that they are merely up to the time honored custom of trying to make a good impression upon their instructors by a few well placed recitations at the library, but not so much as to be exemplars of the history librarians reports that the students are making such a run upon the books of his department since the beginning of the semester that he has been thoroughly disappointed in thinking that he would be able to do some undisturbed study and then be rewarded with an sarcastic say that the students are equally distributed among the classes under Professors Becker, Dykstra, Davis, and Patterson.
