Alaskan Village Is Home
Of Two Summer Students

WL 1 4 939

By Frieda Cowles, c’40

In a land where dog teams are
used instead of automobile, and air-
planes ski over the hard-packed
snow to gather speed before whir-
ring into the air, Mr. and Mrs. Ne-
ville McMillan live in the Eskimo
village of Noatak, Alaska.

Working through the Department
of Indian Affairs, Mr. McMillan op-
erates the commercial radio station
KTKN; Mrs. McMillan teaches the
elementary grades in a government
school for Eskimo children. Both
are enrolled in the University Sum-
mer Session and will return to Alaska
in August.

Noatak stands at the foot of
spruce-timbered mountains, on the
bank of the river from which it takes
its name. In the winter, dog teams
‘and sleds provide a means of travel

| in and out of the village; in the sum- |

mer, boats go up and down the Nao-
tak river, and all the year round
there are planes to bring in passen-

 

gers, mail, and supplies.

The 1939 Summer Session has seen
the development of the most exten-

tory of the sessions. Dr. F. C. Allen,
recreational director, said yesterday
however that the program was
“really just getting under way.” He
plans to keep the things “rolling”
and his plans for next year feature

This summer’s program has in-
cluded picnics, open houses in the
Union building, co-recreational
swimming, games at the newly
lighted Quadrangle, and other sport-
ing events.

The Big Six National Softball
League title for the summer went to
the Wildcats, symbolic of Kansas
State College. The team was cap-
tained by Lawrence Stanton, and af-
ter winning the championship the
Wildcats went on to defeat the
League All-Stars 9-8 in an extra in-
ning game.

Cyclones Come Back

The Cyclones, after a bad start,
came back to finish second and the
Tigers, Cornhuskers, Jayhawkers and
Sooners finished in that order. The
Cyclones were aided in their blazing
finish by the pitching and hitting of
“Lefty” Joe Wilkerson.

After the regular season closed an
all-star team was picked from the
league teams, and were defeated 6.5
in an extra inning battle with the
North Lawrence All-Stars.

A highlight of Hill activities has
been the lighted Quadrangle, east of
Robinson gymnasium. Facilities

were provided for the whole family
and included equipment for shuffle-
board, croquet, volleyball, ping pong,
archery, badminton, and Goal-Hi,
Doctor Allen’s new game.

Picnics Draw Crowds

The first University picnic was held
at the gymnasium and drew a large
number of students and faculty mem-
bers. The second and last was held
in the Quadrangle and in Robinson
gymnasium and was one of the most
successful of the school parties this
summer. Good food and plenty of
entertainment proved to be a hard
combination to beat.

The open houses held in the Union
building had the regular term Mid-
weeks bested for variety of enter-
tainment, and refreshments were a-
vailable for guests as soon as they
began to feel the heat. Dancing, en-
tertainment given by students or by
imported talent, community singing
and other games combined to put
the parties over. Members of Doctor
Allen’s class in Community Recrea-
tion were in charge of most of the
summer’s entertainment.

Driving Range a Feature

The driving range back of the
gymnasium is an added feature which
will be carried over into the regular
school session. Doctor Alen plans to
light the range if the proper arrange-

 

 

Tennis ad golf tournaments have
taken care of these popular sports.
One of the most popular activities
has been swimming, and the co-rec-

Round Softball Games

The rain didn’t start soon enough Monday to keep the Corn- |
huskers, Wildcats and Sooners from ringing up first round Na-
tional Big Six Softball league victories. ‘The Cornhuskers
trounced the Jayhawkers 7-2; the Wildcats took the wind out of \
the Cyclones 12-1; and the Sooners crossed home plate 19 times
to 9 for the Tigers.

Bob Allen turned in a well pitched game to start the Corn-
huskers off on the right track. Last summer Allen pitched for
the championship Jayhawker club. Reed was on the receiving
end for the winners, and Forker® : ——-
and Naylor made up the Jay-
hawker’s battery.

—193¢@

 

Lawrence threw the Cyclones
every thing but hits and runs
and the Wildcats threw in some
support to give him an easy 12-
1 triumph. Lawrence and
Pitts formed the battery for the

winning club; Senter and Ster-
rett for the losers. Numerous er-
rors were costly to the Cyclones.

It took a lot of runs to convince
the Tigers, but the Sooners came up
with 19 of them and 19 runs can do
a lot of convincing. The Sooners
scored six in the first, added six in
the third, and threw in seven more
for good measure before they fin-
ished. The Tigers scored six of their
runs in the last two innings, mostly
on the slugging of Hays, Frost and
O’Lander. Wood, Hays and Mosser
led the winners in hitting. The bat-
teries were: Sooners, Mosser and
Pritchard; Tigers, Hays and Blowey.

Wednesday’s games were called
off because of rain, but were to have
been played yesterday if the fields
dried off enough. If not, they may
be played today, or later in the sea-
son. This round was to throw the
Wildcats against the Tigers; Cy-.
clones against the Cornhuskers; and
the Sooners against the Jayhawkers.

 

Games for Monday are: Wildcats

 

vs. Cornhuskers: Tigers vs. Jay-
hawkers; and Cyclones vs. Sooners.

Sooners Undefeated

By Dave Shirk :

The Sooners won their second game of the season Thursday
by defeating the J ayhawkers, last year’s champions, 7 to 6 The
Winning pitcher was Bert N ash, a southpaw. The team won the
game. Such stars as Paul Masoner, captain, Fred Littooy, and
Russell Mosser, the Sooner’s number one pitcher, contributing
some fine work. With the fine pitching of left-handed Nash and
that of Mosser, the team should be a strong contender for first

place position this summer.

Errors that the Jayhawkers made

 

proved to be costly. However,—

the closeness of the score indi- |
cates they are not a weak team.
Hee HESS

The Tigers went into the winning |
column for the first time by defeat-,
ing the Wildcats in an extra inning.
The game was 3 to 0 in the last half |
of the seventh inning, in favor of the
Wildcats. At the end of the seventh
the Tigers tied the score at three all. |
In the eighth inning the Wildcats
turned on the steam by knocking in
three more runs, to make one of the
most exciting games of the season.

The Cyclones also went into the
winning column by beating the
Cornhuskers 6 to 4. The Cornhusk-
ers won their first game from the
Jayhawkers by a score of 7 to 2. The
winning pitcher was Wilkerson, who,
aside from his fine pitching, scored
two of the six runs.

These games should be very inter-

will try to retain their lead by bat-

Bobby Allen. The Jayhawkers last
year’s champions have not yet ap-
peared in the winning column, and
they will be out to defeat the Wild-

season. Each team will start its best

Tigers, Wildcats
Tied for Lead
In Softhatl Lion

By Dave Shirk

The first round of the Big Six Na-
tional Softball League is coming to a
close. With only one more day of
games to be played we find that the
Wildcats and Tigers are in a dead-
lock for first place position. Every
team in the league has won at least
two games, except the Jayhawkers,
the hard luck team of the league. The
fighting Jayhawkers have lost every
game by one or two runs.

Wildcats: The Wildcats let the
league know they wanted to be
champions by winning two games
this week to put them in a tie for
first place with the Tigers. The Wild-
cats defeated the Cornhuskers Mon-
day 12 to 6 and came back Wed. to
knock off the “unlucky” Jayhawk-
ers 9 to 7.

Tigers: The Tigers came from a
low position to the top, tying for
first place with the Wildcats. The
striped cats wanted the rest of the

 

of one run. The Tigers won their
rgame Monday by defeating the “un-
lucky” Jayhawkers by a count of 5
to 4, and came back Wednesday with
plenty of fire to upset the wagon of
the Cyclones. The pitching of Mike
Andrews, along with his speed in
base-stealing does a lot for his team’s
success. Mike pitched his team to
victory Wednesday night by scor-
ing the winning run in the last half
of the seventh.

Cornhuskers: The Big Six National
Softball League is wondering just
what has happened that has given
the Cornhuskers so much power to
defeat the Sooners by 13 to 4. Here
is what has happened to the Corn-
huskers. After playing Monday’s
game with only eight men and losing
to the Wildcats 6 to 12 they decided to
rebuild their team. Captain Fred
King, along with Bobby Allen and
Rusty Frink, did some real scouting
between Monday’s games and the
game they played Wednesday. When
Wednesday’s game came around the
Cornhuskers found they had a full
team along with substitutes all ready
to play hard ball. Fred King, the

| captain, took his turn on the mound

 

Wednesday and defeated the Sooners
13 to 4.

Sooners: The Sooners hit a hard

 

league to know they also wanted the |!uck streak, losing both games this _
crown. The Tigers won both their|week- They lost their first game to

games this week by a narrow margin es Cyclones 3 to 1, and their game

Jayhawkers: The rebuilt last year’s
champions are having more than
their share of bad breaks. They are
known as the “unlucky” team of the

league. _

  

Wednesday found them on the losing

end of a 13 to 4 score against the
/Cornhuskers.

The Sooners will be
out for revenge next Wednesday,
July 5, to match strides with one of
the leading teams, the Wildcats.
Cyclones: The Cyclone team made
its start for top position by splitting
two games this week, winning their
game Monday from the Sooners, and
their game Wednesday found them
on the short end with the Tigers by
a score of 7 to 8. Joe Wilkerson, the
Cyclones southpaw pitcher, is giving
the league plenty of trouble with his
fast ball and the fact that he has|
plenty of speed in the seventh inning
as well as in the first.
 

Wildcats, TihetS*Lead
Softball Teams at Half

By Dave Shirk

The first round of the Big Six Na-
tional Softball League entry closed
Wednesday afternoon, July 5. At
the halfway mark we find the Wild-
cats and Tigers holding down the top
position with four wins and one loss
for a ranking of .800 per cent. The
Cyclones are not far below the lead-
ers. The Cyclones have won three
games and dropped two for a ranking
of 600 per cent. The rest of the
league follow in this order: Sooners
and Cornhuskers in a tie with two
games won and three games lost. The
Jayhawkers with their undisputed
last place with no wins out of five
games.

‘Wildcats: The Cats were wild
which they proved by: bumping off
the heavy-hitting Sooners by a count
of 11 to 7 to retain their first place
position along with the Tigers. The
Wildcats turned on the heat in the
third inning of the game to take the
lead with five runs which they held
the rest of the game. The battery for

old Pitts.
the rally in the third inning by

knocking.in three men with his clean
Captain Lawrence -

three-base hit.
Stanton is quite confident that his
team is going to be wearing the
crown when the final game is over.
His outfit has plenty of pep and chat-
ter which goes a long ways in win-
ning ball games.

Tigers: The Tigers are still show-
ing the league their power as a con-
tender for the championship by de-
feating the Cornhuskers 19 to 16.
Ebelke and Andrews did the pitch-
ing for the Tigers and Blower did the
work behind home plate. Every man
on the Tiger team made at least one
run. Blower, the catcher, leading
the team with four runs out of five
times at bat.

King and Allen pitching, with Frink
doing all the catching.

Jayhawkers: The unlucky Jay-
howkers are still fighting to appear
in the winning column. The ‘Hawks
finished the first round of the sea-
son without a single win. They lost
their game Wednesday to the Cy-
clones by a score of 10 to 14. Wolgast
and Roberts formed the battery for
the Jayhawkers.

team is a hitter an deach made at
least one run.

Sooners: The Sooners lost their
third straight game of the season
Wednesday by dropping a hard
fought game with the Wildcats by a
score of 7 to 11. The Sooners took
the lead when Loren (tallest Jay-
hawker) Florell knocked a home-
run with two men on, but was un-
able to keep this lead when the Cats
went wild. On the mound for the
Sooners we find Bert Nash, and be-
hind the plate Harley Pritchard.

Cornhuskers: The Cornhusker lost
one of the longest and hardest fought
games of the season to the league’s
co-leaders, the Tigers, bl a score
of 16 to 19. Umpire Dr. Twente, who
is back calling balls and strikes af-

The Big Six National Softball League has taken a new form in the team
standing after the games played this week. The Wildcats under the leader-
ship of Lawrence Stanton have taken the lead. The Tigers are hot on the
tails of the leaders, being only one game short of the top berth. The windy
Cyclones are still in the money with four wins and three losses. The Corn-
huskers have a three won, four lost standing. The Sooners are on the
down-grade, having lost their last five games. The hard luck Jayhawkers
broke into the winning column by defeating the Sooners 17 to 11 Wednesday.
The unlucky Jayhawkers will be causing the rest of the league plenty of
Htrouble before the season is over.

Shirk Says---

By Dave Shirk

An adjunct to the game of baseball,
whether softball or hard ball, is the
umpire. This is a polite name given
to the arbiter who works behind the
plate, but to all baseball players the
umpire is affectionately known as
the “blind boon” first guesser. Ser-
jously, however, these men have
played a big part in the success of
the league. In better than hundred
degree temperature the following
men have been out for each game,
rendering their bit with only one
purpose in view—the full enjoyment
of the participants—Dr. Forrest C.
Allen, Dr. E. R. Elbel, and Dr. J. W.
Twente.

Doctor Twente is one of the best
known and best liked professors in
the School of Education, if not the
whole University. He has been serv-
ing on the Committee of Coopera-
tive Study of Secondary School
Standards of the North Central As-
sociation for two years; also on the
Board of Directors of the Kansas
State Teachers Association. Doctor
Twente holds the Phi Delta Kappa
honor key, which is an honor that
anybody interested in education
would like to possess. The Big Six
National Softball League feels it an
honor to have a man such as Doctor
Twente umpiring the games.
Knows His Sports

Doctor Elbel is supervisor of In-
tramural Sports at the University.
He enjoys having a part in the only
competitive team sport of the Sum-

ju 18 BH —37

mer Session. Anyone who has ever
attended a football game at K. U. or
the Kansas Relays has undoubtedly
= the artistic work of Dr. Elbel. He

aws or sketches the cover page on
all the programs. He is also one of
the best character sketchers at the
University of Kansas. t

When it comes to calling the balls |:
and strikes he cannot be beat. He
knows the rules of all sports from A
to Z. Dr. Elbel has but one purpose
jn view in umpiring the games—full
enjoyment of the participants. The
Big Six National Softball League
holds high respect for Dr. Elbel’s
decisions.

Needs Little Introduction

Doctor Allen, as Director of the
Department of Physical Education
and Head Basketball Coach at the
University of Kansas, needs little in-
troduction. As Director of Summer
Recreation he has planned and or-
ganized the most extensive recrea-
tion program for summer students in
the history of the school. He is a
firm believer that recreation is an
integral part of education.

The Big Six National Softball lea-
gue takes great pride in having a
man like Dr. Allen give his time and |
effort to make the League a suc-'
cess. Doctor Allen is a believer that
a “ball is a ball,” and a “strike is a)
strike,” no matter whether it is in|
a softball game or in the World’s|
Series. He stands pat on his deci-
sions, and might rightfully be called
“Quigley, The Second.”

With one game left to be played in the Big Six National Softball League
we find the Wildcats with a two game lead over the rest of the teams in the
league. The Wildcats are sure of the first place position, having only the
Sooners in their pathway. The Cyclones overtook the Tigers for second

 

place. Et

Wildcats: The battery for the ‘Cats
was Art Lawrence doing the throw-
ing with Pitts behind the plate doing
the catching. The Wildcats with

their two game lead split their games | —

for this week. They won Monday
from the Cornhuskers 18 to 6, an
lost their game Wednesday to the.

Cyclones: The Clclones turned on
the wind to blow over the Sooners
and the Tigers, to take their new po-
sition as runner-up. The aroused
Cyclones won from the Sooners 17 to
16, and from the Tigers 20 to 7. The
battery for the Cyclones is none
other than Joe “Lefty” Wilkerson
with his fast ball, and Senter for his
. target behind the rubber.

Tigers: The Tigers seem to have |
lost their pep after losing a tight
game last week to the Wildcats by a
score of 18 to 15. This week the Ti-
gers have lost both game by large
margins, losing to the Jayhawkers by
a count of 7 to 10, and then losing a},
one-sided affair to the Cyclones 20
to 7. The battery for the striped cats |
was Ebelke pitching and “Blow” |
Blowey doing the catching.

Cornhuskers: The Cornhuskers are
holding on to fourth place with a
weaker team of only eight players.
In Monday’s game the Cornhuskers
lost their game to the Wildcats, even
with Doctor Allen and yours’ truly
playing. but came back Wednesday
with all eight players to beat the

Cornhuskers vs. Tigers.

huskers was King pitching, and

Jayhawkers: The Jayhawkers|

fight. In the last three games the)
‘Hawks have really been fighting,
winning all three games. One of the
chief factors to this sudden change
of the Jayhawkers standing in the
league is due to the fine pitching of
Harold Reade, coach at Shawnee
Mission High School. The Target
for his fast ball is Roberts, who is
rated as one of the best catchers in
the league this summer. The “Jays”
beat the Tigers 10 to 7 and the Wild-
cats 10 to 6 this week.

Sooners: The Sooners are in the
cellar, having lost 7 straight games.
This week they lost to the Cyclones
16 to 17, and to the Cornhuskers 6 to
10. The battery for the Sooners’
game Monday was Nash and Prit-
chard. In the game Wednesday we
find Capt. Masoner, coach at Garnett
High School, on the mound, but the
Sooners couldn’t break their losing
streak.

Spectators whistled and shrieked
as the lead changed hands thruout
the game and finally rested with
the North Lawrence all-stars by a

score of 6 to 5 at the end of the

eighth inning. The winning run was
scored on a home run by Douglas
after the local boys had held the

students scoreless in the first half

of the play-off inning. .
In the first half of the seventh
and supposedly last inning, the

league stars held a 4 to 2 lead with

two outs on the students. With two

The capacity crowd witnessed one of the most exciting games that has
been played in the Woodlawn park this year, and when the game was over
everybody gave both teams a great hand in their appreciation of a real

combat.

The Summer Session all-stars drew first bats and went down in a 1-2-3
order, all being thrown out at first. The North Lawrence team followed
the school boys in the same fashion, all flying out. In the first half of the

second inning Emch went downl
swinging, bringing up Olander, who
got a base on balls. Barker followed

Olander, only to strike out to Har-

wood’s fast pitching.
Wilkerson Scores Two

With two outs Senter got on first
by -a_ walk, advancing Olander to
second. Casida followed Senter. He
also drew a charity base. Joe Wil-
kerson came to bat with bases loaded
to knock a hot one, which was called
an error on the North Lawrence
team, and brought in two runs to
put Allen’s team in the lead by a
count of 2 to nothing. -After scor-
ing two runs Casida tried to reach
home on a wild pitch only to be
tagged out to retire the sides.

In the last of the second we find the
North Lawrence boys going down
in 1-2-3 order, all flying out to the
infield. The third inning we find no
change in score. Allen got on first

advance Allen to second. With one
down and Bobby Allen on second
Hayes and Johnny Hocevar popped
to Higgins on third and Douglass on
first to retire the side.

In the last of the third Maiden of
the North Lawrence league scored

of Allen’s boys. Both teams went

hit. Keeler flied out, bringing up
Pitts, who got on first by an error.
Caldren followed Pitts to get on by
