There's Always The River
While other Big Seven swimming coaches are starting to get their squads into shape for the season, the K. U. coach and team can only look longingly into an empty pool filled with sand and shovels.
Construction to enlarge the pool began in June, and the job which was to have been finished by early fall, is still far from complete.
Swimming coach Walter J. Mikols said that we have the best potential team in our history with depth in every event—a rare circumstance for K. U. teams. This is the circumstance needed for Kansas to have a really good team, yet with all the possibilities for a good season, there isn't any pool.
There are several explanations as to why the construction job is still incomplete. One is that the University hasn't been able to obtain enough title to finish the job. J. J. Wilson, K.U. business manager, said that there are only three contractors in this section of the country who can do tile work, and they are swamped with work.
Whatever the reason, Coach Mikols said that a team should have 12 weeks practice before its first meet. K.U.'s first scheduled meet is Jan. 29, and even if the contractor completes the job in record time, the team is going to get only about eight week's practice, which isn't enough to put it in good condition.
dnt enough to put it in good terms. The team has considered practicing in the nearest indoor pool, which would be in Kansas City or Topeka, but this, Mikols said, would be impractical and would exhaust the team instead of getting it into shape. The extra time involved in traveling would also cause them to fall behind in school work.
Each year, record time on events has been decreasing, which indicates that the quality of the individual swimmers is improving. The coach and team members are determined to have a team, pool or no pool, but it's a shame that with the best potential team in years there isn't any pool for practice.
We hope that the pool can be rushed to completion to give Kansas the outstanding swimming team which is its potential.

Boudreau Might Become Highest-paid Utility Man
Boston. Nov. 28—(U.P.)-Likable Lou Boudreau looked today as though he might become baseball's highest-paid utility man—at $65,000 a season—unless his new bosses on the Boston Red Sox can trade a regular infielder in their annual hunt for badly needed pitchers.
The former Cleveland Indians player-manager agreed to a one-year contract with the Red Sox Monday, giving rise to a well-founded speculation that the Boston club may make room for him by peddling off either shortstop Vern Stephens or third baseman Johnny Pesky.
Red Sox manager Steve O'Neill of course, non-committal about a possible trade, but said the new addition to his team of sluggers would have to work for a regular spot in the lineup.
"Far as I'm concerned, Boudreau will go into spring training as a player who must earn a regular job," O'Neill said at his Cleveland home. "If he can show me that he has the stuff, I may play him at short or third base."

Sooners Remain No.1 Team As Season Wanes
New York, Nov. 28 (U.P.)—Oklahoma and Army have more than just a football game at stake next Saturday when they meet their arch rivals, Oklahoma A. and M. and Navy.
For the team which makes the most impressive showing will be crowned the nation's No. 1 football team—provided of course, that both win as they are favored to do.
for the second straight week, the two undefeated and untied teams finished in the two top spots in the United Press football ratings, compiled from the selections of 35 of the nation's outstanding coaches.
In winning the No. 1 beth for the second week in a row, Oklahoma made the best showing in the history of the ratings, falling only 13 points short of perfection. They amassed a total of 337 out of a possible 350 points as 25 of the coaches rated them first, seven second and three third.
Army, idle last Saturday as Oklahoma defeated Nebraska 49 to 35, staved in second place for the second straight week, receiving five first place votes and a total of 291 points. Army had the best previous showing in the poll, getting a total of 335 points in the fourth weekly ratings.
Behind the two top clubs in this week's ratings are California, Texas, Tennessee, Princeton, Kentucky, Michigan State, Michigan and Clemson. Michigan's Rose-Bowl bound Wolverines, and Big Ten champions, and Clemson were newcomers to the select list, replacing Illinois and Ohio State.
However, none of the eight teams other than Oklahoma and Army which were in the top 10 last week, held the same positions. California, although tied by Stanford, moved from fourth to third place as Kentucky, third last week, dropped to seventh place after being beaten by Tennessee. The victory jumped Tennessee from eighth to sixth place.
