Spring football practice began yesterday afternoon with sessions to be held five days a week for about a month. Approximately forty men reported to Coachs Henry Shenk, Elmer Schaake, and Dean Nesmith. More men are expected to report in the next few days.
Spring Practice Began Yesterday
The workouts will consist mostly of learning fundamentals, and a lot of good hard-blocking and tackling, two things Coach Shenk insists upon for his teams. Suits were donned yesterday and contact work will probably get under way soon. The spring practice will give the coaching staff an idea of the material available for next fall's campaign, as many new men are reporting while several of last year's regulars have been transferred in the navy program. Several lettermen and other prospects are out for track and will not participate in the practice.
A rugged 10-game schedule is being made for the Jayhawks, with teams such as Denver, Washburn, and Texas Christian being considered for the schedule besides the regular Big Six contests.

Spring training is now in fun swing at baseball camps all over the country. Exhibition games are beginning to get in full swing with the players slowly rounding into shape. The managers of all the big league teams are going to be in for a rough season, with players becoming 1-A and going to the army as the pennant race progresses. The club with the most 4-F's will at least have one advantage over the other teams. The utility player, the man that can play several positions and play them well, will be the most valuable to his team and manager. Infielders will have to learn to play outfield and outfielders the infield, and pitchers may even have to catch on their off days. About the only position where there is no really acute shortage of men is at the pitching position. The developments that occur as the title race gets going will be interesting to watch as the Great American Game prepares to begin and finish another thrilling season.
Phillips "66" of Bartlesville, Okla., annual stalwarts in AAU cage circles, won its second consecutive national AAU basketball title Saturday night with a hard-earned 50 to 43 victory over Denver Ambrose-Legion. The Phillip's team this year was one of the most high scoring quintets to come out of Bartlesville in years. Pralle, McNatt, Browning, and Co. seemed to have the ability this year to get a basket whenever there was a need for one. The defense was probably not as good as in former years, but when points were needed the "66" lads always came through, usually with a victory.
The Iowa State baseball squad has been cut to 35 men from the 150 candidates who first reported. Coach Clayton Sutherland has only two lettermen from 1943 — one navy trainee and one civilian, but a strong

Independents Win Deck Tennis Match
The Independents and I.W.W. teams won in the two deck tennis games played last night in the women's intramural tuornament.
Independents scored 35 points to win from the Co-op team, whose players made 23 points. Marian Eisele, Vera Strobel, and Mary Hughes were the outstanding players for the Independents. Lois Harkleroad and Charlotte Price led the Co-op team.
I. W.W. and Etc played the second game in the tournament last night. Scoring 43 points, the Etc won. I.W.W. made 23 points.
team is expected to emerge from the Cyclone camp.
Another war-caused change has been made by the NCAA officials. Dartmouth and Utah play tonight in the East-West final of the NCAA, but no matter who wins, Utah will play St. Johns, winner of the national invitational tourney. The reason is an old one; the Dartmouth team was unable to obtain permission to appear in the Red Cross game because of navy regulations. Utah, an all-civilian team, has again stepped into the limelight. When beaten by Kentucky in the invitational tournament at New York, they accepted a last-minute bid to participate in the western division play-offs of the NCAA and won. Now they can go back to the East and take up where they left off.
The Utes are probably the first team to ever play in two tournaments, win one and play the winner of the other for the national title, all this even if they lose the Dartmouth game. Another queer situation emerging from a sports war-world.

A special Easter service was discussed and is to be planned under the direction of a committee to be selected soon by the executive committee.
Doris Bixby, College sophomore, was chosen temporary chairman of the Student Christian Federation by representatives of student religious organizations in a meeting at Myers hall last week. Also chosen to serve on the temporary executive committee were Robert Stewart, College freshman, vice-chairman; and Florence Helmke, College senior, secretary-treasurer.
