For 14 years before the women's rifle team became inactive because of war-time restrictions, it was defeated only once—by the K.U. Men's varsity team in a meet at Kemper Military academy, Boonville, Mo.
Sergeant Millard has won 126 shooting trophies in the past nine years. Formerly Fourth Army team commander at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, he won his last trophy in the 1945 U.S. army national individual matches, scoring a 99.7 with an army .45 caliber pistol.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen issued his second call for basketball candidates Wednesday asking every player interested to meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, on the basketball court in Robinson gym.
Dr. Allen, who will begin his thirtieth season at the head of Kansas cage fortunes, emphasized the point that he wanted only those men who wanted to play the game hard and who thought they had enough ability to help the varsity.

Twice The Nerveless Gas Housers Have Won Pennant On Last Day
"There is intramural basketball for those who want to play just for fun," Dr. Allen stressed.
St. Louis. (UP)—If it's a war of cold nerve the Brooklyn Bums want, they've taken on the original deep freeze guys of the national pastime—the St. Louis Cardinals.
Twice, with Red Bird fans winceing at every pitch, the boys with the liquid oxygen blood have won pennants on the last day of the season.

Excepting two times, Sam Breadon's boys have won their nine flags with the heat on and barreling down
Bill Terry's crew already had measurements for new ropes on the center field pole to support two flags when the roof fell in.
the stretch. However, that 1934 tilt was the classic.
The Giants took on the Philas like a two-bit fish dinner—but they got bones caught in their throats. The Phillies copped two straight and the crumbling Polo grounders moved into Brooklyn to dine on some words. Remember, "Is Brooklyn still in the league?
Came the final game, with Dizzy Dean on the mound. As the Giants tossed the dice and lost in Brooklyn, 8 to 5 the Gas House boys yawned and cracked the Red 9 to 0. Nobody worked up a sweat in St. Louis that day except the fans.
Meanwhile, the Cards were walloping a strong Cincinnati club as calmly as in spring training. They won the first two games by 8 to 5 scores. When the Dodgers hammered the Giants 5 to 1 in their opener the frigid nerved Red Birds plunked over the Reds 6 to 1.
