BUSY week At HIGH SCHOOL
Baseball and Track Men Showing
Benefit of Early Spring
Practice.

Great progress has been made by the
High school baseball squad during the
first four days of the past week. The en-
tire squad worked hard and the probable
result IS that championship team will
bs developed. Coach Callahan was unable
to be on hand. but several members OF
teams of former years handled the work
The battery. which was thought to be
weak, has developed well and both Ham
mond and Daft have Shown speed and
curves. Stevens, who is the only candi-
date for backstop is showing up well. In
the fight for first, between Coates and
Tomlinson, the former seems TO be get
sing slightly the better of the argument
DAILY and Coombs. candidates for second
are playing in about the same form. and
tough struggle IS therefore expected
Captain Billings is playing his usual good
game at third, as is Sheets at short. So
far the nelders are playing good ball but
SO many are out that the faster men can
not yet be chosen.
The track team also was out. but not in
such great force. Those men out so far
have done good work. especially in the
spirits and jumps.

TRACK MEN TO
Be TRIED OUT
Maddox RearrangeS Athletes
and Hopes to Develop Some
Better Material.

The track men at the university are do
ing outdoor work about three weeks car
lier than they have any other season.
For this reason Coach Maddox has de-
cided to spend a week i'm experimenting
with the men. This will begin with the
practice work Monday afternoon This
new kind of work consists of trying men
out for positions that are entirely new
to them. such sending the jumpers to
long distance running. and the sprinters
to hurdling.
Maddox says that this week will be a
great thing for the track team. as he
knows some Of the men are entered for
the wrong events and there are others
who have not tried out for certain events
which he believes they would be success
ful in. The coach also maintains that
the reason for the lack Of all around ath-
letes Is the fact that the men will start
al one thing and stick TO il so close that
they do not try any other department of
athletics.
There are number of changes that will
be made next week Roberts will be
transferred from the 40 to the 100 and 22O-
yard dashes; Judd. long distance man,
will work out on the hurdles: Russell the
crack pole vaulter will devote his time to
jumping BenniOn will also be given a
chance at the jumps. Captain Pitt. who
has starred for number of years at the
half mile, will be transferred to pole
Spitko and Nelson. the crack
hurdlers, viii practice sprinting The
coach will try his luck a. making a long
distance man out Of Adams who holds
the state record for the pole vault Whit
ney, the young Splinter, is also selected
as long distance man. Moore last
years track captain. will be put on the
fOur-forty squad. Maddox saws that
this Is Moore's race and that he has the
proper stride for this distance He has
been after Moore to run in this event
ever since he came to the university, and
will not let him run the sprints this wear
until he is convinced that he Is no good
