Kansas has caused quite a surprise in conference track athletics this year. The victories over Missouri and Nebraska make it seem certain that the Jayhawkers will stand high in the Des Moines meet. Captain Newbold's aggregation of track athletes are stronger than Missouri, Nebraska, Washington, and Iowa and it looks as though Ames is the only school that Kansas has to fear in the big meet.
It is unfortunate that the contemplated Y. M. C. A. banquet could not be made a go but the result was not due to any prevalent lack of interest among the students. The banquet came at a bad time of the year when there is already a surfeit of entertainment and when all the students are making a frantic endeavor to come in on the home stretch with a grand burst of speed.
Any one who does not believe that students study for at least a few days in the year should casually drop into the library some time this week. Every chair in the whole building is occupied these days by those who are making a last effort to pull over the final shoals of destruction, and make a standing in their studies by a strong pull in the last part of the long course. ___
And now Missouri comes forward with a claim to the base ball championship of the Conference. We can not help but wonder what they would claim if their standing of championship games won was as high as either Kansas's or Nebraska's.
School is now nearly out and still nothing has been definitely
decided about a track coach. Is it possible that the powers that be will let the matter slide until it is too late to obtain the services of a man who can do the position justice?
