Hi Lights

By ELIAS HOWARD

What is archery? What part has it |
played in man’s struggle for civiliza-
tion? What can it do for me in this
machine age? For an answer we
challenge you to come out and see
for yourself between 7 and 9 o’clock |
each evening, Monday through Fri-
| day.

For centuries man’s means of pro-
tection and the destines of nations
turned on the flight of the arrow. But
as centuries passed and science was
perfected, the bow gave way to a
more deadly and less sportsmanlike |
means of protection—gun powder. |
Now an attempt is made to renew |
man’s interest and skill in this an-|
cient sport. All K.U. students are en-
couraged to come out and try their |
luck at a lost art, in which their an-

cestors were experts.

 

 

 

 

Outstanding Coach
Replaces DeGroot

Henry Shenk, one of the out-.
standing men in physical education
n Kansas, comes to the University
this fall to replace E. B. DeGroot
as assistant professor in the depart- |
ment of physical education.

DeGroot recently accepted ‘A po- |
sition as director of physical edu-—
cation in the 4th Air Corps at Sierra
‘Madre, Calif.

_ For more than ten years Shenk’s
basketball, football, and track teams
at Junction City have monopolized
their league. He is past president of -
the Kansas Health and Physical
‘Education Association, and also of |
‘the Kansas High School Coaches
Association.

Besides being an outstanding stu-
dent, Shenk earned a varsity foot-
ball letter here. In 1926, in the an-
nual Missouri-Kansas football game, !
he caught a 35-yard pass from Bar- |
rett Hamilton, and ran 45 yards for
the touchdown that upset a power-

ful Tiger eleven, 14 to 7.

| He received his B. S. in physical |
| education from the University, and |
'last summer completed work for his
master’s degree at the University of
Wisconsin.

Shenk will supervise practice
teaching in Oread Training school,
and will also supervise their ath-
letics. In the department of physical
education he will teach history and
‘principles of physical education,
track, remedia! physical examin-
ations. He will also supervise equi-
tation.

The newly-appointed staff mem-
ber will devote his entire time in
the physical education department,
and will undertake no coaching du-
ee
| ties. :

“er will move to Lawrence August
