UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
TRYOUTS ARE SLATED FOR THE BAKER MEET
Track Men Will Work Out on Cinder Path Next Week.
CAPTAIN FRENCH IS BUSY.
Sizing up Material And Has Found Premier High Jumper in Freshman Hazen.
The men who expect to take part in the Baker meet February 12th have been hard at work in the gym the past week. While the squad is not as large as Coach Hamilton had hoped would appear for the first practices, the work that the men who have shown up have been doing is reported to be very satisfactory.
Captain French has found in Hazen of last year's freshman team a high jumper who is making him extend himself to the limit to retain his position as premier high jumper of the valley.
Kabler, Jackson, and Babb are making a creditable showing in the sprints, while Black, Gribble, Smith, and Fairchild are working on the quarter. There is still a scarcity of men how will travel the longer distances.
It was rumored for a time that Rock Crusher Ammons would not compete in track athletics this season, due to a sudden ambition to pose as a baseball star. This rumor grew out of the fact that the Kansas football captain is slated for a position as manager of the Arkansas Travelers this summer. Ammons has decided that he will confine his efforts to management from the bench and is now working every afternoon pushing the shot.
In order that the men who intend to take part in the meet may have a
little work out and give the coach a line on their ability in actual competition tryouts will be held in all events next week.
On Monday there will be a try out for the 35 yard dash, the quarter mile, and the two miles. Tuesday the hurdlers and polevaulters will be given a chance. The half will be run off on Wednesday and the mile on Friday. Tryouts for the shot and the high jump will be held Thursday. The coach wishes all men who wish to enter the Baker meet to compete in these trouts.
The results of the tryouts will govern the entries in the Baker meet only, as there are a number of men who have expressed the intention of getting into the going as soon as the first semester is over.
BASEBALL BOYS ARE POLISHING GLASS ARMS
Enthusiasts Already Beginning Indoor Practice in the Gym.
With the foot ball season scaredly over, and the basket ball season just at its height, the base ball bugs are already beginning to wake up. Indoor practice has started with a vim that stresses good results for the coming spring.
The only indoor work that can be done at the present time is battery practice but several of last year's men are out for this, limbering up and getting their arms and fingers into working shape. "glass arms" and "butter fingers" are still more or less prevalent on account of the winter's rest but these weaknesses are gradually being overcome.
Those trying out for backstop position are: Shorty Ogden, Curtis Hostetter, George Hill and Loyd Charlesworth while Chris Curry, William Busick and Carl Delany are limbering up in the pitcher's box.
Friday and Saturday are fruit salad days at Wiedemann's.
K. U. on Short End of 19 to 7 Score in First Half.
KANSAS FIVE WON
IN SECOND PERIOD
FINALS: KANSAS 31-K.C.A.C. 25.
Hamilton's Men Ran Away From Blue Diamonds in Last Half— Smith a Star.
By a score of 31 to 25 the University of Kansas five took another chip out of the surface of the Blue Diamonds in Convention hall at Kansas City last night. The Athletics started the game with a speed that in the first half completely outclassed the Kansas team, but a wonderful rally was made in the second half and K. C. A. C. finished second best.
The Athletic men played brilliant ball from the start and the lead of 19 to 7 at the end of the first half seemed to give them the game. Goldman was easily the star of the club's team, making several long shots from difficult angles. Coach Hamilton's team was apparently confused at the start and missed many easy chances for the basket. They depended too much on dribbling and too little on passing.
In the last half Kansas came back with a spirit that carried the ball into the territory of the Athletic club, passed accurately and rapidly and soon the score stood 21 to 18 in favor of the club.
Goldman by one of his famous overhead throws and a free throw ran the scare up to 24 but the Kansas five quickly followed the lead with a trio of free throws and some clever passing by Smith. The score at this stime stood 25 to 23, and then came the spectacular feature of the game. Stucky got the ball and winged a long pass to Smith who was standing unguarded under the Athletic's goal. Before a Blue Diamond could come within reach Smith had dropped the ball through the net and the score was tied.
With this lead the Jayhawker team jumped up to 27, two free throws ran the score to 29 and the game ended as Smith received a pass and made a pretty hook shot through the basket.
The timidity of the Kanais five at the beginning of the game was attributed by Coach Hamilton to lack of experience. This was the first game played on a foreign court and it took the men some time to get used to their surroundings. The spectacular finish in the second half competely swept the Athletics of their feet and they were entirely unable to cope with their lighter opponents. Greenleees at right guard was easily the star for the Jayhawk team, shown wonderful ability at dribbling. Smith, who was sent in at right guard near the close of the game, showed great form at tossing baskets.
Goldman and Elliot played a good part of the game for the Blue Diamonds, hooking with great regularity the larger percentage of the baskets. But they put too much off their work into the first half and were unable to meet the rally of Coach Hamilton's men when the second whistle blew.

FRESHMAN SQUAD EAT BASEBALL TEAM FROM TO RECOMMEND "K"
ON MANAGER HAMILTON WENTWORTH MAY COME FOR MINOR SPORTS
First Year Babies Happy After Getting Their Milk and Pie.
The members of the freshman football squad were given a "feed" at Lee's College Inn Tuesday night by the athletic department of the University. These men have been clamoring for eats, close of the football season and it was to satisfy their cravings that Manager Hamilton took it upon himself to order up the "best ever."
Only those who represented 1914 in the inter-class games were allowed to partake of the viands, but the men present were unanimous in voting the meal worth all the work done the first part of the year.
After the feast short talks were made by each member of the squad. Resolutions were passed thanking Manager Hamilton for the "feed" and for all the courtesies which he has shown the freshmen during the entire year. The assemblage then adjourned to treat Coach Bond and Captain Martin to the nickel shows and refreshments at Wiedemann's.

Military Academy Wan Three Games with K. U. in March.
About twelve men would make the visit and the spare time would be spent in looking over the University and becoming acquainted with the town and the students. Their expenses down and back would be paid by the athletic authorities here.
It is probable that the University of Kansas will entertain members of the Wentworth Military academy baseball team for three days during the month of March. Captain J. J. Skinner, head of the athletic department at the Lexington, Mo., school has written with the hopes of arranging a three days' workout for his team with the University of Kansas ball tossers. The dates suggested are March 25, 26 and 27.
Pure molasses, pure sugar, 'fresh butter, fresh black walnuts is what you get in the black walnut taffy at Wiedemann's.
"It will no doubt be a good thing for both parties." Manager Hamilton said, "and I am willing to do what I can towards pushing it through. The military boys have always had a good team and though dates would have to be arranged that would not conflict with our present schedule it would be fine practice for our team."

Committee Will Ask Board to Recognize Soccer, Wrestling and Swimming.
One of the suggestions that has been considered by the committee here is to surround a small K with a circle. All the letters would be allikes for sports of the second rank if this plan is adopted.
A plan will be submitted to the next meeting of the athletic board for the granting of a letter of some sort to men who represent the University in minor sports.
The K committee, consisting of Prof. E. W. Murray, Dr. James Naismith and Ellis Davidson has been at work on the proposition for some time and though there will be nothing definite decided until the athletic board takes official action the committee will recommend that the men who make up the soccer team, the wrestling team and the swimming team be given some form of recognition.
Fruit salad, Mayonnaise, dressing and wafers, 10 cents. Wiedeman's.
It is the custom in some of the Eastern schools to award letters varying in size according to the rank that the sport in which it is won is held. In others there is a regulation minor sport letter given with initials showing in what branch of athletics the wearer competed.
Since these minor sports have been recognized by the Missouri Valley Conference as competitive sports there has been a discussion among the valley schools as to what will be a fitting reward for the players who take part in them. Several plans have been suggested but as yet none have been definitely decided upon.
Our hot chocolate, whipped cream and crackers, 5 cents a cup. Wiedemann's.
