Easily Defeated JayIlawker Team at
Indoor Track Meet
Kansas City. No, March 1s--Mis--
souri, won from Kansas in the second
Convention hall last night. The
score in points was 81 Il to y II, ana
the defeat was more decisive ana
more overwhelming than was tnaI OF
score of As to 40 OF the eleven
events contested last night, Kansas
took only four firsts-these being the
50-yard dash, high jump, two-mlie
run, and pole vault-while missouri
took first place in the others.
The surprise of the evening was
Missouri's victory in the hurdle
events, which had practically been
conceded to the Jayhawkers- Kansas
won both the high and low hurdles
last year with the same men entered
in these events this year-MorroW and
Butler-and an easy victory over the
Tigers was looked for in these events
1t was probably an accident That de-
prived Kansas of the victory, as Nor
row, their star performer over the
fences, fell in the first event, the So
yard high hurdles, and not only lost
that event, but was unable to enter
the low hurdles.
Mccoy won for Kansas in the So
yard DASH This was not unexpected,
as Missouri was almost willing to
concede this event if Mccoy would be
entered. The Kansan won in i'm
pressive style, though hard pressed by
Wilson. The time was O:O5 3-5, and
several of the watches showed it a
fraction of a second faster.
The most sensational event of the
evening, from the spectators point of
view, was the twO-rhile r1In1 This
distance, on the Convention hall track,
amounted to "a times around the
arena Bill Bailey's dogged persist
ence and magnificent endurance en-
abled him to win, the other contest
ants wearing themselves down by
early sprinting. Bailey displayed ex-
to the fore from last place in the
hnal-the twenty fourth-lap, there
was a veritable roar of enthusiasm
from all sections of the house, and
the applause was maintained deaf
eningly long after Bailey had finished
clearly one-quarter of a. lap ahead of
Jackson, of Missouri, and had fallen
fainting into the arms of his trainer
