Improvements Continue In Union's Jay Bowl
A center of bustling activity itself, the Kansas Union houses one of KU's busiest recreational facilities. Three levels down in the Union is the Jay Bowl—headquarters for the University of Kansas' bowlers.
The Jay Bowl, once a six-lane house in the Union bookstore basement, is a 12-lane facility today in the opposite corner of the Union.
THE PREVIOUS ALLEY, opened in 1953, cost an estimated $80,000. The present alley, first used in 1950, cost an estimated $180,000.
Manager Bascom Fearing has supervised the Jay Bowl's activities since 1953. He is also the varsity bowling coach.
According to Fearing, each automatic pin-spotter cost $8,100. The average supplementary cost per lane exceeded $5,000.
IN COMPARISON TO BOWLING alleys in other student unions, Fearing said that KU's is "just as modern."
Also located within the Jay Bowl is a billiards area. Each of the six tables there cost an estimated $1,000.
Presently there are 15 men's and women's intramural leagues with 85 teams included. Fearing conducts five bowling classes each weekday morning. The 100 men and women in these classes receive one credit hour per semester.
tournament action. KU snared the Big Eight Face-to-Face meet title in 1960. On that crew were Terrell Hays, Shawnee junior, and Paul Hammar, Overland Park junior, present varsity bowlers.
THE OVER-ALL ACTIVITIES of the Jay Bowl are supervised by Student Union Activities. "The SUA organizes leagues and all," Fearing said.
Chairman of the SUA sports committee is Chuck Moffet, Kansas City, Mo. senior. Committee members include Rex Romerise, Salina junior, men's bowling; Jackie Wash, Bartvilleesch, Okla., junior, women's bowling; and John Marsh, Leawood sonomore, billiards.
Each year Coach Fearing schedules home-and-home matches with several other universities. Those included in this competition are Ottawa, Kansas State, Wichita, Nebraska Baker, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma.
Men's high game—Terrell Hays 290.
KU has sported a varsity bowling team ever since 1953. Fearing said during the first year it was quite difficult to get a team started.
KU'S VARSITY TEAM has won the Big Eight Postal League twice in its three years of competition. In

Pittsburg State Maintains Top Spot
KANSAS CITY — (UPI) — The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics yesterday listed Pittsburgh (Kan.) State, Baldwin Wallace (Ohio) and Southeastern Louisiana the top three football teams in the nation, in that order, for the second consecutive week.
The NAIA said Central Oklahoma State, fifth last week, moved up to the Fourth position vacated by Northern Michigan College because
of an Association decision. Northern Michigan inadvertently played an ineligible competitor during this season, the NAIA said, and has been ruled ineligible for the rest of the Association's 1961 football program.

walls. Although this has been a group effort for the most part, Easham's part has possibly been the most outstanding and important.
Although small compared to modern standards for a lineeman playing major college football, this solid senior is always at the right place at the right time and seldom, if ever, is caught out of position or on the ground without being latched onto an opponent's ball carrier or tackler.
Basham, known for his fast strike from the three point stance, delivers one of the most punishing blows of anyone in the area because he uses what weight he has to the best possible advantage. This coupled with good speed, makes Basham a prime candidate for any honors.
NEXT, McCLINTON'S performance thus far must be described as disappointing, but with apparent good reason.
Touted by some of the top experts in the land as one of the top running backs in college play this fall, McClinton has been hamstrung by every defense the Hawks have faced. All the teams point their play to stop McClinton, thinking the remainder of the Kansas attack, with the exception of Hadl, won't be a big factor.
But, with the revival of a potent, well-balanced attack, the attention given this 215-pounder has diminished and he has been able to show some of the ability which has made him an all-conference performer in the past.
CERTAINLY McCLINTON may not have the total yardage of some of the other backs across the country, but his worth as a decoy, pass receiver, defender and mere presence make him among the more valuable players in the nation.
The topic of the ability of Hadil has been thoroughly saturated in column after column but continual mention is necessitated by the outstanding performances which he comes up with every Saturday.
Selected to the Look magazine first team backfield last year, Hadl's name should be among the elite again this year although there has proven to be an over-abundance of top notch quarterbacks directing leading teams everywhere.
