INTRAMURAL SPORTS CONTINUE
Intramural sports are continuing on the campus despite a constant drain on the manpower supply by various branches of the Service.
Tonight in the pool in Robinson gymnasium the preliminaries of the men's intramural swim meet begin at 4:30 o'clock. Although the caliber of competition is not what it has been in the past few years, interest in the meet has not dwindled.
"CARRY ON"

"Carry on" is the motto that has been adopted by the department of physical education—at least for the remainder of the present semester. And that is just what is being done along all lines of intramural sports. Fewer teams will be competing in the spring sports, track, softball, handball, tennis, horseshoes, and golf, but at least those men remaining on the campus, who do not care for varsity track or baseball, will have a chance to use up their extra energy by participating in and making the most of the intramural sports.
SPORTS NEXT YEAR
If there are any men left on the campus at all next year, it is likely that the department of physical education will form an athletic conference from teams made up of members of the student body. This conference with teams organized for the whole school year, would have its own football, basketball, and softball teams. Each team would have for its coach some physical education faculty member.
If such a plan were carried out for the duration, then, when the war is over and University functions return to normal, it would be easy to switch over to sports on a large scale with competition again between the present members of the Big Six.
Invitations Are Sent for HS Meet
Invitations have been put in the mails to Kansas high schools for the 39th annual interscholastic track and field meet to be held in Memorial stadium at the University of Kansas on Saturday, April 17. This meet, ordinarily held the day before the annual Kansas Relays, will be staged alone this year since the
Relays have been cancelled because of war exigencies.
In spite of demands of the war, athletic officials at the University are expecting a flashy list of entries for this 39th staging of the interscholastic games. The cream of the track talent from the eastern half of the state is expected to be present in Memorial stadium on April 17, and it is hoped that Hutchinson, Wichita East and North, and other strong teams from the western counties will be here.
Last year's team champion in the class A division was Hutchinson with 30 points, closely pressed by Wichita East, with 27. Topeka was third, Atchison, fourth, with Wellington, Ft. Scott, Wyandotte, Pittsburg, Leavenworth, Clay Center, ElDorado, Shawnee-Mission, Bonner Springs, Iola and Wichita North following in that order. The Salthawks from Hutchinson, were paced by Mente Waldecker, who finished first in three dash events. It was Hutchinson's second team championship in as many years.
Class B honors last year went to Mount Hope, with 28 1-2 points, only one and a half points in front of Enterprise which gathered 26. Ashland with their ace sprinter Grimes copping the three dash trophies, finished third with 17 points. Following in order were Baldwin, Blue Rapids, Overbrook, Valley Falls, Peabody, and the Kansas School for the Deaf.

Norcross Leads Broadjumpers
Ames, Iowa.—According to an Associated Press poll Everett Norcross, Iowa State College junior from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., is the leading broadjumper in the nation.
The survey lists the 23 feet 4 3/4 inch jump which set a new Big Six record at Kansas City last month, as the best mark made in a major meet this year.
Norcross will have no chance to improve on his national leadership since he is scheduled to report to the army next month with other members of his junior ROTC class. He has not been beaten in his pet event this year.
Little Hope For Big Six Competition
College Woman Gets More Than Just Fruit When Picking Apples
A torn scrap of newspaper has resulted in a correspondence between Anne Bolivar, Westminster college co-ed, and United States army sergeant 6,000 miles away in New Guinea.
Prospects for varsity baseball competition with other Big Six teams are very remote, Forrest C. Allen, baseball coach, announced today.
However, several games will probably be scheduled with the Fort Leavenworth team with whom Ray Evans and Otto Schnellbacher, former Jayhawker basketball stars, are already practicing. The Army nine has scheduled several games with the Kansas City Blues of the American Association.
Plans are being worked out whereby the Jayhawkers will play a team from the Naval Machinist's Mates Training School on the local diamond. The sailors haven't begun any regular baseball practice because many of them are still playing basketball.
The Kansas squad is short on material again this year as it has been in other years when the Jayhawkers seldom finish in the first division.
It all started when the sergeant found Anne's picture on a piece of old American newspaper in the steaming, rain-soaked jungle. Since he hadn't seen a woman in a long time, the sergeant decided to write to the pretty co-ed.
Short on Material
The last five seasons Kansas has never finished higher than third place in Big Six standings. In 1938 with Ralph Conger coaching the squad, Kansas finished in last place with a record of three victories against eight defeats. The next year, however, Conger produced a good team which finished the season in third place. This 1930队 was the best Kansas team which has been seen in recent years.
In 1940 Mike Getto, former freshman football coach, took over the duties as coach of the baseball team. The Kansas nine failed to click and, as a result, finished in the cellar
The men's intramural swim meet, with only 14 teams entered, got under way this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock when the preliminaries were run off in the pool of Robinson gymnasium.

CARL'S
"Phog" Allen, varsity basketball coach, began coaching the team in 1941 and with only a few talented players that year, the Jayhawkers managed to keep out of last place in conference standings.
Last year Allen's men wound up the baseball season in fourth place ahead of Nebraska and Iowa State.

Although each organization could have entered three men in each event, several teams entered as few as four men in only three events.
The following teams have entered the meet:
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Gamma Delta, Battemfeld Hall, Triangle, Templin Hall, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, Delta Upsilon, and Sigma Nu.
The three contestants with the best time in each preliminary event will participate in the semi-finals which will be run off at 4:30 Thursday afternoon. As there will be no semi-final for the 200-yard relay, the four relay teams with the best times will enter in the finals on Friday afternoon.
The 300-yard medley relay preliminaries will be run off as the last number Thursday afternoon. There will also be no semi-final for this medley relay.
