"K" FOR TENNIS
PATTERN HAS BEEN DECIDED UPON.
Eaton, Pierson, Weaverling and Watson, Last Year's Team, Get Letters
Since last spring the athletic management of the University has been working on a design for a "K" to be presented to certain of the tennis players. The pattern for the letter is now almost ready and the distribution to those who have earned their honors in this branch of athletics will take place soon. A rough draft of a pattern for a novel "K" was given to Carl Pleasant a short time ago and he has drafted a permanent pattern. The letter is plain but novel each of the four points being rounded out so as to be shaped like a tennis racquet.
The University has adopted a ruling that a player must win at least one event in an inter-state meet in order to claim his "K." Last year four men were fortunate enough to meet this requirement and are entitled to receive the letter. Of those four three are out of school and one still here. The former are Hyden Eaton, J. V. Pierson and Ralph Weaverling and the latter one is Dolph Watson. The "Ks" will be sent to these three and presented to the one as soon as completed.
Thus far this year no player has won his letter as no interstate tournament has been played, but with the long schedule and the excellent material several have a chance to win one before the season closes.
Besides the regular 'Varsity games this spring an inter-class meet will be held beginning the latter part of this week. This tournament will be played down to five men when these five men will meet members of the 'Varsity squad for the finals.
Miss Lois Harger, Bruce Hurd, Leo Sanders and Paul Jolley, of Abilene, are visiting at Professor M. W. Sterling's.
John Parker has pledged to Sig Alph.
TWO RECORDS WERE BROKEN

Two University records were broken in the Kansas-K. S.A. C. track and field meet held on McCook field yesterday afternoon. "Happy" Martindell broke the broad jump record of twenty one feet, eight inches made by Jim Smith in the interclass meet, by jumping twenty-one feet nine inches.
Winter hurled the discus 114 feet, 9 inches, breaking the record for. that event made by Drake in 1907 with a throw of 114 feet,3 inches.
One of the best races of the meet was the half mile in which Badger in a wonderful finish threw himself over the line, a winner by a few inches.
Christian, the speedy K. S. A.
C. man, was the highest individual point winner with 13 points.
Smith of K. U. was second with 11 points. The final score was:
K. U. $ 8 1 \frac{1}{2} $; K. S. A. C. $ 3 5 \frac{1}{2}. $

TWO GAMES
PLAY WASHINGTON TOMORROW AND THURSDAY.
Several Changes to be Made in Jayhawker Line-up—Two New Men out for Practice.
Tomorrow and Thursday afternoons the Jayhawker base ball team will play the Washington University team on the McCook diamond. Coach Cayou's pupils have been playing a gilt edge game this year and will do their best to even up for the trouncing the Kansans gave them in football and basketball last fall and winter.
On account of the number of bonehead plays pulled off in the last three games Coach Ebright has decided to make several changes in the 'Varsity line-up. The changes are not definitely decided upon yet, but in last night's practice the left side of the team was interchanged and replaced. Fisher and Van Seoyce, two new men were out working for a place.
In the practice game with the freshmen last night the men showed good hitting ability and handled the ball like old timers at the game. The trouble with the team is that one bad play occasions a dozen more and that, when once the men get up in the air they just can't get down to solid footing again.
Should Kansas win the championship game from Washington she will have more than an even chance for the conference championship having already won the home games from both Missouri and Nebraska.
Saturday the Jayhawkers play St. Mary's on the latter's diamond.
