Trackmen to Meet OU Saturday At Norman in First Outdoor Event
Outdoor track will open officially for the University Saturday when Coach Ray Kanehl enters his thin clads in a dual meet with Oklahoma at Norman. The squad will leave Lawrence Friday evening at 9:58 on the Santa Fe, with 15 players, Coach Kanehl and trainer Dean Nesmith included in the party.
Kansas has a schedule to participate in competition each weekend until May 20 except for April 22, the date of the Kansas high school meet at Lawrence. Then additional contests are being arranged by Coach Kanehil to take place after the Big Six outdoor meet at Lincoln May 20, which usually closes the season. Extension of the school term through the summer makes possible continued track competition.
Nine of the Crimson and Blue performers at Norman Saturday will be members of the Navy V-12 units and six are civilians. Coach Kanehl says that Navy transfers March 1 took most of his middle distance and distance talent so that he is short on men in those events. He would not venture a prophesy on the strength of the team as compared with Oklahoma. The Sooners placed fifth in the Big Six indoor meet last February 26 at Kansas City, which was not a true indication of their strength. Their numbers were decimated by illness and examinations. Kansas placed third in the meet, but their mile relay team lost that event to the spirited Sooners.
Coach Kanehl planned to enter the following contestants next Saturday:
Mile run: William Schell, Sophomore V-12, William Kans, Kans
Quarter Mile: Jim Richey, Sophomore, Atchison, Kans.; William Stewart, Sophomore V-12, Tacoma Wash.; and Lynn Leigh, Freshman V-12, Barley, Idaho.

Missionary to Show Movies on Tuesday

Upon leaving, he and two others were forced to travel by wagon for 1,000 miles westward to Kashgar then by horseback over 16,000-foot passes of the Himalayas to Kashmir
Everyone is invited, Miss Coomber, announced.

Mr. Thomas confined his afternoon address to a discussion of America's economic problems.
"People speak of being interested in free enterprise, but in reality there is no such thing," he stated.
Free enterprise is fostered by three principle groups, he maintained. These are the capitalists, the farmers, and the laborers, none of whom practice theoretical free enterprise.
"We must have some overall plan for post-war to bridge the gap between war and peace conditions," Mr. Thomas said.

Come to Hoch with the rest of the folk COME TO THE SPRING FLING
Sportorials By Charles Moffett
The sports world has produced many feuds of different kinds, but the most unusual one of all is being waged out in Colorado. Jack Carberry, sports editor of the Denver Post, and Ted Metzger, bureau chief for the Associated Press at Denver, are quibbling over "the rights and privileges of a girl sports writer." Carberry objects to Metzger's repeated efforts to send a girl sports writer into the press boxes of football stadiums and the press row at the Denver City auditorium, where the national A.A.U. basketball championship was staged March 19-25.
The bitter feud started last September when the football season opened. Metzger assigned Doris Blackmer to cover a game at the Denver University stadium. The young lady appeared with a press box ticket but was quickly ejected upon Carberry's demand. The Denver Post sports editor said the war was no excuse to change the tradition that the press box is exclusively for males, and the writers have the privilege of using their own kind of language in their own domain—and it's no language for a girl even if she purports to be a sports writer.
This caused a loud protest from Metzger to university officials but he was only to learn that control of the press box was in the hands of the Denver Sports Writers Association, of which Mr. Carberry was president. For a while, all was peaceful. But Metzger came out of his retreat on the night that the semi-finals of the national A.A.U. tourney was being played. He assigned Miss Marie Wilson to assist one of the AP reporters in covering the games. The young lady was admitted to the press row and began her work until Carberry discovered the gal in "no-woman's land." Whereupon Mr. Carberry kindly (?) told the girl the rule and she moved to the another part of the auditorium and another assistant was found for the AP writer.
Carberry later said that when he was covering a game, he didn't want to hear a lot of feminine chit-chat about fashions, new cooking recipes, and boy friends. If girl reporters were admitted, sports writers would start bringing their wives or sweethearts into the press boxes, and then no work could be done, said Carberry. He has even had the University of Colorado football officials print "No Women Admitted," and plans to do the same at Denver University.

Insurance Covers Loss
27 SAVED----
The Western Adjustment Company reported the building a total loss. Insurance amounted to $24,800 for the building and $3,000 for the contents of the building. No property was saved from the burning building except a few clothes. Mrs. Hoskinson saved a few rugs and an upholstered chair which were outside the building before the fire started.
Miss Audhris Rife, dietician, set up a kitchen when notified at 4 a.m. by M. N. Penny, welfare board member, and served breakfast to all the surviving members of the home this morning at the Community building. Red Cross workers were called out to help serve and make the people comfortable with cots and blankets from the supply room. Most of them were in nightclothes and barefooted when rescued.
GRANADA
Body Skinner, sheriff, received the report of the fire at 2:10 a.m.; when the fire department reached the building the roof had caved in and the buildings were doomed. The firemen kept the fire from spreading to surrounding buildings.
Mr. Hoskinson was warned of the fire by one of the occupants in the basement. Mrs. Hoskinson ran a quarter of a mile to the Wheadon farm to turn in the report. The phone at the county farm was out of order.

Baseball Practice Held Yesterday; Thirty-one Attend
Baseball practice was held yesterday for the first time this spring under the direction of the coach, Jack Austin. The workout was made possible by the fine weather, ideal for baseball, Coach Austin said.
Thirty-one men have checked out suits so far and more are expected out soon. Of those now out 21 are navy trainees and 10 are civilians. Coach Austin has no ideas as yet concerning the strength of the squad, but plans to hold intensive work-outs at least five days a week.
No definite schedule has been made yet, but authorities are arranging a tentative one to be confirmed later.
