Look For Aggressive Wendell Clark In Middle Of Any Basketball Pile-up
"If there's a pile-up, Clark will be in the middle of it."
This phrase describes the aggressive, hustling play of Wendell Clark, rany Jayhawker guard, who has brought much of the fire and drive typical of Big nine basketball into the midlands. A rebounder second only to Black, he was an important cog in last year's championship team. Standing $6' 1", he packs much of his 175 pounds in his legs which helps account for his tremendous spring.
Clark was a three year regular and high scorer on his high school team in Victoria, III. before enrolling at the University of Illinois. He was a member of the Illini freshman team when the "Whiz Kids" were at their peak.
Dancing and collecting records are among his favorite hobbies. He is also a rabbit St. Louis Cardinal fan. He is a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and is unmarried. His favorite food is steak.
After the outbreak of the war, he enlisted in the navy and spent eighteen months active duty before entering the V-12 program at Denison University, Granville, Ohio. There he continued his basketball career by being named on the all-Ohio team along with such stars as all-Americans Wyndol Gray and Don Otten of Bowling Green and Fritz Nagey of Akron.

After three semesters at Denison, he was transferred to K.U. in the summer of 1945. Majoring in industrial management, Clark plans to graduate in the spring of 1948, leaving him one more year of eligibility.
Wendy's athletic prowess is not confined to the basketball court as he is an excellent hurdler. He placed second in the high and third in the low hurdles in the all-Ohio track meet in 1945.
Army Stars Make Movie On Own Time
New York—(UP)—Sources close to the war department have said that there was nothing inconsistent in the army allowing Glenn Davis and Felix Blanchard to make a movie while denying the football stars the right to play professionally.
Blanchard and Davis had requested special furloughs to play pro football and these were denied. Permission was given for the Hollywood movie-making, but the time already was coming to the two men.
It was explained that the movie-making will be done in the cadets' usual 60-day summer furlough, while the pro playing would consume four months during a time when other second lieutenants are back in active service.

Preliminary examinations will be given March 17 in seven Kansas cities: Beloit, Colby, Dodge City, Lawrence, Parsons, Salina, and Wichita. Highest 25 to 35 men in the preliminaries will take final examinations at Lawrence, April 9 and 10.
Two hundred thirty-seven high school senior men have been selected to take the Summerfield scholarship examinations by 116 Kansas high schools.
237 To Try For Summerfield Awards
From 15 to 18 scholarships finally will be awarded, depending upon the capabilities of the applicants.
Amount of each allotment is determined by the personal and family resources of the individual scholar.
Solon E. Summerfield, New York alumnus, class of 1899, gives $20,000 to the scholarships each year. All motures received by scholars cover necessary educational and living costs for a four year period if a high academic standard is maintained.
"Say something interesting," advised Mrs. Allen Crafton, of the speech and drama department, "if you are a college woman interested in keeping a young man coming back for dates."
Formula To Trap Man Say Something Sharp'
Mrs. Crafton pointed out to college women in Frank Strong auditorium, Thursday, that many of the men have been around the world, and they like to refresh their memories.
"Don't stop them cold by not being a good listener." she said.
"Young people are always underestimating each other in conversation. That takes the appeal out of their association," said Mrs. Crafton.
Speech is something every person ought to try to improve every day, whether talking to a group of cultured high brows or just plain informal conversation.
The fields of speech may be divided into two general classes, visable and audible. Poise and posture are the essentials for the former. This lends to eye appeal. Pleasing pitch and good enunciation are necessities to good listening.
Prof. Ralph W. Clark, of the School of Pharmacy, addressed the Kappa Psi fraternity Saturday at a dinner and informal meeting in the Lincoln hotel, Lincoln, Nebr. The University of Nebraska College of Pharmacy sponsored the meeting.

Phi Gam's, Delta Chi Sigma Chi Defeated
Phi Gamma Delta, Delta Chi, and Sigma Chi were dropped from the ranks of the undefeated in intramural basketball games played over the weekend.
Kappa Sigma handed the Phi Gams their first loss, 35 to 23. Scoring for the winners was well distributed, six men making 5 points or more.
Sigma Phi Epsilon edged past Sigma Chi in a hard-fought 30 to 30 contest. Carson of the Sig Eps and French of the Sigma Chis both hit the nets for 12 counters.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon took the measure of the Delta Chi five, 31 to 20. Thompson of the SAE's looped in 16 points to account for over half the team total.
High scoring honors for the weekend went to the Frat Busters for their 56 to 19 conquest of the Wicked Seven. Briley of the victors scored 22 points, enough to have won the game singlehanded.
Other results: Sigma Nu defeated Phi Kappa Psi, 33 to 29; Mom's Boys handed Battenfeld a 33 to 13 loss; Pharmacists edged past the 1934 club. 36 to 15; Wolks outscored Alpha Phi Alpha, 36 to 15; Sigma Chi won from Alpha Tau Omega, 31 to 21; and 1126 club gained a forfeit victory from the Live Five.
Collier Runs Around
Cape Elizabeth, Maine. (UP)—The 5,284-toller oakley Lake L. Alexander ran aground and split in half on the beach in a wild northeast storm early today and the coast guard rescued 30 men of the crew.
Cars On Wild Slide While Drivers Gone
An Oldsmobile sedan and a Ford coupe, nudged by a third vehicle, raced driverless for 75 feet down slippery 13th street hill Friday afternoon.
The Ford hooked a wheel over the curbing, halted the plunging Oldsmobile, and the wild slide was stopped near the Louisiana intersection without benefit of driver.
Damage Edward C. Beal, engineering junior, accidentally started this action when his car, unable to make forward movement up the hill, slid backward into the unoccupied Oldsmobile. The Oldsmobile in turn tagged the Ford, and they were off.
Damage-one Ford fender.
K.U. Takes Third In Big Six Meet
The University track team placed third, behind Missouri and Nebraska, in the 19th annual Bix Six indoor track and field meet Saturday night in the Kansas City Municipal auditorium.
The Jayhawkers scored $27_{1/2}$ points for third place. Missouri rolled up $55_{1/2}$ for first place, and Nebraska 46 for second. Trailing the top three were Oklahoma $25_{1/2}$, Kansas State 18 5/6, and Iowa State 6 5-6.
Missouri won the meet by easily outdistancing co-favored Nebraska. The Tigers placed first in the first four events to run up a lead that was never threatened.
Meet records fell in the 60-yard high hurdles, the mile run, and the high jump. Bob Ginn, Nebraska's middle distance runner, broke the mile record with a time of 4:19.7 and Bob Blakeley of Missouri set a new mark of 7.5 seconds in the 60-yard high hurdles. Bill Lambeth, Oklahoma's tall, lean, high jumper, sailed over the bar at 6 feet 5 inches for a new record in that event.
John Jackson won the 440-yard run, one of the most closely contested events of the meet.
Bob Karnes, Kansas two miler, placed first in his event to come home in front of Oklahoma's Clarence Vicklund, Lonnie Chapman, and John Canaris.
Harold Moore placed second in the mile for K.U., and Robert Crowley jumped 22 feet, 63-4 inches to take second for the Jayhawks in the broad jump.
