Coach "Phog" Allen is working with a squad of 39 men in spring basketball practice this week. Dr. Allen brought back a sun tan from California that is the envy of everyone in the physical education department.
in afternoon practice sessions at Robinson gymnasium, free throws have become of major importance. The Jayhawkers had plenty of trouble at the free throw line during the past season.
Scrimmages conclude practice each day. Five minute contests are played between various combinations. In the scrimmage session Wednesday night, the teams were lined up in this manner:
White team-Jack Eskridge, Bob O'Brien, Bill Sapp, Wendell Clark and Harold England.
Red team-Jerry Waugh, Jack Winter, Paul Penner, T. A. Scott, and Claude Houchin.
The Red quintet ended on top after five minutes. The play was fast and exciting despite the temperature.

The 41st annual Interscolastic baseball tournament sponsored by the University of Oklahoma got under way in Norman Thursday.
Any high school in the state of Oklahoma is eligible to compete. Last year 84 teams entered, breaking all known records for number of wins. This year's game as the "biggest high school baseball tournament in the world."
The first game was scheduled for 9 a. m. Thursday, and would continue through Saturday. Eight diamonds are used in the tournament. In 1845, the class A chambers of Oklahoma City Capital Hill nine which trimmed Oklahoma City Classen, 8 to 4.
Last year's class B title went to Fairview Consolidated school which trounced Canute, 19 to 5. Major leae scouts keep close tab on the Norman diamond duals, and several big league stars got their start in the Oklahoma tournament which began in 1907.
Among them are Carl Hubbell, one of the greatest southpaw pitchers of modern times; Harry "The Cat" Breechen, hero of last year's world series; and the two Waner brothers, Paul and Lloyd.
This tournament is probably one excellent reason why the Sooner institution turns out baseball teams for the Big Six championship.
It has long been recognized that one of the greatest sources of strength for college athletics is a strong high school program. If the high school athletics are well-trained before entering college, the job of coaching is half done.

Few Records In Danger At Jayhawk, K-State Meet
Few records will be in danger when Kansas meets Kansas State at 1 p.m. here tomorrow, but the competition for points is expected to be one of the tightest of the Big Six dual track season.
With Kansas long on strength in the middle distance and distance runs, and Kansas State certain to dominate the weight events with Rollin Prather, a wide open battle in at least seven events is expected for Relays crown last week and the deciding tallies.
The only standard in danger will be the 120-yard high hurdles, the high jump, the broad jump, and the discus. There is no certainty that any of these will fall, however.
The hurdle mark is: 14.9 and is held jointly by Hotchkiss and Ed Darden of Kansas State. K. U's Norman Sammanen set the current record of 6 feet and 6 inches in the high jump in 1941. The broad jump standard reads at 23 feet 9 inches and the discus is 145 feet and 7 inches.
Ex-high School Champ
The hurdle event will involve Kansas State's Joe Thornton, former state high school champion from Winfield, and Frank Stannard, Jayhawk high barrier ace who reached the finals in both the Kansas and Texas Relays, although failing to place in either meet. Thornton was second in the Colorado Indoor Relays low hurdles and last week bagged the high hurdles title at the same school's outdoor relays in :15.2. The Wildcats Rodney McClay who ran third in the Big Six 60-yard low hurdles field also must be considered.
The broad jump will bring together Kansas' Bob Crowley, Texas Relays champion, and Harold Kiser of the Aggies. Crowley jumped 23 feet 6 inches to win at Texas and followed that with a third in the Kansas Relays at 23 feet and $4_{1/2}$ inches. Kiser set a new school record this year at Manhattan with a jump of 23 feet and $4_{1/2}$ inches.
Prather, Kansas State's freshman giant is a strong favorite to take both the shop put and the discus His best mark in the latter event is eight feet beyond the current record and he consistently throws to the 150 footline. His best shot put of 51 feet $ \frac{3}{4} $ inches is far short of Elmer Hackney's 55 feet 11-inch toss against Kansas in 1939, but is far ahead of the best Kansas can offer.
Sc field Favored
After a slow start because of an injury, the Jayhawk's Tom Scofield once again is beginning to climb to the 6 feet 6-inch mark in the high jump. He turned in his best performance of the season—6 feet $5^{\prime \prime}$ inches—to tie for the Drake
'Happy' Is Silent On MacPhail Talk
Cincinnati—(UP)—Baseball Commissioner Albert Chandler, who found no lulls in a six-and-a-half-hour conference with New York Yankee President Larry MacPhail Thursday, had bad news for them today, and MacPhail said all news would have to come from Chandler.
Presumably Chandler called Mac-Phaill on charges of "insubordination" because Larry talked freely and bitterly of the Commissioner's decisions in the Lee Durocher case and he said that he would with the case to make no comments;
Walter Mulry, Chandler's secretary and spokesman, said that there was "no story," and that there probably would be no further Mac-Phail-Chandler sessions on this particular but unnamed subject.
Relays crown last week, and could conceivably crack Sanneman's record.
