SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE THREE
Sport Chatter
By Bob Bock
Elmer Schaake, Vernon Hayes,
and Howard Porter, new members
of the physical education depart-
ment, will report before August 9
so as to be ready to assist with army
physical conditioning classes begin-
ning at that date when some 700
A-12 boys will be on the campus.
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of phys-
ical education at the University,
will now have a staff of seven assis-
tants, the present four being Reginald
Strait, Henry Shenk, Dean Nesmith
and Ray Kanehl.
Some 60 football coaches and athletic directors met in New York last week to try to see if it could be someway arranged so that army specialized training program trainees could participate on their athletic teams.
Unlike the navy trainees who are permitted to compete if it does not interfere with their studies, army men have been banned from competition in intercollegiate thetics. However, Rep. Samuel Weiss of Pennsylvania, announced in Washington that he had received a letter from President Roosevelt that initiated a possible reconsideration of order.
Army A-12 students are required to take six hours of physical training weekly, in addition to 24 hours of classes, 24 hours of supervised study and six hours of military drill. Just when they could find time to participate in football seems extremely doubtful, since the only way it could be worked out would be to revise the scholastic programs so that the six hours could be devoted to football practice. The way it is now, physical education classes are held at odd hours from morning to night and it would be very difficult to arrange it so the football players could go out at the same period of the day.
However, Asa Bushnell, head of the eastern office for intercollegiate athletics, has outlined a program that Maj. Gen. Phillip B. Fleming of the Federal Works Agency, and former graduate manager of athletics of the U. S. Military Academy, calls sound it is worthy of war department study and should be presented to the President's three-man ports committee when it is named." All this dickering may get college officials somewhere, but it is extremely doubtful as the war department has already considered it closed matter. If army officials could give the green light to the 12 trainees, Coach Henry Shenk were at the University would have had 700 more men from whom to choose and there would probably be several good boys. However, since he A-12 men here are all between 18 and 18 and just out of high school they could not be counted on to help out too much because of their youth and inexperience.
In meeting Washburn, first on october 24 in Topeka and then on October 16 here, K. U. will renew lations with one of its most ancient rivals. The two schools have met on the gridiron since 1938, when Kansas won by a big margin. Washburn Coach Bob Raugh says he has so many boys out for summer practice that he's running short shoes and other equipment. Sevvy hopefuls have checked out uniforms and 36 more have indicated they would report for summer drills. All have had high school or college grid experience, but only four are Washburn lettermen.
Schaake Put On Grid Staff
Elmer Schaake, quarterback on the K.U. football teams of 1930, '31, and '32 and all-Big Six quarterback, has been appointed to the staff of the physical education department as assistant to football coach Henry Shenk. For the past five years Schaake has been coaching at Lawrence Liberty Memorial high school.
Also appointed to the physical education staff were Vernon Hayes, former coach at Waterville high school and graduate of Washburn University, and Howard Porter, University of Kansas graduate who has been an instructor in the Kansas City, Kan., school system.
The new assistant coach played one season of professional football in 1933 with the Fortsmouth, Ohio, "Spartans." He is a graduate of Central Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg, Mo. From 1934 to 1938 he was director of physical education and head coach at Bethany College.
LAST VESPERS----
(continued from page one) used. The trio gave excellent interpretation of the number.
Meribah Moore and Irene Peabody of the Fine Arts voice faculty next sang the melodious "Quis est homo" from the Rossini "Stabat Mater." With Ruth Orcutt supplying the piano background the two artists presented the duet with finesse.
The colorful opening movement of the Dvorak Quintet, Opus 81, came next with Jan Chiapusso at the piano and with Waldemar Geltch, first violin; Frances Robinson, second violin; Barbara Huls, viola; and D. M. Swarthout, cello.
The choir closed the program with a varied group of four numbers comprising an opening Russian selection by Kopylof "Hear My Prayer"; a lilting Kentucky mountain tune, "Pretty Little Miss"; an attractive arrangement of the well-known Irish folk song "By Bendemeer's Stream" and a rollicking spiritual arrangement of "By And By." The details of expression were especially well followed by the choir in the Irish folk song and the negro spiritual.
The Signal Corps installs, operates and maintains all the communications systems used by the Army.
Like it is here, most of Washburn's players are navy trainees, and with perhaps as many V-12 men as we have they probably will be anything but a pushover come this fall. In fact, as Freddy Mendell says in the Hutchinson News-Herald, "Who can be sure, now, that Washburn won't be tougher than Nebraska."
AWARDS----
Falling in line with the University of Kansas in inaugurating summer basketball practice, Coach Bruce Drake, of the University of Oklahoma has announced a brief summer cage drill starting sometime this week.
