Former British Davis Cup Player To Stage Clinic Here Thursday
Charles E. Hare, former British Davis Cup player, will stage a tennis clinic and exhibition here at 3 p.m. Thursday.
The affair will be open to all students and townpeople. Every participant must be dressed in tennis gear with their own racquet and one tennis ball. Hare will demonstrate various strokes and court strategy.
Following the clinic Hare is scheduled in an exhibition match against Hal Surface, Jr., Missouri Valley champion. This pair is slated against Valley doubles champs Len Prosser, and Alex George, also of Kansas City, Mo.
Hare was playing in the United States in 1938 when World War II broke in Europe. Unable to return to England for several years he became
a naturalized citizen and joined American armed forces.
He is married to a former English Wightman Cup performer, Mary Hardwick.
Heat Savings For Farmers
Hare's appearance here is being sponsored by the Wilson Sporting Goods company.
University of Nebraska researchers say a farmer using electricity to keep his stock tanks from freezing can save nearly 88 per cent of the cost by protecting the waterer with insulation, a wood cover and a heat retaining box.

Cage Team Opens Drills For Alumni-Varsity Game
Twenty 1951-52 Varsity basketball candidates started spring cage drills Monday afternoon in Robinson gym in preparation for the Varsity-Alumni basketball game to be played in Hoch auditorium, Friday night, May 4.
This game will be part of an All-Sports Weekend planned at the University for Friday and Saturday, May 4 and 5. Included will be a baseball game between K.U. and Kansas State each day, a track meet with K-State on Saturday, and golf and tennis matches with Nebraska.
The colorful weekend of sports will be elimaxed by an Alumni-Varsity football game in Memorial stadium Saturday afternoon that will complete six weeks of spring football drills.
Eight members of the 1950-51 team that won 16 and lost eight reported to Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen. Included in this group were starters Bill Lienhard and Bob Kenney, forwards; Clyde Lovellette, center, and guard Bill Hougland. Other squad members were Dean Kelley, John Keller, Ken Buller, and Mark Rivard.
Assistant Coach Dick Harp greeted 12 members of his freshman squad of 1951 who will attempt to earn Varsity berths with the Jayhawkers next fall.
Freshmen reporting are B. H.
Born, Everett Dye, Bob Godwin,
Weston Johnson, Bob Anderson,
Wesley Whitney, Rich Young, Allen
Kelley, Lavannes Squires, John
Thompson, Bill Cunningham, and
Dick Logan.
Jerry Waugh, K.U. basketball captain in 1951, is assisting Coach Allen in spring drills. Waugh was recently appointed head basketball coach at Emporia high school and will take over his new assignment Sept. 1.
Coach Allen is without the services of three seniors who will graduate this year. They are Sonny Enns, Buddy Bull. and Dale Engel.
Charlie Hoag, K.U.'s other starter during the second half of the past season, is on the track team and will miss spring drills.
Other 1951 squad members competing in other Varsity sports this spring include Bill Schaake, Dean Wells, Jack Rodgers, football; Wally Beck and Don Woodson, track, and Dean Smith is catching on the K.U. baseball team.
These 6-foot 9-inch giants are aggressive rebounders as well as high scorers, and will keep such old-timers as Charlie Black, Otto Schnellbacher, Claude Houchin, Waugh, Ray Evans, Gene Petersen, and Co. plenty busy in attempting to check their high scoring antics for the Alumni.
Coach Allen is expected to give the Alumni team plenty of trouble by using his two towering skyscrapers, Lovellette and Born, on a double-post offense.

Cleveland (U.P.)—Cleveland Manager Al Lopez chorted today, "we're going to be even better."
Indian's Mound Staff Looks Good This Year
Under Lopez, the tribe has taken up where it left off at the end of last season when it closed with a rush for Ex-Manager Lou Boudreau.
"Even better," than first place is a difficult trick, but Lopez explained that while his first line pitching staff has come through, his hitters are still short of their full ability.
This year, Bob Lemon, Bob Feller, Early Wynn, and Mike Garcia, "The best righthanded mound corps in the business," have gone the route.
A heartening factor is that Feller is showing sparks of being the "Rapid Robert" of old.

Bobby Brown Can't Resist
New York (U.P.) The lure of baseball ballnails proved stronger than the desire to remain in the spotless white-linen coat of a doctor today to third baseman Bobby Brown of the New York Yankees.
The 26-year-old baseball-playing doctor took an indefinite leave of absence from Southern Pacific hospital in San Francisco to rejoin the Yankees yesterday. Brown, who received his doctor's degree from Tulane last summer, was serving his first year of internship at the hospital.
"I am subject to draft call by the army at any time whether I'm in the hospital or playing baseball," explained Brown. "The hospital promised me a leave of absence when I started my internship, so I took it.
