UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
RUNNERS BEGIN WORK Prepare for Indoor Track Season----K. U. Prospects Are Good
Although it is some weeks before the indoor track season starts, some of the Jayhawker runners are starting work already. No meets are held before Christmas and the only thing the men will try to do before that time will be to get in good shape for strenuous work expected after action. The day's matches have been marched but three or four affairs will be staged, the greatest of which will be the Convention Hall meet with the Tiger.
The cross country showing this fall makes things look rosy for the distance end of the track squad. Then, too, four of the distance men not coeived letters just in time but will be out on the remainder of the year. Rodkey, and Grady are the two letter men who are already in shape from the longer running while Fiske, Creighton, Sproull and Herrick started work now. Starting work Baltz, Howland came, the other four on the cross country squad, will give some of the regular a race for their positions.
An indoor meet with the Kansas Aggies will probably be the first competition the tracksters will get this year. This will probably be held at Manhattan about the time of the game, K. C. A. C. Meet when they occupy the time of Hamilton's men and a two-week's practice will bring the boys to the Missouri-Kansas affair about the match March. If possible they meet meets before the Convention Hall affair so that the men will have plenty of experience.
Now that the football season is over, Captain Reber, Heath, Keeling and Strothers will start work on indoor track. Heath and "Larry" Winn will make a pair of hurdles that will match up with the best in the Valley. This was one of the easiest asas weak points has been, but this pair of obstacleapers will remedy point of attack. Keeling, Reber and Strothers will hold down the weights. In the pole vault, Campbell will have as a teammate, Russ, a star who was here year before last. He will have his first collegiate competition this year but his splendid record shows that he will be a point winner. Dick Treweke is agilegible. He for the Varista squad this year. He holds the record for jump and all but broken the high-jump record. He will be a fine teammate for Grutzmacher and Miller, the two "K" men in these events.
Kansas has a large squad of distance men to choose a relay team from and by the time the Tiger is met the Jayhawker will be able to handle the jungle animal in this event. But practice is going on as regular no step will be taken to get the men good before vacation. Coaches Hamilton and Patterson will have charge of the men and practice will be held at four o'clock on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the first two weeks, then every day after that. There is a fine chance for many new men to meet nurses who hope to see a large number out for practice before the stiff training for the meets starts.

GEOLOGY PROFESSORS
Some of the professors in the department of geology spent their vacation in studying rock and glacial formations in different parts of the state.
Professor Twenhofel made an effort to trail the Comanche, or Lower Cretaceous, formations to the Kaw River. The country from Abilene to the Nebraska borders these formations and, as far as known, the Lower Cretaceous strata do not occur in the places examined.
Professor Todd made a study of the glacial formations about Manhattan, Wamego and St. George, in an effort to determine the limits of a lake which was made in that region during the time the Kaw river was dammed by the great glaciers of the ice age.
