Shenk to Stay United Press Writer Declares
By JIM GRIEVES United Press Sports Writer
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—Henry Shenk will be back at the University of Kansas next year, but before another grid season roils around, there will be four major football coaching changes in the Big Six conference.
Don Faurot returns to the helm at Missouri, Lt. Hobbs Adams returns from the service to take over at Kansas State college, while Oklahoma and Nebraska are both in the market for head coaches.
Dewey "Snorter" Luster, who compiled one of the finest coaching records at Oklahoma in Sooner football history, announced his retirement because of ill health.
(The United Press dispatch did not indicate specifically that Shenk would be back as head football coach, his present position. He also is an assistant professor on the physical education department staff.)
Lud Fiser graduated from the high school ranks to return to his alma mater, Kansas State college, as head coach this season. Fiser will be retained in a coaching capacity at K-State under Adams.
George "Potisy" Clark, veteran college and pro mentor, signed only a one-year contract to pilot the Nebraska Cornhuskers and told university athletic authorities that he wouldn't be available for next year. The Cornhuskers developed rapidly under Clark, winning their final four games.
Mike Michalske will be back at Iowa State to complete the coaching picture.
Jack, Venable, keg-legged Oklahoma fallback, won the individual Big Six scoring honors, crossing the double-chalked marker six times for a total of 38 points. Loyd Brinkman, Missouri's outstanding freshman back, finished second to Venable with 38 points.
The league produced several outstading freshmen candidates this season. These included Brinkman of Missouri, Bob Bodenhamer of Oklahoma, Mack Robinson of Nebraska, Ted Grimes of Kansas State, George Gear and Dick Bertuzzi of Kansas.
Pound for pound—all 295 of them —Jumbo Jim Kekeris was rated the league's best all-around lineman, with second place honors being divided among Jim Riding of Iowa State, Russell Hardin of Kansas State, Dave Schmidt of Kansas, and Tommy "The Chief" Tallchief of Oklahoma.
Kekeris was amazingly fast and agile for a big man and he loved to play when the going was the roughest—sometimes being a little too rough.
Conference members fared poorly in extra-curricular games outside the Big Six border, Nebraska defeated Iowa's Hawkeyes of the Western conference 13-6, Missouri sweated out a 10-7 victory over Southern Methodist of the Southwestern conference on the strength of Kelkers' into game field goal, and Kansas earned a 29-19 thriller over Denver university.
Aside from those three wins, conference elevends dropped all the rest of their 15 intersectional matches this season. Missouri's league titlists dropped one-sided games to Minnesota and Ohio State and a 14-7 defeat to Michigan State to eliminate them from any possible bowl consideration.
Parrots in the forests of Mexico are valued for food, and in New Caledonia roast spiders are a favorite dish.
Activity Books Admit To First Cage Games
Orders for reserved basketball tickets will be accepted next week in the athletic office, E. C. Falkenstien, athletic financial secretary, announced today.
Students will be admitted to the first three basketball games with activity books, but must purchase a basketball season ticket at the student rate for the conference games, he said.
V-12's Football Team Second in Division
The intramural football battle drew into its final round yesterday as the smaller teams fought it for for cellar positions in their leagues.
In Division II the game of the day was the V-12's defeat over Sigma Chi for second position. Though the Sig's tried hard to get their smooth pass plays to click they were held down by the Navy aerial defense and strong offensive.
In the latter part of the second quarter the V-12's star end, Dodd ran over the goal to chalk up the first score of the game. The Sigma Chi's tried hard to rally in the second half, but were unable to do so. In the fourth quarter Blanton for the Navy ran wild around the Sigma Chi team and made the final touchdown of the game.
Rounding out the scores in Division II, the powerhouse Phi Gam team made certain of their division championship by trumping the Delt's 42-6. Kappa Sig won over Kappa Alph Psi by default.
In Division I the Sig Alph's walked over the DU's by a margin of 24 to 0. Battenfield Hall was beaten by a heavier Sigma Nu team by a score of 12-0. Lytle and Petesch scored for Sigma Nu. The Phi Delt's won over Carruth Hall by design.

How Odd We'll All Look In the Year 2,000,000
By Marian Thomson Daily Kansan Staff Writer
The year was 2000,000. The hoary Jayhawk, who had been touring the solar system in his atomic rocket ship since the year 2000, swooped down over Mt. Oread to inspect the current crop of K.U. students.
He perched on Uncle Jimmy Green's shoulder, just as the 12:20 whistle blew. The door of Green hall opened.
Surely those old creatures swarming the sidewalks were not K.U. students.
"Hubba hubba, what's that?" the old bird squawked, almost toppling from his post.
"Look at 'em," the Jayhawk whispered to uncle Jimmy. "Where's their hair? Those shining tops look like volleyballs. And what about their fingers? Their hands look like baseball bats!"
"Maybe they have turned Green hall into a zoo, and these aren't really humans," he consoleed himself. He hopped down to Robinsor gymnasium.
"Where is the basketball team practicing?" he asked a green-capped freshman, who was doing pushups.
"Basketball?" The freshman then serached his oversized bald head. "Oh yes, that's the game we studied in ancient history. They had to give it up when everyone went
blind, a couple of thousand years ago. The encyclopedia said K.U.'s team wasn't bad."
"You might even say we were sort of good," the bird muttered as he hopped on down the campus.
"I remember talking to a K.U. professor, back in 1945," the Jayhawk remarked to himself. "When I asked him how much farther evolution would go, he said this very thing might happen. He told me, 'We're losing our hair, our fingers, our toes, our ears, and our eyes. Look how many more persons wear glasses than did in pioneer days. We wear out our eyes reading at night instead of looking across the prairies for Indians.'"
The Jayhawk went on to cross the campus.
"The professor and I talked about whether the soft life of the 20th century would eventually destroy the civilized human race. We decided that vitamins and complex scientific care would keep them going, maybe even making them bigger and better."
A monkey ran across the Jayhawk's path.
"I'm, a throwback," observed the bird.
With this, he climbed back into his rocket ship and headed for the moon.
