The six weeks of spring football drills ended May 5 with the varsity-alumni game and it won't be until early next fall that the id game will again be in the sports spotlight. But loyal Jayhawks-won't forget the bright spots they saw among the inexperienced rarity as they competed against some of the most famous of all U. athletes.
Probably the most heartening factor all spring has been the stale and willingness prevalent among the players. Nobody haside Coach J. V. Sikes' 1951 lineup yet, and everybody concernedams well aware of that fact. There is competition galore and theys seem ready and willing to fight hard for that starting call.
Once or twice every week Sikes might comment on the spirit shown by his charges, and that's high praise coming from the usually taciturn tactician. He never came right out and said he was pleased with the boys. Like any other top-notch coach, he'd grumble and growl about lack of blocking, sloppy line play, or soft-hitting backs.
"We've a long way to go," was his favorite reply to questions concerning the 1951 outlook. No one doubts that they don't have a long way to go. Sikes and his assistants are definitely hampered by a lack of seasoned material. Yet there's an old saying that goes, "where there's a will there's a way." The Jayhawks have the will—a fine K.U. coaching staff will show them the way
We'll be looking forward to next season's opener Sept. 22 when unsas meets Texas Christian at Fort Worth. It will be the opener a tough schedule of ten games that lasts for slightly more than 6 months, climaxing on Dec. 1 with the battle against the Misericors.
Lugh Casey, The Ol' Dodger Fireman, comes Back With Pennant Dreams
By OSCAR FRALEY
New York (U.P.)-Twenty years makes a lot of changes in a man it aging Hugh Casey has brought the same strong arm out oforgia once again with dreams of pitching the Brooklyn Dodgers a pennant.
The first time, back in 1932, Hugh is a husky kid of 18 with a blazer-fast ball and lots of brash, sky confidence. And twice he saw old series service for Brooklyn. Now he's a portly man of 37 who posedely was through three years. The fast ball and the cocki-ars are gone, but in their place is quiet confidence and a heap of thing wisdom he believes will just as well.
that's the word from two of his mates with whom Hughie won 1941 National league pennant. xie Walker, who managed Casey Atlanta last season, and Coach itlow Wyatt both insist that ghe still can throw 'em in the jors.
o, after almost two decades, fireen Hugh is attempting the same arney—and a supporting Dodger mni association insists, as the ooklyn masterminds "look him r," that Hughie can mean another ooklyn pennant.
asey agrees.
"I'm not kidding myself." Hughie cued as he shook the kinks out his arm at Ebbets field. "I know don't have too much longer to ch—but there's no reason at all y I can't be as good as ever this son. My arm never has been e and 'seel I'm as good as I was 1947."
That was the Crasher's big season, won 10 and lost only four for okkym—and appeared in six of seven world series games against Yankees. He won two of them, without suffering a loss.

Kell And Rizzuto Chosen Tops In American League
Dec. 1: Missouri at Lawrence (homecoming)
New York—(U.P.)—George Kell of the Tigers and Phil Rizzuto of the Yankees were chosen as the two best players in the American league in a poll conducted among the players themselves.
A total of 21 players from each of the eight clubs designated those players whom they believed were tops at their particular positions—the ball players' ball players.
Kell, who was not among the voters, was a unanimous choice as the outstanding third baseman in the league. Rizzuto, who was among the voters, also would have been unanimous choice at shortstop had he, himself, not selected Lou Boudreau of the Red Sox as best at that position.

The University of Kansas Marketing Department in cooperation with the University Daily Kansan is conducting a market survey and readership study among K.U. students. They will attempt to find out how much students spend on housing, food, clothing, recreation, personal services, transportation, gifts, drugs, and cosmetics.
Four hundred students will be interviewed between May 3 and 10, and results will be published the latter part of May.
The Kansan and Marketing Department ask your cooperation if you are chosen to be interviewed. The results will provide you, the marketing and advertising departments, and the Kansan with helpful and interesting data. In no case will individual names be associated with any of the results.
