Of recent importance in women's intramurals was the Hockey Play-day held Nov. 5 at Ottawa University. Miss Ruth Hoover, associate professor of physical education, took 18 members of her advanced hockey class.

WomenHave'FieldDay
In comparison with last year's team the playing had evidently improved. Last year K.U. fielded two teams. One was a "B" team to makeup for Baker's absence. Their "A" team beat both Ottawa and Washburn but the "B" team won one and lost one.
Of this series K.U.'s game with Ottawa was the best game of the day. The two teams were closely matched. Betty van der Smissen's playing made the difference in the two-goal victory.
KU. was able to control the ball most of the time in its games. The playing of Arlene Hill, Frances Pence, Ann Hendershot, Nancy Moore, and Sue Neff was outstanding for the University team.
Invalid Designs Hospital Table
San Diego, Calif. — (U.P.)—When Daniel C. Robbins was confined to bed for several months, he had trouble reaching all the things he wanted.
So Mr. Robbins designed what he calls the "utilitable."
It is a handsome, sturdy piece of furniture that acts as a table and will raise to fit any hospital bed and lower to any couch. All three of its shelves can be used at the same time and the top, equipped with a mirror for shaving or primping, tilts to any angle. The unit can be dismantled in a minute, folded and packed in a case.
Bill Winey, a mainstay on the K.U. golf team in 1946 and 1947, is beginning his third year as Varsity leader. He was also given the opportunity to give Kansas its first golf championship since 1939 when it edged Oklahoma by one stroke.
The best player of the day for any of the teams, however, was K.U.'s Betty van der Smissen. It was her 'field day'. She made eight of the team's twelve goals for the day. Professor Hoover remarked she "plays just like a professional."
Sherman, Gene Riling, and Bob Dare.
Kansas resumed golf in 1946 after a three year wartime layoff. They finished second to Oklahoma that year.
Around the conference Missouri lost its entire 1949 championship team by graduation, and will not be counted on to repeat. Oklahoma, runnerup to the Tigers in 1949, and always a golf power, is favored to take over and win the 1950 title. Iowa State is also figured to be a strong contender.
The 18 members of the team were chosen from the advanced hockey class by Miss Hoover.
So, 'stand up and cheer' for K. U.'s women champs.
