Shenk May Not Have Much Grid Coaching To Do
Although Henry Shenk has been appointed to fill the football coaching position vacated by the resignation of Gwinn Henry, he may have little football coaching to do next fall if other scheduled games suffer the same fate as did the Texas Christian-Kansas game.
In announcing the game's postponement for the duration, Karl Klooz, acting director of the University Athletic association, stated that there was no discussion of cancellation on the part of authorities of either school, and that athletic relations would be resumed after the war.
The contract between K. U. and the Texans was originally a two year home and home agreement. The Jayhawkers went to Ft. Worth last October 10 where they were defeated by the Horned Frogs, 41 to 6.
Dr. Forrest'C. "Phog" Allen, baseball coach and director of the department of physical education, announced today that conditions seem to make it inadvisable to attempt to carry on varsity baseball. One of the chief reasons for dropping baseball, Allen pointed out, is the difficulty of scheduling games. It was anticipated, originally, that a $ ^{*} $
large share of the schedule would be arranged with service teams, but Dr. Allen stated that the Reception Center at Leavenworth, and the Naval School for Machinists' mates at Lawrence, had not as yet started baseball practice.
Tuesday's games, 4:30 p.m.
Dr. Allen indicated that in the first baseball practice session at the University, it was evident that the war psychology is having a definite effect in intercollegiate sports. That, he pointed out was very much in evidence during the closing days of the basketball season. Armand Dixon, for instance, left two days before the crucial Oklahoma game, although he was not due to report for service until a couple of weeks later.
Fiji's Beat Sigma Chi; Beta's Shade Templin
Triangle vs. Sigma Nu; Theta Tau vs. John Moore Coop Phi Kappa Psi vs. Delta Tau Delta; ATO vs. Beta Theta Pi
Bob Hodgson pitched Phi Gamma Delta to a five-inning victory over Sigma Chi by a score of 13 to 3 in one of yesterday morning's two intramural softball games. The Phi Gam third and fourth inning drive, in which eleven runs were scored proved fatal to the late-starting Sigma Chi's whose only runs came in the fourth and fifth innings.
In the other game, Beta Theta Pi shaded Templin Hall by a score of 4 to 3. Templin's three runs were made in the fourth inning, while the Beta runs came in the third, sixth, and seventh innings. The score was tied until the last half of the seventh inning.
The Alpha Chi Sigma-Phi Delta
Theta game was postponed until
Wednesday and the Delta Upsilon-
Beta "B" game was postponed indefinitely.

WIN THE WAR — BUY BONDS
For the Missouri game at Columbia, all-American guard Ray Evans decided at the last moment to pass up this important game, but on second consideration caught the train the following morning and arrived in Columbia in time to help win the game. Most of the boys passed up the Creighton game, but returned for the final contest against the Kansas Aggies.
Dr. Allen was entirely in sympathy with the boys' attitudes of putting the war ahead of intercollegiate athletics. He pointed out, however, that there was a definite defection from former firm adherence to athletic loyalties and competition in the more important problem of winning the war. As the war continues, this lessened interest will become more pronounced. Consequently, the Doctor doesn't expect much of intercollegiate athletics until the war is won.
In the meantime, arrangements are going ahead for the important intramural baseball plans for the summer semester and regular summer session at the University.
