So Kansas will not need to worry about her oncoming future greats in
an athletic way. Congratulations to both the Englemans and the Harrises.
Long may they live and prosper!

The baseball season closed Saturday afternoon here on the varsity baseball
field when the Oklahoma Sooners defeated Kansas 11 to 2. Tom Saffell struck
out 19 of the Sooners, but he issued 6 walks and had little if any support.

The Jayhawkers made five costly errors behind his pitching. The first
inning was the nemesis of the Jayhawkers as the Sooners pushed across seven
runs on five hits, three walks and three errors. Bob Reese, of the Sooners
pitched a one-hitter, in addition to hitting a home run and two singles

for three runs to help win his own ball game.

Baseball was not considered a championship sport by the Big Six this
year as only Iowa State, Kansas and Oklahoma played baseball and none of
them played four conference games. It was just an activity affair so far
as the schools were concerned. Coach Blmer Schaake took over the coaching
reins after Jack Austin resigned from the Physical Education Department.
Every one of the varsity coaches are employed in the Department of Physical
Education as their major work, and are doing the varsity coaching as a
side line. We are just carrying on until this thing is over and then
Kansas 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 time"
and procured Jen Savitt's Top Hatters, one of the big time dance orchestras
out of New York. For a war year the K Club has done exceptional things.
George Dick, Gordon Stucker, Sparky McSpadden, Charles Moffett and Bob
Malott have been the inspirational leaders back of the renaissance of the
K Club. These five boys sponsored the football game at Haskell Stadium
between the varsity and the alurmi with a view of raising enough money to
subsidize this dance. Over 450 couples attended this big party, and
instead of losing money, the K Club mede money. It was a beautiful
affair, attended by Army and Navy officers, as well as the enlisted men 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, Miss Norma Henry and Miss Margaret Gurley. The queen
was presented a five-year pass to all athletic games by the Athletic
Association. The Chancellor, in his precentation remarks, declared,

"This is one thing that I have always sworn I would never do - crown a
queen." But he did it gracefully, although in plecing 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 their eyes toward the gridiron sport. It looks as if the colleges
are planning to carry on their regular calendar of sports next year.
Kansas has already determined to go forward with football and basketball,
as well as her other major sports. The football staff is complete at the
University of Kansas with Henry Shenk as head coach, and Ulmer Schaake
and Dean Nesmith assistant coaches. An eight-game schedule, with one or
two open dates yet to be filled, has already been arranged by Acting
Athletic Director Karl Klooz. The schedule is as follows:

September 15 Open
September 23 Texas Christian University at Kansas City

September 50 Denver University at Denver
