Coach Fields of Tigers Predicts Jay hawker Victory—Games at Columbia Were Rough
Tenight and tomorrow night will be the last chance to see the 1912 basketball Jayhawkers in action. The games with Washington University are the finals on the home court for the Hamilton squad.
The Kansas team should win both games from Washington this week. Hamilton expects that they will turn the trick and those who have seen both teams work say that the Jayhawks have the shade. After the Missouri-Washington games the early part of the week Coach Fields of the Tigers predicted a Kansas victory.
The Washington team team while it has but one man, Captain Falvey, who was a regular on the team last year is strong in men who have had long basket-ball experience. Brightfield and Berrryhill are old stars who played together for several years in St. Louis before they began attendance at Washington U. Conrad and Gray were the men who defeated Missouri at Columbia Tuesday night. Their playing in the second half enabled their team to overcome a 9 to 3 lead gained by Missouri in the first half and two shots by Conrad in the last minutes of play landed the Pikewaves in first place with a 19 to 16 count.
The accounts of the games at Missouri between the Tigers and the Washington team say that the contests were the nearest to a return to the good old rough and tumble that was ever exhibited in Rothwel gymnasium.
Kansas should have a championship basketball team. Every man or the squad is a basket-ball player of ability. There seems to be a lack of team work, however, that the boys should not show at this time. This may be due to the fact that there are few veteran players on the team to steady it down when the occasional periods of ballooning occur.
The team will have to travel tonight but if they play in form and work hard in the first half they should win by a good margin.

SEE WINDOW DISPLAY
$1 New Spring Shirts and something new in values at $1
With the first display of our new line in spring Shirts, we take occasion to emphasize the very special nature of the values contained in this exhibit and priced at one dollar. The price itself is common, but it is wholly uncommon to sell this kind of shirts at such a price. Their chief superiority over the usual "dollar" shirt is in the workmanship, but they are also noticeably better in the wide range of tasteful patterns and the wearing qualities of the fabrics. Be the judge yourself. See them. Manhattans are also ready. Their entire spring lines, the best in the world, $1.50 to $3.50.

JAYHAWKERS MONDAY
Track Season Will Open in Robinson Gymnasium February 19
MEET A COMPETITIVE TRYOUT
PUPILS CELEBRATE PASSING OF BONDS
New Men Will Try For Places Left Open by Graduation of Old Stars.
The meet is intended for a tryout of the material in both schools, and the respective coaches will be enabled to get a definite line on the performances of the new men in actual competition.
The men who have been working on the indoor track for the past month will have their first chance in actual competition for this year when they meet Coach Scherer's Methodists Monday night in the first track meet of the 1912 season in Robinson gymnasium.
There will be several of the regular University squad who will not compete Monday night as they have not been able to work out regularly for a long enough time to get into shape for the meet. These men are old performers, however, and will not miss the experience to be gained. Their places will be filled by the new men who will be benefited by taking part in competitive meet against another school.
The Kansas team will have seven places to fill that have been left vacant by the graduation of the men who competed for the University in events for the past two or three years. Osborne who was expected to win the valley contests in the two mile this year suddenly left the University in January and at the same time left a big hole in the distance squad of the track man. Bob Roberts, the most dependable spinterter graduated last spring, leaving the team without a tried man in the dashes.
The Baker team this year show stronger on paper than it has at any time since the annual indoor meet was instituted. The Methodists have practically the same team that won the Kansas State championship last spring at Emporia. Only three, men of the victorious Baker队 failed to return this year and Coach Scherer, therefore, feels that he can give the Jayhawkers a good run.
