A New Hurling Star Discovered; Bob Allen to Manage Jayhawkers From Bench; Buller Sings the Blues; And Other Sport Notes
Greatest star discovery of the past week was Kenneth Wood, sensational Tiger hurler, who made his debut in the softball league by beating the heavy hitting Wildcat crew 7-3 and then stopped the Cyclones with no trouble at all. He accomplished what was considered impossible in the Cyclone affair—he fanned Dr. Lapp twice. Other managers are tearing their hair, wondering why they let this boy slip by.
Rumor has it that Bob Allen will manage his league leading Jayhawkers from the bench during the rest of the season. It seems as though Bob has taken a job pitching for the local Ban Johnson team which players are not allowed to play softball. This will be a heavy loss to the youngsters as Allen has sparked his team all season.
The opening games of the second half of the pennant race witnessed a complete reversal of results from the first day of competition. This all goes to show what a cockeyed affair this league is. Cellar teams beat league leaders and upsets are the order of the day.
John Buller, Wildcat manager, is singing the blues these days after two disastrous set backs last week. He says, "Wait 'til next year. With some more practice we'll stop those kids!"
T. F. Strickler, heavy hitting Cyclone from Dighton, Kansas, wonders whether he should tell the home folks that he knocked out a homer the other day or not. In the Cyclone's game with the Huskers, Strickler got hold of one of McAlroy's offerings and sent it deep into the outfield gardens. The bases were loaded and the Cyclones needed only one run for the win. When the Cyclone on third crossed the plate the old ball game was all over and Strickler's homer was marked as a single on the score card. He doesn't think there's any justice in the scoring system.
Additional notes on Summer Session sports: Browning went to the finals of the tennis tourney the other day by defeating Maser 6-1, 6-1. Browning has lost only five games in his three matches so far. That's an average of only .83 games per set. ... If anyone is interested in swimming meet to be held next week, see Frosty Hardacre who is organizing it
. . There are plenty of patrons at the University Golf course lately. An unknown immortal made a hole-in-one the other day. . . One of K.U.'s most promising football players is attending the Summer Session. That Dick Amerine, swivel-hipped halfback who brought so much grief to Oklahoma and Missouri last year. Followers of Kansas football fortunes will remember Dick as the lad who snagged a pass and galloped some 25 yards through Oklahoma's secondary defense for the touchdown that beat the Sooners in the last 30 seconds of play.

Dr. Collings Gives Talk Tonight
Noted Educator Sees Teachers on Move to New Education in This Country
Dr. Ellsworth, Collings, dean of the College of Education of the University of Oklahoma, will speak on "The Teacher Moves From the Old to the New in Education," at the education forum to be held tonight at 7 o'clock in the men's lounge in Memorial Union building.
Doctor Collings is one of the outstanding leaders in the progressive education movement in this country. In an experiment from which he obtained data for the writing of his doctor's dissertation, he reorganized the educational system in a rural school in McDonald County, Mo. For three years the students in this school were taught entirely through project work. When to introduce a new subject was based on the need that the student felt for it, not upon his promotion to a certain grade. At the end of the three-year-period it was found by the use of tests that children taught by this method were further advanced than those taught in the usual manner. A book based on this experiment which he later published is "Experiment with a Project Curriculum."
That new types of golf clubs have glass inserts in the face of the clubs.
