SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
Look Back on Successful Athletic Activity As Summer Session Ends
Extensive Recreational Program Was Prepared by Department Of Physical Education
Double Round Robin Softball Tournament Takes Most of the Spot Light; Tennis Tourney Gets Much Interest; Greater Plans for Next Year
The Summer Session which draws to a close tomorrow has been the most athletically inclined summer term the University of Kansas has ever known. At the start of the session, Dr. Forrest C. Allen said, "This summer it is our aim that every student on the Hill will have something to do in the way of sports." He, with the aid of his staff, accomplished that goal.
Sports activity was wide. It ranged from a hotly contested baseball league to shuffle board games in front of Fowler Shops. Competitors range in age from 18 to 65 and women were just as much in the whirl as were men.
Focal point of the greatest interest was the Big Six National Softball League. The league, composed of six teams and 65 players, lasted throughout the entire session. The tournament played was of the double round robin variety.
John Buller's Wildcats set the pace for the first half of the season when they won five straight games and suffered no losses. Their initial win was from a squad of young, erratic students who called themselves the Jayhawkers.
After losing their first game, the Jayhawkers wowed that they would not suffer defeat again. They began an irresistible title drive which kept them on the heels of the Wildcats. They were waiting for their second chance to face the Bullermen.
On the opening day of the second half of the tourney, the Hawks were matched against the only team that had defeated them—the Wildcats. Determined to win, they backed up the superb hurling of Lyman Corlis to emerge victors 16-3. The Jay-hawkers, under the able guidance of young Bob Allen never let down. They continued to steam roll toward the title, which they finally cinched after taking the nod in 10 straight contests.
When the regular season was over, John Buller, manager of the second place Wildcats picked an all-star team from the rest of the league and attempted to stop the youngsters. The Jayhawkers won the exciting affair by a score of 8-7.
The annual Summer Session tennis tourney went to Browning in a walk away. Browning took the affair by defeating White, Oetting, Maser and Burton. The big kid didn't lose a single set and dropped but six games during his four matches. In the finals he completely annihilated Burton 6-1, 6-0. The semi-finals were Browning, Wells, Maser and Burton.
Though there was no regular golf tournament, the University course was in almost constant use. The fairways were kept in excellent condition and the greens were regularly rolled. Glenn Oatman, Kansas varsity golf coach, was in charge of the
links. (The Kansan is still unable to find out the name of the man who made the hole-in-one a couple of weeks back).
Despite the fact that this year's program was a definite success, Dr. Allen is still not satisfied. He talks of improvements next year which will include additions such as Lawn Bowling and and Peg Golf. If possible he would like to divide the student residential districts into four groups for competition in all sports.

very favorable. If this building is erected, it will be just above the women's hockey field south of Robinson Gymnasium. The building is sorely needed to relieve the congestion in the Physical Education school needs a new field house, too! school's headquarters at Robinson. While we're on the subject this able of holding the crowds at K.U. The auditorium is no longer cap-basketball games, and we have no indoor track.
The last three coaches at Bethany College at Lindsborg have been ex-Kansas football players and now it looks like there will be a fourth Jayhawker at the helm of the Swedes' football destinies Don't tell anyone that we told you, but Ole Nesmith, a very prominent Sessionite is almost a cinch for the job. Good luck, Ole. It's pretty tough to have to follow in the footsteps of Benny Owens, Ad Lindsey and Elmer Schaake!
Speaking of football players, Clarence "Bull" Douglass, University of Kansas's great fullback who is going East to play with the All-Collegiate team the latter part of this month, became a proud father Sunday night. His wife presented him with a boy. Twenty years from now there will probably be another Douglass smashing Big Six lines . . . we hope!
Carlton College, at North Field, Minnesota, will probably be one of Kansas' cage foes next year. Dr. Allen says that although arrangements are not complete, he expects the game to be played on December third. By the way, there are several Carlton students and teachers attending the Summer Session here this year.
K. U. is going to have a Women's gymnasium in a few years, I betcha! At the present time things look
Brown's Grove, long a popular steak fry spot, will receive an overhauling in the near future. The School of Physical Education is going to clean the place up and add several necessities. Next year they plan to furnish games and supervision for department picnics.

jects of primary interest to school teachers. Methods in progressive education have been stressed.
The Wednesday evening junkets, which were in charge of Miss Dunkel, to interesting spots on the campus proved to be entertaining as well as informative. Summer sessionites were given the opportunity of seeing the geology fluorescent display, examples of color photography, displays in Spooner-Thayer museum, a series of six dioramas depicting the life and culture of early Kansas Indians, and the moon through a telescope.
The Cincinnati Trio, a series of faculty recitals, a vesper program by the summer session A Cappella Choir, and the campus sing have provided a wealth of enjoyment to music lovers.
The campus playground in Fowler grove with its equipment for croquet, badminton, archery, deck tennis, and volleyball has been popular with summer session students and faculty alike.
Golf fans have used the University golf course while those liking to swim have revealed in the use of the swimming pool.
The response gained from the Broadway invasion of Mount Oread proved that plays, amateur or otherwise, appeal to summer sessionites.
So long folks come back again.
