NUMBER 41
MEN CHOSEN TO MEET M. U.
COACH HAGERMAN HAS SELECTED 15 MEN.
Men Who go to Convention Hall Will be put on Training Table Friday.
Last Saturday afternoon, in a series of well conducted tryouts, Coach Hagerman picked the men who will go to Kansas City on March 13, to meet Missouri in Convention Hall. There will be eleven events in this indoor meet and fifteen men will make up the squad.
McCoy and Dennis will run the 50 yard; Martindell and Mitchell the high hurdles; McCoy and Mitchell the low hurdles; Dennis and Martindell the quarter; Captain Priest and Allendorfer the half; Cooley and Gutherie the mile; Cummins and Gutherie the two mile; Dennis, Martindell, Priest, Allendorfer, McCoy the relay. Cohn and Stephenson will be the shot putters; Parker and Young the high jumpers; Wenger and Coventry the pole vaulters.
Commencing next Friday evening the fifteen men who go to Convention Hall will go on a training table at the Eldridge House. Coach Hagerman will sit at the head of the table and see that the men keep on diet. The whole track squad is in fairly good condition. Coach Hagerman was more than pleased with the results of the track meet Saturday and the dopesters have already figured that Kansas has a good chance to take 43 of the 85 possible points. The slogan of the track men is "If we don't beat Missouri this year, we never will!"
BRIEF BITS OF TRACK GOSSIP.
BRIEF BITS OF TRACK GOSSIP.
Cohn put the shot 38 feet 2 inches in practice Tuesday.
Stephenson can do 37 feet.
In Wenger and Coventry K. U. has two good pole vaulters Both are new men but they do 10 feet 6 inches consistently.
Cummins, the two miler, will be in good condition for the indoor meet. Andy has always had the endurance, this year he has the speed and the spurt. The other day he did the half mile six seconds faster than he did at any time last year.
Gutherie may cause some surprises in the long distance events. He has the form of Jackson of Missouri and he has done some exceptional work.
Priest, Parker, Young, Cooley and Cummins are the only last year track men who will go against Missouri the 13th.
Missouri reports that there will be only five old Tigers in the meet. It will be a battle of new men.
EXHIBIT OPENED
PUBLIC ADMITTED TO PICTURE SHOW THIS MORNING.
Many Famous Artists Represented—Will Be Exhibited Here Through March.
The annual exhibition of the School of Fine Arts was opened to the public this morning and will continue through March.
The paintings which form the collection have been secured from the foremost American artists and represent the best types of modern art. The exhibition is the most valuable ever brought to the University. It is placed on the first floor of the Museum which has been fitted with an excellent lighting system.
Several noted artists, who were represented in the collection last year, reappear on the list with some interesting work.
Miss Cora A. Parker, instructor in the Fine Arts School of the University fifteen years ago, has three studies, When The Boats Go Out, Grenwich Evening and The April Moon.
Bolton Jones has two paintings in the exhibit, Road to the Village and Spring. Both of these were sold in Lincoln and will be returned as soon as the exhibition is over. F. Luis Mora, whose picture, The Spanish Girl, attracted so much attention last year, is showing The Pirate and The Fortune Teller a brilliant science in Madrid.
Irving E. Couse, who makes a specialty of Indian characters has two studies, the Hunter and The Arrow Maker.
Probably the most intense study of the whole collection is Mass in Brittainy by Lucien Simons. Charles Warren Eaton is represented by Moonlight in Holland which was sold in Lincoln for $1000.
F. M. Benedict, of Lawrence, has six. Professor W. A. Griffith is showing seven, of which The Swimming Hole is decidedly realistic. Miss Claire Hageman and Minnehaha Stearns are showing one each.
Surplus from Banquet Gives Them Money to Burn.
ENGINEERS ARE TO SMOKE.
The engineers of the University will give a smoker in the parlors of the city Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening. A surplus of money from the annual banquet will be used for the evening's entertainment. Speeches by professors and members of the school will be given.

SPRINGPRACTICE
FOOTBALL SQUAD TO START WORK MARCH 16.
A Heavy Schedule for Next Year Gets Coach Kennedy Busy.
A new feature in K. U. football methods will be started March 16, when the spring practice of the squad begins. Coach Kennedy intends to try out all new men this spring and have his men build up earlier next fall. A special field will be prepared on the golf links where veterans and novices will don the moleskins far in advance of the fall tryout. The practice will continue as long as the men are willing to work. Next year's schedule will probably include the following: Oklahoma, Washington, Washburn, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri.
The place of the Missouri game is still indefinite. Of the others three will be played at home and two away.
The election of a captain to fill the vacancy caused by Angney's death will occur soon. The candidates are "Pat" Crowell and 'Billy" Rice, "Tub" Reed having withdrawn in favor of Crowell.
ORCHESTRA TO NEBRASKA.
To Give Concert There March 11— Nebraska Here March 18.
The K. U. Orchestra will go to Lincoln, Wednesday, March 11 and give their program that night and return next day. Dean Skilton will accompany them as leader. Owing to the expense only twenty-five of the thirty members can go.
The following Wednesday, March 18, Nebraska's Orchestra with twenty-five men will give a return concert.
This will probably be the only trip the Orchestra will make this year.
BANQUETED BY Y. M. C. A.
Basket Ball Champions Given Banquet at Eldridge.
The Uuiversity Y. M. C. A. entertained the basket ball team with a banquet at the Eldridge House Saturday evening. "Uncle Jimmy" Green acted as toastmaster. Speeches were made by Professor J. N. Van der Vries, Manager Lansdon, Coach Hagerman, Captain McCune, and "Billy" Miller. Plates were laid for eighteen men.
Green Bugs Hinder Music.
Green bugs will probably interfere with the usual spring trip of the Mandolin club. Owing to the fact that one of the best members, who can not be replaced, is too busy trying to save the wheat of Kansas to go on the trip, it will probably be abandoned.
TO DEBATE WITH TIGERS
BRINKERHOFF AND TYLER WIN THE HONOR.
---
Hardest Fought Tryout of the Season—Only Debate Held in Lawrence.
In the hardest fought tryout of the season, F. W. Brinkerhoff of Ottawa and Don M. Tyler of Junction City were chosen Monday night to represent Kansas in the annual Missouri-Kansas debate. They will uphold the affirmative of the question, "Resolved, that the candidates for all elective state, district, county and city offices should be nominated by a direct primary held under state regulation." The debate, which will be held here in April, will be the last of the series and the only one held at Lawrence.
Both men selected for the team are experienced debaters. Brinkerhoff stumped the state during the campaigns of '04 and '06 under the direction of the State Republican committee. He is doing special work in the college. Tyler was one of the members of the team that defeated Missouri in debate four years ago. He is a member of the Alpha Tau fraternity and a sophomore engineer.
The tryout Monday night was of an exceptionally high class and some of the best speeches of the year were given.
O. C. Hull was chosen alternate. The judges were, Professors O'Leary and Blackmar and Attorney Brownell.
TALKED ELIGIBILITY RULES.
Professor McClung Thinks Athletes Should Be Students.
Professor C. E. McClung, chairman of the eligibility committee, spoke to a large audience of students and members of the faculty Monday afternoon on "The Missouri Valley Conference Eligibility Rules." He gave as the purpose of eligibility rules, that they were essential to the preservation of athletics. He said further: "A representative team should represent the best phases of college life and this can only be done by enforcing amateur and scholarship requirements."
