KANSAS A FAvORITE.
Missouri Has Small Hope to Win In.
door Track Meet.

Columbia, Mo-, March 26.-Sixteen
Tiger athletes. eleven of them M
men and veterans Of last year, will
invade Kansas City for the eleventh
annual indoor track meet between
Kansas and Missouri universities to-
night. The Missourians have been
training carefully all this month to be
ready for this, the most closely con-
tested meeting probably ever held be-
tween the two schools.
The Tigers will work for victory,
but the rooters here are not optim-
istic. Bear stories issue frequently
from the Rothwell gymnasium and
only add to the dismay which the lack
years has bred. Figures show an adj
vantage for Kansas in several events,
with a good probability for victory.
Kansas is given the edge in the
dash. which will be cared for by
Groves and Lake for Missouri. They
yard high and low hurdles. Thacher
and Groves will represent the Tigers.
Kansas is expected to win both Of
these events, with Missouri second.
johnson and Southland will be the Mis-
souri, entries in the high Jump. but
both first and second are conceded to
the Jayhawkers.
And the last event is the relay,
which it appears now Will decide the
meet. And appearances also have it
that Kansas will win the relay. Tiger
mathemattcians have to admit it and
they fear the result Of the eleventh
annual meet in Convention hall. The
Kansas quartet Of quarter milers
made considerably better time in their
mile run against Oklahoma at the K.
c. A. C. meet in Convention hall this
year than did the Missouri relay team
against Nebraska
But the Missourfans say they were
not pushed hard enough to knock Soc
onds of the timers watch. 1t may be
true in the relay. that contest with
the fast Tayhawkers will put speed
into Tiger legs. But, according to fig
ures, Kansas has the advantage and
an opportunity to add a second victory
in the string OF defeats in the eleventh
annual indoor dual meets with Mis-
souri,. The relay race this year prob
ably will make or break the winner,
as it often has done before.

organizing to fight the new state dog

Tie law imposes the first special head

When birds were singing cheerily.

As II from out the sky above an an
gel chaneed TO fall.

shawl
She tripped along right joyously. a
basket on her arm:
And. oh, her face. and, oh! her grace.
the soul OF saint would charm:
Her brown hair rippled Ger her
brow. but greatest charm OF all
Was her modest blue eyes beaming
meath her auld plaid shawl.
I courteously saluted her-"God save
you, miss" says I:
God save you. kindly sir" said she.
and shyly passed me by;
Off went my heart along with her, a
captive in her thrall.
Imprisoned In the corner OF her auld
plaid shawl.
I've heard Of highway robbers that.
with pistols and with knives.
Make trembling travellers yield them
up their money or their lives,
But think OF me that handed out my
heart and head and all
To a simple little "cailin" IN an auld
plaid shawl,
OH graceful the msntillas that the
signorinas wear.
And tasteful are the bonnets OF Pa
risian ladies' fair.
But never cloak nor hood nor robe.
in palace, bow'r or hall.
Clad half such witching beauty as
that auld plaid shawl.
Oh. some men sigh for riches, and
some men live for fame,
And some on history's pages hope
to win a glorious name:
Ny aims are not ambitious. and my
wishes are but small
You might wrap them all together in
an auld plaid shawl.
I'll seek her all through Garway
and I'll seek her all through
Clare,
I'll search for tale or tidlngs OF my
traveller everywhere,
For peace Of mind I'll never find un-
til my own I call
