Jim Richey, student intramural manager, has done a fine job this year in running the intramurial program, but he has been criticized by many for certain conditions and disputes which have arisen.
It seems to me that this criticism has been unfounded and unjust. Richey has acted as impartially as it is humanly possible to act. Just because he is a member of a fraternity which usually comes up with pretty good teams doesn't mean he tries to give his team an advantage.
Regardless of the individual who is at the head of the intramural program, some persons will criticize him whether that criticism is just or not. Anyone should know that under the present system the intramural program will present a lot of headaches, but I believe that Jim Richey has done as good a job of running the program fairly as anyone could have done.
I would like to see the intramural board reactivated because I think it would get rid of a lot of personal issues, both fair and unfair.
The student intramural board, under the pre-war setup, consists of one senior, two juniors, three sophomores, and four freshmen. The senior member was in charge, but all controversial issues were voted upon by the entire board. Under this system charge of partisanship were rarely, if ever, made.
Most persons I have talked to are in favor of returning to the intramural board system of running the program. There is far too much paper work concerned for one man, and this board with 10 members would help solve this problem.

The faculty representatives accomplished very little regarding the question of Negro participation in Big Six athletics at their meeting in Lincoln.
The committee merely put into writing the old "gentlemen's agreement" which has been in effect many years. Once again the committee failed to take any positive action on a controversial matter.
Under the "gentlemen's agreement" provision, Negroes may participate in competition between two schools which allow them to do so. In other words, Negroes attending Kansas may participate against Nebraska if they agree to permit it, but when Kansas plays Missouri or Oklahoma, they could not compete.
This sort of provision might work in track, tennis, or golf, but it wouldn't work in football or basketball. Football and basketball teams are built around certain key players, and you couldn't have a man in a key position if he could play only in a few contests. Big time athletics don't work that way.
The faculty committee came out with a high sounding declaration which meant very little. Let's hope that they accomplish something at their next meeting.

E. C. Quigley Cautions Jayhawker Athletes To Safeguard Eligibility In Summer Months
E. C. Quigley, University athletic director, today cautioned Jayhawker athletes who will compete in outside competition this summer to take every step in safeguarding college eligibility.
"Any men who are playing baseball or some other organized sport during vacation have only to secure permission from our faculty representative, Dr. W. W. Davis," Quigley pointed out. "A man is allowed to play on an outside amateur team if he is certified by his faculty representatives. If he doesn't take what little trouble it is to let us know in such a case he is quite likely to lose his college eligibility."
a case he is quite likely to lose his college record. Rule No. 7 under the Big Six code reads: "A student shall be ineligible to represent his college in athletic contests who engages in such contests unattached or as a representative of any athletic organization not connected with his college, whether in term time or vacation. Provided, however, that a student may be allowed to participate unattached or as a representative of any outside amateur athletic organization during the summer vacation, if he has secured permission from the faculty representative of the institution involved."
Carruth, S.A.E. Meet In I-M Softball Today
Carruth tangles with Sigma Alpha Epsilon today in the first game of a preliminary intramural softball play-off between the three teams which tied for second place in Division II. Alpha Tau Omega drew a bye in the first round and will play the winner of today's game tomorrow.
Phi Kappa defeated Carruth, 4 to 3. Wednesday to make a playoff necessary to determine which team will enter the championship tournament.
Phi Kappa took an early lead when Hill hit a home run to left field after consecutive singles by Warnen and Mahoney in the second inning. Carruth tied the score at three-all with single runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings.
Red Carroll, who pitched a masterful one-hit game for Phi Kappa, won his own game with a towering home run to center field.
Ship's Co. defeated Phi Gamma Delta, 4 to 1, to take second place in Division III. Ship's Co. took a one-

Loren Burch hurled his third shutout of the season as PT-7 defeated V-12 (A), 2 to 0. The navy scored both runs in the fifth inning to maintain its undefeated record in league play. Both pitchers tossed fine games, and both faced only 27 battins in the seven-inning contest.
