Centaurs Meet Varsity Tonight In Basketball
The Fort Riley Centaurs will be the opponents tonight in Hoch auditorium as the Jayhawks strive for their third victory over a service fee and their sixth for the season.
But if the cavalrymen have anything to say about it—Kansas is in for a tough evening. In defeating the Kansas University naval training quintet, 54 to 25, the other night, CRTC presented two top notch basket shooters in George Wendell, formerly of St. Benedict's, who scored 19 points, and Kansas own Dick Harp, who counted for 15 markers.
The CRTC lineup features two former KU cage luminaries—Jack Ballard, 6 foot seven inch forward who starred on the ever-victorious Big Six Champions of 1942-43, and Dick Harp, whose work in the NCAA tournament finals in 1940 ranked him as one of KU's all time greats. Ballard's work in the final game against the University of Oklahoma last year—the finest of his career—will be long remembered by KU fans.
Harp Led to Championshi
In 1940, when Kansas met Hank Iba's Oklahoma Aggies in the NCAA playoffs in Oklahoma City, it was Harp's goal from a guard position hat won the NCAA berth for Kansas in a torrid over-time battle. The two teams had been deadlocked at he half, 20-all, and still locked at the end of regulation playing time, with 40 tallies each. In the overtime period, Harp arched a long one through for the crimson and the blue, and with it the right to represent this region in the Western NCAA finals.
KU went to the NCAA finals by defeating Southern California, in a game in which Harp from a guard post, outscored Vaughan, USC's sensational all-American forward. Coached By John T. Moore
The Centaurs are coached by Lt John T. Moore, and assisted by Capt. Beryl S. Taylor, who was on the physical education staff at Iowa State College before entering the service.
Lincoln, KC For Big Six Track Meets
The Big Six faculty representatives in their meeting last Friday decided that the Big Six indoor track meet would be held in the Municipal auditorium, Kansas City and that the outdoor meet is to be held May 20, at Lincoln, Neb.
There has been no official coaching assignment for track here as yet. Henry Shenk, head football coach, directed track and field here last year. Ray Kanehl, a recent addition to the physical education staff, has also had no little success as a track coach. His Wichita Blue Aces were state champions last year and were undefeated in all of their meets.
Two Lettermen Back
Two lettermen back from last year are Tom Schofield, high jumper, and Frank Stannard, hurdler. Among the brighter prospects are these men from last year's team: Harry Johnson, broad jump and the dashes; Warren Jacks, 880 and mile; Junius Penny, Charles Keller, and Frank Gage, the shot; Jim Walker, pole vault; Clark Hargiss and Joe Gray, hurdles; and George Rhoades, the 440.
Reigle, Robison Show Promise
Some of the newcomers who should go places are Jim Richey, Walter Isaacson, and Bob White in the dashes; Marvin Baldwin, in the 880 and mile; Joe Dickey, broad jump and shot; John Bergin, in the hurdles; and Harold Moser, in the pole vault.
When the outdoor season begins, Warren Reilgle and LeRoy Robison should show well in the discus and javelin.

Coach Dee Erickson of the Ichabods gladly accepted the opportunity to play. The pairings will be announced later.
Washington, (INS)—Brig. Gen. Frank T Hines, administrator of veterans affairs, announced today that application for almost 100 billion dollars worth of National Service Life Insurance have been received from members of the armed forces.
