Sporting News Honors Black
Charley Black was elected to another All-America basketball team yesterday.
The angular forward, pride of last season's Jayhawk squad, received one of the greatest honors an American basketball player can receive when he was named on the Sporting News 1942-43 team the running mate at forward of the great Andy Phillip of Illinois, shatterer of Big Ten scoring records and the Sporting News' player of the year.
The team picked by the leading sports publication in the nation emphasized scoring and height. Harry Boykoff of St. John's was given the center berth. Boykoff paced St. John's to the championship of the National Invitational Tournament in Madison Square Garden a few weeks ago.
Guards were George Senesky of St. Joseph's who gave the Jayhawks no end of trouble on their blazing Eastern trip last winter. Ken Sailors, Wyoming's sparkling playmaker, was the other guard. The Wyoming team won the NCAA and went on to defeat St. John's, winner of the National Invitational. Otto Graham, Northwestern, was a spare member of the team. The second and third team choices follow:
Second team—Davage Minor, Toledo, and John Hargis, Texas, forwards; Tom Close, Rice, center; Bob Rensberger, Notre Dame, and Bob Mullens, Fordham, guards; and Don Durdan, Oregon, spare.
Third team—Gene Rock, Southern California, and Gail Bishop, Washington State forwards; Ed Beisser, Creighton, center; Joe Walthall, West Virginia, and Stan Skaug, Dartmouth, guards; and Bob Faught, Notre Dame, spare.
The intramural golf singles championship was decided yesterday afternoon when Paul Turner, Sigma Phi Epsilon, defeated Jack Hines, Delta Upsilon, in two out of three rounds.

game that featured two home runs, one by Paul Turner and the other by Kappleman. Rock Chalk led by pitcher Tom Manion, scored all their runs in the fourth inning.
Athletic Board Asked Shenk To Take Position
In order to assure that the University of Kansas will be in position to participate in whatever football program may be possible under conditions as they will exist next fall, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced that Henry Shenk, of the department of physical education, has been asked by the Athletic Board to serve as football coach for next year.
Shenk is a graduate of the University with the class of 1928, in physical education. He lettered in football in 1926 and 1927, and achieved football immortality on Mt. Oread in the Missouri game of 1927. Following graduation, he served as coach of all sports at Paola high school for two years. He then went to Junction City where he coached all sports for eleven years until he was called back to the University in the fall of 1940.
Henry Shenk
At Junction City, Shenk's team won five championships of the Central Kansas League in his tenure as director of the Blue Jay's athletic destinies.

NO SPRING FOOTBALL GAME
Plans for the prospective spring football game between the practice squads of Nebraska and Missouri have been abandoned because of the inability to find a date agreeable to both teams. Although it may have been a good idea to play such a game as the last game for many of the gridsters who are going into the Service at the end of this semester, we doubt if much interest and enthusiasm could have been excited among members of the student bodies of the two schools.

Unlike the Big Six which scrapped its baseball program for the duration, the Big Ten is going on schedule and will play out its season in so far as transportation facilities will permit. The Big Ten schools seem to have had not too much difficulty in scraping up enough good material to produce several promising teams, among which are Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa.
BASEBALL IN BIG TEN
The Minnesota baseball coach, Dave MacMillan, has over 40 men out for the sport, an amazingly large number especially when you consider the small number of Kansas players who are practicing regularly in hopes of scheduling a few games with worthy opponents within forty miles of Lawrence.
Big Ten basketball players made 60 percent of all their free throws during the past season, sinking 1,065 out of 1,761 try . . . Cornelius Warmerdam, the Flying Dutchman, has established a new pole vault record of 15 feet. $ 8_{1/2} $ inches . . . Greg Rice, who has a 4-F draft classification because of a triple hernia, has won 63 consecutive distance races . . .
