K.U. Trackmen Take Three Firsts
Kansas took three first places in the track meet against Nebraska in Lincoln Saturday. Lynn Leigh, with a 20 foot, 2 inch leap, won the broad jump. Jim Sargent took the high jump, crossing the bar at 5 feet 81/2 inches, and the mile relay team, John Jackson, John Stites, Kenneth Danneberg, and Lynn Leigh, garnered the third first in 3:38.9.
Other Kansas men who placed in the meet are, Richard Hudson, Norval Jackson, Harvey Morrow, James Thomas, Ronald Hayenga, and Rolland Hamilton.
Nebraska scored 51 points to the Jayhawkers 42, with only the first two places counting because of the reduced squads and manpower limitations. Dean Krantz, Big Six middle distance indoor king, won the 69-yard dash, the 440, and the 880. Norval Barker won the pole vault, Dick Miller the hurdles, and Ken Hollins, basketball and football letterman, tossed the shot 43 feet 2 inches for a first.
Ray Kaneh, Kansas track coach, remarked today that the manpower shortage mentioned in the write-ups of the meet evidently extended to the officials. Unofficial opinion was general that Jackson of Kansas won the 60-yard dash. Krantz, Kaneh said, had already congratulated Jackson and Danneberg when the officials came out of their huddle with the decision.
Ed Shive, PT 7, Is Heavyweight Champ
By a close decision. Ed Shive, PT 7, won the V-12 heavyweight championship over Melvin Liebau, PT 8, in Robinson gymnasium Saturday. Liebau was the more aggressive, carrying the fight, but he threw too many wild ones, Chief G. W. Gathings said this morning.
Chief Gathings announced the following fights on tomorrow's card in Robinson gymnasium, starting at 4:30.
Bantamweight
Jack Howell, PT 7, vs. Robert Weber, PT 8.
Lightweight
Vance Reynolds, PT 6, vs. Dick Laub, PT 8.
"V-12 Special" Weight
Light-heavyweight
Paul Finck, FT 7, vs. Bill Jenson, PT 10.
James Gray, PT 10, vs. Harry Hutchens, PT 7.
These are all finals and will wind up the intramural boxing, Chief Gathings said.
Lt. Millie Regier Is Dietitian in England
Second Lieutenant Millie M. Regier, 309 East First street, Newton, head dietitian at the 186 General Hospital in England, is responsible for the planning of all patients' meals so that their recoveries are speedily brought about, the headquarters, communications zone, European theater of operation of the United States army, reported.
"We have to plan meals for 1500 patients daily, so that they will be well balanced, tasty and nutritious," said Lt. Regier. "Beside that, many of our wounded soldiers must have special diets of varying types to help ensure their complete return to health."
Lt. Regier was graduated from the University in 1941, and served her internship at Beth Israel Hospital, Newark, New Jersey.
Daughter of Mrs. W. W. Regier, her cousin Marylou is a sophomore at the University.
Morrill Is Champion In Tennis, Ties Land For First in Points
Mary Morrill, Kappa Kappa Gamma, is champion of the women's intramural table tennis singles, and is tied with Lucille Land, A.D. Pi for first place in intramural individual points. Both women have 71 points.
The table tennis singles tournament which began around the time of the basketball season was finished when Morrill defeated Barbara Prier, Pi Phi, last week. Prier was the most serious threat to Morrill's chances of winning the championship.
Kappa's Lead in Points
The Kappa's now lead the teams in intramural points from the table tennis singles, with 99 points. The Pi Phi's are second with 64; the Theta'ts, third with 58; and the Chi Omega's hold down fourth place with 45 points. The other houses are Gamma Phi, 43; Tipperary, 40; Watkins hall, 40; A.D. Pii, 40; Lockesley, 38; I.W. W., 38; Miller hall, 35; Alpha Chi Omega, 35; A.O. Pi, 33; Harman Co-op, 30; I.N. D., 27; Sigma Kappa, 27; Foster hall, 18; Corbin hall, 18; and Delta Gamma, 14.
High Individual Scorers
The women who have earned the most individual intramural points are Morrill, Kappa, 51; Land, A. D. Pi, 71; Marjorie Free, Kappa, 66; Laveon Jacobson, I. W. W., 61; Kathryn O'Leary, Theta, 53; Mimi Nettles, Chi Omega, 51; Pat Sloan, A. O. Pi, 48; Barbara Sue McCluggage, Gamma Phi, 48; Barbara Winn, Pi Phi, 45; Marita Lenski, Tipperary, 42; Joan Lippelmann, Locksley, 40; Jean Boardman, Harman Co-op, 39; Betty Sanden, Delta Gamma, 34; Marjorie Kaff, Watkins, 32; Ruth Green, Miller hall, 31; Charlotte Price, I. N. D., 29; Betty Wahlstedt, Sigma Kappa, 28; Betty Sandborn, Corbin, 24; and Nancy Jack, Campus house, 15.
These summaries of intramural points include the badminton, tennis singles, volleyball, and table tennis singles.
Sportorials
By JIM MORDY
It is beginning to look as though Art Peterson, 6 foot 6 inch Nebraska center, may win the Big Six scoring title. The big boy hit 20 points as his Cornhusker mates bowed to Missouri by a 47 to 41 score. He has scored 79 points in 6 games for a 13.2 average. Jim Myers, Iowa State forward, is second with a 12.5 average.
Peterson scored 43 points in two games against the defensively weak Kansas State and Missouri clubs. In the other four games he has hit only 36 points. If he can keep his 9.0 average against the stronger clubs and pour in the baskets against the weaker teams, he may have just enough points to cop the scoring crown.
Olathe lost to Pittsburg Teachers last Thursday night by a 53 to 51 score. Walter Herkal scored 12 field goals for the Clippers, however, and will have to be watched. He plays a guard position.
Olathe Loses to Pittsburg
In the Olathe-Pittsburg game the Associated Press called the Pittsburg team Kansas State in their story, and several papers printed headlines to the effect that Kansas State had beaten Olathe by two points.
Pittsburg lost the night before to Washburn, 56 to 36. Washburn is rated about 4 points lower than Kansas in Dick Dunkle's national ratings. The Jayhawkers defeated the Ichabads rather easily by a 31 to 27 score, after losing 40 to 35 in an unorganized opener. On the basis of these scores, it looks like the Jayhawkers could win by anywhere from 10 to 20 points, although they may let up a bit since it is a non-conference game and there is no pressure on them.
The Jayhawkers initial track showing at Lincoln Saturday wasn't very promising. Track does not get enough backing from the student body or from the potential track athletes enrolled in the school.
Few Jayhawkers are interested enough in track to spend enough time each day to stay in condition.
Track is a much better conditioner than either football or basketball. A football or basketball player may be able to hide or cover up drinking, smoking, lack of sleep, or improper dietary habits, but they show up immediately in a trackster.
Gil Dodds, Boston miler, has been ordered by his doctors to run every day for several months, gradually tapering off the time spent each day until it becomes zero. Otherwise, they say serious injury might result to his heart, which is now accustomed to such strenuous exercise.
V-12 Swimming Meet Enters Final Round
The first round of the V-12 intramural 100 yards free style swimming meet was run off last Friday, with the final round scheduled for Thursday , Chief G. W. Getherings announced today.
First and second places are listed according to lowest participation time, and Phelps, PT 10, won the first round in 58 seconds.
Tuesday, Chief Gatherings said, an underwater swimming meet will be held to determine who can swim the longest distance underwater after submerging from the side of the pool, under timing.
The present V-12 intramural program will wind up this week, and the final points winner will be announced Friday. PT 7 is leading now, Chief Gathings, said.

Tournaments Planned In Table, Deck Tennis
Plans were made for a table tennis doubles tournament and for deck tennis, at a meeting of the women's intramural managers and Miss Ruth Hoover, director of women's intramurals, last week.
Each intramural team which wishes to enter the table tennis doubles should file an entry blank with Miss Hoover as soon as possible so the schedule can be made out soon. Deck tennis will not begin until second semester, but table tennis doubles will begin the last of this week, Miss Hoover said.
