WILL CLASH WITH TIGERS
JAYHAWKER TEAM READY FOR SATURDAY'S MEET.
Annual Out-Door Dual Track and Field Games To Be Held on McCook This Year.
Saturday afternoon the Jayhawker track team will strive to wipe out the indoor track defeat by crossing the tape ahead of the Tigers in the outdoor meet on McCook field. No one is open in his prophecies of a victory, yet the track authorities feel that the Kansas team has an excellent chance of nosing out a victory.
Kansas is proving exceptionally strong in the field events. Winters, a new man on the team, broke the McCook discus record, against Manhattan, with a throw of 114 feet 9 inches. Martindell and Smith have both broken the McCook record in the broad jump with distances of 21 feet 8 inches and 21 feet 9 inches respectively. Johnson and Wenger are improving in the pole-vault and should draw at least a second. Either Smith or Reynolds has a good chance for first in the high jump and Stephenson, if he is in true form, should win the shot put.
Coach Hagerman is working with the team every afternoon and hopes to have his men in good shape by Saturday. He hopes that Saturday, an old track "hoodo" will be broken. The coach pins his whole faith on the Jayhawkers to win the sprints, hurdle races, and a goodly share of the field events.
Alpha Taus Beat Phi Psis.
The Alpha Taus and Phi Psis played one game of the interfraternity baseball series on McCook yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. The game included two exciting "balloon ascensions" and terminated with a score of 9 to 7 in favor of the Alpha Taus.
Floyd Fischer of Wamego is visiting his brother Earl Fischer at the Alpha Tau house.

WILL GIVE A BENEFIT
PAN-HELLENIC ENTERTAINMENT FOR Y. M. C. A. FUNDS.
All the Fraternities to Put On Vaudeville Stunts in Gymnasium Saturday Night.
The Greek letter fraternities of the University have about completed arrangements for a Pan-Hellenic vaudeville entertainment for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. to be given at 8 o'clock next Saturday evening in the Robinson gymnasium. Twenty-five cents admission will be charged and the entire proceeds of the evening will be given to the University Y. M. C.A. The program should prove to be as entertaining to the girls as to the boys and a large crowd of students is expected to attend.
One number on the program will be a three act travesty on Hamlet with specialties between acts by the Sigma Chis. Shakespeare will be improved and brought down to date. The Alpha Taus and Sig Alphs will present Minstrel shows, each one better than the other. The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity will appear on the stage with a production entitled "Her Answer." "The Hand of Fate," whatever that may mean, will be the Sigma Nu contribution to the evening's entertainment. The Phi Delt boys are scheduled to present their interpretation of "The Amateur's Night at the Vaudeville." The other two fraternities will also have stunts and, as the advance notices usually say, there will not be a tedious moment during the entire evening.
Chemical Society Meeting.
Next Saturday the monthly meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society will be held at the University. The chief speaker for the meeting will be Mr. Otto Eisenschiml, of Kansas City who will talk on the chemistry of oils and paints.
LOST AGAIN
ST. MARY'S DEFEATED JAY- HAWKERS YESTERDAY.
Ebright's Team is Playing Freshmen Every Evening—May Change Line-up.
Last Saturday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team was defeated again by St. Mary's; this time on the latter's diamond. Every man on the Kansas team played real baseball, except in base running, but still luck favored the Catholics. In the fourth inning with a man on second base, a St. Mary's slugger swatted out a home run. These two scores added to the one made earlier in the game gave the Saints too big a lead for the Jayhawkers to overcome. In the ninth Coach Ebright's pupils managed to secure a couple of tallies which left the final score 3 to 2.
The team is now being coached every afternoon in practice games against the Freshmen. Coach Ebright said yesterday that thus far he intended making no changes in the line-up for the next scheduled game. Every man played in such good form in the last game against St. Mary's that he does not feel justified in putting in any new men. Had it not been for hard luck at the wrong time he says there is not a doubt but that Kansas would have won the St. Mary's game. However,he is giving Van Scoyce a thorough tryout on third and if the new man makes good in the next few practice games he may be given a suit and allowed to alternate that position with Palmer.
Ebright is more than optimistic about the future and believes that the team will show up in better form in the coming games than it has so far this season. Practice games will be played with Haskell this week. It is in these games that the Coach will make his final decision on the new men.
Roy Mills, Clyde Magill, and Ivan Burket are wearing Nu Sigma Nu colors.
