Grid Practice To Begin With Many Gone
Spring football practice which was scheduled to start this afternoon probably will consist of no more than checking out uniforms, head coach Henry Shenk announced this morning.
"Rainy weather will keep the players off the field today, but we may get a little practice in tomorrow if it clears off," Coach Shenk commented. Prospects for next fall's grid eleven is somewhat of a question mark, since most of last season's squad members will be off the Hill then, being transferred by the Navy or drafted into the armed forces.
Weather permitting, the men will drill on fundamentals for a few weeks, and play a few intra-squad practice games. About forty men reported for the first practice last spring. Marquette university and the University of Wichita are new schools on the Jayhawk football schedule next fall.
Schaake Appointed Assistant Grid Coach
Elmer Schake has been appointed assistant football coach for the 1945 season, E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, announced today. Schake, who lettered in football and basketball at KU, from 1929 to 1932, came to the University athletic department from five seasons coaching at Lawrence Memorial High School. He was captain of the 1932 Jayhawker football squad and chosen All Big Six quarterback. In 1932 he played pro football for the Portsmouth, Ohio, Spartans, under George "Fotsy" Clark, former KU. coach.

The ElDorado Surprise
The Kansas high school AA bas ketball tournament has taken a strange turn in the last week, and no one knows quite how it happened. El Dorado, an Ark Valley five which finished behind Wellington, Hutchinson, Wichita North, Newton, Wichita East, and others in the Valley this year, will play in the finals of the tournament next weekend at Emporia, but none of the other teams are left in the race. This fighting cage five, starting its season dismally and not improving much by mid-season, has gained momentum the past few games, and has been setting a terrific pace in tournament play. The El Dorado cages edged out Salina Saturday evening, conquerors of Newton on the preceding night, to win the western bracket and gain a seeded berth in the coming finals.
Columbus Wins Semifinal
Meeting these two Western fives will be Topeka and Columbus. The latter cagers slipped past the Trojans last Saturday night in a real thriller, to become Eastern champions for 1945. Columbus was an unknown quantity this season, meeting few teams with which a comparison could be made. The Trojans lost the regional to Lawrence a week ago, but came back to defeat Coffeville and Wyandotte on successive nights. Turner Comes Through
By Earl Barney
Anthony and Turner in class A, and Halstead in class B seem to be having things pretty much their own way in turning back each and every opponent. The Anthony five won the Western semi-finals Saturday night by routing Hoisington 56-37, while Halstead had a field day at Attica's expense, 51-21. The strong Turner five defeated Seaman of Topeka and Highland Park of Topeka on successive nights by wide margins, indicating it will be a strong contender at Emporia.
A. A.U. Tourney Begins
The National A.A.U. basketball tournament got under way in Denver Sunday night with seven cage fives getting into the second round. The favored fives will not take the court until tonight or tomorrow night. As usual, the Phillips 66 cagers of Bartlesville, Okla., are ceded No. 1 in the tourney, but the 20th Century Fox team from Hollywood is sure to give the '44 champions no little trouble. The strong Kansas City Pratt-Whitty basketeers did not take the court last night, being one of the seven favored teams to draw a first round bye.

While we ask for paper, there is hardly anything which is not usable. DON'T throw anything usable away; let us judge its utility.
PAPER! is a WAR NECESSITY!

It has gone to war BUT is still helping to fight a war at home. Your discarded paper can be converted into nourishment to sustain life.
It is no exaggeration to say that the paper destroyed daily would, if collected and sent to the mills, yield sufficient revenue to care for and feed thousands thru the year.
Football coach Henry Shenk eyed the damp atmosphere this morning and complained "I knew that just as soon as we started spring football practice it would begin raining. We only had about three or four days of decent weather last spring," he concluded.
Spring Practice Blues
It is expected that Gene Phelps and Dick Howard, civilian students will be back for summer workouts and will be available for the squad next fall.
This is the first time in a number of years that four different sections of the state have been represented in the class AA finals. Salina comes from the central Kansas League; El
Four Sections Represented
Bats Sent to Zoology Department From Luzon
Dorado from the Ark Valley League; Columbus from Southeast section, and Topeka from the Eastern section.
"Therefore, spring and summer practice is a must for all candidates in order that they may learn their fundamentals and plays," Michalske says.
All Navy or civilian men interested in football have been invited to the meeting. Michalske explained that spring sessions are more important than ever at the present time.
Spring football practice will begin tomorrow at Iowa State college, Mike Michalske announced Saturday. The squad met Thursday evening for a brief pre-practice meeting.
Two preserved bats were sent from Luzon to Dr. E.R. Hall, director of the Dyche Museum of Natural History, by Capt. C. Mohr, zoologist.
Spring Football A 'Must' at Iowa
"Under the accelerated program at Iowa State college, little time is left for practice sessions in the fall. All practice sessions will be brief and there will no fall pre-season practice as in normal times.
Dr. Hall explained that these bats were sent because of a doctor's thesis, "Mammals in the Philippines," written by Prof. Edward H. Taylor. Prof. Taylor was formerly a professor in the zoology department and before that was chief of the Philippine bureau of fisheries for many years. He is now on leave from the University and is in the armed service.

Dr. Allen Is District Governor of Rotary
The internationally known basketball coach became a member of the Lawrence Rotary club in 1919 shortly after joining the University staff. Last year he served the club as president.
Dr. Forrest C. Allen has been elected governor of the 123rd district of Rotary International, according to information contained in a telegram from Howard Quigley of Olathe, who is completing a term as head of the district.
The vote was conducted by mail among 1,200 Rotarians in the district. This is a new procedure in electing a district governor. It is customary for the office to be filled by election at a district conference but a federal clamp on conventions caused cancellation of a meeting scheduled to be held here next month.
Doane and Legler Make Quack Club
