Meet to Be Held Here April 21 For High Schools
The forty-first annual interscholastic track and field meet for Kansas high schools will be held at Memorial stadium on April 21. B. C. Quigley, director of athletics, has announced.
The meet the past three years has been held on Saturday on the date of the annual Kansas relays. It was formerly held on Fridays, preceding the relays. Since the relays have been discontinued for the duration of the war, the date for the high school meet has been changed to Saturday.
The meet this year will be run in three sections, class AA, Class A, and class B. in keeping with the sizes of the various high schools. In the past the meet has been run off in two groups, class A and class B.
Last year the class A winner was Wichita East, and Clearwater high school won the class B title. The event last year was run off in a downpour rain.

The Oklahoma Aggies will be carrying the hopes of the Big Six-Missouri Valley district when they ride into the NCAA western finals in Kansas City soon. Though the Cowboys have never been on our list of "o.k." teams, the best wishes of this column rides with the Oklahomans all the way.

A Plug for the Big Six
The various statements that Big Six basketball is below per-war standards may be quite true, but this is no reason for giving the conference the go-by in rating teams throughout the nation. The Oklahoma Aggies, listed as one of the top five teams in the nation this winter, had plenty of trouble getting by the Oklahoma Sooners the three times the two schools met this season, being forced to come from behind near the end of the game to take the last encounter—and Oklahoma finished in a tie for third in the conference. The Iowa Hawkeyes, undisputed champion of the Western Conference this season with only one defeat, had to use every trick in the books to trounce Nebraska in a pre-season encounter, and look where the Cornhustlers finished in the Big Six!
A Defensive Conference
Other than these games, there is little on hand to compare the conference with the outside world. But just the same, the Big Six has not slipped any more than any other conference or independent team throughout the country. True, there were no human trees gracing Big Six squads this season, but since when did the Big fellow make a basketball team good? Other teams' stars may have averaged twenty or twenty-five points a game this winter, but the Big Six has always been one of the tightest defensive leagues in the country, what with Oklahoma and Kansas both in it.
Lawrence Regionals
Perhaps the winter sport is below par here in the Mid-west, but not any more so than in any other section. Just don't pass us up, "experts," we don't like it!
Lawrence and K.U. basketball fans will get their first taste of high school tournament play this Thursday and Friday when four AA teams meet to decide who goes to the Eastern regional in Kansas City next week. Lawrence and Ward high of Kansas City will tangle in one section of the doubleheader, while the Topeka - Atchison encounter will round out the first night's play. Friday night the winners and losers will meet to select second and fourth place teams. These games may prove

important to state play, because Ward and Topeka are both powers in the east this year. Ward being a decidedly hot and cold team. Lawrence may provide the big upset, however, by knocking off the Kansas City school.
A Plug for Volleyball
As we remember, a very successful volley ball tournament was held last spring about this time as part of the University intramural sports program. May we put in a good word or two for another tournament to follow the basketball games just completed. There are very few sports requiring faster thinking and better body coordination than volleyball, and it is definitely not the "sissy" sport that many think it. Competition was been last spring, and there is more than one intense rivalry existing on the Hill these days. How about it, managers?
Both Sexes in Service Club
At College in Pittsburg
Pittburg, Kan.—(ACP)—Vetans attending Kansas State Teachers college recently decided that their organization will be known as the Ex-Service men and Women club or E.S.M.W. The club is patterned after the vocational club, the members of which were known as the "Vocates" who were active during the training period following World War I.
Some of the objectives of this group are: (1) To aid members in fitting themselves into the regular college program, (2) to study and keep abreast with veteran affairs, new legislation, training and placements, (3) to aid new men and women who come into the veterans program, to get oriented in institutional affairs, (4) to study all opportunities of training, (5) to discover talent in the group, (6) social affairs for the group and (7) a sport program.
