SPOTLIGHT on SPORTS By BILL SIMS
By BILL SIMS
Kansas will field a varsity baseball team this year for the first time since 1924. Coach "Red" Dugan has a record of about 30 men working in the gym three days a week, and he hopes that they will be able to move outside soon if weather conditions permit.

The Jayhawker baseball teams have never received much support from the students, but perhaps this year will see a new interest in baseball at KU. with so many veterans enrolled. With the same support the students give their football and basketball teams the Jayhawker baseball team might go places.
If sports in general are to gain support at K.U., the student body will have to get behind every sport and give it plenty of support and pep.

The Big Six faculty committee made an important decision at the meeting held recently in Kansas City which should be of interest to all sports fans in the Big Six schools.
The committee interpreted a war veteran's school year as beginning with the semester in which he reenters school and ending with the start of the corresponding semester the next year.
this move will provide additional competition for several outstanding athletes, including our own Ray Evans. This is good news for all K. U. followers.
The rules passed by the committee go into effect in September. War veterans are limited to a maximum of four years of competition, not including participation with service teams.
\* \* \*
Several other important pieces of legislation were passed at the faculty meeting. A veteran will not be eligible to compete if he enters school after the semester has started.
This probably was brought about by the case of Otto Schnellbacher last semester. Many coaches and school officials claimed that Schnellbacher should not have been allowed to compete on the Jayhawker basketball team because he entered school in the middle of the semester.
Another step was made to stamp out a practice which should have been made illegal years ago. The Big Six athletic directors voted unanimously to weigh all football players on a set date at the start of the grid season in the presence of newspapermen assigned to certify correct scale readings.
This action was taken to prevent coaches from listing a man as weighing many pounds below his actual weight. This practice has been going on for years, and it is time that something should be done to stamp it out.
The athletic directors and coaches are finally taking steps in the right direction to rid college football of some of its evils, and Big Six football should profit from these new regulations and interpretations.

Guess Who?
No, this isn't Kurtland, the 7-foot giant on the Oklahoma Aggies Missouri Valley championship cage team. This is A. L. Bennett, starting forward on Coach Henry Iba's team, and he's further proof the K.U. Jayhawkers are going to have plenty of trouble in their play-off with the Aggies in Kansas City Monday night.
Ise Speaks to Discussion Group at Chancellor's Home
"People who are hungry aren't going to be peaceable," John Ise, economics professor, told students and faculty members last week.
"The first requisite of world peace is to give submerged classes more economic freedom," Professor Ise said, in the first informal discussion of post-war problems to be held in faculty homes. After his speech, questions of the atomic bomb, elections, and other problems of national and international affairs were discussed.
Future meetings will be open to all students, Nancy Hulings, Forums board discussion chairman announced.

Beta's Take Second Straight
Beta Theta II captured the men's intramural basketball championship for the second consecutive year by nosing out Sigma Alpha Epsilon 35 to 33 last night in Robinson gymnasium.
The Beta's and Sig Alph's put on the best exhibition of basketball seen in intramural play this year. It was the hardest-fought game of the season, and both teams played inspired ball.
The Sig Alphs gained a 15-10 lead at the start of the second quarter, but the Beta's started hitting midway in the quarter and pulled up to within one point of the Sig Alph's with seconds left in the first half. A quick goal and free throw by Legg, Beta forward, put the Beta's out in front 20-18 at the half.
Bond and Daugherty opened the scoring for the Sig Alph's with two field goals, but Gillen, Beta center, poured in two quick goals for the Beta's to tie up the game. Then the teams exchanged goals, and the score was even up. 10-10, at the end of the first quarter.
The Beta's maintained their lead most of the third quarter, but the Sig Alph's matched goal for goal. Ocamb, Sig Alph forward, tallied two beautiful push shots to put his team out in front 28-25 at the end of the quarter.
The Sig Alph's led the first half of the final quarter, but goals by Gillen and Legg. Beta's, gave the Beta's advantage, Kaufman, Sig Alph score, netted a free throw to tie up the game, but Gillen and Cramer hit goals for the Beta's to forge into the lead they never re-renquished. Ocamb scored a set up for the Sig Alph's to bring the score to 35-33, but the Beta's kept possession of the ball the rest of the game.
Ray Ocamb, Sig Alph forward, was high point man with 12 points. Jim Legg and Clare Gillen tallied 11 points each to lead the Beta's to the title. Bill Daugherty, Sig Alph, played an outstanding defensive game and also contributed seven points. Gillen and Neal Cramer were the defensive stars for the Beta's. Gillen took rebound after rebound, and Cramer was a constant thorn in the side to the Sig Alph's with his ball stealing tactics.
