STEWART CALLS TRACK
MEETING FOR FRIDAY
for Season's Training
to Be Discussed
plans
FULL SCHEDULE PLANNED
Season Open. With Kansas City
Athletic Clubs Indoor Meet at
Kansas City
All track men are urged to be out
to a meeting to be held in Dr. Stew
art's office, Friday morning at .11
o'clock. The meeting was first an
nounced for yesterday at the same
hour, but this evidently given too
short notice, for there were but three
men present. It is particularly deslr
able that all men be out to the Friday
meeting, as plans for the season will
be discussed and the men will be
given definite instructions regarding
practice.
Prospects for a good track team
this year are only fair. The team
is badly handicapped from the first by
the loss of several good men from last
year, among them Werner and Owen.
There is a possibility, however, of the
latter returning to school at the be
ginning of next semester. Should he
come back, he will prove a valuable
addition to the team, and can be
counted on to place high in his events.
All men who have ever done any
track work, or who want to break in
now, are urged to get out at once, to
help make up for the dearth of men
from last year's squad. Experience is
not necessary, if the candidate is will
ing to train and work. Freshmen are
especially urged to get out for the
team, for the freshmen track man of
this year is the varsity man of next
year, and the sooner he gets to work,
the more points he can win later for
the team. Freshmen are eligible to
compete in the Kansas City Athletic
club, an annual indoor meet, and all
first-year men who show promise of
being point-winners men will be taken
with the varsity to that meet.
A full schedule is being planned for
this year's track team. The season
will open with the Kansas City Ath
letic club's indoor meet at Kansas
City. During the year there will be
dual meets with other schools, some
of the less important meets held by
neighboring schools, and the big Mis
souri Valley meet at Ames. The team
will wind up the season with the
Western Conference meet at Chicago,
in June, one of the biggest American
track meets of the year.
