TRACK MEET ON SATURDAY
ANNUAL JAYHAWKER = TIGER ROUND-UP ON McCOOK.
The Kansas Team Has Been Well Trained-Will Give Tigers a Close Race.
The Jayhawker track team is ready for the dual meet to be held on McCook field Saturday afternoon with the Tigers. Several of the best athletes of Kansas have not been able to get the form that has been expected of them but still with an even break of luck the Missourians should be given an awful scare in the annual event this year.
Both Coach Hagerman and Manager Lansdon have done their best in providing everything which the team needs. The coach spends the entire afternoon each day teaching the men individually how to get the most out of the least effort. The manager has supplied the men with plenty of equipment. It will be the fault of the men if Kansas does not win the meet.
For the first time in several years Kansas has more than an even chance to win the sprints. Haddock beat Douglas two years ago and if he gets off good will do it again. Johnson and Newbold are expected to take care of the hurdle races. In the field events Martindell, Smith, Winters, Meyers, and Stephenson should win at least four firsts. The Kansas team is not strong on the long distance races this year. The coach though concedes Missouri fiirst and second only in the two mile run.
The Kansas entries for Saturday's meet are:
100 yd. dash—Haddock, Newbold, Hamilton.
220 yd. dash—Haddock, Martindell, Hamilton.
440 yd. race—Haddock, Martindell, Hamilton, Fairchild.
880 yd. race—Bergen, Badger. Mile run—Cooley, Clark.
Twomile run—Cooley,Thompson, Petit.
High hurdles—Johnson, Martindell.
Low hurdles-Newbold,Smith Hamilton.

PAN-HELLENIC ENTERTAINMENT
READY FOR Y. M. C. A. BENE-FIT VAUDEVILLE.
Many Star and Mysterious Attractions-All for Only 25 Cents.
The Pan-Hellenic vaudeville, Saturday evening in the gymnasium, gives promise of being one of the most entertaining events of the year. The stunts are to be put on by the various Greek letter fraternities of the school and the entire proceeds will go for the benefit of the University Y. M. C. A.
The curtain will be rung up promptly at 8 o'clock and a two hours laugh will be begun. Hamlet will be presented by two fraternities. Their interpretation of this play will be something worth seeing. It has leaked out that there is to be a real corpse and a genuine duel in these productions of Shakespeare's great work. The costumes are said to be extremely elaborate. The "Hand of Fate" with all its mysteries will be staged with special scenery. "The Amateur's Night at the Vaudeville" is one of the strongest numbers on the bill. A foretaste of the K. U. commencement will be given in "The Sweet Girl Graduate."
The vaudeville is not to be a strictly "stag" affair—it is open to every student of the University. A small admission fee of 25 cents will be charged.
Robert N. Lindville, of Custer Oklahoma, and G. E. Thorpe, of Scandia, are wearing Phi Alpha Delta colors.
The father of John A. Hess college '08, died last night at the family home, 900 Rhode Island street. Mr.Hess is at present doing graduate work in the college.The funeral will be held from the home tomorrow morning at ten o'clock.
This evening the class in Nineteenth Century Political History will entertain Professor Becker at a smoker at the Phi Ssi house. Refreshments will also be served.
