Former KU Baseball Coach May Wind Up In Philadelphia Athletic Organization
By FRED BROOKS
Russ Sehon, former Kansas baseball coach, may possibly windup with the Philadelphia Athletics' organization this spring.
While in the east, he conferred with Connie Mack, the Athletic's 87-year-old manager, and Art Ehlers, director of the Philadelphia minor league holdings. Ehlers indicated that Sehon's education in addition to his professional experience might stand him in good stead for an executive job in the club's expansive farm system.
Sehon was recommended to the Athletics' front office by 65-year-old Pat Donahue, a Philadelphia scout and discoverer of the Cleveland Indians' fabulous Bob Feller. Donahue, a colleague of Ernie Quigley when the two were umpiring in the majors, first noticed Sehon last year at the spring training camp of the Hutchinson, Kan., club. The veteran scout was impressed by the hustle and managerial cunning of the former Jayhawker coach. Sehon was player-manager of the Hutchinson nine for a year.
A stickler for proper conditioning, he keeps in trim in the off season officiating high school and junior college football and basketball games.
Sehon predicted a bright future for rangy Dick Gilman, Kansas pitching sensation the past year, who is ticketed for the majors this spring. Gilman, who has had offers from six major league clubs, was one of the mainstays on Sehon's '48 Jayhawker squad.
"Dick shows great promise." Sehon said. "He has the necessary physical attributes and the right mental outlook. He is a fine athlete with the potentiality of becoming a really great pitcher."
Sehon, an infielder, gained his first professional experience with Deland in the Florida state league in 1940.
He spent the next four years in the navy, and while at the Bainbridge, Md., training station he played on the camp's baseball team. The bluejackets boasted an all-major league infield including Sherry Robertson, Washington Senators; Elbie Fletcher, formerly of the Pittsburgh Pirates, now a free agent; Dick Sisler, Philadelphia Phillies.
and Bob Scheffing, Chicago Cubs catcher.
In 1946 he reported for spring training at the camp of the Indianapolis Indians of the American Association. He was later optioned to Jackson (Miss.) of the Southeastern league where he finished the season.
He returned to K.U. that fall, and in 1948 was named baseball coach while still an undergraduate.
Law Dean Outlines Court Attitudes
The present attitudes of the courts in regard to patent laws were outlined to members of the Chemistry club Jan. 12 in Bailey Chemical laboratories. The group met to hear F. J. Moreau, Dean of the School of Law, speak on "Patent Law in Chemistry."
Dean Moreau advised the student chemists to consult a patent attorney if they had developed any patentable object rather than attempt to obtain a patent themselves.
Recent court rulings handed down in patent appeal cases have indicated that the nature of the invention has become more qualified with particular stress on the creative genius of the inventor, rather than his skill in the arts.
According to the Patent act, the invention or discovery must come under the classification of art, machine, manufacture, composition of matter, plants, or design. The contemporary interpretation of the act shows that modern developments and improvements of products already in use are difficult to patent because they are based on prior art, Dean Moreau said.
He cited several cases in which new products of chemical combinations have been patented or refused patents.

Uncle Stu Dunbar of the Topeka State Journal has said everything about the recent Quigley rumors that need to be said. And he has done it in exactly one sentence:
By RICHARD DILSAVER
"The only persons who know what's going to happen at K.U. are Chancellor Deane Malott and board of regents, and if you think you can get anything out of them try asking questions."
However, for the yet uninformed, here is a quick brief of the situation. The University director of athletics is two, and almost three, years past the usual retirement age for administrators —65. Twice the board of regents have extended Mr. Quigley's term in view of the great work he has done for K.U. athletics.
Now, particularly since the Big Seven pre-season basketball tourney in Kansas City, scuttle butt is rebounding all over the conference saying Mr. Quigley will not be granted another year's extension when his present contract elapses next June. Named in the rumors as likely successors in event of such action have been John Munn, director of basketball used, had basketball coach at Springfield, Mass college; Carl "Dork" Duncan; Northwestern university basketball coach; and Ray Evans, recent Jayhawker All-American sensation, all prominent alumni.
Every sportswriter around has made his bid to explain the situation, so we might as well offer ours. We would say that somewhere along the way Mr. Quigley has stepped on somebody's toes, or at least somebody has felt that he did so. As to just how, we wouldn't care to venture. But, for example, it might be that one airline's executive became riled when some other plane service got the job of transporting the Jayhawker football team to the Colorado and Arizona games. That's purely for illustration, understand, and isn't necessarily the case.
So the vexed man, probably an alumnus, organizes others of his breed, whom he knows to be anti-Quilegy for reasons somewhat similar to his own, and forms an anti-Quilegy clique. Then the clique starts to work on we gullibles of gullibles, the sports-writers. The clique's hopes are that enough fuss will be generated to nudge the chancellor and reagents into ousting Mr. Quilegy.
Such a campaign in the sports columns alone would die an early death, but if the clique had enough inside connections there would be a chance for its success. We're not going to say whether or not Mr.
Atomic Scientists Visit University
Two atomic energy scientists from the United States atomic energy commission visited the University's physics department, chemistry department, and the chemical engineering laboratory, recently.
The scientists, G. W. Morgan, and Robert T. Thalght, serve as liaison men between the commission and the users of radio-active materials.
The men, who are from the isotopes division, Oak Ridge, Tenn., had lunch with six faculty members. They were R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry; Raiph I. Canuteson, director of the health service; Frank E Hoecker, associate professor of physics; J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering; E. B. Stoufler, dean of the University; and J. D Stranathan, professor of physics.
Department Store Book
Is Found In Christmas Box
Wichita—(L,P)—A mystery of a missing department store sales book has been cleared up in Wichita. A Ponce City, Okla., customer mailed it to the store. It had been wrapped in a Christmas package purchased at the store.
Quigley will still be in charge by September. What we'll do is take Uncle Stu's words to heart, sit back and wait until the chancellor and regents make up their minds. And we'll also let all of the forthcoming "hot tips" accredited to the cousin of the brother-in-law of the guy who empties wastebaskets for chancellor Malott or regent head Oscar Stauffer go in one car and, etc.
