Intramural Managers Will Meet Today
One of the largest intramural programs in the University's history starts at 4 p.m. today with the opening meeting of the representatives of each organization at the intramural office.
The deadline for entries in fall sports will be 4 p.m. Thursday. In touch football each organization may enter one "A" team, one "B" team, and as many additional eight-man teams as it wishes. The intramural fields are in the best condition in several years.
Other sports beginning in the fall program will be tennis, golf, horse-
shoes, and badminton. A single elimination tournament will be held in each of these sports. Each organization may enter as many men as it wishes. The entry fee for all fall sports will be 35 cents a man.
The intramural office will accept freshman applications for student managers. Written applications must be turned in no later than Sept. 30.
Don Powell, director of intramurals, expects as large a season as last year, which was the largest in the history of the school with 5,000 men participating in the program.
Mrs. America Challenges Miss America To Contest
New York, Sept. 19—(U.P.)Mrs. Frances Becker Cloyd, 23, Mrs. America of 1494, repeated today her challenge to Miss America for an All-American beauty title "for charity."
"It's not that I'm conceived." Mrs. Cloyd said, "but I think a woman isn't really mature until she is married and has children. It brings out more of her charm and lovliness."
Mrs. Cloyd, a tall, trim blonde from San Diego, placed fourth in the Mrs. America contest last year as Mrs. Colorado. She is the mother of
three children. Her third child was born eight weeks ago.
Miss America, 18-year-old Jacque Mercer of Phoenix, Ariz., turned down Mrs. Americas challenge last week, saying she wasn't interested in any more contests.
"Unripe gold," Indians of the Andes highlands scornfully called platinum in the days of the Spanish Conquistador. They threw the supposedly inferior metal back into the streams to ripen, says the National Geographic society.

Wismer Says Stengel Will Stay
BY BUD WRIGHT
If you've had high hopes Joe DiMaggio would take over as skipper of the New York Yankees during the 1950 baseball season you may be in for a big letdown.
BY BUD WINNER
Daily Kansas Sports Editor
That's the opinion of Harry Wismer, nationally known sports announcer who aired the T.C.U.-K.U. football game for the American Broadcasting Company here Saturday afternoon.
daily interview.
The veteran A. B. C. announcer was interviewed by the Daily Kansan in the Hotel Eldridge at noon Saturday ten minutes after he arrived in Lawrence. It was his first visit to the University of Kansas campus.
Wismer was dressed casually in a gray flannel suit. He wore a green and white necktie and brown alligator-skin shoes to match. He, his attractive young wife, and business associates drove from Kansas City where he broadcasts his A. B. C. sports show Friday night.
Wisner said recent rumors that Casey Stengel, the Yankee's present manager, would retire at the end of the current are not well-founded. "It is unlikely that DiMaggio would
replace him even if he should retire," he added.
"Stengel has done the most outstanding managerial job in the U. S. this season, this despite numerous injuries to key Yankee players," he commented. "With such a great showing, it is doubtful he will retire."
When asked how George Sauer, former Kansas football coach, was getting along at Navy, the stocky, chestnut-haired sporting figure said, "George has much better material to work with this year, his team is 100% behind him, and he should have a successful season." He talked to coach Sauer at a football banquet recently.
Sauer coached the Jayhawker spud that won the Big Six cochampionship and went to the

Orange Bowl during the 1947-1948 season. He spent his first season at Navy last year and failed to win a game, although his team did the powerful Army to finish the season. Navy had one of the roughest schedules in the country.
The 36-year-old Wisner is now in his ninth season with A. B. C. This season he will broadcast 32 more football games. Seventeen will be professional contests and the remainder will be collegiate games.
Besides his heavy football broadcast schedule Wismar also covers numerous golf and tennis matches. Next Saturday he will be in Evanson, Ill., to give the play-by-play description of the Northwestern-Purdue football classic. He will end his football broadcasts this year with coverage of the Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans. Wismar estimates that he travels 150,000 miles annually.
