UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
APRIL 8.1946
By BILL SIMS
Out of the Southeastern conference, where footballers are openly and honestly put on the payroll through athletic scholarships, comes an interesting yarn.
One conference school is rumored to have reached a new high with a side agreement which will net a former prep sensation down in that country a cool $10,000.
Alumni and campus business men allegedly have raised the money outside regular athletic funds, and will provide an apartment, automobile, tuition, books, fees, a rebate on his GI aid, and cash to total the $10,000.

George Gear, one of the most promising freshman athletes ever to hit the campus, is a varsity tennis team candidate. He might make the team and earn his third major athletic letter this year.
It seems like the tactics of the outlaw Mexican baseball league are being copied.
Gear lettered in football and basketball. He was a standout performer at quarterback on Henry Shenk's grid squad last fall, and he also lettered on Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's champion Jayhawker basketball squad.
Another school is reported to have stopped bidding at $7,000.
Sidelights—A report is circulating that Nebraska is trying to woo Bruce Drake, Oklahoma's court mentor, away from Soonerland. . .
* *
If Gear earns a tennis letter, he will be the first freshman athlete in many years to accomplish the feat of winning three major letters.
I wonder whether Gerald Tucker scheduled to return to O.U. next fall, also would migrate to Nebraska if Drake went there. . .
Bobby Layne, Texas grid star who passed and ran the Longhorns to a Cotton Bowl victory over the Missouri Tigers, also uses his throwing arm effectively on the baseball diamond. He hurled a no-hit, no-run game in his first mound appearance this season and since has added a one-hit performance to his credit.
Only Harry Could Get Away With a Fashion Faux Pas
New York. (UP)—The Custom Tailors' Guild of America conceded that it could do nothing about it, if the President of the United States wanted to wear a silver-striped bow tie with his evening clothes.
However, the guild said it wasn't considered sartorially correct.
President Truman committed what the guild considered a sartorial faus pas recently when he appeared at the Jackson Day dinner in Washington attired in evening clothes with the silver-striped bow tie.
But, on the other hand, since the President wore it, perhaps it will become a fad and everyone will wear silver-striped bow ties with their evening clothes, Balletta said.
The silver-striped tie would have been proper with a single-breasted coat with a silver and black vest, said the guild president.
He should have worn a solid black tie, said James Balletta, president of the guild, the organization which annually selects America's 10 best-dressed men.
London. (UP) — Authoritative sources said today that Britain had broken diplomatic arrangements with Albania because of the treatment of a British military commission in that country.

Shoaf To Lead Vets In Tennis Opener
A team of five veterans will represent K.U. in the season tennis opener against Washburn university at Toneka tomorrow.
Roy Shofa, Topeka junior, will lead the Jayhawkers, playing No. 1 singles and anchoring the top doubles team with Charles Snyder, Business senior.

K.U. Places Second In Texas Relays
The Jayhawker thinclads captured second place in the Texas Relays Saturday at Austin. Kansas took one first, one second, and four thirds for a total of 16 points to finish behind Texas university.
Every Jayhawker who participated in the meet returned to Lawrence with a medal, and Coach Ray Kanehl was pleased with the showing made against strong university, college, and service teams.
Tom Scofield won Kansas' only first place by leaping 6 feet, 6 inches in the high jump. LeRoy Robinson threw the shot 45 feet, 3-7 to 8 inches to take third place in that event. Karl Ebel heaved the javelin 189 feet, $6 \frac{4}{2}$ inches for third place, and Mel Stevens captured third in the broad jump by leaping 22 feet, $9 \frac{9}{2}$ inches. The two-mile relay team took second place, and the sprint medley team was third.
All members of the varsity golf team who took part in the 36-hole qualifying round last week are to contact Coach William Shannon by 9 a.m. tomorrow, the coach said.
