Carl Hird, Sr., father of the football players, Wayne and Carl, Jr. shot a black squirrel this winter on his farm six miles west of Lawrence.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, saw the tanned hide Saturday and, remembering a controversy that raged in the Kansas City Star's sports column a few years ago as to the existence of a reported black squirrel, he wrote the Star's sports editor, C. E. McBride, describing Mr. Hird's rare prize.
"The squirrel is jet black with a tan abomen," Dr. Allen said today. "I asked him what he thought he was shooting. He said he thought it was a civil cat. It was partly hidden by a branch, and he wondered how it could have been in a tree if it was a civil cat."
Carl Jr. played football for Kansas in 1942 and is now in the navy. The brothers played against each other when Olathe Naval Air station played here the past fall. Carl was the captain for the Clippers, playing tackle. Wayne played at center for the Jayhawkers.
Large Scale Evacuations Threaten Army Athletic Program
In the eyes of the Star's McBride, incidentally, the great sports program which has been underway in the European area for several months may be wasted.
The speed with which the soldiers in Europe are being returned home or transferred to the Pacific war is the cause of the writer's concern. The program will have to be curtailed if it is carried on.
Two former Kansas coaches, Bill Hargiss and Dean Nesmith, are mentioned as among those who have been engaged in coaching army men who in turn would take over the work in the post-war days of the occupation period.
One result McBride sees of the intensified coaching program, that has been going on is that it will make the returning soldiers more athletic-minded in the golden age following the war with Japan. Big Ten Commissi
Ten Commissioner Will Be Boss While the Big Six conference considers the question of a commissioner to run the show, here what's doing in the Big Ten. Its new commissioner, Kenneth L. "Tug" Wilson, has been given virtually unlimited powers and is expected to crack down on subsidizing athletes.
After six months' debate, the faculty committee and athletic directors gave Wilson, successor to the Late John L. Griffith, the authority to enforce legislation regarding eligibility, and to determine whether athletes have been "recruited."

George March To Be Independence Official
George M. March, associate engineer in the University water laboratory, has been employed as the first city manager of Independence, according to an Independence city commission announcement.
Mr. March said that he was resigning his position as sanitary engineer for the Kansas Board of Health. He was not certain of the date he would assume his new duties but the family, including Mrs. March and their daughter, Jo Anna, plans to move to Independence in the near future.
He served as city manager of El Reno, Okla., for two years, leaving in 1939. Before joining the State Board of Health staff he was employed by Black and Veatch, Kansas City engineering firm, in construction of army camps and air bases. He was assistant engineer at Camp Robinson and Camp Chafee, Ark.; on air base projects at Jackson, Miss., and at the Independence air base for a year before returning to Lawrence to accept the post at the University.
Mr. March completed his work in the School of Engineering and Architecture in 1909.
