Delts Take Lead From Battenfeld In A League
Standings in the A division of the men's intramural softball league have been reshuffled as the Delt's took the lead last night, defeating Battenfeld 9-8. The game was a play-off of the tie game to two teams played at the first of the season. It was agreed in a recent meeting of the intramural managers that the tie could be played off if the two teams agreed to do so.
Fro mall indications, the Phi Delt's will tie the Delt's in the A division after playing the Beta's tonight. The Phi Delt's have lost only one game, while the Beta's have dropped three.
Ray Kaneh, assistant intramural sports manager, has announced that the finals will be run off as soon as possible.
Battenfeld led in the first six innings, but Charley Moffett, batted in two runs in the last half of the seventh, with two outs, tying the score. Scoring two more runs, the Dell's came out victors.
Games to be played tonight are Beta-Phi Delt, and Duke's Mixture-Sigma Nu. These games will finish all league games.

Phi Delt Team Wins Match With Beta's In Handball Tourney
The John McShane-John McGuckin Phil Delt heart team defeated Beta's Howard Joseph and Bob Neustrom, 2-14, 2-13, yesterday setting up a Phi Delt-Beta championship match.
McShane and McGuckin will play Jerry Simpson and Bill West for the handball doubles title.
The edge in the final match should be on the Phi Delt side because the McShane-McGuckin team beat a Phi Psi team, Tom Sinclair and Rudy Carl, 21-7, 21-0, before winning from Joseph and Neustrom, while the Beta finalists made their way through the tourney without playing a game.
Simpson and West were byed in the first round and were advanced from there on two defaults.
The other thing in favor of the Phi Delt team is the fact that McShane was the winner of the singles tourney, defeating Simpson of the Beta team, 21-9, 21-7, 21-11. McShane played and won six games in that contest while Simpson won three.
The outcome of the doubles tourney may decide the 1945 intramural sweepstakes winner because of the very slight lead now held by the Beta's over the second running Phi Delta's. The Phi Delt's advantage over the Beta's in the softball tourney has already jeopardized that margin.
Watkins Is Victor In Softball Tourney
Watkins swung into the women's softball intramural championship over Miller yesterday with Helen Bozarth pitching a shutout game of 5-0 in what was called the best game of the season.
Watkins made one run in the first inning, none in the second, and four in the third. The pitching of Helen Bozarth enabled Miller to get only two hits in the entire game.
The battery for Watkins was Violet Conard and Helen Bozarth, and for Miller, Iva and Lucile Rothenberger. Other outstanding players were Marjorie Kaff for Watkins and Mary Holbrook for Miller.

One reason for establishing the course, is to prove that College freshmen and sophomores can participate in self-education, Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College explained.
"It is something not done in most colleges," he continued, "but the faculty believes that students can take books, articles, journals, and with optional tutorial help, integrate what they read."
Students will receive no help in the reading unless they call for it.

Home Flowers To Keep Him Busy After Being K.U. Gardner 27 Yrs.
Mr. Hoffmann spent his last day at the University yesterday, retiring after 27 years of helping to make the campus more beautiful. "I have plenty of flowers to keep me busy at home," he said in broken English, explaining that he was not quitting to take another job. One Son in Lawrence
Of his children, Harry is a lawyer in Lawrence; William, just back from China, is a professor at a university in Canton; Clarence received a master's degree from the University in 1931 in entymology and a doctor's degree from the University of Minnesota; Goldie, the only daughter, was a Phi Beta Kappa. She majored in English and received a master's degree in 1931.
Mr. Hoffman went to primary school in Germany where he was born. He came to the United States in 1887 with a brother and settled in Caldwell. Before coming to the University in 1918 he lived on a homestead in Oklahoma "about 52 miles from the Kansas line." Worries Over Crops
Worries Over Crops
With a thoughtful look he worried aloud about the crops in Oklahoma where he is planning to spend a few weeks on that same farm before returning to his home, 1133 Rhode Island street.
"I'm about the oldest hand on the campus," he said proudly. "I came to the University when there were no paved streets and no flower beds. Five or six buildings have been added also since I first arrived."
During his 27 years with the University, Mr. Hoffman has worked for three chancellors, three building and grounds superintendents, and five landscape superintendents.
