KANSAS BASEBALL SCHEDULE
Board Cuts Number of Games from
% to 10.

Lawrence. Kas, Feb. 2S.-The athletic
board of the University of Kansas has
passed upon the baseball schedule ar
ranged by General Manager George ..
Foster The schedule submitted by
Foster contained % games, but the
board cut the number down to 10, OF
which II win be played on McCook field
and eight elsewhere.
The main trip this year viii be to
Fayetteville. Ark, where the Jayhawk-
ers viii measure willows with the Ar
kansans. This will be the first game
between these two universities. The
Kansans viii also play at Lincoln,
Omaha and Columbia.
Mr. Foster and also the board are op-
posed to long trips partly because OF
the time the players lose from their
studies and partly because such trips
are not usually productive of any hnan-
cial gains. but are more apt 10 prove
money losers.
The University Of Indiana asked for
a date in the latter part of May but
owing to the uncertainty OF the h0OSiers
coming they were given no place on the
schedule. The Kansas City Blues have
also asked for date, but no game could
be officially scheduled with a profess
SiOnai team. SO their games do not ap-
pear. although they win probably be
played early in the season.
Thee first game will be with the IN
dams at Haskell on April 4. The team
win then go to Iindsborg for two games
ond game with the Indians on April IL
From that time on the games viii be
played at a pretty lively rate. The long
est interval between home games VIII
be ten days. Besides these baseball
games there will be three track meets
on McCook field this spring. The first
will be the Kansas intercollegiate track
meet on May , Next the Nebraskans
will be tried on May Is. and on June 1
the JayhaWker and Tiger track teams
viii meet.
There is more than usual interest this
year in track athletics Although it is
yet too early to prophesy with any &C
curacy, the prospects are good for Il
winning track team. A =. Whipple, OF
Kansas City, No, is captain of the team
this year. Sherett captain of last year
team. is also back this year, but aside
from these the team viii be largely q
new one. The greatest loss viii be
Tobey, broad jumper and DOdds and
