UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1951
Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By ALAN MARSHALL
Daily Kansas Sports Editor
What can you say at the end of the year? Every thing we know about sports has already been written and published. You know how our teams came out, who was outstanding and who wasn't so outstanding, and where Kansas finished among its Big Seven rivals,
You should know that next year we are expecting big things, but of course we always expect big things from next year. The football team, we say, should be good. So should the basketball team—and the track team—all the rest as well.
And we will be good. A Kansas team may not win but it always tries. Nobody knows just how good we'll be. We've got some good boys coming back, but we've also lost some good boys, boys that will be hard to replace. Then too, we've got some freshmen who give promise of great things to come.
You already know the names of Charley Hoag, Clyde Lovellette, Herb Semper, and a host of others. You won't quickly forget such names as Mike McCormack, Wade Stinson, Jerry Waugh, Jack Greenwood. And you'll be hearing the names of Orville Poppe, John Konek, B. H. Born, Wes Santee, Art Dalzell—many, many boys are destined to become tomorrow's stars.
Still at the helm will be "Dutch" Lonborg, the athletic director who is so important to a successful season. Coach Sikes will still stalk up and down the sidelines as if the world is going to end on the next play, "Doc" Allen will have a fresh supply of milk bottles filled with water, and Coach Easton will still be a reliable substitute for a faulty public address system.
They're great guys, all of them. They teach an athlete more than just a game. They teach him sportsmanship, leadership, and all the many qualities that go with athletics.
Most important of all, they teach their teams how to win and how to lose, for there's an art to both. May it never be said that Kansas quit because the score was too prejudiced.
You fans who have backed the Jayhawkers all year also deserve a vote of thanks. If you've ever played on a team, you know what it means to play before a packed house. The crowds were good this year and you gave loyal support. More of the same will be needed next year and no doubt it will be forthcoming.
Well, that's all of it. We hope you've enjoyed reading our sports page as much as we've enjoyed bringing it to you. A new staff will be in charge next fall and you'll have to get used to them just as you had to get used to us.
So, if I were a swan, you could call this my song. Whatever n is, it's my last column.

Intramural
Round-Up
All of Tuesday's championship softball games were postponed due to rain. Walter J. Mikols, acting director of intramurals, said that all those games would be played today according to the same time schedule. The all-University title games will be scheduled at a later date.
Should inclement weather prevent any competition today, all team managers are asked to contact the intramural office at K.U. 458 for further information.
Coach Mikols wants to get all games played as soon as possible to avoid difficulties that may arise during the work of the operations.

Pence And Moore Receive WAA Athletic Awards
Frances Pence and Nancy Moore, education seniors, recently received the highest athletic honor a woman athlete can achieve as the University, the Women's Athletic association plaque for outstanding athletic ability and all-around individual and team performances.
To be eligible for the W.A.A. award, a woman must attain at least a combined total of 2,000 points over a four-year period.
Points are earned through participation in various intramural activities with such things as sportsmanship, dependability, and athletic skill counting toward the 2,000-point total.
Pence, president of Corbin hall, helped the Corbin Jays to Hill intramural championships in volleyball and softball this year with the
basketball team finishing in the runnerup spot. She will teach physical education at Leavenworth (Kan.) junior high school this fall.
Moore, women's intramural golf champion in 1950, will teach physical education this fall at Leavenworth high school.
