Feur weeks of spring feotball practice were held in unusually goed spring
weather, only one day being lest because of rain. About 35 men reported
regularly, but some ef these men have already been inducted inte the Army or —
Navy since the clese of practice. Several letter men from last fall's squad
reperted, including Gordon Reynolds, end, Charles Meffett, all-Big Six halfback,
Dud Day and Don Steckdale, guards, Tex Langford, center, Derwin Lamkin, tackle.
Several squad members whe did not letter last year were also out. Among the
mest premising ef these beys were Milford Cellins, fullback, Clifferd Hargis,
end, Tom Bailey, tackle, and James Sanders, halfback. LeRey Robison, fullback,
is an eutstanding performer en Ceach Ray Kanehl's track team and will be avail-

able for heavy duty next fall.

Te wind up spring practice, a game with the alumni was held under the
lights at Haskell Stadium. Charles Moffett, who has been in the hospital with
pneumonia for three weeks, was unable te play with the varsity, leaving us
with ne letterman in the backfield, and only one back, Milford Collins, whe
had any experience. The alumni beasted such fermer luminaries as George Dick,
Hub Ulrich (whe was heme en leave frem his PT beat in the Seuth Pacific),
"Chief" Long, Charles Keller, Garland Cantrell, Dan Chase, Bob Miller, Bill
Mewery, and several ethers. In a hard-fought game the alumni beat the varsity
7 to O en a pass completed in the last quarter of the game from Beb Miller to
George Dick. The varsity get some goed experience, the coaches get a line on
their athletes, and the alumni had a let of fun as well as getting a let of
charleyherses and sere musclese

Infermatien has ceme te the Chanceller's office that we are te have a

time, and may contknue on. But this Naval R.O0.7T.C. unit is beund te increase
our athletic efficiency. Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas have been
notified of Naval R.O.T.C. installations at these places. Iewa State has always
had by far the strongest Naval unite It leeks as if enly Kansas State will be
witheut Naval personnel athletically. This past year the thing that made Kansas
State stronger than usual was the fact that veterinarians whe were ASTP students
were returned te civilian status and at the same time deferred fer their cen-
tinued study but witheut Army pay. This made them eligible as civilian students,
