Probably everyone has heard about the obstacle Glenn Cunningham overcome to be the nation's ace miler and one of the greatest distance runners of all time. Cunningham's legs were burned severely when he was young, and doctors told him he would never run again. He was determined to prove they were wrong and he practiced constantly. Soon he was making everyone take notice of his ability on the cinders.
Many other athletes have suffered injuries or illnesses which threatened to end their athletic competition, and many of them have worked hard until they regained their ability. Some have risen to new heights in the sports world as a result of their determination to come back.
Roy Shoaf, one of the top tennis candidates who hails from Topeka, offers a somewhat parallel case. Shoaf came about eight months in a German prison camp where lesions developed on his lungs. When he returned to the United States, doctors prescribed plenty of tennis playing as the best means of breaking these lessons.
Roy spent a lot of time on the tennis courts, and the lesions disappeared. Now he's out for the varsity team, and he seems to have an inside track on one of the starting positions.

Charlie Black, one of Kansas' all-time basketball greats, had a fine time in New York judging from some of the stories he brought back. Charlie was in New York to play in the East-West All-Star game. "The Hawk" had five shots in the game and tallied on three of them for a darned average.
Baer claimed that he was responsible for World War II.
One of the incidents Charlie relates concerns Max Baer, former world's heavyweight boxing champion, who is now a night club entertainer in the big town.
It's funny just how far a guy's imagination can go.
He said that he defeated Max Schmeling, and this made the Germans mad at the United States. Then, when he beat up Primo Carrera, the Italians were frate. The Germans and Italians got together and decided that something should be done so they could regain their prestige. So they started the second World War.

Sauer 'Pleased With Team's Progress
Coach George Sauer was pleased with the progress made the past week as shown in the football scrimmage yesterday. But there are still a lot of rough edges that need to be ironed out, and there won't be any letup in daily drills in fundamentals or in scrimmages on Friday and Wednesday, Sauer said.
Sauer said that Bray, center; Crawford and Channel, guards; Dickerson, Mize, and Burt, tackles; and Schnellbacher and Grubis, ends, had come along faster than the other line candidates. Small, end, was showing the most promise at the wing position before he injured his ankle last week. He has not taken part in any of the rough work this week.
"Blocking has improved 50 per cent the past week," Coach Sauer said. "The entire squad is working hard and is beginning to show the results."
Foster, Shields, and Harmon drew the "most improved" tag from Sauer. Foster and Shields have been hitting hard and taking their man out of plays, and this is important for the blocking back. Sauer said.
"Harmon ran hard tonight," Sauer said. "If he continues to improve, he will be one of the best fullbacks in the conference next fall. He has improved his charge and is running harder and faster as a result," he added.
Dick Bertuzzi, outstanding freshman halfback last fall, was held out of the scrimmage session last night because of a weak ankle. Ray Evans has checked out a suit and is working out in the daily sessions.
An internal combustion test cell engine valued at $40.000 was obtained by Fowler shops, Paul Hausman, professor and director of the engineering shop, announced today.
This instrument was obtained from government equipment that is being distributed among various schools and will be used for running efficiency tests on all types of engines.
