Wildcats Cinch Crown in Big Six Softball Loop
By Dave Shirk
With one game left to be played in the Big Six National Softball League we find the Wildcats with a two game lead over the rest of the teams in the league. The Wildcats are sure of the first place position, having only the Sooners in their pathway. The Cyclones overtook the Tigers for second place.
Wildcats: The battery for the 'Cats was Art Lawrence doing the throwing with Pitts behind the plate doing the catching. The Wildcats with their two game lead split their games for this week. They won Monday from the Cornhuskers 18 to 6; and lost their game Wednesday to the fighting Jayhawkers by a score of 10 to 9.
The Cyclones have the "unlucky" Jayhawkers to thank for their new position. The Cyclones also defeated the Tigers in the game Wednesday by a score of 20 to 7 to aid in their promotion.
The Jayhawkers have moved from last place to press the Cornhuskers for fourth places, leaving the Sooners in the cellar.
Cyclones: The Cclones turned on the wind to blow over the Sooners and the Tigers, to take their new position as runner-up. The aroused Cyclones wom from the Sooners 17 to 16, and from the Tigers 20 to 7. The battery for the Cyclones is none other than Joe "Lefty" Wilkerson with his fast ball, and Senter for his target behind the rubber.
Tigers: The Tigers seem to have lost their pep after losing a tight game last week to the Wildcats by a score of 18 to 15. This week the Tigers have lost both game by large margins, losing to the Jayhawkers by a count of 7 to 10, and then losing a one-sided affair to the Cyclones 20 to 7. The battery for the striped cats was Ebelke pitching and "Blow" Blowee doing the catching.
Cornhuskers: The Cornhuskers are holding on to fourth place with a weaker team of only eight players. In Monday's game the Cornhuskers lost their game to the Wildcats, even with Doctor Allen and yours' truly playing, but came back Wednesday with all eight players to beat the Sooners 10 to 6, without Allen and Shirk. The battery for the Cornhuskers was King pitching, and Frink catching.
Jayhawkers: The Jayhawkers fight. In the last three games the 'Hawks have really been fighting, winning all three games. One of the chief factors to this sudden change of the Jayhawkers standing in the league is due to the fine pitching of Harold Reade, coach at Shawnee Mission High School. The Target for his fast ball is Roberts, who is rated as one of the best catchers in the league this summer. The "Jays" beat the Tigers 10 to 7 and the Wildcats 10 to 6 this week.
Sooners: The Sooners are in the cellar, having lost 7 straight games. This week they lost to the Cyclones 16 to 17, and to the Cornhuskers 6 to 10. The battery for the Sooners' game Monday was Nash and Pritchard. In the game Wednesday we find Capt. Masoner, coach at Garnett High School, on the mound, but the Sooners couldn't break their losing streak.

With the news that the University of Pennsylvania collegiate plan to begin their 1939 'Rushing' activities early this year we make this observation: Back slapping doesn't stop after boys are pledged. It just moves farther down.D. L.
All-Stars To Play League Champion Wildcats
On Wednesday, July 26, the champions of the Big Six National softball League will play an all-star team composed of members from the other five teams. The captain of the second place team automatically becomes the captain of the all-star aggregation. The game will be played at 4:15 p.m. on the intramural field.
Drivers' licenses may be secured at the office of the county treasurer in Lawrence, regardless of whether the applicant is a resident of this county or not.
Last year the champions, the Jayhawkers, won the all-star game by a score of 8 to 7 in a tightly fought game. This year's game promises to be just as good as last year's. Lawrence Stanton, coach at Page City, who captained the all-star team last year, is the captain of this year's league-leading Wildcats.
Licenses Available Regardless of County
Summer session students who have not yet secured their renewal should do so at once, since the time limit extends only to the last of July. It is not necessary for the applicant to show his present license, and unless the license has been revoked, no special examination is necessary.
The cost of the driver's license is 40 cents, and for the chauffeur's license, $1. No notary fee is required.
A bird in the hand is of no particular use anyway, is it?—EL.
The Summer Session Kansan will be distributed for your convenience every Tuesday and Friday morning. Copy deadlines are Monday afternoon and Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Please cooperate by phoning or sending in your stories as early as possible

All-School Splash Party Is a Success
The "Splash Party" held at the swimming pool in Robinson Gymnasium on Tuesday night, July 18, turned out to be one of the most enjoyable evenings of the summer. In addition to an excellent program planned by Dorothy Gehret and Delmar Branson, members of Doctor Allen's class in Community Recreation, the party afforded an opportunity for summer session students to enjoy co-recreational swimming. Between 75 and 100 persons were crowded in the pool and around the sidelines.
Special diving exhibitions were given by Mary Learnard and Lloyd Koelling, and a men's water polo game was played by the following men: Roy Jindra, Ed Hyatt, Lloyd Koelling, Gene Billups, Carl Friesen, August Anneberg, and Frank Anneberg. Frank Anneberg did some clown stunts off the diving board.
Announcement was made that another "Splash Party" would be held Thursday evening, July 20, and one the following Thursday, July 27. On Tuesday evening, July 25, at 8 o'clock the University pool will be open for married couples, summer session students and faculty members.
