BALL TOSSERS BAT WHEN WIND RISES
McCarty Will not Allow Protegees to Risk Their Arms on Cold Day
Batting practice occupied the 30 K U. candidates on McCook yesterday Coach McCarty had Craig, Stiller and Ficher handing the batsmone of their stuff but with little speed or curve attached as the raw winds made it dangerous. The coach realizes that they are not enough without jeopardizing it further by giving the elements a chance at it.
And some of the old men as well as several of the new applicants for berths were clouting the ball on the spot where Fitz wasn't to pepper Jim Jeffries. Several times the sphere disappeared over the south bleachers after a snappy biff by one of the young huskies.
The veterans Captain DeLongy, Lefty Sproull, Chinningy and Wandell, all took healthy swings at the pellet as did Lindsey. Wood and Russell of his team have had to have an excellent chance of making a place on the squad for themselves. Lindsey is a candidate for an infield position and may be used for a first baseman should Lefty Sproull assume the role. The pitcher is found, Lefty is practically assured of his old place at the initial sack. The diminutive Wood would like to play short stop and has more than the "short" part to recommend him. Russell seems to be the leading hitter, but the difficult third sack guardianship.
About twenty men appeared at the opening practice of Bill Weidlein's freshman Jayhawker aggregation. Fungo hits, chasing flies, and a general limbering up were indulged in but no real work will be done this summer that will happen days to unloosen the worst kinks. The tyros have been assigned to Hamilton Field, just south of McCook.
TEN MORE PIGSKIN CHASERS
Bond and Coolidge Working Men on Old Field North of McCook
Ten additional football candidates have responded to the request of Coach Bond for more material, bringing the total number of men now working under the genial mentor to 26. Buster Coolidge is assisting with the rebuilding of the team that has been compelled to devote hi entire attention to freshman baseball.
Bond himself on one occasion was not satisfied with the way the linesmen were handling the embryonic Eckersall and took a healthy bump at a youngster before he got fairly used. The same way James were on hand but Reber stayed out of the mixing as he is saving himself for track.
The pigskin chasers have been assigned the old field north of McCook where the turf is in good condition though the ground is not quite level. And the work is about as rough as the field for the men are going at it with a vengeance. Last night punting through the grass many a prospective booster was hurled to the ground beore his foot got half way to the ball.
RAMBLING SCOOPS
AROUND McCOOK FIELD
Not Written From Notes
Manager Hamilton yesterday had to request a couple of young women, not accounted in tennis shoes, to leave the courts. The heels on street shoes cut into the damp soil and leave an uneven surface.
Lefty Sproul says that he is willing to pitch if he is the best man on the roll of hurters but thinks it is hard to play first base, his old position.
"Junk" Herriott thinks he will try for a place on the K. U. relay team and that a quarter on top of a milk will not prove too strenuous. Herriot has an ideal build and may develop the requisite amount of speed.
Wilbur took out his dislikes by handing all the athletes who dressed at McCook one of the new towels from the backpacks and from Innes, Bullene and Hackman.
W. O. Hamilton celebrated his 38th birthday yesterday by doing a hard day's work, and certainly had hard time in those hours was the K. U. mandarin's comment.
The Sig Alph was the first of the fraternity teams to take a practice on McCook. They worked from two to three yesterday.
Hamilton is offering a reward of $25 for the arrest and conviction of anyone caught forcing his way into any of the McCook Field buildings.
The Track Training table has entered the Hash House League with a formidable tie. Tony James will catch the shoots of Johnny Niles and Fredericks who will alternate be in the foreground on the mound. Lindsey at first will garner in the heaves of Wood at second, Dean at short and Crabble at third, Rodkey and Edwards, the fleet track law allows and will be relieved at time by Howland and Greene.
The tumbling team, despite a tremendous week of exhibitions for visiting athletes and Child Welfare delegates, are practicing for the annual gym club competition. Joanna is trying to perfect the good spots and build up the weak ones.
It is especially fitting that K. U. should be the scene of a successful tournament such as that in Robinson Gymnastium last week. The history of the sport has been the subject Naimish to be the inventor of this most popular of indoor games. Authorities ten years from now will give W. O. Hamilton credit for perfecting and consistently using the long pass technique which has short relay had been in vogue for a quarter of a century and had the commendation of leading authorities Two successive championship tournaments have added to the Canada's invention.
HAMILTON WOULD KILL TREES
But Ground Committee Can Not Get Together and Sanction it
Two trees which neither add to the beauty of the campus nor afford shade to the suffering on a hot day deter the work of Athletic Manager Hamilton's athletic proteges and the K. U. mandarin has been trying to get them out of the way for some time. It is also important that the University of the Grounds committee of the University must be obtained. Yesterday afternoon this committee arranged to meet on Hamilton Field just south of McCook and look into the matter. Hamilton was on hand to explain the matter at the appointed hour 4:30. Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith and Superintendent John Shea were there too, but since Chancellor Strong as well failed to arrive, Kevin and Griffith, failed to arrive, no quorum could be reached and the trees have another lease on life.
Manager Hamilton is desirous of having the committee meet in the imminent future for he says it is necessary that the matter be attended to at once.

REVIVE OLYMPIC CONTESTS
K U. Students go Ancients One Better by Adding Baseball
University of Kansas Greeks are following the example of the ancients; the stage is set, and as soon as the Easter vacation is over the first Pan-Hellenic games will be played. Four hundred fraternity men are getting ready for baseball, the dashes, the horses, the stumps, the other stunts which go to make up the annual inter-fraternity track meet to be held in Lawrence this spring.
Now it isn't the easiest thing in the world to pick up five dollar bills in K. U. Fraternity houses. So it is that every one of the 400 Greeks is work-ready at this event, and a good many of them are trying for more than one place.
Each of the twelve national fraternities must enter a man in every event. For every event that a man enters, the fraternity will have to forfeit five dollars.
Every fraternity has its baseball nine and is in one of the three divisions in a league of twelve. By no means are they all rivals, the rivalry between fraternities as to which team certain young women will support. Eighteen games will be played before the finals are arranged and the fraternity is entitled to the pennant.
After the baseball games, then the track meet. It will take a half day and the grounds will have much the appearance of an enormous picnic.
TRACKSTERS HIT CINDERS
Distance Men Take Good Spin But
Sprinters Favor Delicate Muscles
Despite the chilling breeze which seems to confront runners at every angle on McCook, more than twenty scarily attired cinder *post artists* out of the outdoor season yesterday afternoon on the newly rolled oval.
Distance runners were very much in evidence for the prospect of a trip to the Penn games is a lure which keeps every man on the squonk fighting to catch the next best man and to keep the closest competitor to the rear "Junk" Herriotti "Cap" Ed. Cole-Penn. Penny took the short circuit, several times before repairing to the stoves in the old training quarters.
Dan Hazen, captain of last year's Varsity team and holder of the University record for the high stick competition, was out in a new K. C. A. C. uniform and took a flight of the barriers but destied for fear of pulling the ropes of the plank on Penn relay team and after that may compete for the Kansas City Athletic Club in the San Francisco Exposition competition.

OF INTEREST TO MEN
We take pleasure in announcing to our readers a new feature "Of Interest to Men," beginning with this issue. A We Take Pleasure series that focuses on men and we herewith hasten to present material of special interest to this pre-classic class of readers. Our apologies are due to our big brothers in journalism, the editors of *The American men's pages* we have caught the idea.
We have spared no expense in obtaining well known experts to take charge if the various departments, which will have every phase of men's activities, letters, memoirs, reports, expounding press, politics, love affairs and hand-walted duties will be welcome.
Dear Men's Editor: I am a young fellow 35 years old, attending the University. I am the only man in a class of 100 girls, and am often much embarrassed by admiring glances cast my way. One young woman in particular seems interested in me. Should I speak to her?
Xenophon.
No, Xenophon. If the young lady is serious in her attention she will no doubt find a way. Until then remember that it was the tortoise which won the Marathon, and slow down to eight miles an hour.
Have you seen the new spring ties? They are very attractive and can be had at prices varying from twenty-five cents to a dollar and a half.
Some of the newest neckwear is made of silk, a material admirably adopted to slipping easily within the stiff folds of the new collars.
Clarence: I am sorry but I can give you no prescription that will make your mustache grow. Patience and time are the prime requisites for growing a mustache. It requires adorment. Emulate the example of members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity many of whom have been training their mustaches since September. They have found a daily combing and a weekly shampoo beneficial.
One of the latest dictates of fashion is that caps should match the spring
suit. Several young men who neglected to order caps when the tailor was taking their measurement have found themselves in a delicate position due to the fact that the tailor had used up all the cloak for the suit leaving none for making; the cap.
Frates: As to the arrangement of your three fraternity pins the authorities are not in harmony. This question has arisen only recently since the establishment of new professional and honorary organizations here. Probably the prevailing custom is to wear them in a vertical row just below some prefer the forty-five degree angle. With others the eternal triangle arrangement meets with favor.
The University Y, M. C. A. will receive $700 and the Y. W. C. A. $400 for the following year in return for services in connection with rooming houses and employment bureaus for men and women. This is the result of action taken today at a meeting of the Board of Administration.
The engineering experiment station staff as ratified by the Board of Administration today is: Frank Strong, president; P. F. Walker, director; E. Haworth, G. C. Shaad, H. A. Rice, G. Goldsmith, and W. A. Whitaker.
