ENGLISH MEETS DIFFER FROM ONES IN AMERICA
Athletes in Oxford or Cam bridge Win "Blue" Instead of "K"
English track meets are not like the American variety, according to Prof. George E. Putnam of the department of economics. Professor Edward Stern was given both sides of the Atlantic, having won the Oxford "blue" in weight events. Afterward he represented England in a competition between Oxford and Cambridge on one side and Cambridge on the other, and won points in his weight event.
Wins "Blues" Instead of Ks
Winning the "blue" in either Oxford or Cambridge means winning first place in the meets of students in one university. Oxford's blue is dark; Cambridge's positions are allowed to wear the colors—offenders against this regulation being ducked in the river by their conscientious fellow-students. Winning second place secures "half-blue." The colors displayed in clothing and pen-and-ink letters, much as they are here.
Only first place counts in the intercollegiate meets, second and third be counted.

five field and five track—but fast work is necessary. A man who cannot make a mile in less than 4:30 has small chance of being chosen to represent his college. The field events hurdles, broad jump and high jump. The track events are hundred yards, quarter, half, mile and three mile. The pole vault was once used, but a man was killed falling on the point of the pole, whereupon contest in that line was abandoned as a "dangerous American innovation." The discus arrow was also abolished for the same reason.
Indoor Meets Unknown
Indoor track meets are unknown in English schools. All students compete for all the events; the athletic team completes it as it is here to a few of the best.

JAYHAWKER HAS THREE CHANCES TO GET TIGER
Kansas Has Two Games Scheduled in Baseball and One in Track
This is to be Missouri week at K.U. Kansas will have a chance on the last three days of this week to tie wei in, but we need to knot and knots that the Tiger will not like. We tied one last week in tennis but that is of minor importance considering what the baseball and track man knows is going to do this week to that same tail.
Baseball Comes First
The baseball team is to have first shot at the Tiger when he arrives. Thursday and Friday Captain De Longy leapt the attack on Mecca Field. His man was the victories of the northern invasion and will demonstrate to the home folks that they can serve as well on the defensive as they do at invading. He scored 10 to 7 football score of last fall and can be depended upon to do his duty. Red will be the Kansas man on the mound for the first game on Saturday. Sproul will have chance at the "Tiger meat" on Friday afternoon.
Track Meet to be Close
"We have a fine chance to win," said Coach Hamilton yesterday, "But it is going to be a close meet and the men will need to work hard. This week. We have hurdle form to be corrected, wind to develop, sprinters to get in shape and field events to master. There is no time to fool around. We must work hard and watch their eating."
The prospects in track are not quite as promising as those of baseball. Figuring up the dope Missouri has a slight edge on the Jayhawkers and can be again. The cinder artists have the indoor meet to get revenge for and no one is looking for it more than Rodkey. He was beaten in Convenience League, but the latter's colleagues figured strongly in the victory. This time that event is to be different and Kansas figures on five points in the quarter and we meet figures down to the relay and about halfway to the final event will decide the winner.
Meanwhile baseball and track practice continues to hold forth on McCook Field each afternoon. The team will try to tie their share of the knots in that Tiger tail while McCarty's men urge on the speed demons. The result of enthusiasm between the two teams will tie three hard knots in the Tiger's tail this week.

SHOP WINDOW DISPLAYS LONG ROW OF ANNUALS
Growth of University Shown in Evolution of Year
Book
Simultaneously with the interest aroused by the publication of the 1915 Jayhawker, Ober's Clothing Company has leaped into the limelight with a book that will be ever published at the University. The copies of the ancient books—the first issued in 1874 and called "The Heirophanistes"—were furnished by William Wiedemann and Con Squires, and headed in Ober's window this morning.
If there was no other record of the growth of the University, its gradual development could be accurately traced in these old Annuals. The first booklet, five by eight inches in size, contained names of the faculty, undergrads, secret societies, members of literary societies, and much poetry. It was not until nine years later, that a work titled "Ciclae," appeared. It contained cartoons and a group of faculty photographs pasted in as a frontispiece, in addition to the same sort of material as was used in the Heirophanite. Another work called "Ciclae" in 1884, and the Helianthus" five years later. In this book there were good engravings of Fraser Hall, Snow Hall and the Medic Building. The Quivira," which followed the year, was the first cloth-bound book
A Book of 50 Pages
The "Kwir Book" of 1896 was paper-backed, and contained in addition to fifty pages of University writeups and cartoons, several color illustrations. The Annual of 1897 was called simply, K. U. That of 1898 was the university That-Kunshu Built, who considered a masterpiece at that time. Figuring at modern rates, the engraving for the book would cost, what then considered, the fabulous sum of $132.50. In 1899 appeared the 'Oread'; the 'Galaxy' followed in 1900; and in 1901 the 'Jayhawker' was established and since continued by all subsequent classes. All Jayhawkers have been either writer or leader in 1902 book being the first leather-bound edition.
