UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
MARCH 25,1947
By BILL CONBOY
The two basketball games to be played in Hoch auditorium Wednesday night should provide a fit climax to the unpredictable Jayhawker cage season.
Henry Shenk, player-coach of the Faculty Flashes, will send his charges onto the court as underdogs against the K. U. Varsity, but he hints of "a secret weapon which will bewilder the regulars." Shenk's only worry is that his own team may be even more bewildered by just being on the court.
The varsity, coached by Howard Engleman, is confident of victory, but is somewhat worried about what may happen to their grades if the faculty should harbor a desire for revenge after the contest.
The second clash of the night, between the 1947 Intramural All-Stars and the K-Club, should produce some really excellent basketball. The intramural players are the cream of a crop of outstanding players who in other years might have been members of the varsity. Many fine players simply did not go out for the varsity this year because too many stars were returning from other years.
The K-Club team, directed by Charley Moffett, will put a team of former lettermen on the court. This contest should be close and hard-fought all the way.

Thumb-nail sketches of some members of the Faculty Flashes:
Prof. Calvin VanderWerf—played high school basketball for Holland, Mich. team in 1932 (the Holland team won the state championship in 1946 if that is any omen for the Flashes).
Henry Shenk—competed for Pittsburgh High school in 1924—played freshman basketball at K. U. under John Bunn—last played against the V-12 team on the Hill, leaving the game with a broken toe.
Raymond Nichols—two years experience in high school at Larned, Kansas (but didn't win a letter!)—when interviewed, he said he "had been considered the best stationary guard in the country"—bench warmer, that is.
Prof. Edward Robinson—absolutely no basketball experience—"not even in kindergarten"—(Could this be the secret weapon?)
Rev. Dr. Edwin F. Price—no basketball experience, but he "has played a little volleyball."
Dcan George B. Smith—coached basketball four years at Woodstock Illinois—played independent ball in Minneapolis—received high school basketball experience at University High school, Minneapolis.
Fred Montgomery--coached Mc-Pherson High school class teams in 1926--last played the game in grade school.
Budget cuts and the large number of army personnel remaining in Germany as civilians have greatly reduced the opportunities for War department employees in that country. Miss Marjorie Erickson, alumna, told the German club recently. Miss Ericsson recently returned from Berlin where she had been a civilian employee in the war department's export-import office.
German Jobs Reduced Alumna Tells Club
The department of agriculture which maintains a large foreign branch, offers the greatest opportunity for overseas employees, she said.
"It is easy to get into the Russian zone," she said, "but not so easy to get back out."
She said that the zonin; system in Berlin makes transportation difficult.
Miss Ericsson also said that the mark had been stabilized in only a few isolated places.

Tonight's Game Ends Basketball Season
New York—(UP)—Holy Cross and Oklahoma, so evenly matched that even the experts can't choose a favorite, meet tonight for the N. C. A. a basketball championship at Madison Square Garden, ending the college season.
Only chance for extension of the season would be a game between tonight's winner and invitation champion Utah, but no such match has been announced, and Thursday is the only available night in the garden.
Holy Cross, Eastern regional champion, has won 26 games and lost three — to Wyoming, North Carolina State and Duquesne. Oklahoma has won 24 and lost six. Its two victories in the Western NCAA regional were by the closest of margins, two points over Oregon State and one point over Texas. Holy Cross had an easier time ousting Navy and City College.
Eighty students have enrolled in the six-week course that meets every Wednesday night at Manhattan. The course is being conducted by the University of Kansas Extension division, and has been offered with similar success in Toneka.
The University's traveling "see-retailal training" course has proved to be popular with students at Kansas State and to President Milton Eisenhower's secretary, who is one of the enrollees.

Among the instructors is T. M Hutsell, who has instructed more than 1000 secretaries in similar classes during the past year.
An Air of Atmosphere
Honolulu, T.H. (UP)—United Airlines will employ girls of Hawaiian descent as "second stewardesses" on all planes flying the new Honolulu-San Francisco route.
Underdog Utah Floors Kentucky, 49-45
New York.—(UP)—Utah's wonderful "blitz boys" finally improved on the age-old Cinderella story today—for they came up with a clock that refused to strike 12.
It was time for the Utes to check in that golden slipper but they liked it so well they stuck around past "midnight" and came up with the greatest of all their great basketball upsets.
They won the game the experts said they couldn't win. They beat mighty Kentucky 49 to 45.
The kid that stole the show was Wat Misaka, the Japanese kid who improved on the invention of the dynamo.
For while dynamos occasionally stop from overwork, little Wat supplied both the watts and volts to keep Utah humming. He was a defensive zealot who not only held Kentucky's top star Ralph Beard, scoreless from the floor, but doubled to block lanky Ken Rollins' path to the basket and held him to two very inconsequential field goals.
Utah, an 11 1-2 point underdog in the betting, kept intact its tournament record of never going into the game as a favorite.
