TRAINING HARD
TRACK MEN GETTING READY FOR TIGERS AT K.C.
Team Will be Picked by Last of Week.—Among Other Athletes.
The track team has been going through the last stages of training during the last week and a final tryout has been in progress the last week. Yesterday, while the pole vaulters and shot putters were working in the new gymnasium, Hagerman, the amateur coach of the Jayhawkers bundled the other track men into a bus and took them to the plot in front of the Santa Fe depot for a secret tryout. The result was that a few surprises were in store for the team. Newbold, who had taken second to Driscoll in the 50, also showed a surprising amount of strength, winning the half mile with Priest a close second. The course was on grass and Priest had gym shoes while Newbold had spikes, but the fact that Newbold was still strong enough to win the half after having gone through the sprints speaks well for his ability.
Driscoll won the quarter with Dennis a close second. In this race McCoy took a third and Babb fourth. Cooley had no trouble in the mile, Cummins coming in second. As yet the two mile tryout has not been heard from. The men will soon be chosen in a regular tryout. In the hurdles, Lapham seems to be the best man in both flights. Butler also does the hurdles in good form but McCoy and Campbell are shoving him hard in the low ones.
Russell is not yet well enough to train for the polevault and Butler has the best of the bargain for second man. The shot put has not yet been decided but no one has Putnam beaten for first place. By the end of the week all the men will be chosen for the team and a complete list of the men who will meet Missouri can be made out then.
To the careful dopester, the question now is, "Will Missouri beat the Jayhawkers worse than they did last year?"
Hagerman has been throwing his whole soul into the track work and he is the only one who stands between Kansas and ignominious defeat. The Missouri team is much stronger than it was last year. Hagerman is the hope of Kansas in that he is leading a seemingly forlorn hope against the best track team west of Chicago.
The basket ball team is off on their second trip. We wait for the telegram, "We have met the enemy and they are ours;
five Tiger scalps-four of them from Joplin."
Is there any significance between the names of Newbold and Thunderbolt in describing the way the "kid" runs?
NUMBER 44
ENTHUSIASM IN CHAPEL.
Large Crowd Listens to Speeches. -- Chancellor Given Barrel of Apples.
The passage of the appropriation bill caused a demonstrative audience to fill the chapel at the Monday morning exercises. Speeches were delivered by Chancellor Strong Dean Marvin, Professor Walker and Professor Haworth. The climax of enthusiasm was reached when a crowd of engineers bore a barrel of apples to the rostrum and Sam Forter in a neat speech presented it to the Chancellor. They were purchased by the engineers to repay the Chancellor for the barrel he gave to the legislature for the $780,000.
Chancellor Strong said in his speech that the securing of the appropriation marks the greatest forward movement in the University, and for the first time puts the University in a position where it can plan for the future with a certainty of carrying out its plans.

McCune and Woodward Played Great Game.—Kansas Plays K.C.A.C.Tonight.
Warrensburg, March 5, (Special.) The University of Kansas basket ball team won an easy victory here tonight from the Warrensburg Normals by a score of 34 to 16. The Jayhawkers were in excellent shape and played rings around the Warrensburg bunch.
McCune at forward and Woodward at guard played the star game for the Kansans. McCune scored 15 points and despite the efforts of the local bunch he dropped the ball in the goal as often as it was passed to him. Woodward at guard never gave his man a chance for a goal, and himself scored 6 points on the Normals.
It was evident from the opening of the game that the visitors had the locals beaten. Faster team work, accuracy in passing the ball,and certainty in goal throwing won the Kansans the game. Curnett was the star for Warrensburg. At the end of the first half the score stood Kansas 14, Normals 10.
In the second half the visitors played even a faster game than in the first the Normals scoring only 6 points to Kansas' 20. Final score: K.U.34, Warrensburg 16.
The individual score is as follows: McCune, f. field goals 6, free goals 3; W. Miller, f. field goals 2, free goals 0; Hackett, c. field goals 3, free goals 0; M. Miller, g. field goals 1, free goals 0; Woodward, g. field goals 3, free goals 0. Referee, Roy Roberts.
