By JIM MORDY
University of Kansas athletics in 1944 were not excessively brilliant. After four straight basketball conference championships or co-championships the Jayhawkers slipped to a tie for third with Missouri. The football season ended with the Jayhawkers tied for the cellar.
Bright spots were not entirely missing, however. The homecoming 20-0 victory over Nebraska, the showing of the track team in the Big Six outdoor meet, and the obtaining of E.C. "Ernic" Quigley as athletic director were the three best stories of the year.
Victory over N. U. in 1944
Breaking a 48 year dearth of victory over Nebraska at Lawrence, the Mt. Oread football team became the first seven to beat the Cornhuskers since 1916. As Coach Schenk told students at a pre-game pep rally, "The year 1944 will go down as the year that . . . the St. Louis Browns first won the American League pennant and the year that Kansas beat Nebraska."
Track Season Not Bad
Winning seven firsts to Iowa State's two, the Jayhawk tracksters climaxed Kansas' best season for several years. Iowa State's team power in accumulating seconds and thirds brought victory to them, scoring 67 points. Kansas scored $5^{1}$ points, however to finish easily ahead of Oklahoma with 34. This showing was a decided improvement over the indoor meet, in which they finished third, a bare two point victory over Nebraska, and defeats to Oklahoma and Iowa State in dual meets. Credit for this improvement goes to Coach Ray Kanehl, in his first season here, and to the hard work and daily practice of his squad. 'Quig' Will Make Change
Back to his alma mater after 42 years, "Ernie" Quigley returned in August to become director of athletics. Famous throughout the country as an official in all three major sports--football, baseball, and basketball—he is hard at work now reducing the stadium debt. His abilities should also be useful in strengthening Kansas' athletics after the war. With the adoption of the annual December faculty representatives meeting of legalized interviews, perhaps a significant trend has been started, at least.
Interviewing high school athletes and legalizing scholarships on an impartial basis between athletes and non-athletes, while not approaching the subsidization carried on in southern schools, may aid in preventing "poaching" of some Kansas high school stars, however Big Six schools are definitely not adopting a policy of high-pressured athletics.

Ace War Photographer
Bert Brandt, acclaimed by many as the greatest photographer of World War II, will speak at convocation on Jan. 8. A former student at the University, he was the first photographer to land on the Normandy beachhead. He got his pictures to London by "hitch-hiking" across the channel which made his the first invasion pictures available.
