Tne baseball season closed Saturdey afternoon here en the varsity baseball
field when the Cklahome Sooncrs defeated Kausas 11 to 2. Tom Saffell struck out
19 of the Sooners, but he issued 6 walks and had iittle if any support. The Jay~
hawkers made five costly errors behind his ritching. The first inning was the
nemesis of the Jayhawkers as the sconers pushed across seven runs on five hits,
three walks and three errérs. Bob Reese, cof the Sooners, pitched a one-hitter,
in addition to hitting o home run and two singled for three runs to help win his
own ball cane. o pote

Baseball was not considered o championship sport by the Big Six this year as
only Towa Stats, Kansas and Oklahoma played baseball and none of ther played four
conference games. It was just an activity affair so far as the schools were con-
cerned. Coach Elmer Schanke took over the coaching reins after Jack Austin re-
signed fron the Physical Education Department. Every one of the varsity coaches
ere employed in tho Department of Physical Education as their najor work, and are
doing the varsity coaching as a side line. We cre just carrying on until this
thing is over and then Kunsas will blossom out into a new athletic era - we hope.

On the evening of June 2nd the K Club, the University lettermen's organization,
gave a K Club dance in Hoch Auditorium. They went "big tine" and procured Jan
Savitt's Top Hatters, one of the big time dance orchestras out of Now York. For
a wer year the i Club has done exceptional things. George Dick, Gordon Stucker,
Sparky McSpadden, Charles Moffatt and Bob Malott have been the inspirational
leaders back of the renaissance of the K Club. Theso five boys sponsorod the
football game at Haskell Stadciun between the varsity and the alumni with a view
of raising enough money to subsidize this- dance. Over +50 couples attended this
big party, and instead of losing money, the K Club made money. It was a beautiful
affair, attended by Army and Navy officers, as well as the enlistod nen of all
branches who are now in the University. Chancellor Deane W. Malott crowned the
queen, Miss Shirley Otter, and presented bouquets to the queen's attendants, iiss
Nerma Henry and lliss Margaret Gurley. The queen was prose ited a five-year pass to
all athletic games by tho athletic Association, ‘The Chancellor, in his presenta-
tion remarks, declared, "This is one thing that I lave ulwa:rs sworn I would never
do - crown a qucen," But ne did it gracefully, although in placing the crown he
failed to tilt it at a rakish angle which might have been more becoming to the
queen.

With the closing baseball game on June 10, the sport fans will now cast thoir
cyes toward the gridiron:sport, It looks as if the cclleges are »lanning to carry
on their regular calencer of sports next year. Kansas has already determined to
go forward with football enc basketball, as well as her other najor sports. The
football staff is complete at the University of Kansas with Henry Shenk as head
coach, and Elmer Schanlze and Dean Neswith assistant coaches. An eight-gene sched=
