In all fairness to Elmer Schaske, a fine football and basketball coach,
it should be said that he does not profess to be an expert in baseball. He
merely took this over as an accommodation to the athletic department because
- ef Jack Austin's resignation. Kensas has not been highly successful in baseball
having been defeated by Iowa Stete, Herington Army Air Base at Lawrence» wid
Sedalia Army Air Base at Lawrence. But the boys are getting a lot of fun out
of playing the game, and Sohsake is doing a good job under the olreumstances.

The athlevic department is valigntly carrying on by using the Physical
Education eounhen. In this way both ends can be met financially because there
is mo great expense. involved, and yet the boys have the fim of playing.

So take out your notebooks, you baseball fans of Lewrence, and write down _
the date of Jue 10 for the Oklahoma Sooners on the Kansas baseball field just ie
off of Mississippi Street. Baseball is a splendid xe and we should do our
level best to keep all sports going even though the quality of play and the
expert coaching is not of pre-war ove, Your speaker coaches the Kansas varsity
for a couple of years, but due to other duties was unable to handle varsity
baseball this year. : |
| Mr. Klooz informs me that the athletic directors at Lincoln, Nebraska, |
get the date of August 12th for the Big Six basketball coaches to meet at the |
Continental Hotel in Kensas City, Missouri, to diseuss end if possible draft
a Big Six basketball schedule for next year. The teams have horetafers played
a double round robin tournament, but with transportation what it is, some ad-
justment may be made in the schedule. Certainly Kansas will not play the great
number of games in basketball they did last year. Travel conditions were then
severe, but they will be much worse this year. After D-Day the troop movements
and other necessary travel will come first, and personally I look to see a
great curtailment in civilian travele Therefore, zt chink we should play only
@ minimum nuyber of games - enough to keep the boys interested in thoir activity
