WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8; 1947
By JIM RAGLIN Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Track coach Bill Easton wants all students who have had some track experience to come out for fall track. Genial Bill has a large squad working out every day and recently had a time trial for the cross-country event. Karner led way and was clocked 18 minutes 58 seconds. Following Karnes were Bob Morris, Junior Haverty, and Bob Diefendorf.

"I would like to have all students especially those who have lettered in high school track come out for the University team. We need some hurdlers, broad jumpers, pole vaulters, and shot putters," Easton said.
Coach Easton is especially pleased with the running of Cliff Able. Last year Able won the state class "B" mile running for Perry high school, but he lost to the varsity team this year due to the recently reactivated freshmen ruling.
At half time this Saturday the fans will get a chance to watch the Kansas cross country team in action. Long winded thinclads will meet Miss Jade cinder stars. The race will be run on the track inside the stadium.

Dave Weatherby, Kansas State basketball ace, must be a true "wheel" on the Manhattan campus. Lanky Dave is student representative on the Aggie athletic council, treasurer of an honorary organization for Senior men, and president of the letterman's club.
Many fans at the Iowa State game were wondering who the men in wheel chairs were. They were members of the 100 veterans the athletic department had as their guests for the game. The men came from Wadsworth Veterans hospital for the game. Twenty were confined to wheelchairs.
If Kansas State follows its recent travel pattern they will take a squad of 37 men to Boston for their Friday punishment. Significant thing about the traveling squad is that 27 are sophomores, five are juniors and there are only six seniors.
Tom Scott is off on the right foot in the Big Six punting race. Scott sent the ball 72-yards on his surprise quick kick against Iowa State.
Last season South Dakota State came about as close to an evenstephen record as possible. The Jackrabbits won three, lost three, and tied two. They ran up 61 points while whitewashing Manitoba university. The worst defeat suffered by the Brookings eleven was a 35 to 0 pasting administered by a crack Oklahoma City university team.
Jayhawker Injuries Mount; Monroe, Baker Sidelined
The Jayhawkers will have a heavy injury list when they meet South Dakota State university Saturday afternoon in Memorial stadium.
Definitely out of action for the game will be Dick Monroe and Bob Drumm, centers, and Hoyt Baker, fullback.
Monroe has a bruised knee, Drumm has a kidney ailment, and Baker's knee, though out of its cast, will not he in shape.
Leroy Robison, right halfback, is off the list and back in action.
The Tuesday afternoon scrimmage was spent reviewing the defense against Dakota State plays, featuring a single wing back, strong to right.
"The heavy work is over for this week," said Coach George Sauer. "We're going to polish our plays and get the offense working more smoothly."
"South Dakota was the underdog last weekend, but won 39 to 6. Somebody was a little off the beam when they made them the underdogs. South Dakota is a very good small college team.
Saturday Game Unsatisfactory
Ed Lee, Steve Renko, and Dick Tomlinson looked good on defense during the Tuesday workout. Terry Monroe's ankle is evidently healed and his play was smooth. Bud French, Tom Scott, Forrest Griffith, and Charlie Moffett looked capable in the ball-carrying department.
"As for last Saturday, I was pleased to get by Iowa State, but far from satisfied," he said.
Vets Must Report Training Changes
Coach Sauer has Ed Bray, Ralph Brown, and Bob Kline to fill up the vacancy left by Monroe and Drumm at center.
A veteran, who interrupts his training at a time other than at the end of a term or semester, will not receive a supplemental certificate of eligibility and entitlement until he gives satisfactory evidence that:
1. His interruption resulted from good cause, such as illness, economic conditions, or other conditions beyond his control.
Veterans making frequent changes of jobs or school training before completion of courses will have to work with more strict requirements.
2. The institution in which he was in training is willing to accept him as a student or trainee.
The high school boys who sold the sun visors at the game made from $6 to $9 for a couple of hours of work, added Mrs. Nesmith.
Dr. E. R. Elbel, director Veterans bureau, emphasized that veterans making changes should apply for supplemental certificates as early as possible.
Thar's Gold In Them Thar Sun Visors
"We were worried about rain before the game because of the ordeal of getting them ready in time, but, despite this worry we plan to have them on hand for the remaining games," she said.
The gun popped, the "Duel in the Sun" began, and the crowds roared in comfort—they wore sun visors.
The thousands of fans at the Kansas-Iowa State football game who had a sun visor for protection paid Mrs. Dean Nesmith, wife of the assis coach, 20 cents apiece for them.
"Dean thought of something for the sunny east side for years," Mrs. Nesmith said. "We both talked about it until two weeks before the game, then we decided. We thought of the visors because we believed they were badly needed."
"We ordered 10,000 of the visors, after I had decided on the design and we worked so hard every afternoon and night for a week before the game to get the rubber bands fastened."
Little do the 3,500 fans who wore the visors at the game realize all the wrong things.
When the game started 6,800 visors were ready.
Spur Club To Ride In American Royal
Ten horsemen dressed in K. U. colors will ride and a chuck wagon, carrying members will be drawn by a team of horses.
The University Spur club will ride in the American Royal, Oct. 18 in Kansas City.
This year's officers are John Atkerton, president; Harriet Waddel, vice-president; Mary Garton, secretary-treasurer; Janet Belt, publicity chairman; and Betty Boling, social chairman.
New York—(UP) —With Larry MacPhail officially out of baseball Dapper Dan Topping of the world champion N. Y. Yankees and genial George Weiss took over as the baseball club's general manager.
Topping Is Named Yankee President
Announcement of the new appointments were made last night by Topping and his co-owner, Del Webb, at the same time that they accepted MacPhail's written resignation. The two magnates also revealed that they had pursued the job in MacPhail's interest in the Yankees, the volatile ex-boss receiving an estimated $2,000,000 for his holdings.
Topping steered clear of questions as to the part, if any, that baseball commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chan played in MacPhail's resignation.
Other officers of the club remained unchanged, and Topping emphasized that Bucky manager would once again be the field manager in 1948.
He did, however, admit that "it may have been in the back of our minds to buy out his contract if he had not resigned."
The next meeting will be held Tuesday.
"I know nothing about that," said the new president.
The farm value of horses and nules averaged $53.48 per head in 1933, as compared with an average value of $65.00 in 1944.
Topping, who joined with MacPhail and Webb to buy the Yankees from the estate of the late Col. Jacob Ruppert in 1945, said that the agreement for MacPhail to sell his stock to the other two men was made a few weeks ago at the time that a banking concern made a $3,000,000 offer for a half-interest, an offer that was rejected.
BSA Will Revive The J-Hawk News
Curvin Green, president of the Business School association, announced the J-Hawk News, School of business paper, would be published this year by the B. S. A.
The paper was abandoned during the war years after it had been printed for more than 15 years. Before its termination, the paper had been printed once a year. Officers of the B. S. A. stated they hoped to turn the annual into a quarterly or semi-annual publication.
Coach George Sauer announced today that he intends to start his number 2 team against South Dakota State.
Sauer To Start Number 2 Team
"We don't call these men re-
team," Sauer said.
The possible starting lineup against the Jackrabbits includes Schmidt and B. Sperry at ends; Lee and Renko, tackles; K. Sperry and Tomlinson, guards; Bray, center; Gohan, quarterback; Scott and French, halfbacks; and Griffith, fullback.
PT Club Sees Film On Therapist Work
"Accent on Use," a film put out by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was shown at the Physical Therapy club Tuesday night.
The picture showed the physical
difinition and general hospital work
Miss Glorene Titus, assistant technical director at the University Medical center in Kansas City, will lead a discussion on the training program in physical therapy at the next meeting. Nov. 4.
A picnic, to be held Oct. 24. is being planned by a social committee, headed by Jean Newcom, College junior.
Clara Barton, first president of the American Red Cross society, held that position from 1881 to 1904.
