KANSAS ANNOUNCES
NEW TRACK COACH
H. J. Huff, Now of Grinnell,
Take New Position With
the Jayhawks
Will
LAWREXCE, Kan., Feb., 11. Dr.
H. J. Huff, whose appointment as
head trainer for all athletic teams,
and head coach of track teams at the
University of Kansas has just been
announced, is not only an athlete of
note himself, but is an expert trainer
of athletics. For the past twelve
years he has been director of athlet
ics at Grinnell colege, Grinnell, la.
With the smallest enrollment of
any Missouri Valley school, Grinnell,
under Huff's training, has develop
ed track stars and track teams with
enviable records, especially in the
sprints and relays.
In the national intercollegiate
track met in Chicago last June, the
Grinnell track men made more points
than any other Missouri Valley team,
and were topped only by two of the
Big Ten.
Morgan Taylor, world champion
distance hurdler and exceptional
broad jumper, was developed by Dr
Huff, as were Hoyt and Paulu. Haas.
in the 440 is also a pupil of Dr. Huff.
Doctor Huff himself was national
champion in 1907 in the 100 and 220,
and was a member of the American
team in the 1908 Olympics at Lon
don.
Doctor Huff was graduated from
Grinnell college in 1909, and aftej
three years in the east, returned to
his alma mater as track coach. Two
years later he became director of ath
letics. The well established Kansas Relays
and the wealth of track material
available at the University of Kan
sas were factors inducing Doctor
Huff to come to Kansas. He will
spend a short time on the campus just
before the Relays, April 17, when the
new football coach, Franklin C. Cap
pon and his assistants are here. Doc
tor Huff will move his family to Law
rence during the summer, and will
assume bis duties September 1.
"Dr. Huff is most highly recom
mended as a man, a leader, and a
successful coach," said Chancellor E.
H. Lindley, in announcing the ap
pointment "The athletic board feels
that the University is most fortunate
in obtaining the services of Doctor
Huff."
Surely, though Oklahoma is the
present leader in the Valley basket
ball race, the Jayhawkers from Kan
sat are only slightly behind. It
seems to be precedent for the Kansas
school to have basketball players.
"Fog" Allen knows basketball from
beginning to end, and there seema to
be no doubt about that.
The other evening Kansas met the
Drake Bulldogs. That isn't half of
it. From the results one would sup
pose that they were unkind enough
to go right on by. Allen put fifteen
men into the line up that evening, or
in other words all of their second and
even third string players.
Drake was unable to stop the rush
as the score would indicate. Now
Drake has a mighty good basketball
combination. In pre-season con
tests they took the great Illini of
the Big Ten into camp with ease, and
then downed Chicago-
Kansas has developed some won
derful athletes in other branches of
the field of sports too, but none so
shining as their tossing quintets.
Winning teams it seems become a ha
bit with a given institution in a given
sport. To Kansas it is basketball,
Nebraska was one time king on the
gridiron, while Oklahoma has been a
leader in baseball until late years.
But young blood has been coming
up in the coaching staff of various
Valley schools. They represent the
greatest athletes from great teams
men who have still the mark of the
game freshly impiersed upon them.
These coaches no longer recognize
traditional power in a foe. They in
still into the minds of their teams the
fact that game is won through the
proper mental attitude as much as
proper physical training. They
dwell on the psychology of the game.
As a result, Missouri sent the great
Huskers home defeated. Kansas Ag
gies last year with a comparatively
poor basketball team gave the Jay
hawker basketball squad a severe re
verse. Nebraska has consistently left
the rationally known Notre Dame
gridiron warriors defeated on the
field when the supposedly greater
teams fell before them.
Last fall, after Missouri had
made clean sweep in football, and
Kansas had lost in almost every fray,
the Jayhawker arose and conquered
the great Tiger at Lawrence in the
final contest between the two teams
Since then the Missouri clan has lost
cross country and basketball to the
Kansas aggregation.
February 18, the annual indoor
dual meet between the two schools
takes place. It has been a classic of
long standing between the two
schools. Missouri has a wonderful
track squad this spring. Kansas if
comparatively weak. But in the face
of the facts, Coach Simpson is leav
ing nothing unturned to stem the pos
sible rise of the Jayhawker cinder
artists to the occasion.
The Tiger coach has passed a de
cree forbidding the Show Me ath
letes to date until after the contest.
This is novel in Itself. But on the
face of it the order would seem un
necessary. There must be strong
determination in the heart of every
Tiger to win his event. Perhaps even
now the strain of nervousness be
gins to creep into their system.
It seems that with the meet an im-1
portant one, the Tiger mentor would
delay as long as possible the serious
thoughts on the race. In a univer
sity, an athlete is old enough to know
what is right and wrong in training
methods. No decree should be nec
essary, because every man has his
heart set on winning. It is the men
tal adjustment of his men as much
as the physical well being that a
coach must look after before the big
contests.

is not being neglected by the scien
tists of the twentieth century. Pro
fessor G. D. Swezy, chairman of the
Department of Astronomy, tells of
the organization of .the observator-
all over the world in trying to
discover new facts about the heavens
and in verifying those already dis
covered.
All new discoveries made by as
tronomers in the United States are
reported to the Harvard observa
tory which is the distributing station
for this country There is a similar
station in Europe which collects all
information concerning the move
ments of the heavenly bodies gath
ered there. The astronomers of the
world ars always on the lookout for
new comets and on discovtrijig one
report it to the distributing station.
This station sends out all the particu
lars concerning the new comet and its
position and strength are verified.
A bulletin published by the Har
vard observatory reports the discov
ery of two new comets on Noveiiibei
17 and December 18. The one was
discovered from the Cape observa
tory located in Africa and the other
was reported by Professor Van Bie-
broeck from the Yerkes observatory.
Both of these comets have been ob
served by astronomers in all parta of
the world and their position and size
have been proved.
A daylight meteor was reported to
have been seen in eastern New Eng
land and this report has been veri
fied by the Harvard observatory
through a questionnaire sent to per- I
sons who observed the phenomena. I
has caused much comment in scien-!
tific circles. !
I
The astronomical observatory at i
the University of Nebraska is notj
very large. It is equipped with a
four inch telescope, micrometers and j
a spectroscope which may be attach-!
ed to it, giving elementary students'
the opportunity of observing the1
more interesting stars and planets.
A larpe collection of lantern slides is
available for lecture work. :
