PAGE SIX UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1949 IM Program Is Expected To Break 1948-49 Record Looking at the "biggest ever" number of teams and men participating in the intramural basketball program, it looks as though the intramural program for this school year will exceed, or at least equal, that of last year when a record number of students entered the competition in the various sports. Over 1400 men are playing on the 142 basketball teams organized this year. Last year 131 quintets participated. However, this greater number playing basketball is not a sure indication that this year's program will be the biggest in the history of the University. Fewer men played touch football this fall. Last year there were 66 football teams, this year 55. The number of students who go out for the late winter sports of volleyball and swimming plus those who participate in the spring sports will be the determining factor as to whether the 1949-50 program beats last year's. The basketball teams will play about 600 games, including the tournament tilts, before the season ends. Severity a week are to be run off. Initial contests were played last week. In addition to the men's teams 23 women's squads are playing contests. Women's basketball games are played on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. In overall charge of the intramural program is Don Powell. The size of the program, one of the larger ones in the nation, has more than doubled since Powell took over four years ago. Assisting him in preparing schedules and contacting the players are Ron Roberts, secretary of intramurals, and Don Roberts. Both are seniors in education. Three thousand men were active in last year's sports, nearly half of the 6,300 men enrolled at K.U Many of these students entered competition in more than one sport An even dozen sports are offered in intramurals. The major fall sport is football, with golf, tennis horseshoes, handball, and badminton the minor sports. Basketball tops the winter sports Other sports are bowling, new this year, volleyball, and swimming. In the spring it is softball for the main team sport. Track is also offered along with round-robin in play in golf, tennis, horeshoes, handball, and badminton. These spring minor sports differ from the same sports played in the fall in that they are round-robin while the fall sports are single elimination tournaments. Women's intramural sports are tennis, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, swimming, and softball. A student manager plan whereby students submit applications is used to aid in the running off the men's intramurals. The amount of equipment needed to carry on the intramural program is sizable. Last year a dozen basketballs were used along with eight volleyballs, 15 catchers' masks, 200 softballs, and 10 footballs. Each year eight freshman students are selected from the applications. They are awarded jackets at the end of the year. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are picked to be student managers are given other awards. Officials for the program use from 100 to 120 whistles. Powell, however, is still not satisfied with number of men playing. When it was pointed out to him that there were several men not in the program, Powell said that the new field house would enable them to expand the program. Men on the varsity teams will move into the field house, leaving Robinson gym exclusively to intramurals. Then he said, speaking of the non-players, "Til get om." Red Peppers Elect Four More Officers The Red Peppers, freshman pep organization, elected the following officers recently: Jerry Hesse, secretary; Alice Milligan, treasurer; Darlene Schindler, song leader; and Leah Ross, social chairman. These new officers and Grace Endecott, president, and Marilyn More vice-president, will be guests at the next meeting of the Jav Janes. Women Start Table Tennis The women's intramural table tennis singles tournament continues this week with the second round of play-offs. Games started last week and will continue through January Final games between division winners will follow immediately and the championship play-off should take place in the latter par of February. Approximately 130 women are participating in the tournament. They were paired off into eight divisions with about six or eight rounds of play for each division. Usually each round is allowed a week for completion, but holdovers are sometimes necessary. Doris Tihen, College senior, is defending her record as three-time champion and will certainly be hard to beat. She would like to make "a clean sweep of it" for her fourth singles crown. Florida Future Formers Cut Lunch Costs By Pigs Newberry, Fla.—(U.R.)-Members of the Newberry Future farmers of America have made a deal with the high school which pleases everyone concerned. The student farmers have agreed to furnish the school lunch room with all the vegetables, both fresh and canned, that it needs. In return the boys get the lunch room garbage to feed their hogs. The student-in-the-classroom is the real winner. The arrangement makes it possible to reduce lunch prices about 25 per cent. Fireman Answers Own Alarm Coffeyville—(U.P.)—F. R. Cooney is a fireman who turned in and answered the same alarm. Mr. Cooney found a cushion ablaze in his car parked half a block from the fire house. He ran to the station, turned in the alarm, then sprinted back with other firemen to put the fire out. Students Operate Companies Cleveland. Ohio—(U.P.)-H i g h school students in Cleveland learn free enterprise through their own companies. They have 25 of them under Junior Achievement, Inc., and they operate as full-fledged businesses. They have issued and sold stock and elected officers. They do their own production work and sell their products. Newburyport, Mass.—(U.P.)—When Leonard B. Murray received only 50 votes in the primary election for mayor, he published a notice thanking his friends "for knowingly wasting their votes." He also advised him to be more careful with their ballots in the election.

"Why don't they dribble? There's a hole wide enough to drive a tank through on that team." Such comments are often heard from men watching a woman's basketball game. The difference in playing rules is quite confusing to them. This year the men will be even more bewildered because there have been several important changes in the rules. As before, players can't bat the ball out of an opponent's hands. Once a girl gets hold of the ball it's hers until she passes it to another player. This year women have been given more freedom of movement and the game will be much faster. This is because the new rules allow two dribbles of the ball in moving down the court, in place of the former one dribble rule. A second new ruling is the time out for free throw. The rebound can't be played, but the same forward that made the free throw "takes the ball in" for her team even if she didn't make the toss good. There are approximately 250 women playing on the 23 teams participating in this year's competition. The teams are divided into four divisions. This enables most of the teams to play five games, although AWS Calendar Lists University Programs University programs and activity meetings during December are listed on the Associated Women Students' calendar which has been prepared by Arthea North, College sophomore. The calendar is being distributed to organized houses by their representatives to the A.W.S. and to members of the precincts by their precinct captains.

Two teams to watch will be Delta Gamma and Corbin. Both have some very good players. Corbin is using two teams and intends to "bring home the bacon" with one of them. L. W.W. and Kappa Alpha Theta, last year's champion and runner-up, will have a hard fight on their hands if they hope to stay on top again. Both teams will probably be weaker this year because of the loss of some of their top players through graduation, and many other teams will have much improved squads.
