UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
OCTOBER 7,1946
BY BILL SIMS
(Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
It may seem strange to bring up basketball during the football season, but it seems to me that something needs to be done to alleviate the severe shortage of seating space which has arisen with the increased enrollment in the University.
Nothing could be done to help more persons see the games this year, but I believe plans should be made now for next year and the years to come. The system which will be used this year is the fairest plan which could be decided upon in the short time that was available.
Students will have first choice at tickets and will get to see four home games on their activity ticket plus a small additional fee. The schedule will be split up so that fans will get to see an equal portion of good games. This plan was necessitated because Hoch auditorium's maximum capacity for a basketball game is about 4200, and there are almost 9000 students enrolled.
Some of these students probably won't want to attend the cage games, but a large majority will. This will mean, if the athletic office holds to its decision to let students have tickets first, that few alumni and townpeople will get to see the games. That's the way it should be, but they won't be very happy because they have to miss watching what should be one of the finest Kansas cage teams in history ir action.
We need a fieldhouse that will take care of all the fans who usually would attend the Jayhawker home games.
"Anything that would seat less than 14,000 would be too small," Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, Kansas' famous cage mentor, has said.
The legislature probably will appropriate some money for a Jayhawker fieldhouse, but when? In three, four or maybe 10 years. That won't help the present situation. Kansas State has been allotted 750 thousand dollars for a new unit to replace the too small fieldhouse they now have. They needed it, but so do we.
I believe that the Jayhawkers could attract at least 10,000 fans to home games this year. "Phog" should have one of the best teams of his colorful coaching career. All of the veterans from last year's undefeated Big Six champions are back, and several lettermen from former years have returned. Besides this impressive aggregation, a group of fine players enrolled at Kansas for the first time this fall.
The Jayhawkers always have a good team. The athletic department could make enough money to help pay for a large field house. I believe. E. C. Quigley, the athletic director, has done a wonderful job in lowering the debt on the stadium the past two years. I don't believe it would take as long to raise funds to pay for a field house.
Several universities are planning field houses this year, but one of the best solutions, it seems to me, was the one reached by Dana X. Bible at Texas. He plans to buy a large airplane hangar from the government surplus property commission and have it erected on the Longhorn campus at an estimated cost of 500 thousand dollars. It will seat between 10 and 15 thousand.
A Jayhawker field house wouldn't have to be a beautiful building. It would be nicer, of course, but it would take a couple of years to complete it. A hangar could be completed in time for next year's season.
Perhaps the students don't want a field house. I'd like to find out. Write me a card or letter and tell me your opinion. Perhaps something could be done about this, and the sooner it is started the sooner it will be finished.
Books kept on ordinary book shelves and exposed to free air will keep much better than those in book cases with closed doors.
It's A Little Cheroot For The Vic Bradfords
William Bennett Bradford, triplethreat K. U. back for the team of 1966, weighed in at seven pounds Wednesday, when he arrived at the Lawrence Memorial hospital, the son of Coach and Mrs. "Vic" Bradford, of the University football staff.
"Wild Bill," as his cigar-smoking father already has nicknamed him, is the Bradford's second child.
Why Not Teach Williams To Bunt Dizzy Queries
Bv DIZZY DEAN
St. Louis.—Well, them Cardinals let me down after I persecuted they would win the first game of this world series.
And I'll tell you how them Red Sox done it. While confusion was raisin supreme, up stepped Rudy York in the 10th with two out.
Well, I was tryin all afternoon to yell down to Pitcher Howie Pollet of the Cards from the press box not to give him guy anything inside shoulder high.
As you know, Rudy didn't do nothing a-tall in his first four time up. Either he didn't hear me shoutin my advice, or something. Anhow in come a high-one, jest where o'l Rudy liked her. And brother, he whacked her.
The Cards added somethin new to there defense in the business of hanlin that Ted Williams, and durned if I ever seen anything like it.
They completely re-juggered their infield around ever time he come to bat. They left Marty Marion, the Mr. Everstop, where he belonged at short. Then they moved Whiteky Kurowski over from third to wherever the second baseman orta have been and then they moved Second Baseman Red Schoendienst to Whiteky's left.
Well, they really hog-tied that there slugger. He only got himself one hit all afternoon. But here's where I think the Red Sox wasn't too smart.
With the whole left side of the infield open like the ol' barn door, why in the name of thunder didn't they git Ted to try and bunt? A slow roller down the third base line would have been good for a couple of bases since they wasn't nobody around there to cover. The left-fielder even was in the wrong pasture.
Ted's a nice kid, but if I had a hitter like that and they played him like the Cards did, I be durned if I wouldn't learn him to bunt if I had to have him out there before breakfast every morning for a month.
Well, the Red Sox won the first one 3 to 2 by the skin of their hide but today's another day. I hope.

Army Faces Break In Streak In Saturday's Game In Michigan
New York. (UP)—Spread out behind Coach Dana Bible's Texas Tornado, all the well-heeled sectional football favorites rolled along among the undefeated today but the inevitable showdown was approaching for Army and Michigan.
They'll clash at Ann Arbor, Mich. Saturday and Army's precious winning streak, now 21 games, is in critical danger for the first time in three years
Scoring heavily in the statistics if not on the scoreboard, Michigan won its second straight game by defeating Iowa, 14 to 7, while Army was lacing Cornell. 46 to 21.
Alabama had a tight squeeze with South Carolina, 14 to 6, and Notre Dame's running attack was unimpressive as Johnny Lujack passed the Irish to a 33 to 0 victory over Pittsburgh, but down in Texas the rip-roaring Longhorns required no excuse as they walloped a firstrate Oklahoma A. and M. eleven, 54 to 6, bringing to an end a victory string started last in 1944 though tied last week by Arkansas. U.C.L.A., the west coast powerhouse, whipped Washington, 39 to 13.

Purdue, beaten by Illinois, 43 to 7, plays at Notre Dame, Southwestern plays at Alabama and Stanford meets U.C.L.A. in other contests involving sectional leaders.
Columbia's 23 to 14 upset of Navy puts the week's eastern feature in the Yale bowl where Columbia will put Coach Howie Odell's offensive-minded Yale Bulldogs to their first test. Yale's second half rally, after a 6 to 6 first half, dumped Colgate, 27 to 6.
Indiana's twice-beaten defending champions defeated Minnesota, 21 to 0, and Northwestern turned back highly-touched Wisconsin, 28 to 0. Ohio State, tied by Missouri the week before, downed South California, 21 to 0.
Louisiana State won the big one in the Southeastern conference from Mississippi State, 13 to 6, while Tulane defeated Florida, 27 to 13, and Vanderbilt held on for a 7 to 0 victory over Mississippi.

Tennessee came from behind to hand Duke its second loss in a row, 12 to 7, Georgia Tech routed V.M.L., 32 to 6, and Auburn defeated Furman. 26 to 6.
In the Southwest, Arkansas defeated Texas Christian, 34 to 14, in the only conference game. Rice defeated Southwestern, 48 to 0, but Southern Methodist lost to Texas Tech, 7 to 0, and Texas A. M. Dropped a 10 to 7 decision to Oklahoma in non-conference contests.
On the west coast, Oregon defeated California, 14 to 13, and Washington State knocked off Idaho, 32 to 0. Outside the league, Stanford whipped San Francisco, 33 to 7, and Oregon State defeated Portland, 35 to 0.

A Message for Every Veteran in College
October 1946
Dear Sir:
Now that you are back from doing a good job, your concern is to get a good education quickly--to make up for the warspent years.
The world is still in bad shape; each new day finds fresh trouble. Old values are changing. Your cost of living has zoomed since 1941.
We'should like to point out some values which haven't changed. They will interest you.
1. Most Arrow shirts (including whites) still sell for less than $3.50.
3. Arrow shorts, sports shirts and handkerchiefs are still reasonably priced.
2. Most Arrow neckties still sell for $1 and $1.50.
4. Every Arrow product retains its pro-war quality and workmanship.
5. All Arrow shirts and shorts and most Arrow sports shirts are Sanforized- labeled—can be washed with less than 1% shrinkage.
Because of the demand, Arrow shirts are still darn scarce. But if you find one—and we hope you do—we guarantee you and your wallet will be completely satisfied.
Sincerely yours;
CLUETT, PEABODY & CO.; ING.
