UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE FIV
By JM JONES Daily Kansan Sports Editor
With the recent ruling by members of the Lawrence Country club that only students who buy a $36, six-month membership may get on the course, the golf set-up for students, already poor, became worse.
Previously students had been allowed to play for $1 on week days and $2 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. A student who isn't attending summer school could hardly expect to go in more than two and a half months of golf because of weather, so the $36 membership at the Country club is prohibitive for most students. It was intended to be.
Yet, you can't blame the Lawrence Country club. The club was organized, built, and is sponsored by it's members and there isn't room for both members and student daily fee players.
The only other course where students may play is a sand-green, nine-hole course about a mile south of Lawrence on highway 59. The fees are low: 35 cents on week days, 50 cents on Sundays and holidays, or $3.50 a month, plus tax. The course is laid out on a $40-acre plot, which is small as golf courses go. With two foresomes on each hole, which would be crowded to say the least, 72 persons could get on the course at one time. The manager of the club said there have been as many as 100 persons on the course in one afternoon.
So in reality 9,000, students have available one undersized, nine-hole, sand green course on which to play golf. This, of course, they share with Lawrence golfers who are not Country club members.
Approximately 50 colleges and universities in the United States have their own golf courses. Those who don't, in most cases, have access to public courses or private clubs that permit daily fee players
Right now faculty members in the physical education department are gathering evidence to present to University officials in hopes that K.U. may some day have it's own golf course. Surely the need for one cannot be denied.
Fraley Sees Boston Series
Bv OSCAR FRALEV
New York, April 6—(UP)—Baseball is going to have its own Boston tea party come October and you can take that today from Fearless Fraley, the blight of the back bay, as he picks the Braves and the Red Sox to meet in the World Series.
All this probably will make Billy Southworth and Joe McCarthy, the respective managers, very unhappy. Because I have put the kiss of death on so many people that in some quarters (the fair sex excluded) they refer to me as Osculating Oscar.
But after a tour of the Florida training camps I have to give it to you straight. It's a 100 per cent on the level product of a poll of bat boys, sore armed pitchers, dog track rabbits, Jai Alai Masseurs and Golf pros. And they know as much as the rest of the experts.
With the season an appropriate 13 days away, the nonsensus of Fearless Fraley's forecast comes out this way:
NATIONAL AMERICAN
1. Boston Boston
2. Brooklyn New York
3. St. Louis Detroit
4. New York Cleveland
5. Pittsburgh Philadelphia
6. Cineinnati Washington
7. Chicago Chicago
8. Philadelphi St. Louis
In addition to being noted for its glaucer region with its fine stock, Kentucky boasts of its tobacco production, which is second largest in the nation. Corn is the state's second largest crop, its oil production is considerable and its manufacturing, transportation and financial interests are large.
Gophers, Texas Aggies Head Relay Entry List
A sparkling nine-man contingent from Minnesota and Texas Aggies' record-breaking mile relay team, fresh from its conquest in the Texas Relays. Tuesday headed an initial field of six official entries for the 23rd Kansas Relays here April 17.
The Gophers' entry means the Jayhawker games now are sure of the
The Qohrers entry means the first of an expected list of 12 national champions in the rugged figure of weight-tosser Fortune Gordon. Jim Kelly's squad also carries three other top-flight aces in broad-jumper Loyd LaMois; Harry Cooper Big Nine indoor pole vault champion, and hurdler Les Hofacre.
Gordien Best In Discus
Gordien and Cooper will move into Memorial stadium fresh from winning titles last Saturday in Austin. The 205-pound Norwegian shattered the Texas relays discus record with a heave of 172' 5½" while Cooper was getting over 13 feet 9 inches to bag his specialty.
Gordien own a top throw of 196" 6" with the discus—he got this one off in Denmark last summer—and is the defending N.C.A.A. champion in the event. He will pose a serious threat to the current Kansas Relays standard of 171 feet $63\%$ inches established by Indiana's Archie Harris in 1941.
Cooper went 13 feet 10 inches to bag the Big Nine indoor pole vaulting title last winter. LaMois placed third in the N.C.A.A. last June at 24 feet 2 inches and has snared second place the past two seasons at the Big Nine indoor.
Relay Team Breaks Record
Entry of the Aggies' mile relay quartet means that the "Mt. Oread Olympics" will boast both record breakers from the recent Texas conclave. The Cadets, paced by Art Harnden, Ray Holbrock and E. G. Bilderback, who finished in that order in the Southwest conference open quarter last spring, galloped home in 3:17 at Austin to lower their own record set last year by six-tenths of a second. S. C. Ludwid ran the lead leg.
This time has been surpassed only thrice in the history of the Kansas meet, and is only a second off the record of 3:16.1 erected by Texas in 1935.
Pla-Mors, Houston In Finale Tonight
Hays Teachers and Washburn university of the Central conference; Peru, Nebraska Teachers, and Drury college of Missouri, were the opening official entries in the college class.
The Houston Huskies and the Kansas City Pla-Mors tangle in Houston tonight in the "rubber" game of their U. S. Hockey league play-offs.
The winner of tonight's game plays Minneapolis for the Paul Laundon trophy, emblematic of league championship.
Both Houston and Kansas City have won three games in their best-of-seven series. If Houston wins tonight, the first game of the best-offive Loudon series will be played on Houston ice April 8. If Kansas City wins, the Pla-Mors will take on the Millers in Kansas City April 10.
Each team was extended three sets before downing their semi-final opponents. Tihen-Vickers won over Lemon-Young, Alpha Omicron Pi, 21-13, 12-11, 21-17. Anderson-Bentley downed Hiscox-Chubb, Pi Beta Phi, 21-15, 16-13, 21-4.
Table Tennis Finals Will Be This Week
The teams of Tihen-Vickers,Gamma Phi Beta, and Anderson-Bentley, Alpha Delta Pi, won hard-fought matches in the semi-finals of the women's intramural table tennis doubles tournament last week. They will meet this week in the finals.
Illinois is one of the great and leading states of the nation. Its agriculture is important and varied; it mining industry is large and valuable; its financial, wholesale and manufacturing interests are immense and valuable.
ATO, Sig Ep Into Playoffs
A. T.O. "A" made it five in a row and Sig Ep "A" won its way into the playoff as the regular fraternity volleyball played to a close Monday.
The 16 fraternity "A" and "B" squads who are in the playoff begin play at 7 tonight. Drawings will be held at 2 p. m. today. The top two teams in the "A" league and the three highest ranking "B" clubs will compete i in the playoffs.
Sparked by Jack Eskridge the A T. O, f's finished undefeated in division play by whipping Delt Chi 15 to 9 and 15 to 10.
Sig Ep copped a special three-team playoff which was made necessary when the teams tied for second place. Sig Ep trounced the T. K. E.'s 15 to 7 and 15 to 9 and went ahead to knock off Alpha KappaLambda 15 to 8 and 15 to 11. Sparkplugs in the double victory were Harold Short and Herb Mesigh.

Youths Developing, But
Cubs Expected To Stay Out Of First Division
New York, April 6—(UP)—The slowly developing "youth program" for the Chicago Cubs probably won't keep them out o fthe second division this season.
The Cubs, long a proud National league dynasty, suddenly realized last year when they finished a sour sixth, that they weren't keeping pace with the rest of the pack in the development.
Even so, Gimm insists that he is going to take his chances with a few young players who may not be entirely ready for the big time, rather than try to make deals with other major league clubs to bolster the roster.
So general manager James Gallagher and field boss Charley Grimm launched a long range rebuilding job and thought it may produce a few acceptable rookies this year
However, Grimm is banking on holdover hurlers Hank Borowy, Bob Chipman, Doyle (Porky) Lade, Russ Meyer, Johnny Schmitz and Hank Wyse as the backbone of his staff this year. But he is hoping that such rookies as Don Carlsen, up from Tulaa; Bob Rush from DesMoines; and Cliff Chambers of Los Angeles also will come through. Chambers, if he can lick a chronic sore arm, may be the best of the lot with a 24 and 9 mark behind him at Los Angeles.
Grimm's infield is far from settled with only Eddie Waitkus at first base set to start the season. At second, aging Don Johnson and former Cleveland Indian keystone man Ray Mack are batting it out, while the erratic but occasionally brilliant Lennie Merullo at shortstop has competition from Dick Culler, who was obtained from the Braves, and from rookie Roy Smalley, up from Des Moines. Third base is wide open and it is possible "Peanuts" Lowrey may have to come in from the outfield to play it again.
Aise from young Cliff Aberson, who batted .279 in 47 games with
the club last season, the outfield is likely to be all-veteran and probably too old to compete with some of the younger units on other clubs.
