This letter came to the Daily Kansas sports desk Thursday: the Sports Editor:
"This news item may be of interest to sports fans. Mr. E. C. Quigley recently announced to two representatives of the Congress on Racial Equality, Bill Scheinman and Frank Stannard, that Dr. F. C. Allen has stated that Negroes may try out for the basketball team next fall on an equal basis with all new players reporting for the team. Sincerely, Frank Stannard."
Several inquiries have come to us lately on the subject of negro participation in the cage sport. The above letter should answer the question adequately.

Big Six golfers have been keeping the fairways hot recently with subpar rounds. Bill Jones, the number one man on the Jayhawker squad, shot a sparkling 66 Saturday to tie the amateur record for the Swope park course in Kansas City. Up at Ames, Bruce Firkins, a member of the Cyclone varsity, fired a 38-31--69 on the school course to set a new all-time low on his second nine holes.

The marathon tennis record for the season goes to Iowa State. The Cyclone doubles team of Gene Gildermaster and Bill Bishop had to go to 28 games before winning the first set against Bill Hershman and Dick Swanson of Drake in a match at Ames last week. The Iowa State duo won eventually by scores of 15-13, 6-3.

When Oklahoma defeated Iowa State, 13 to 9, in a baseball game at Ames, Friday. Sooner sports writers labeled the contest as the "most' game of the year" for the Norman nine. It took the most time to play, an even three hours. It contained the most hits with 23 bingles. The most runs were scored, 22 in all. When Sooner Jack Venable struck out pinchiter Gordon Winkel to end the game, it was almost too dark to play.
...
Plato Andros, Oklahoma's all-American football guard, broke the school record for the shot put in a dual meet with Oklahoma A. and M. Friday. The cowboys from Stillwater won the meet, 76 to 55, but Andros tossed the iron ball 50 feet 9 inches to better the previous mark of 49 feet, $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches set by Alfred Howell in 1932.
Two Sooners pulled upsets in the meet. Hobo Gilstrap, Oklahoma hurdler, outran Neil Armstrong, Cowboy star, by three yards in the 220-yard low hurdles. R. C. Slocum handed Paul Eafw of the Aggies a surprise defeat in the 2-mile run.
Baseball Team Plays Nebraska
The Jayhawker baseball team, resting in the Big Six cellar, will open a two-game series with fifth place Nebraska on the home diamond at 4 p.m. today. Coach Vic Bradford's nine has come out on the short end of the score in their last six contests. A double victory over the Cornhuskers would go a long way toward raising the conference standing of the Kansas队.
Coach Bradford is worried over the lack of hitting power his men have shown in recent games. Only one starter, first baseman Lou DeLuna, is batting over the 300 mark. He is currently hitting a .314 clip.
The batting order is in for revision before today's game. Second baseman Ed Wooloott, third baseman Harold May, and center fielder "Red" Hogan have all fallen below 200 and are due to fall in their batting positions. Dick Bertuzzi, hitting .296, and Verle Anderson, batting .284, are counted on to carry much of the Jayhawker offensive load.
Saturday's game will begin at 2 p.m.
I-M Playoffs In Afternoon

Watkins hall was victorious over Alpha Chi Omega by a 9 to 3 score. For Watkins Strowig and Bolas were outstanding. Strowig led run making by crossing the plate twice.
Office of the Superintendent, W. W. Stuart, Grants Union High School, Grants, New Mexico, Apr 9, 1945: "It is in my opinion one of the best programs out, in that it combines education and entertainment."
