Dear Chancellor Malott: At a dimmer meeting on May 27th of the subecommittee on Intramural Sports and Physical Recreation, of the Senate Committee on Athletics and Physical Recreation, the following members were present: Professor We We Davis, Dean F. T. Stockton, Mre Karl Klooz, Miss Ruth Hoover, and Forrest Ce. Allen, chairman. I had previously had a conference with Dean Re Ae Schwegler, shairman of the Ways and Means subecommittee, and discussed matters that were to be taken up at this meetinge The following matters came up for discussion: First, the physical fitness for the mass of students, con= sidering the holocaust in EBuropee Looking toward the consummation of this project, it was considered necessary that our intramural fields be improved for this larger programo It was noted that an appropriation of $550.00 was made by the Central Committee of the Student Activity Ticket for the com-=- pletion of the work of leveling the west half of the intramural football fielde This appropriation was unanimously approved by the Men's Student Couneil and the Women's Self Governing Associa= tion on May 2e This gift of $550.00 by the students, I understand, was contingent upon @ cooperative grading and work project by Mre Ce Ge Bayles toward putting a storm sewer through the field, there- by reclaiming much valuable lend lost by a winding and irregular ditch halfefilled with debris, which when overflowed by storm waters, hampers play facilities for the studentse It was voted by the committee that the Chancellor be respectfully asked for a special maintenance sum of $150.00 for the work of transferring the good sod from the west half of the intramural field to the east intramural field which has been gradede There has been no fund for the removal of this sod prior to the gradinge The east half has been graded and seeded, but no grass grew due to torrential rains which washed much of the seed away end then a very dry, torrid summer which burned out the young grass roots which barely startede ‘The level east half has been lost to the students for oe year on account of no grass surfaces When it is dry it is too dusty to play on, and when it is wet it is too muddyo | ee ee eee ee es The west half is ungraded and very dangerous for playe Its rough, sharply sloping surface contributes definitely to serious in= juries in touch football and even softballe any sprains have been suffered by the students on account of its unfitness for play usee If this good sod could be moved over from the west to the east half, arrengements could be made with the fire department or with our University buildings and grounds department to run a hose to the newly sodded surface and thereby keep it alive during the transition period of growthe Professor Davis discussed the biemial report, and the com= mittee felt that a winter skating rink project should be submitted, the sketing rink to be on this level surface = the east half of the intramural field «= with lights running down the south side of the hill to be controlled by a switch at the power plente Also, a ski«~ ing and coasting project on the north slope of Mount Oread was dise cussed, with lights placed at appropriate distances to afford the use of that area at night when the hills are covered with snow. A golf driving range south of the gymnasium, geology building and auditorium is also a desirable feature, as would be the development of an archery range and an improvement of the golf courses These facilities would provide mass recreation and physical betterment for both sexes of the students at the University of Kansase Secondly, it was unanimously agreed by the committee that we should start on mit construction of concrete or sprayed asphalt tennis courts, as well as concrete handball courts. With the exception of the four courts which are used by the women south of the gymnasium, all of the courts on the campus have been constructed by the Athletic Associations The handball courts were also constructed by the Athletic Association, but after ten years of use four of these handball courts have decayed. The golf course likewise was built by the Athletic . Associations | | No money outside of Robinson Gymnasium, which was built in 1906, has been spent by the state for play facilities for the stud» ents of the University of Kansas. The state maintains and marks the tennis courts and maintains the grounds for golf and intramurais, but we are way behind our cousins at Manhattan in all of these respects. _ A few years ago we asked Professor Fe Ae Russell to submit estimates for the cost of tennis and handball courts. The enclosed figures are hise ae It was suggested by the committee that the head of the Depart= ment of Physical Education be made responsible for the recreation of the students at the Univetsity of Kansase If that is quite agreeable to you I would be glad to assume the responsibilityo As it is now, there is no one definitely responsible for these extra-curricular recreationsl activitiese , A mammoth student picnic and outdoor mixer at the opening of school next fall has been suggested. We might call it a “studente faculty day”, and ask some of our leading societies to sponsor ite It occurred to me thet we might have this mixer on the quadrangle and ask the different organized houses to pass up their evening meal at their houses and buy a supper ticket on the campuse Our idea was to have Miss Zipple supply the food, and the festivities would be under the control of the proper committeee Our notion was that we could leave the lights up that have been erected for the Summer Session activities, and such games as shuffleboard, ping-pong, badminton, volleyball, loop tennis, and so forth, could be played. The band platforn could be in place and could be used by the speakers and entertainerse With some such program in the fall it would serve as an excellent opportunity for student acquaintance, which is alweys desirable at the opening of schoole Informal games would break down the barrierse A less elaborate sort of thing would be @ desirable activity in early Maye If the quadrangle should prove too small at any time it would be possible to use the stadium and the play fields adjacent thereto, but the notion was that the quade rangle would be much better located and in case of inclement weather the gymmasium could be utilized.

Arrange Program TO BE INTERNATIONAL ' Springfield, Mass., Apr. 1.—An international celebration to com- memorate the fiftieth anniversary of the invention of basketball will be held during the 1941-42 season with the city of Springfield, where the game was invented, as the focal point of the celebration. A group of prominent Springfield citizens headed by Mayor Roger L. Putnam will serve as a Naismith memorial ‘committee to plan the events of a world celebration. __In December, 1891, Dr. James A. Naismith tacked the first peach baskets to the gymnasium railing and posted the first rules of bas- ketball in the gymnasium of the International Young: Men’s Chris- tian Association Training school, now Springfield college. The dates | of basketball’s golden jubilee year | have .been set accordingly by the committee as December, 1941, to December, 1942. To Erect “Temple” Plans already underway will provide recognition of basketball during the anniversary year in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the South American countries, where the game has become the most popular of all sports. The Naismith memorial committee will conduct a campaign to erect a memorial to the game’s inventor to be known as a “Temple of: Basket- ball.” The building will house a basketball “Hall of Fame” that will be a depository for past, pres- ent and future basketball docu- ments and records of the game. Another feature of the “Hall of. Fame” will be the enshrining of names of annual official All- American basketball teams, select- ed by the sports writers of the country. The first gift for the memorial to Dr. Naismith has been received by the committee from Dr. Naismith’s Springfield college class of 1892 which has pledged the first thou- sand dollars for the memorial to their celebrated classmate. The Naismith memorial commit- tee will announce soon the list of nationally known figures who will make up the nation-wide committee | to conduct the year’s celebration of events in every place where the game of basketball is played. FROSH ARE GOOD Yearlings Play Prominent Role in Spring Football Practice at K. U. Freshmen gridders are playing a prominent role in spring football practice at the University of Kan- sas as the Jayhawks go into their fifth week of workouts. Three yearling backfield stand- outs have been working in the same combination in most of the spring sessions. This trio consists of Ray _Niblo, of Dallas, Tex., Ray Evans ‘of Kansas City, Kan., and Don Et- |tinger of Independence, Mo. Evans iis a former Wyandotte high school lstar, while Ettinger played for William Chrisman high. Teaming with them recently has! |been Marvin Vandaveer of Welling- ton, first string quarterback a good part of the time last fall. Vanda- veer is bigger this spring, having ; gone over the 185-pound mark, and ; has been playing fine ball. The freshman backfield aces, Ni- blo, Evans and Ettinger, all are out- standing ball carriers. Evans is the | shortest of the three at six feet one ‘inch and the lighest at 180 pounds. _ Three other yearling backs who jhave shown ‘considerable promise are Ralph Childs, fullback from Kansas City, Kan.; Ed Vandaveer, |a small, elusive back from Welling- | ton, and Frank Vratil, blocker from | | Larned. | Bolstering the line at the vital | |tackle spots are a pair of 215-pound- | ers for;whom the coaches have high | ‘hopes, Warren Hodges of Lawrence | and Jack Tenenbaum of Dayton, O. | At guard, where two crack varsity | men were lost to the army, Coach Gwinn Henry has good looking re- placements from the freshman team in Gene Long of Pleasanton; Joe Crawford of Kansas City, Kan., and Jack Brownell from Wichita. Right in the middle of the fight for the center berth left by Don Pierce are a pair of new men, Bob Githens of Fredonia and Dale Low- ‘ery of Dodge City. Githens was an all-state junior college selection at pendence JuCo.. | Freshman ends looking good in- | lelude Al Hecht of Coldwater, who jwas shifted from the backfield this ‘spring; Paul Turner of Kansas City, Kan., a member of the Jayhaxwks’ great freshman basketball team; George Dick of McLouth and Dave Doleshal of Kansas City, Kan.
