Baseball Greats Lost To Game In Coming Year
BY MAX THOMPSON
The absence of Joe DiMaggio, the pillar of the New York Yankees for some 15 seasons, will be sorely felt by not only his own teammates but by the other players and sports-writers who admired the Yankee Clipper. Joe retired when his physical ailments hampered him from being the peerless performer that he was during his active career. As he said when he announced his retirement, the game was no longer fun for him so he decided to quit even though he probably could have played part-time for a few more seasons at a good salary.
When spring training opens March 1 for major league baseball, several outstanding players of seasons past whose faces were familiar in baseball circles will be missing.
Along with DiMaggio another one of the national game's all-time greats who will be missing is Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox batting star who was recalled back into active duty by the Marine Corps. Some baseball experts feel that Ted's return to the service means the end of his major league career because he will be too old to play after he finishes his time with the Marines.
The draft has made many inroads in the ranks of major league baseball, with such players as Willie Mays of the New York Giants, and Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers having been summoned by Ucle Sam.
Other top stars such as Ralph Kiner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Alvin Dark of the New York Giants and Gerry Coleman of the New York Yankees, who are in reserve units, may be called back to duty before or during the 1952 baseball season.
Many outstanding minor league players who worked out in major league training camps last year and were scheduled to play in the majors this season have had to go into the army.
Women To Play In Final Games
The final division games of the Women's Intramural basketball program will be played in Robinson gym tonight and Wednesday.
By JACKIE JONES
Several of the best teams will face easy competition, but two of the top squads will meet each other in what should be the season's toon game.
Foster hall and Alpha Chi Omega will clash at 9 p.m. Wednesday, and the division crown will go to the winner.
In this game, three of the top forwards in intramural competition will meet and the final score probably will be in the high figures. Shirley Mickelson and Ernestine Dehlinger play for Foster, while Mary Ann Mahoney should be the sparkplug of the Alpha Chi's.
Last year's champions, Kappa Alpha Theta, will meet Alpha Delta Pi at 8 Wednesday, and a victory would give the talented Thetas the crown in their division.

There is "no significant difference" between the grades of college athletes and those of other students, according to the conclusions reached in a recent study made by the University.
Athletes' Grades 'Average'
Using adding machines, theses and psychological tests, the University has combined three studies made in three different places and arrived at the conclusions which are condensed into a bulletin by Edwin R. Elbel, professor of physical education.
Junior high, high school and college lettermen were compared in the study to nonlettermen in the same schools. High school lettermen came out even with the other students, while the junior high athletes averaged a little better than the non-athletes. The comparisons were made by "means," or halfway marks between high and low rather than by averages.
The study found the "mean grade" for college football lettermen to be "significantly lower" than the mean for nonletter winners. Actually the difference was about the distance between a C and a C plus.
The college athlete study was made at a "Kansas teachers college" where 185 lettermen in football, basketball and track from 1928 through 1950 were matched against non-athletes of the same age, school

The junior high school study was made of the records of 200 letter winners and 200 non-athletes in six Topeka schools through 1949 to 1951 with the athletes leading in all comparisons.
The high school study was made of 195 lettermen and 195 nonlettermen in a Wichita high school from 1944 to 1948. In all sports, the lettermen and nonlettermen averaged about even.
Other results in the college study showed basketball lettermen about held their own, track lettermen did slightly better, but multiple sport lettermen scored significantly lower. World War II lettermen made substantially higher grades than the vonuneter lettermen.
Robert Allen Briggs of Topeka, M. Doyle Koontz of Robinson and Keith Caywood of Kansas State Teachers college, Emporia, made the three studies used in the University bulletin.

How Advertising Helps You Get MORE FOR YOUR MONEY
Advertising
Yet Picture How Little All This Costs
For instance, advertising bigname brands of bread costs less than the wrapper.
Any other method of selling would cost the manufacturer more and therefore raise the price. Otherwise he wouldn't use advertising.
