Sport Chatter
By Bob Bock
Yesterday was the big day for Coach Shenk, for he gos his first impse of the clay with which he will mold the crimson and blue e-leven this fall. Previous to yesterday, he knew only about those navy trainees who had been on last year's freshman squad here, and also a few high school stars in this territory who are also in V-12, besides a few civilian boys. Except for Palmer; star freshman halfback at Iowa University last year, and a few other boys including a good guard from Wyoming, Coach Shenk had no idea of what the quality was of his out of state Navy boys. Only two lettermen—Junius Penny and Grant Hunter are back.

Down at O.U. when Coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster asked for all those who were interested in playing college football to step up at a mass meeting of the 494 cadets, 92 stepped forward. They were pretty light, and only 13 of them had ever played college or junior college football before. With this crew, and with one letterman, Boone Baker, a classy wingback, three freshmen and six lads fresh out of high school, Luster started the Sooner's summer practice sessions which began last Thursday.
\* \* \*
Here at the University Coach Shenk expects around 50 of the Navy boys—about that number signed up that they were interested—and a few others, probably around sixty in all, to report. Practices, which will be held on the field east of the stadium, will naturally be light for the first week, with lots of running, passing, and other drills to get the men rounded into shape for the more intense and heavy workouts which are to come later on. A complete list of the summer squad will be published on this page in Friday's Kansan.

Waiting a week until football gets well under way, Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen will then begin twice weekly basketball drills with the first practice scheduled for Tuesday evening, July 20, at 7:30 in Robinson gymnasium. From then on practices will be held twice weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 until 9:00. Since most of the players upon whom Dr. Allen is counting are young and have never played under him, Dr. Allen will begin with teaching offense, working with each player individually but stressing competition all the while. Both individual offensive and defensive drills will come before goal shooting and team offensive drills will be held. Like summer football, summer basketball practices are an innovation here.
Those players about whom Dr. Allen already knows are the men who showed up well in the Victory Intramural League just finished a few weeks ago. Those boys who starred in intramural ball and who are not in the naval program who are expected out are Moffett, Maury, Bob and Bill Mathews, Bock, pitchie, Corder, and several others, most all of whom are young. then there are many boys in V-12 who are expected to come out and they include Don Diehl, Kirk Scott, Edwin Pyle, and many others from all parts of the country. All boys—
Dean Says Browns To Win Flag
Ames, Iowa—If Dizzy Dean is as good a prophet in 1943 as he proved in 1942 then the St. Louis Browns will finally win an American League baseball pennant.
Last summer when intervieweed over Station WOI, the broadcasting service of Iowa State College, the former hurling star of the St. Louis Cardinals forecast the National League and World Series victories of his former mates—at a time when the Redbirds were some seven games out of first place. As every sport fan knows the Cards closed with a rush and then swamped the New York Yankees, four games to one.
Earlier this week in a telephone conversation with John O'Donnell, sports editor of the Davenport Democrat, Dean said the Browns would meet the Cardinals in the world series. He further added that the Browns had a good chance to beat the world champions.
It is of historical interest that the St. Louis team is the only club in the American league which has never won the loop pennant.
Graduate Working For Westinghouse
Victor Valle Schloesser of Frederonia, 43 graduate of the University, has joined the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company at Pittsburgh, Pa., as a member of the company's graduate student course.
One of the more than 250 men selected from colleges and universities throughout the country, Schloesser is receiving engineering and classroom instruction designed to fit him for active participation in the company's war production program and for future leadership in the electrical industry, according to Westinghouse officials.
While in college he was president Tau Sigma fraternities and was also elected to Sigma Tau and the Pan-Hellenic council.
Schloesser was graduated from the University with a degree in of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Pi mechanical engineering.
He participated in track events and obtained two varsity track letters. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor V. Schloesser, 1003 Jefferson Street, Fredonia.
The following is taken from the sport column in the Lawrence Journal-World:
both civilian students and navy students—are urged by Dr. Allen to come out for summer basketball
"Dr. F. C. Allen, the illustrious crimson and blue basketball coach, apparently plans to retire when he reaches the age of 65 years, which will be in about 7 more years. 'Phog' recently bet two of his coworkers a box of cigars he would quit when he reaches the retirement age. He also adds that he will bet anyone else a suit of clothes he will retire at that time. When asked what he would do after he retired, he replied, 'I will have a good time enjoying life.'

60 Gridders Out At Iowa State
Michalske, who is spending about 10 days on the Iowa State campus, said he was well pleased with the progress of the squad under Louis Menze, assistant football coach who has been directing the summer drills. Michalske felt the men were in good condition and that they seemed to be mastering the offensive system he plans to use in the fall.
Ames, Iowa—Some 60 Iowa State football players worked out Thursday night under the critical eye of Head Coach Mike Michalske for the first time this summer and were given praise and advice by the Cyclone coach.
The Cyclone coach, who will be back on the campus again when drills begin in the fall, has been conducting his summer boys camp near Green Bay, Wis.
At present 60 men have signed for the first summer football practice ever held at Iowa State. The main emphasis so far has been on conditioning, passing, punting, and becoming familiar with the offensive patterns outlined by Michalske.
The present Cyclone schedule calls for Iowa State to travel to Lawrence, Oct. 9, for the opening contest with the University of Kansas. Five other games, four with other Big Six schools, are on the schedule.
The Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, graduated 72 synthetic rubber chemists recently, said to be among the first of this fast-growing profession.

Military Use Pool In Robinson Gym
Swimming is such an essential part of the military training programs on the campus that there appears to be little or no time for student recreational use of the Robinson gym pool, according to Dr. F. C. Allen.
"I recommend that students who wish to swim use one of the local lakes or pools. However," he continued, "if it is at all possible, we will try to schedule a specific time when they may use the University pool."
"At the present time, the Navy V-12 and machinist's mates have practically the full use of the pool," stated Dr. Allen, "but when the Army comes August 1 an adjustment will have to be made."
