Baseball was not considered a championship sport by the Big Six this year as
only Iowa State, Kansas and Oklehoma peared ba isevall and none of then played four
conierence eee. It was just en activity affair so far as the schools were con-
cerned, Coach Elmer Schaake took over the coaching reins after Jack Austin re-
signed from the Physical Education Department, Every one of the varsity coaches
are employed in the Departmont of Physical Education as their major work, and are
doing the varsity coaching as a side line. We are just carrying on until this
thing is over and then Kansas will blossom out into a new athletic era’-«we hope.

On the evening of June end the K ore the University letternen's organization,
gave a K Glub.dance, in Hoch Auditorium. They went "big tine" and procured Jan
Savitt's Top Hatters, one of the. big tine 2aanhbe orchestras out of New York. For
ea wer year the. K Club has done exceptional things. George Dick, Cordon Stvucker,
Sparky, McSpadcden, Charles Moffett and Bob Malott have been the inspirational
leaders back of the renaissance of the K Club. These five boys sponsored the
football game at Haskell Stadium between the varsity and the alumni with a view
of raising enouzh money to. subsidize this dance. Over 45C couples attended this
tig party, and instead of losing money, the K Club made money, It was a besutiful
affair, attended by Army anc Navy officers, as well as the enlisted men of all
branches who are now in the University. Chancellor Deane W. Malott crowned the
queen, Miss Shirley Otter, and presented bouquets to the ect attendants, Miss
Nerma Henry and Miss Mergaret Gurley. The queen was pros: ‘1ted a five-year pass to
oll athletic games by the Athletic Association. : =ne Chene:iior, in his presen nus
tion remarks, declared, "This is one thing that I have alwa:s sworn IT would never
do - crown a queer," But he did it gracefully, although in placing the crown he
failed to tilt it at a rakish oer which night have been more becoming to the
queen.
