TRYOUT FOR BAKER
LACK OF INTEREST SHOWN IN YESTERDAY'S TRIAL.
Coach Hamilton Fears That This Year's Track Team Will Not Equal Former Standards.
The try-out for the track team that will oppose Baker University in the gymnasium Monday night, February 13, and the handicap meet with the Lawrence high school took place in the gymnasium yesterday afternoon. The result of the first day of the meet between the high school and the varsity team was 43 to 13 in favor of the varsity.
The number of the men that came out for try-out was exceedingly small. Coach Hamilton said that the lack of interest displayed was very discouraging to him and that the University would have to work hard this year to maintain the high standing that the team acquired last year.
The result of yesterday's events are: 30-yard dash—First, Harry Hamilton; second, C. Woodbury; time, 3:4. 30-yard low hurdles—First, Finch of the high school; second, C. Woodbury; time 4; 30-yard high hurdles—first, C. Woodbury, second,H. Woodbury; time, 4.1. 2-mile run—first, Osborne; second, Murray; time, 10.24; half mile—first, Saunders of the high school; second, Palmer of the high school; time, 2.7; 220-yard dash—first heat, G. Smith first, Rice second; second heat, H. Woodbury first, Davis second; time 24.2.

FELLOWS VS. PROFESSORS.
A Game for a Stake in Chemistry Department.
The professors of the chemistry department this week challenged the industrial fellows of the same department to a game of basketball. The challenge was written in the following terms and presented to the captain of the fellows:
"We, the high monkey-monks of the red ink-slingers, do hereby challenge the Industrious High Imagination Fellows to make a splendid endeavor toward glorious achievement in basket-ball and at the end a pot of stew."
B. A. Earhart, who was graduated from the School of Law in 1909, and Vinnie Vandling, a student in the University from 1906 to 1908, were married December 22. Mr. Earhart recent was appointed postmaster at Oxford.
The fellows accepted the invitation and the game will be played next week.

Tillie's dream at Vic's.
Six new courses in journalism will be offered by the College of Arts of Ohio State University next year. One, entitled "news writing and collection," will teach the duties of the reporter and another, "newspaper practice," deals with editing, proof-reading, and the mechanical make-up of newspapers.
The University of Nebraska's mechanical engineering laboratories, costing $100,000, and in use for a year, were formally dedicated on January 18. The principal address was by William F. M. Goss, dean of the College of Engineering of the University of Illinois, whose subject was: "The College of Engineering as a Factor in General Education."
The value of the endowment fund of the University of Kansas is less than that of other institutions in the state. The agricultural College has a fund of $500,000; the Normal School, $270,000; Washburn, $210,000; Ottawa, $175,000; Baker, $161,00 and the University of Kansas, $151,000. In other words, the University of Kansas has very little permanent income and must depend almost entirely on direct appropriations.
Appropriations aggregating $710,00 were made to ten universities and colleges at the annual meeting of the general educational board recently held in New York. The gifts are conditional upon additional sums being raised by the institutions. Carlton College of Northfield, Minn., Colorado College of Solorado Springs, and Dakota Wesleyan University of Mitchell, S. D., are the schools west of the Mississippi, which are benefited.
The supervision of athletics and undergraduate financial and business affairs in general at Minnesota, is carried on by the Board of Control. Every year its bank account runs up into the tens of thousands. It hires the coaches and managers, and furnishes the equipment for, and has general supervision of, all football, baseball, basket-ball and track teams. It has charge of and determines the price of admission to all the various athletic contests. To it the students must look for a square deal on all matters relating to athletics. The election of the members which occurs yearly, is the most important undergraduate election at Minnesota.

The College basket-ball team met its first defeat at the hands of the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. Tiger team last night by the score of 36 to 23. The game was played under the A. A. U. rules and the Jayhawkers attribute their defeat to this fact.
Kansas City Y. M. Beats Second Five Yesterday.
The department men have not been taught the A. A. U. rules this year, and some of the men had never played under the rules before in their basket-ball experience. As a result many fouls were called on the College men for violation of the rules and these fouls proved exceedingly costly because the man who did the free tossing for the opponents scarcely missed a basket.
