Membership In Soccer Club Shows Increase Over 1950
Soccer at the University is rapidly expanding toward a point of firm organization. From a faltering start last year, the soccer team has grown to the 20-man club today. Though team members this season don't have the soccer "know-how" of the squad of 1950,.more men seem to be taking an interest in the sport.
Most players are foreign students who have had some experience at the international game.
Four members of last year's team have returned to bolster the material available this year.
Adnan Abdullah, engineering junior,
Bezale Berger, College freshman,
Baager Shirazi, engineering senior,
and Bernard Weitzer, engineering senior,
are the holdovers from 1950. Abdullah is from Arabia,
Berger and Weitzer from Mexico,
and Shirazi from India.
Since last spring when the team was first organized, it has played college, Kansas State, Oklahoma A&M, and St. Benedicts.
Though still unequipped as far as regulation shoes and guards are concerned, the soccer team has already played two games this fall. They tied Park College 2-2 in November, and scored a 3-3 tie with the Kansas City Benson Chiefs Dec. 2.
The game is not officially recognized as a sport of the University as yet and is locally sponsored by the International club. Weitzner has been acting as coach of the team and has engineered the drive for organization of the team.
The game itself resembles football in that 11 men are used in both games. One of these, however, is a goal-keeper—much like the goalie in hockey—who is the only member of the team allowed to touch the ball with his hands. The rest of the players must kick the ball toward the opposing goal.
Soccer is played in halves of 45 minutes each on a field 110 yards long and 55 vards wide.

Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-Missouri Valley conference officials believed today that despite the loss of Drake and Bradley the conference is stronger and more firmly knit together than ever before."
It is hoped by team members that not only will soccer soon be recognized as a University sport, but that it will also become a Big Seven conference game.
Faculty representatives indicate as they closed their annual meeting that some expansion was contemplated, although they said the conference could continue with only six members if necessary.
League Firm Despite Loss
a conference spokesman said the faculty group had voted in favor of legislation which would limit the number of athletic scholarships in any one sport, and called for a national collegiate policy on "recruiting and pay of athletes."
Bradley and Drake withdrew from the conference because of the Johnny Bright slugging incident which occurred in the Drake-Okla-ohauna A&M game during the past season.
"Such policies are essential and must be backed by sufficient staff and facilities to hold all institutions who participate in intercollegiate athletics in line," the spokesman said.
Conference officials said they favored a re-study of the bowl picture by the extra events committee of the NCAA, and added that bowl games had more merit than some de-emphasis efforts would indicate
Dr. Frank L. Stovall of the University of Houston was named president of the faculty representatives. Other member schools are Wichita, Oklahoma A&M, Tulsa, Detroit and St. Louis.
Rabbit Shoots Man

Baltimore—(U.P.) —When a man shoots a rabbit it isn't news.
Monroe said he was awakened by a sharp pain in his hand. There was his pet rabbit peering at him over the sights of a 22 caliber rifle lying on a chair.
But Julius Monroe got shot by a rabbit.
Monroe figured the curious cottonail hit the trigger when it hopped on the chair to investigate the rifle.
Senior Athlete To Be Awarded Beach Trophy
the banquet, which is held in honor of the Jayhawker football squad, will be at the Lawrence Community building at 6:30 o'clock.
The Ormand Beach trophy will be awarded to the outstanding senior Kansas football player tonight at the annual Lawrence Quarterback club banquet.
Laurence "Moon" Mullins, athletic director at Kansas State, is scheduled to address the group. He replaces Harold "Red" Grange, famed University of Illinois football star who has been forced to cancel the speaking engagement because of illness.
Movies of highlights of the 1951 football season also will be shown for the first time.
The trophy is a gift of Mrs. Ormand Beach in memory of her husband who was a former KU football star. He was killed in an accident in 1939.
Wade Stinson was presented the trophy last year and Bud French was the recipient in 1949.
Mullins has a wide background in football, having played fullback at Notre Dame in 1929 and 1930 under Knute Rocke. He began his coaching career under Bill Hargiss at Kansas in 1931.
Arch Ward, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, was the guest speaker last year.
