FOOTBALL WORKOUT MORE STRENUOUS
DESPIE WARM WEATHER
GOOD PRACTICE IS HEL.
Game May be Arranged For It Week of School—Team Work Essential.
Despite the hot weather and the ease with which the perspiration flows down the cheeks, and the apparent incongruity of the season, the men who visit McCook field to train for the track team on the long cinder path and the men who go there to take part in the American pastime of baseball have heard this week the dull thud that accompanies the shock of the gridiron warrior's foot against the pig skin as he punts or drop-kicks the oval over the bar. Spring practice was started last Tuesday and several men have been coming out consistently for work since that time. Several of the last year varsity men have checked out suits at the gymnasium and are practicing kicking and passing on the golf links south of McCook field. Many new men have made their appearance in foot ball toggery who give promise of making good material for the varsity machine next fall.
The spring practice is in the charge of Jay Bond, who was the star half back on the ever-victorious team of 1908, and Tommy Johnson, the quarter back of the team for the past three years. Bond said this afternoon that all the men who did not appear for practice last fall and have not yet checked out suits this spring should hasten to do so if they would take advantage of spring workout and the opportunities that it offers the new men in becoming acquainted with the style of the old varsity men and becoming known by the coaches. "It will be the men who can fit in best with team work who will have the best chance of making the squad next year," said Bond and the men all need the practice in passing and kicking that they can obtain before the close of school.
Captain Ammons, Davidson, Kabler, Price, and Ahrens, of the last year's squad have donned the mole-skins and some of the new men who have come out for the practice are: Fox. Weidlein Dickson, Elisele, and Cady Daniels.
Next year in playing the forward pass, the ball must be fielded cleanly accordingly to the change that was made in the rules and accordingly 'the men need much practice in passing and receiving the ball. Next week the coaches expect to begin light scrimage and tackling. It is their desire that all the men come out before this work is started.
At present the coaches are trying to arrange for a short game to be played between the freshman and varsity teams of last fall. In case the arrangements for this contest can be made, the game will be played during the last week of school. Also on the last day of the practice the contest in kicking will be conducted. The contest will be limited to the kick-off, punt, drop-kick and the place kick. The trophy which will be a permanent trophy for the man who wins, will be a silver loving cup and the competition at present points to a close contest.
The young men of the Christian church will give a party next Saturday evening for the girls of the congregation. It will begin at eight o'clock and will be in the church parlors.

POSTAGE BILL IS HIGH.
It Costs a Lot to Send Student Letters Home.
Did you ever think of the neat little sum the students of the university were spending every week of the school year, just to let their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and the other fellow's sister or brother, know that a warm spot remained in the writers' hearts for them?
Just to make our mathematics somewhat easier, we will say that there are 2,300 students enrolled in the University. Not a week passes but that everyone of these students mails a letter to some loved one at home. That much is sure. Then for one week they would spend the sum of forty-six dollars; for one month, $184, and for the school year of nine months the amount would reach above the thousand dollar mark, $1,656.00.
Now the cousin who remained at home has to receive a letter or there is trouble. Let us allow him—or her—two letters a week and the sum spent will be $3,312 bringing the total up to $5,382.00
This is figuring only for a letter to Mother down at the home place and leaving out the monthly letter to dad which would increase the amount $414 a year, or a total of $2,070.00
The brothers and sisters do not come in for so very much, but still they come in for some. Make it one letter a month for the two and you will have $414 to add, making the grand total $5,796.00.
This grand total of $5,796.00 doesn't include letters to the friends that were made in school, nor does it include the numerous daily letters to the cousins. But taking it all in all, $5,796.00 is some money.

ANNUAL DINNER HELD FOR Y. M.C.A.
ADVISORY OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE MEN MEET
Plans Proposed For Next Year Drs. Payne, Wilber and C. Whitehair are Guests
The annual installation dinner of the incoming officers, advisory board, and chairmen of committees of the University Y. M. C. A. was held last evening at the Pi Upsilon house. Drs. F. A. Wilber and W. C. Payne and Charles Whitehair of Topeka who is College secretary of the state Y. M. C. A. with headquarters at Topeka were invited guests.
The new officers are: D. C Martindell, president; Charles Woodbury, vice president; S. S Schooley, secretary and Ralph Yeoman, treasurer. The chairmen of the committees for next year are: Bible study, E. E Stephens; mission study, T. N hill; finance, Ray Soper; publicity, Orlin Weed; social, Charles Younggreen; religious meetings, Ross Beamer, and H. C. Herman, general secretary. Of the advisory committee Prof. E. M. Hopkins, F. H. Billings, and S. J Hunter, were present. After dinner Prof. E. M. Hopkins spoke to the toast," Why a board of advisors?" gave a talk largely historical in which he referred to the fact that a few years ago the Y. M. C. A. was accused of being a purely political machine and that the line between the barb and the frat man was sharply drawn even inside the association." At the present time," he said, "every one anckewedges the immense work for good that the Y. M. C. A. is doing and I am glad to see that all lines between fraternity and non-fraternity men have been obitrated as they should be."
Donald Martindell, the new president spoke on the subject,
"The Presidency—old and new."
In his opinion the principal thing to be emphasized in the work for the next year by the association should be fellowship, between the members and between the members and the student body.
E. E. Stephens chairman of the Bible study committee said in reference to his work for the coming year that more efforts than ever before would be made to make the Bible study classes well attended and beneficial.
"A few knocks," was the subject for Roy Stockwell, who has been connected with the association during the past year and who will be graduated this spring. He spoke of the important place that the Y. M. C. A. held in University affairs and hoped that next year the membership would be increased from four hundred and fifty to one thousand members. He said, "I do not wish to tread on any ones toes but the churches of this city are not getting hold of the University men. That is a task that
H. C. Herman general secretary of the association spoke of the enormity of the work that has been planned for next year. With the new auditorium with its seating capacity of five hundred we should get out more men to the meetings that we will have next year.
can be performed only by a student religious organization and it is the duty of the Y. M. C. A. to look after the religious welfare of every student here."
C. W. Whitechair told of the cooperation that the local organization could expect from the headquarters at Tooneka.
The last speaker W. C. Payne in addressing the men of 1912, called attention to the fact that the man who accomplished something must get into the work heart and soul and mind. The work of the men in the Y. M. C. A. should be to serve as matches to light the flames of a great religious movement that will affect the lives of every man on the bill.
TO GIVE SHAW PLAY.
Collegiate Aluminae Will Raise Scholarship Fund.
The Kansas City Collegiate Alumnia Association will put on the play, "You Never Can Tell" at the Westport High school next Saturday evening. April 22.
The purpose of an annual dramatic performance by a cast chosen from the collegiate alumnae is to create a scholarship fund. One girl is given a college course of three years, or a scholarship amounting to $1,000. Members of the association, who are teachers in the K.C. schools recommend the applicants from their schools and a committee makes the selection. The girl attends the Missouri University or the University of Kansas. An innovation in the play this year is the use of men in the cast. Before this both the men's and the women's parts have been taken by women.
The committee having the play in charge is : Misses Mary Gentry, Mary Rockwell, Helen Stout, Fannie James and Miss Eloise Osborn. Taking parts in the play are :
New Senior Try-Out.
Mr. Frank Dickinson, Mr.
James Goodman, Mr. Ralph
Marsh, Mr. Whitfield Mulord.
Mr. Butler Gentry, Mr. Stanley
Young, Miss Eloise Osborn, Miss
Mary Rockwell, Miss Caroline
Stoner, Miss Arabelle Robinson.
Notwithstanding that the tryout for the Senior play Tuesday evening was a most successful one, another tryout will be held on next Monday evening in Fraser hall at 7:00 o'clock. This newtry-out is being given at the special request of a number of the seniors who were out of town at the time of the last tryout and also on account of the threatening weather.
The Black Helmet held a meeting last night at the Sigma Nu house.
