they get out.
After lunch each day, a nurse comes in and pulls down the blind, turns off your light and radio, rolls down your bed and shuts the door leaving you the impression that you are to go to sleep for an hour. But, instead of waking up at one o'clock you snore on until 3 p.m. when another nurse comes in with a thermometer which soon begins its inevitable journey to your tonsil's. However, the heroine nurse again rushes back in time to prevent the loss of a valuable thermometer. You are lying on your stomach when the nurse decides to roll up your bed so if your back doesn't get broken you wish it had, because you will never be able to walk straight again
The rest of the day is spent about the time except for a mid-afternoon meal that they call evening dinner. But that's not so bad, because your food has just the right amount of time to digest before they put you to bed with the chickens.
While reading you fall asleep and at 9 p.m. a nurse wakes you up and tells you it is time to go to bed. Gee, thanks!
Of course, that 3-hour siesta you had in the afternoon leaves you completely wide awake now so you lie there in the darkness thinking about the day you may get "sprung" from here.
Even in the darkness you can see those little Jayhawkers on the wall staring, staring, staring. Oh-yawn-hm-m-kind of sleepy after all . . . wonder what civilizaton is doing these days . . . snz-z-z- . . . wish somebody would knock out that "-!---$-" street light so a sick man could sleep . . . snz-z-z- . . . wonder if I'm getting "stir" crazy . . . 15 staring Jayhawkers . . . snz-z-z-

The high percentage of officer talent furnished by athletes and coaches seems to establish the fact that there is no finer preparation for war where than intercollegiate athletics. Its premium on quick thinking, strength, endurance and the indomitable competitive spirit have become the trade mark of the American athlete anywhere.
Athletes Become Officers
This tribute to college athletics was suggested by a recent survey of several hundred former Oklahoma University letterman which showed that 91.5 per cent of them were officers, and 77.7 per cent commissioned officers.

In the 1944 outdoor Big Six track meet the Jayhawkers made the best showing in seven years. Although the meet went to the Iowa State Cyclones the Kansas chinderne came in with a strong second. The Jayhawk thinclads won seven firsts in the meet to Iowa State's two, but a smaller squad limited the number of second and third place winners, giving the Cyclones the edge.
The points were awarded on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis and the Iowans scored heavily in the also-ran department, totaling 67 to the Jayhawk mark of $56\%$.

"THE GREAT MIKE"
The season before, Coach Henry Shenk, now head football mentor, took only four men to the Big Six meet at Lincoln but managed to salvage one first place. Tom Scoffield the high jump with a height of 6 feet $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch. Kansas finished at the bottom of the conference that year.
Delving even further into the past we find the Nebraska Cornhuskers winning the 1942 Big Six outdoor track title. Starring Harold Hunt, who cleared the bar on the pote vault at 14 feet 5-8 inches, the Nebraska cinder men amassed a total of seven first places. Kansas State finished second in the meet, and Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas filled out the list in the order named. Cornhuskers Keep the Title
The Nebraskans started a winning streak at the 1939 Big Six competition when they won the meet, that year staged at Ames, Iowa, with a score of 56 9 / 10 points. Bob Stoland, Don Bird, and Ray Harris were Jaya-hawk stars on the track and field that day. Kansas tied with Missouri for fourth as Oklahoma took second and Kansas State third, leaving Iowa

State in last place.
Nebraska continued its winning habit through the conference meets of 1940 and '41. Kansas finished fifth in the 1940 meet during which three meet records were broken. Cornhuskers Ed Wibbels and Herb Grote outdistanced the marks in discus and javelin. Both records had been held by Kansas men, the 155-foot 11-inch discus mark by Thornhill, and the 208-foot 11-inch javelin record by Herringyon.
The Cornhusker's 1941 title was snatched late in the day from the Missouri Tigers who thought they had it cinched. Gene Littler of Nebraska, anchor on the mile relay team sprinted down the stretch to overcome a 10 yard lead by the Missouri team in the last event of the afternoon.
The score was $61\frac{1}{2}$ for the Nebraskans and 60 for the Tigers. Iowa State was a surprise third place winner with $30\frac{1}{2}$ points, Kansas State fourth with 27, and Oklahoma edged the Jayhawkers out of fifth place 23 to 22.
