Henry Iba, whose Oklahoma Aggie basketball and wrestling teams were national champions this year and whose football team was undefeated last fall, has proposed a uniform collegiate athletic scholarship program controlled by a czar.
Iba proposed that equal scholarships should be established in all conferences, and no one of them should offer more inducement than the other. He also said that the heads of the various conferences should get together and agree on standards, and then they should choose a national director with absolute power.
This is not the first time a suggestion has been made to have a national collegiate czar. Our own Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen long has favored this plan, and many other outstanding sports figures approve it.

But Iba's suggestion brings up another point. Should there be a uniform scholarship plan? This idea has been argued for years, but no one has been able to convince a majority that there should be.
Boris:
The main argument has been that this would make college athletes professionals, and players wouldn't be interested in going to school to learn but only to participate in sports.
sports. This argument doesn't hold up because many schools openly admit that they pay their athletes. So if an athlete only wanted to participate in sports, he could attend one of these schools. It's true that some athletes don't care about a college education except as a means of getting to play football or basketball, but this isn't often the case.
Several conferences have athletic scholarship programs which seem to work well. Many other conferences don't come out in the open on the subject, but some other schools in those leagues pay their athletes and get away with it.
It seems to me that it would be fairer to all schools to have a standard program such as Iba has suggested. Then there would be no "bidding" for athletes, and the entire athletic situation would improve.
Tennis Team Wins Over Washburn, 5-1
The K.U. tennis team won it first victory in nine years over Washburn University yesterday in Topeka, taking the match 5-1. The last time the Jayhawkers defeated the usually-strong Washburn netters was in 1937, when K.U. took the Big Six championship.
Only Bob Barnes, smooth-stroking number two Jayhawker, lost his match. He and Bob Taggart of Washburn tangled in a two-hour see-saw battle, and Barnes once held match point, but erred.
Roy Shoaf, Topeka junior, beat his former doubles partner, Carl Lozy, in the number one match, 6-4, 6-3. Shoaf and Charles Snyder, Business senior, teamed to win an easy first doubles match from Lozy and Ned McCue, 6-4, 6-1.
Other results saw Charles Carson defeating Les Hasselgott, 6-3, 6-4. Eldon Froid beating Don Silver, 6-2, 6-1 and Carson-Barnes teaming to whip Taggart-Hasselt, former high school doubles champions, 7-5, 6-3.

hawker court star, was named post-
humus captain of Kansas 1946 Big

dinner, last night.
Hunter Honored By Cage Lettermen
Hunter, who was killed July 21, 1944, on the first American landing on Guam with the marines, was paid tribute by 17 Kansas lettermen. He lettered in 1940, 1941, and 1942, was graduated in June, 1942.
The idea of honoring Hunter came from Charlie Black, the All-American forward, because there wasn't a senior on this year's squad.
"I have never seen a finer gesture of love and friendship among men," Dr. F. C. Allen said after the squad decided to honor Hunter.
Letters were awarded to Black, Otto Schnellbacher, Ray Evans, Owen Peck, Gib Stramel, Wendell Clark, Jack Ballard, Gene Barr, Fay Frisby, Gene Peterson, Hoyt Baker, George Gear, Don Auten, Gene Anderson, Gus Daum, Maurice Martin, and Dean Corder.
Phi Psi's Champions In Men's Volleyball
Intramural volleyball championship went the Phi Kappa PSI team last night in the final game at Robinson gym. The Phi PSI team defeated Sigma Chi 17-15, 15-6 in two straight games.
The first match was closely played with both teams never having over a four point advantage at any time during the game. The Phi Psi's were able to hold a slight advantage until the last when the Sigma Chi team tied the score at 15 all. The duce game went to the Phi Psi's when they scored two straight points to take the first game.
Having a one game advantage, the Phi Psi team was able to easily take the second match 15-6. They gained an early lead and were never seriously pressed during the remainder of the game.

Austin, Tex. (UP)—Softball as a game dates back to 1865 or earlier, an account of the life of Elfeo Baca of New Mexico, in the Texas state library, reveals.
At that time the New Mexican contemporary of "Billy the Kid" wrote that the game was known as "Las Iglesias."
yesterdays Dr. Kehler was comparing Milton's "Paradise Lost" to modern life, using Milton's theory of heroic energy as a basis for his conclusions. Softball in 1865

Black Named All-American Again
Charlie Black, one of Kansas' all-time basketball greats and three time All-Big Six forward, has been notified that he has been selected on the Helms Athletic foundation's 1946 All-America basketball team.
