Those of us who are not frequent callers at Robinson gym are seldom aware of the administrative activity behind the scenes of our athletic teams.
For example, do you realize that within one year six of the University's seven head coaching jobs have changed hands? In fact, only Dr. Forrest C. Allen remains from last year's head men.
J. V. Sikes has taken over for George Sauer as the football boss, and also has two new assistants. Bill Easton is the new track coach and Kansas Relays director, replacing Ray Kanehl.
James Sever, an assistant professor of history, has replaced Gordon Sabine as tennis head. Sabine, assistant professor of journalism, is on leave to study for a higher degree.
Bill Winey, College junior, has taken over the golf team for Robert Coyan. Russ Sehon, a junior in education, this spring assumed the responsible job of coaching the baseball squad, a post vacated by Vic Bradford when the latter followed Sauer to the Naval academy.
***
Add to the list Walter Mikols, whose swimming team turned in a commendable season's work in the school's return to the pool after several years.
Such a turnover in coaching personnel is no cause for alarm. In these years when coaches are scarcie and coaching positions are plentiful many mentors consider their job as a special service to the athletic department until a permanent man can be hired. In minor sports this has been true. In the major coaching shifts the building process is still being reflected, with Easton and Sikes both excellent, and it is hoped, permanent additions to our athletic faculty.
Nevertheless, it must have been a busy year for E. C. Quigley, our dynamic athletic director, who must fill the gaps as rapidly as possible, and with capable men. In the few years he has been at the University he has proved to be a wise employer.
Prof. Robert G. Foster of the sociology and home economics departments will talk to members of the student counseling staff on marriage counseling at 3 p.m. tomorrow in the Pine room of the Union.
The meeting is open to all persons in University counseling positions, but is not open to students.

The marriage, which will be the second for both, will be in June. Miss Maxwell's first husband was John Conte. North was formerly married to Mary Beth Hughes, actress.

Bucky Isn't Modest
"Who's going to stop us?" he says.
"Sure, the Red Sox, Indians and other clubs have been strengthened. But so have we. We will open the season 25 per cent stronger this year than we did last."
Says Yankees Can't Lose

KU Graduate Engaged To Blonde Movie Actress
New York, April 7-(UP)-Bucky Harris isn't like most major league managers. He doesn't pull any punches and comes right out with what he thinks.
And he thinks his 1948 Yankees should, and will, win the American league pennant.
Now MacPhail has gone on and there won't be any more front office interference. So Bucky is sure the Yankees will get off to a flying start this season.
Harris, more than any one else, was responsible. He called a clubhouse meeting at which he told the players that he was interested only in what they did in the field and that he would fight their front office battles for them. That did it.
Not that he doesn't have his problems. He is wondering whether Joe DiMaggio will be able to throw; whether Charlie Keller is going to be able to come back; whether big Bill Bevens of world series pitching fame is going to whip his sore arm and whether the aging George McQuinn will hold up another season at first base.
There is no question but what the latter statement is correct. At the start last year the Yankees floundered in the second division until a near player revolt against then President Larry MacPhail changed things and got them on the right track. Front Office Trouble
Front Office Trouble
Tommy Henrich will be at his usual right field spot and if Keller is unable to make the grade Johnny Lindell, who played the position most of last year will be in left. Maes Clinches Spot
Rookie Cliff Mapes, who hit .308 with Kansas City last year, has clinched a garden reserve spot.
The infield will be the same as last year with McQuinn on first, George Stirnweiss at second, Phil Rizzuto at short and Billy Johnson at third.
Behind the plate, Harris is banking on Yogi Berra to overcome his throwing weakness.
Cocky Frank Shea, the freshman star of last year; Allie Reynolds, the 19-game winner; and two men purchased from other clubs, Ed. Lopat and Anne are certain starters on the pitching staff.
Another, KC Player.
Also bidding for regular starting berths are southpaw Tommy Byrne, a 12-game winner with Kansas City in 1947; Vic Raschi, who won seven with the Yanks after they bought him from Portland in mid-season and Dick Starr, a rookie who won nine at Newark the past season.
Joe Page, of course, will be the relief ace with Karl Drews, Frank Hiller and Randy Gumpert fighting for the other berths on the staff.
