V-12's, All-Stars Meet Tomorrow
Starting lineups for the V-12 vs. All Star game which will close the Lawrence Community Basketball League have been selected, Chief Yeoman Starkey, manager of the league and coach of the All-Star team, announced today.
Of the thirteen men picked by Chief Starkey as the All-Stars of the league, other than the V-12s, the Irish Rascals, with five men, two on the starting line-up, have contributed heaviest to the roster. The other men are divided more evenly between the five remaining teams.
The game, to be played in the Lawrence Community building court at 8 p.m. Thursday, will find the undefeated V-12 squad coached by Ens. H. L. Ware, opposed by the cream of other six teams of the league.
The V-12 starting line-up, averaging over 6'1" will, with the exception of John Schimen, a Milwaukee boy new to the V-12 unit here, be composed of regular V-12 starters during the season. Schimenz, with his steady floor play and passing ability, has added greatly to the already strong offensive V-12 power.
Dr. F. C. Allen, University physical education director, and A. E. Woestemeyer, of the Lawrence Journal World, will officiate the game. Chief Starkey announced that unlike other league games, an admission would be charged for the all star game, forty cents for civilians and 25 cents for service men—the proceeds to go for a dinner for all the players of the league. Plans are also being made for a Red Cross collection during the half.
The starting line-ups:
All-Stars V-12
Koskela—MM Scott
Allen (Mitt)-Irish Rascals Pyle
Hoke—S.O.W. Ads Lutz
Hagerdorn—Ship's Co. Schimenz
Hare-Irish Rascals Heim
Other All Star players are: Smith, Blanks; Rogers, Irish Rascals; Flickinger, Machinist's Mates; Buck, Irish Rascals; Pittman, S.O.W. Tech; Pahl, Ship's Company; and Owen, Irish Rascals.
Openings Still Exist In Band, Orchestra
Seven vacancies still exist in the band and orchestra, Prof. Russell L. Wiley, director of the University band and orchestra, said today, after a week of trouts.
One French horn player and three tuba players are needed in the band, Professor Wiley said, while the orchestra needs one tuba, one French horn, and one string bass player.
"I will be very happy if I can get those," commented Professor Wiley. "However, this does not close the door to other musicians. I will give tryouts to any musician who so desires."
The concerts for both the band and orchestra will be presented either the last week of May or the first week of June, Professor Wiley added.
New Students Are Taking Physical Examinations
Physical examinations are being given at Watkins Memorial hospital to all new students entering the University. Most of the examinations were given Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon last week. The remaining will be given in the students' free periods.
Appointments for examinations were made at the registrar's office when the new students enrolled.

Sportorials By Charles Moffett
The war has brought many strange changes on the sports front. One of the most recent examples is in the coming NCAA tournament at Kansas City, March 24-25. The teams entered in the tourney are Pepperdine College of Los Angeles, Arkansas, Iowa State and Missouri.
in normal times Pepperdine College would be entered in the Intercollegiate tournament, also held in Kansas City, for smaller schools and would no doubt make a fine showing. But now Pepperdine is representing the Pacific Coast in the spot usually occupied by Southern California, Stanford, California, Washington, or one of the other West Coast schools. The winner of the southern division of the Pacific Coast Conference would play the northern division winner in a play-off game to decide who would make the trip to K.C. From the season's record Pepperdine apparently has a fine team and could by winning the western division play-off, put the school "on the map."
Arkansas is representing the Southwest at Kansas City. In early season the Razorbacks were undefeated and made a successful trip back East. However, Pittsburgh State Teachers beat them late in the season and Kansas and Washburn hold victories over Pittsburg. So the strength of Arkansas is doubtful, although the addition of a six-foot ten-inch giant to the squad may be very helpful.
From the fifth district, consisting of the Missouri Valley conference and the Big Six, comes the strangest change. Two teams, both from the Big Six, are the other two contenders for the play-off title. Ordinarily the champion of the Missouri Valley and the Big Six would meet in a game to decide which one would represent the fifth district at Kansas City. The Oklahoma Aggies were invited to the Invitational tournament at New York City, so that left the bid open to the Iowa State team. The Cyclones first declined the offer because of Navy
Now Ready—New Spring Clothes--regulations, but when asked again finally accepted. What caused the sudden lifting of the Navy's regulations is still a mystery.

Iowa University was chosen to take the place of Utah, the Rocky Mountain conference representative. Iowa would have made an excellent substitute, as it took second place in the Big Ten and had a fine season's record. But army calls forced them to withdraw from the tournament. This left the door open for Missouri and the Tigers accepted. They began preparing their all-civilian team for the play-off.
Max Hughes, a candidate in June for the Master of Music degree in piano, will present his graduate recital in Fraser theater tonight at 8 p.m.
So, if nothing more happens before tourney time, Pepperdine, Arkansas, Iowa State, and Missouri will compete for the honor to meet the Eastern division champ. The Kansas City affair definitely will not have the strongest teams this year because of the war, but NCAA officials have been persistent in obtaining teams, and a great amount of credit is due them for overcoming numerous obstacles and going ahead and putting on the tournament in spite of everything.
Hughes Will Present Piano Recital Tonight
Hughes, a pupil from the studio of D. M. Swarthout, Dean of the School of Fine Arts, is the recipient of a fellowship from the Graduate School as well as a Lawrence Music Club scholarship. He recently presented a program before that organization.
