Allen to Direct Intramurals
Allen to Will Move Into New Office At Semester's End
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, chairman of the department of physical education, will assume the duties of director of University intramural athletics with the beginning of the summer term later this month. He will succeed Henry Shenk, who was recently named track and football coach for the coming school year.
Dr. Allen's office will be moved from its present site to the room now occupied by Shenk. Shenk and Reginald Strait, third member of the physical education staff, will be situated in the outer intramural office. Dr. Allen's former office will be used as a storeroom for equipment and records. The new setup is expected to facilitate the work of the department staff members, and aid in the more efficient keeping of ahtletic and physical education records.
Dr. Allen stated that softball and basketball are possibilities for summer intramural activities. Basketball will be played only if the summer is comparatively cool.
There is a possibility, Dr. Allen said, that a twilight ball league will be organized, with at least one team from the University, one from Haskell, one from the Navy trainees, and one from the Naval Air Cadets competing.

SPORTS REMINISCENSE
Four years of following sports on the Campus—and what do we remember most vividly? In the world of football, who could forget on the Crimson and the Blue side the bullet passes of "Riflin" Ralph Miller, the savage tackling of all-American Ray Evans, the line-backing of Don Pierce, or the sturdy defensive play of Hub Ulrich? Also sticking in our minds are the color of Dick Amerine (at times too much of a showoff for some tastes), or the standout work of Quido Massare on woefully weak Kansas lines.
As for the opposition, we won't forget quickly the plunging of Vike Francis, the brilliant all-around play of Bill Schatzer, the poise of all-American Christman, and the terrific line play of Nebraska's Forrest Behm. Harry Ice, Bob Steuber, Bob Waldorf, Leonard Dugan, Al Klug, Bud Schwenk, Elmer Hackney, Herman Rohrig, and Harry Hopp are other gridmen we won't forget.
For the best game we witnessed in Memorial Stadium, we'll take the 1941 Kansas-Kansas State thriller, with this year's battle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers ranking high. As the strongest teams we've seen in Mount Oread, we'll take the Iowa Seahawks and the 1940 Nebraska Cornhuskers, with the 1941 Missouri Tigers close behind.
Basketball stars in Hoch auditorium have more often worn the Crimson and the Blue. Our favorite is still cool, collected Howard Engleman, the Houdini of the Courts. The dash of Ralph Miller, the heady play of Bob Allen, the guarding of Dick Harp, the defensive work and the ball-handling of Ray Evans, and the rebounding of Charley Black are not to be overlooked.
And when one thinks of the KU basketball teams, one always thinks first of its drive force—"Phog" Allen, and then not to be forgotten is trainer Dean Nesmith.
What was the best Kansas team we saw in action? We'll take this year's quintet, with the spirited 1939-40 aggregation a close second. As for opposing teams, the best we saw in Hoch auditorium was the 1940-41 Oklahoma team, and the 1942-43 Creighton five. Lonnie Eggleston of A and M was tops as an opposing player.
In track, we'll remember the 1940 Relays in which the Rideout twins beat out our own Glen Cunningham, and also the Relay high jumping of the Oklahoma Aggies' Don Boydston. As for the Jayhawk trackmen, we won't forget the high-jumping duo of Sanneman and Stoland, and also this year's Scoffield, the middle-distance running of "Churchie" Harris; and the performances of other boys such as Pollom, Farneti, Edwards, Foy, Bevens, Stannard, and Mathes.
As for baseball to us it's all pitcher Knute Kresie on the Crimson and Blue side, and those fine Leavenworth Reception Center teams with Oadis Swigart, former major-league pitcher, as the outstanding opposition.
Tennis once again recalls to our mind the slashing play of blond Howard Engleman, and that's just about enough reminiscing for one day.

Giraud Extends Invitation
Algiers, (INS) — Responding to Gen. Charles De Gaulle's request for direct and conclusive conversations regarding French unity, Gen. Henri Honore Giraud last night issued a formal invitation to the fighting French leader to visit North Africa after May 5.
"Phog" Plans More Play For Students
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, new intramural athletic director, in anticipation of increased interest in intramural sports following the war, today outlined a University program, which would emphasize conditioning for all Jayhawk students and faculty members.
Declaring that "the cost of equipment is the biggest obstacle
Declaring that "the cost of the students must meet before participating in body-building sports," he suggested that complete outfits for all sports be purchased by the University, and that such equipment be available free of charge to all students.
"Every student should be guaranteed at least one complete sports outfit per season." Allen said.
The equipment would be kept in a large storeroom, according to the new director's plan, and would be kept clean and sterilized. Such sports equipment as shoes, trunks, jerseys, tennis racquets, balls, bats, badminton racquets, golf clubs, horse shoes, football uniforms, baseball uniforms, and similar articles would be included in the equipment supply.
"In the past since 1937," Allen declared, "all improvements upon intramural facilities have been made from student funds. I think that the athletic funds should at least in part go to those who so loyally have supported our teams."
Dr. Allen estimated that a subsidy of $10,000 would be required to launch the program. He suggested that revenue from the athletic association be used to finance the program, pointing out 'that basketball this year turned in a profit.
During the years Allen served as director of athletics, a sum of $1,000 was annually taken from the varsity athletic revenues and given to the intramural setup, he added.
Dr. Allen also announced his support of the Stanford plan, by which faculty members are rohibited from keeping students in university buildings after 4 p.m. All time after that hour is free for recreation.
Pointing out that the new emphasis upon intramural athletics will require larger recreational grounds than those now available, Dr. Allen suggested the University - owned Robinson farm northeast of the city as a possible location for a new and larger playgrounds. He estimated that at least 100 acres of space would be required for the new program.
The farm is at present only in partial cultivation, with the proceeds from the land going to Bell Memorial hospital in Kansas City. The land stretches over an area of more than a thousand acres.
Dr. Allen envisaged upon the new
Be Patriotic in A NEW WAY-playgrounds an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, a swimming pool, game fields, a club house, bridle paths, and possibly a physio-therapy hospital for the reclamation of soldiers.
"I believe the program can be sold," declared Dr. Allen in suggesting that wealthy alumni, still interested in the welfare of the students of the University, might be induced to finance the huge program.
The physical education chairman also stressed that many Eastern universities — including Yale — have their recreational grounds located several miles from the University.

"Everybody is going to work less, and will play more following the war." Allen declared. "It is the right, and sensible thing to do. And it is going to take some planning to meet this new requirement upon our recreational facilities."
