Three Missouri university football players of last year will be donning pads in professional ranks next season. Coach Cecil Isbell of the Baltimore pro team in the All-America league signed Jim Darr and Dick Keller to contracts. John Reginato will play for the San Francisco 49ers, also in the All-America conference.

The Tigers from Columbia claim to have developed the best tennis doubles team in the conference. Maybe Jayhawk coach Gordon Sabine can offer some racquet men who will disprove that claim. Last year's Missouri number one doubles team of Don Johnson and Rip Manning has been losing in practice to Don Block and Carl Meyer. Since Johnson and Manning are currently ranked one and two in Tiger singles play, the doubles pair of Block and Meyer does appear potent. But Richards and Miller, and Busiek and Barnes of the Kansas squad are conceding nothing in the way of doubles play to the Missouri netmen.

Before the weekend games with the Kansas baseball team, Rudy Rufer, Oklahoma left fielder from New York, was leading Sooner regulars in batting with an average of .379. Considering all players who have batted one or more times, the hitting leader was technically Dennis Shogren, lanky pinch hitter from Assaria, Kan.
***
Friday's contest with the Oklahoma Sooners was a tough game for coach Vic Bradford's baseball nine to drop. The Jayhawkers started out with a rush, scoring four times in the first two innings.
In the opening inning, Jack Venable walked Verl Anderson, Kansas leadoff man. Second baseman Harold May singled to right field. Lou De Luna, first sacker, popped out, but "Red" Hogan singled to left field. David Coffman off out. Ed Wolcott drove a safety into left field, scoring Anderson and May. Hogan came home on an error by the Sooner third baseman.
The Kansans added one more run in the second when Anderson was again walked by Venable, this time scoring on a double by May. This was the last tally for the Jayhawkers as Venable settled down to throttle the Kansans with six scattered hits the rest of the way.
Second baseman Jimmy Mitchell of the Sooners had a perfect day at bat with two singles and three walks in one game, and drove in three runs, and scored twice.
The big inning for the Norman nine was the third when three runs crossed the plate. The big blow of that rally was a double by Mace Avant with the bases loaded. Pitcher Dick Gilman had trouble with his control and fielding in the inning and was responsible for the bases being filled when Avant smashed out his hit. Gilman walked two men and committed one error to load the sacks.
They Beat The Bell By Flying To School
Atlanta, Ga.—(UP)—In the muddy heart of Cobb county, Ga., are two youngsters who are never late to school regardless of the condition of rutted, deep-mudded roads. They are Gordon Lunsford, Jr., 9, and his brother Richard, 6. They fly to school.
Every morning, their mother, Mrs Sarah Lunsford, bundles them into the family's small yellow plane and ferries them over the ridge to school, five miles away. Each afternoon she lets down on the field beside the school yard and picks up her passengers for the flight home.
End Bubble Gum Shortage
Chicago—(UP)—A shipment of 5,000,000 pieces of bubble gum from Mexico has broken up street corner trading here by juvenile users of the scarce item. Imported by a Chicago firm, the gum was reported to stretch to satisfactory ballon-size measures.
Phi Delt's, Sigma Chi's Reach Volleyball Finals
Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi advanced to the finals of the intramural volleyball championship Montay. The Phi Deits defeated Alpha Tau Omega two games, 15-6 and 15-9, while the Sigma Chi six took Beta Theta Pi 8-15, 15-11, and 15-8.
The Phi Delts spotted the ATO's an early three point lead in both games, but were not pressed in scoring their wins. In the first game Evans and
Harris scored consistently on spikes. Eskridge, who played an excellent role in the ATW, kept his team in the running for the first few minutes of both games, but the Phil DeLts used smooth team play to come out on top.
Beta's Take First Game
Sigma Chi spotted the Betas the first game in their three game thriller, 15-8, but came back strong to win the next two 15-11 and 15-8. In the first game Jones, Waugh, and Malott outspiked the Sigma Chi team and the Betas won handily, but it was too early to conclude but the Betas ran their score to 15 while the Sigma Chi's could score but once.
In the second game the Sigma Chi team stopped several Beta threats by excellent team play and won 15-1. Sigma Chi posted an early 5-1 advantage, but had to come from behind to win the game. Trailing 9-11, the winners gained possession of the ball and tied the game 11-11. The serve was exchanged five times before the Sigma Chi's scored four straight points to take the game.
Finals To Be Tonight
In the final and decisive game, the Sigma Chi's took charge with the score tied 5-5 and built a 10-5 advantage before losing possession of the ball. Beta came back strong and closed the gap to 10-8. Stratton spiked hard and Sigma Chi took the next five points and the game, 15-8. The finals will be held in Robinson gymnasium tonight, at 8 p.m.
Starting lineups for Monday's games were:
ATO- Millikan, Eskridge, Laira,
Case, Mazon. Clark.
Phi Delta Theta—Evans, Harris,
Auten, Scott, Dunn, Churchill.
Sigma Chi - Stratton, Kanas, Peck,

High scoring predominated intramural softball games played Monday. The Fly-by-Nights defeated Oread Hall 12-10, Kappa Sigma took Phi Gamma Delta 4-2, Delta Upsilon won from Wesley 13-10, Beta Theta PI planked Kappa Eta 15-0, Kappa Alpha Psi outlasted YMCA 16-13 and Sigma Phi Epsilon won from Mom's Boys by a forfeit.
Softball Games Show Big Scores
Kappa Sigma remained undefeated by defeating Phi Gamma Delta. The Kappa Sigs scored all their runs in the first two innings and cut short a Phi Gam rally in the sixth to keep their slate clean.
Kappa Alpha Psi measured YMCA in the late innings 16-13. Tillman hit a homer for the winners to give his team a lead which was never lost.
The DU's did not have much trouble in winning over Wesley, but did have an early 10 run-lead closed considerably before the game ended. Armel got three hits for Delta Upsilon.
Bill Conboy, Beta pitcher, turned in a one-hit game for his team against the Kappa Etas. Nelson hit a home run for the Betas in the fourth inning.
Oread Hall tried hard, but could not overcome the early lead of the Fly-by-Nights and lost 12-10. The Fly-by-Nights made 10 hits good for their 12 runs.
Mudhole Fisher Lands Marlin
A new frosted food concern in Boston features a roast turkey dinner which can be prepared and served in less than 10 minutes.
These unpredictable Kansans! At least that is the opinion of several Floridians who watched plainsman Ben Hibbs, '24, as he pulled in a 78-pound white marlin recently.
National president Mrs. Norton H. Pearl of the American Legion Auxiliary says the girls will be acquaint- ing functions during the conference.
Though far from a record-breaker the 78-pound fish automatically entered Hibbs in the $15,000 Miami fishing contest.
Phil Wylie, author of many deep-sea tales, had politely, though not insistently, invited Mr. Hibbs, editor of the Saturday Evening Post, down to Florida where, as Wylie put it, "you can catch some real fish." No one
was more surprised than Wylie when he learned that Hibbs, a Kansas "cane pole and mudhole" fisherman, was on his way to tackle the Gulf monsters.
Indianapolis—(UP) — The American Legion Auxiliary is planning a "Girls' Nation" conference in Washington. D.C. this summer.
It was too late to back out, so author Wylie hired the boat and, explaining to the Post's editor that the fish hadn't been biting very well, shoved-off on what he thought would be his last afternoon as a writer for the Post.
Then the marlin struck. For an hour and five minutes Editor Hibbs, the dry-land sportsman, whose knowledge of fish ended with channel cats, played the marlin as Wylie coached. It was a tired editor that finally hoisted the marlin aboard.
Girls' Nation' To Operate Mythical State
Incidentally, author Wylie is still selling fish stories to Editor Hibbs.
Things brightened considerably when a sailfish struck Hibb's line, even though it broke away, almost immediately.
"Girl's Nation" follows the annual "Girl's State" pattern.
Philadelphia—(UF)—Dr. Wallace L. Davidson dropped the working part of his fountain from a twelfth floor window in Hahne-mann hospital, but the cap remained in his pocket.
Five months later, an unidentified man was brought to the hospital. Dr. Davidson searched the pocket's cards for identification, and found the missing part of the pen complete with his initials.

Dempsey Suggests Louis Fight Elimination Bouts
1021 Mass. St.
New York—(UP)—To obtain a logical September challenger and to stimulate interest in boxing, Jack Dempsey suggested today that Joe Louis stage his own elimination "tournament" by boxing four rounds with each prominent contender.
"This would be a very novel elimination," Dempsey admitted, "But the heavyweight division is confronted right now with a problem that apparently can be solved satisfactorily in no other way."
Males Stage Revolt Against Bedroom Frills
Los Angeles.—(UP)—Five ceramists here are staging a male revolt against over-feminized bedrooms.
Part of their campaign is to turn out "he-man" lamps to replace the fussy, kind with which they women have flooded the American home.
"Men want mathematical lamps with straight, balanced lines and perfect simplicity." Casey Roberts, who organized the Roban Guild Potters for his four World War II veterans associate, said.
"We've found out that many marriages have gone on the rocks because husbands are too embarrassed to relax in a bedroom which looks like a ladies' powder room."
Official G.I. Language Confuses Cop's Report
Cleveland —(UP)— Patrolman Thomas McGuire of the Cleveland police department investigated a bus explosion. A former U. S. army air forces captain, McGuire turned in this report.
"In obvious mechanical difficulty, some portion of the mechanical linkage or motive power malfunctioned to the extent of self-destruction, creating a local flak area at approximately the rear door of the bus."
In non-technical language, the fly wheel of the bus burst and scattered through the floor boards like "flak."
McGuire picked up his official GI language during his five-and-one-half years in the Army Air Forces.
A single codfish will lay up to 10,000,000 eggs a season. If fish didn't eat one another and man didn't catch them, the ocean wouldn't be big enough to hold all of them, according to experts of the Atlantic Fisheries company.
