Ceach Shenk went en te say, "Prebably Misseuri should be the strengest
ef the three schools with all-civilian teams. They still have Del@statieus,
Cellins and several other beys frem their fine team last year whe will
have profited by a year's experience. Nebraska always has a good feetball
teame Last year they had prebably the peerest team they have ever had.

Yet they were able te defeat Kansas by ene peint in a sea of rain and mud at
Linceln, perpetuating the 28-year eld jumx. Coach Ward Haylett ef Kensas
State, whose team was in the cellar last season, recently announced that
things were leoking up for feetball next year with the return of 140 Army
veterinarians te civilian status. These tegether with a premising array of
last year's high scheel stars, should previde Kansas State with seme much-
needed manpewere

"While the picture may change almest overnight, hingeing upen the pregress
ef the war, varieus decisiens of the Navy, and the general manpewer situation,
K.U. will have te battle hard te place in the upper bracket next fall. Hew-
ever, there is a fighting spirit evident ameng the players whe participated
in the Jayhawker's victery ever Missouri last fall which had net been evident
fer several seasons and which may earry the yeung Jayhawkers te greater heights in.
. 1944. It should be an interesting seasen, and fans are assured ef geod feetball -
entertainment with the results in the laps ef the gods and the hands of the
17-year-olds, the 4F's and the Navy."

The Big Six Outdoer Track champienship of the conference was wen by Iewa
State Cellege at Linceln, Nebraska, en May 20, with 67 peints.e Kansas
shewed surprising strength in taking secend place with 56% pointse Kansas wen
seven first places, and had she pessessed a larger squad, as did Iewa State,
undeubtedly Kansas weuld have been the winner. Other Big Six scheols placed
in the fellewing erder: Oklahoma, 345 peints; Misseuri, 324 points; Nebraska,
24% points; and Kansas State, 9 peints.

Kansas has experienced a very successful indeer and eutdeer track seasen
under the splendid tutelage ef Ray Kanehl. Kanehl graduated frem the
University ef Kansas in 1927, having wen a gold track shee en Ceach Harry
Huff's Missouri Valley Champienship track team. Ceach Kanehl is in his
first year at the University of Kansas, having come te us frem Wichita East
High School where he was chairman ef the Physical Education Department.
Kanehl wen five track champienships while at East High.

The experience of track coaches threugheut the nation this season has
been ene ef changing personnel. Kansas has been no exception. Of 93 men
whe have reported fer track during the season, enly 38 remained te finish the
season. A number of these beys were Navy V-12 trainees whe were transferred
te ether units. Several civilian boys were called inte service by Uncle
Sam. Last year Henry Shenk ceached the Kansas track team te a third place in
the Big Six. In leoking ever the records it appears that Kanehl has made the
best record ef any track coach at Kansas fer the past seven er eight years.

The athletic directors have set the date eof August 12th fer the Big Six
basketball coaches te meet at the Continental Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri,
te discuss, and if pessible, draft a Big Six basketball schedule for next
year. The teams have heretefere played a double reund rebin tournament, but
with transpertatien what it is, seme adjustment may be made in the schedule.
Certainly Kansas will not play the great number ef games in basketball that
she did last year. Travel conditions were then severe, but they will be much
werse this year.
