IN ATHLETICS HANDICAP MEET TENNIS
UNIVERSITY TO ENTER FIFTEEN MEN.
Four Freshmen to Run Unattached—Manager and Coach to Accompany Men.
Fifteen athletes of the University will compete in the handicap meet given by the K. C. A. C. in Convention Hall, Friday night.
Manager Lansdon and Coach Hagerman will accompany the team. The meet will be made up mostly of students of Missouri Valley Universities.
Probably the most exciting event will be the special four mile relay, between Kansas and Missouri. Cooley, Clark, Badger, and Fairchilds will compose the Jayhawker team. That of Missouri will be Steele, Cleland, Johnson, and Shuck.
Newbold in the low hurdles Haddock in the 50 yard dash, Stephenson in the shot put, Leslie and Thompson in the two mile, and Johnson and Wenger in the pole vault complete the list which will represent the red and blue;
Four freshmen will run unattached. Their names and the events are: Ammonds, shot put; French, high jump; Roberts, fifty yards; and Watson, two mile.
Owing to a misunderstanding the records and entries were not sent in until last night. The handicaps have not yet been announced.
TO GIVE TIGERS CLOSE RUB.
Now Cinder Track Will Be Great Help to Kansans.
The outdoor track at McCook field will be finished by the end of next week. Then Coach Hagerman will work the track team outside in preparation for the outdoor meets. This year the track, a cinder one, will be equal to any in the Missouri Valley and much better time in events will result.
Coach Hagerman and Captain Newbold believe that with this advantage and the fact that Missouri has lost her star weight men Kansas has a good chance to give the Tigers a mighty close rub in the coming outdoor meet.
PLAY HASKELL TOMORROW.
Another Practice Game Saturday. Freshmen Next Week.
Tomorrow afternoon on McCook field the 'Varsity baseball team will play its first practice game with the Haskell Indians. Saturday a second game will be played at Haskell. At these practice games a fair estimate of the playing ability of the Jayhawkers may be obtained.
The dispute over possession of third base has practically been settled by Coach Ebright's decision in favor of Blacker. This completes the selection of the team.

First Game Twenty-ninth—Dozen More Next Month.
On the morning of April twenty ninth the University tennis team will meet St. Marys college at St. Marys. This will be the first game of the season, and is the first game that has been so far definitely scheduled.
The manager of the team however has prepared a proposed schedule for a trip in southern Kansas and Oklahoma to last from May fifth until May eighth. If the schedule becomes a permanent one the team will play at Oklahoma City May fifth, Norman, Oklahoma the sixth, Winfield on the seventh, Wichita the afternoon of the seventh and the morning of the eighth, and Emporia the afternoon of the eighth.
Later in the season games will be scheduled with Missouri at Columbia, William Jewell at Liberty and Nebraska, Baker, K. S. A. C., and Washburn on McCook field.

DAILY FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
Coach Kennedy Has Many Old Stars and New Men.
Spring football practice which began last Monday will continue at least two weeks. Thirty candidates have reported and are working out every afternoon. With the exception of Captain Pleasant, Bond, and Randall, practically all of them are either freshmen or men without 'Varsity experience.
Several promising first year men who were not in suits last fall have reported to Coach Kennedy. Abernathy, a Kansas City boy, is fast and heavy and will make a strong man for a backfield position. Magill, an old Fairmount star will be a likely candidate for end, while Maxwell and Ghormley should make good linemen. Of the freshman team Heil, quarterback; Macer and Amos Smith, halfbacks; Lovett, fullback; Smith and Davidson, tackles; and Powell and Brownlee, ends will be prominent applicants for positions on the 'Varsity.
In addition to the new material Coach Kennedy will have Pleasant, Johnson, Bond, Caldwell, Stevenson, Dahlene, Carlson, Speer, and V. Wood, of the '08 squad.
The greatest task will be the filling of the line positions left vacant by Crowell, Reed, and Rice, but from present prospects Coach Kennedy expects to turn out a team next fall which will do the usual credit to the University.
