Now that all Jayhawker varsity sports competition has been completed, attention will focus on the playoffs of the intramural softball tournament which starts Monday.
This tournament always has drawn a lot of interest on the campus, and the playoffs this year should be one of the best in many years.
years.
Only two teams, Phi Delta Theta and PT-7, are undefeated in league play, but the other teams were evenly matched. Many fans think the two undefeated teams will meet in the final game for the title, but others believe a dark horse will upset this pre-tournament dope.
If these teams should come through the playoffs unscathed, the final game should produce one of the hottest pitching duels in intramural history between Loren Burch, PT-7, and Ray Evans, PhD Delt.
There has been a lot of discussion this season as to which of these two is the better pitcher, and each man's fans will give his reasons for supporting his favorite at the drop of a hat.
Both are excellent hurriers, and much can be said for each one. But the final decision will have to wait until the two teams meet.

I believe the intramural system at K.U. could stand a few changes which would help clear up some of the confusion about certain points.
As the system works now, each team furnishes one official for its own games. Before the war, officials signed up before each sport started and were instructed how to officiate at a rules interpretation meeting. These men were paid a small sum for working each game. This salary was taken from the fund which was built up by a small fee for each team participating in that sport.
It seems to me that better officiating was the result. It also did away with many charges of partisanship and biased umpiring. No man was ever assigned to work a game in which his team or organization was competing.
If enough men are interested in seeing some change made in the present system regarding the officials, the intramural office probably would be glad to co-operate in setting up a new standard. Let's have your ideas on the matter.
The faculty athletic representatives continue to beat around the bush concerning the question of appointing a commissioner of Big Six athletics when they met at Lincoln.
It was rumored that the athletic directors had recommended a man for the job and had sent their recommendation to the faculty committee, but nothing was done except to table it until the next meeting which will be held this winter.
It seems to me that a commissioner is needed now more than ever, and I think the faculty representative should take a definite stand, one way or the other. It's time the Big Six gets its head out of the ground and takes some positive action.
Intramural Tennis Golf Into Finals
The men's intramural tennis tournament has advanced to the semi-finals, and these matches must be played this week.
John Shelton, Beta Theta Pi, tangle with Jerome Wildgen, Sigma Chi, for one of the final berths. Bill Daugherty and Bill Howard, both members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, clash in the other semi-final match.
Bob Cyan, Delta Tau Delta, has advanced to the finals in the men's intramural golf tournament. His opponent in the title match will be decided when Harry McClure, Phi Delta Theta, and Jerry Ewers, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, play their semi-final game.
PT-7, Phi Delt, Beta, Sigma Chi Kappa Sig To Men's Softball Finals
PT-7, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi, and Kappa Sigma have gained intramural softball tournament playoff berths. The playoffs start Monday with eight teams competing for the championship. The other entrants will be decided this week.
PT-7 and Phi Delta Theta are undefeated in league play. The Phi Delf's have finished their schedule, and PT-7 plays its last league game today against the V-12 (A) team.
Sigma Chi won the Division III title with six victories and one defeat. Old Timers, Ship's Co., and Phi Gamma Delta finished the season tied for second place, and preliminary playoffs to determine which two of these teams would enter the final tournament started Tuesday.
The Phi Gam's defeated the Old Timers 7 to 2, but the Old Timers protested the game to the umpires. The protest was referred to the intramural office. The protest came when a Phi Gam scored on an overthrow at third base, and the Old Timer third baseman claimed that the Phi Gam spectators blocked his vision so that he could not throw to home plate.
Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Sigma tied for second place in Division I, but the Beta's defeated the Kappa Sig's in a playoff game 23 to 8 Tuesday to take second place. Both teams will enter the championship playoffs Monday.
Carruth holds second place in Division II, but it plays the Phi Kappa's today to complete its schedule. If the Phi Kappa's score an upset victory, Carruth will be tied with Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon for second place, and a playoff will be necessary to determine which team will enter the playoffs.
