Softball Games Draw More Than Seventy Players
★ League Teams Named After Big Six Members With Wildcats in Lead; All-Star Game Thursday

More than 70 Summer Session students have been playing intramural softball this summer. From these 70 men came the conference known as the Big Six National Softball League, each team named for a member of the Big Six. Last summer the Jayhawkers won the conference by winning 8 games and losing 1. So far this year we find the Wildcats setting the pace for championship honors. During the first few games there was a little drafting of players to equalize the squads.

Shirk Says---mer Session. Anyone who has ever attended a football game at K. U. or the Kansas Relays has undoubtedly seen the artistic work of Dr. Elbel. He draws or sketches the cover page on all the programs. He is also one of the best character sketchers at the University of Kansas.
Intramural Softball 'Umps Give Scholarly Decisions
Bv Dave Shirk
An adjunct to the game of baseball, whether softball or hard ball, is the umpire. This is a polite name given to the arbiter who works behind the plate, but to all baseball players the umpire is affectionately known as the "blind boon" first guesser. Seriously, however, these men have played a big part in the success of the league. In better than hundred degree temperature the following men have been out for each game, rendering their bit with only one purpose in view—the full enjoyment of the participants—Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Dr. E. R. Elbel, and Dr. J. W. Twente.
Doctor Twente is one of the best known and best liked professors in the School of Education, if not the whole University. He has been serving on the Committee of Cooperative Study of Secondary School Standards of the North Central Association for two years; also on the Board of Directors of the Kansas State Teachers Association. Doctor Twente holds the Phi Delta Kappa honor key, which is an honor that anybody interested in education would like to possess. The Big Six National Softball League feels it an honor to have a man such as Doctor Twente umpiring the games. Knows His Sports
Doctor Elbel is supervisor of Intramural Sports at the University. He enjoys having a part in the only competitive team sport of the Summer Session. Anyone who has ever attended a football game at K. U. or the Kansas Relays has undoubtedly seen the artistic work of Dr. Elbel. He draws or sketches the cover page on all the programs. He is also one of the best character sketchers at the University of Kansas.
When it comes to calling the balls and strikes he cannot be beat. He knows the rules of all sports from A to Z. Dr. Elbel has but one purpose in view in umpiring the games-full enjoyment of the participants. The Big Six National Softball League holds high respect for Dr. Elbel's decisions.
Doctor Allen, as Director of the Department of Physical Education and Head Basketball Coach at the University of Kansas, needs little introduction. As Director of Summer Recreation he has planned and organized the most extensive recreation program for summer students in the history of the school. He is a firm believer that recreation is an integral part of education.
SPLASH PARTY
Needs Little Introduction
integral part of education. The Big Six Softball league takes great pride in having a man like Dr. Allen give his time and effort to make the League a success. Doctor Allen is a believer that a "ball is a ball," and a "strike is a strike," no matter whether it is in a softball game or in the World's Series. He stands pat on his decisions, and might rightfully be called "Quigley, The Second."

More Jitterbugs Hurt Than Boxers in Ring
Hartford, Conn. (UP) — (Special)
—Swinging it on the dance floor counts out more persons every year than swinging it in the boxing ring, according to actuaries of an insurance company.
ALL-STAR GAME THURSDAY
Last year the company claims on 34,528 accidents of all types. For every boxer who was injured, six "jitterbugs" collected benefits for dislocations, sprains, broken legs and a variety of other hurts.
A picked team of Summer Session students in the Big Six National Softball League will meet the all-star group of the North Lawrence league Thursday evening, July 20, at 8:30 on the Woodlawn diamond.
