READY FOR MEET
--half than has yet been pulled off at Missouri. The low hurdles should be a great race. Both the Jayhawkers and Tigers are loping along at seven flat—which won the hurdles last year. Lapham and McCoy have the greatest speed in the fence races. Russell is nearing the eleven foot mark in the pole vault. Putnam is coming along nicely tossing the pebble in his
KANSAS TRACK TEAM IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.
As the indoor meet approaches, there is more and more hope in the Jayhawker camp. Monday night Parker made five-eight in the high jump. Driscoll and Babb are running the 50 in excellent form. Driscoll is doing the quarter in fast time, and if the reports that come from Columbia are true, Priest and Newbold are running a faster

old form, and is conceded first by the Tigers.
The only dark spot is in the mile. Cooley has a very bad ankle and cannot hope to do much better than five minutes. His unfortunate accident, coming as it does during the final training is hard to remedy. Worden will be in fine form by the time of the meet and his steady improvement is remarkable. In the two miles, Cummins will have to tussle with Jackson and Snyder or Jones. He will be kept fresh and his showing will greatly determine his ability as a two miler.
The relay will be as exciting as ever with the "dope" all in favor of the Tigers. However, one thing is certain—this meet will be a real meet and the Tigers will have a run for their money. Monilaw had a crack team to start with and only a few vacancies—that of Anderson being practically all he had to fill. On the other hand, out of fifteen men, six are new to the Kansas team and two of them never saw a track suit until last fall.
By giving Kansas second in the fifty, first in the quarter and half, second in the mile and two-mile runs, second in the hurdles, first second in the high jump, first in the pole vault and high jump, the meet would be won 43 to 37 before the relay. Giving the Tigers the relay would not give them the meet with these figures. It's up to the men to do their best for the above result and a first in the low hurdles by Lapham or McCoy would be greatly appreciated.
Coach J. P. Hagerman, who has given Kansas his time all afternoon for three months without renumeration, will give his dope in chapel on Thursday morning. It is whispered that "Hagie" has something up his sleeve which he will disclose Thursday morning. At least, his "dope" will be worth hearing.
Chamber Music Recital.
A chamber music recital will be given in Fraser Hall tomorrow evening by the Wylie Quintet Club of Kansas City. Mr.Wylie, who was director of the violin department two years ago, has given several similar concerts here which were greatly enjoyed by the music loving public.

Play Good Games at Kansas City and Missouri.-Defeated Last Night.
Crippled and bruised, the basket ball team returned today. They lost the second game to the Tigers, at Columbia last night by a score of 33 to 13. In the first half the Kansans were in the game and at the close of the half the score was 10 to 7 in Missouri's favor. In the second half Kansas never found the basket, and never even came near making a field throw. The only points made in the second half were made from the Tigers fouls. The individual score of the Kansans last night was: McCune, f., goals 0, free throws 0, fouls 1; Wohler, f., goals 0, free throws 0, fouls 0; Bergen, c., goals 3, free throws 0; fouls 4; M. Miller, g., 0, free throws, 0, fouls 5; Woodword, g., goals 0, free throws 6, fouls 0. Officials Ebright and Roberts.
The night before the boys did much betrer, playing a game of 34 to 31. At the end of the regular game the score was 31 to 31. Missouri, however, succeeded in making the first three points when the ball was put in play and as a result won the game.
Out of the six games played on this trip Kansas has lost four, winning only from Warrensburg the first game and from Kirksville. The worst defeat was at Independence, when the soldiers run up a score of 41 to K. U.'s 15. At Kansas City the Jayhawkers made a good showing against K.C.A.C.
