Phog Praises Stars . . .
Evans Fulfills Promise Coach Made To Tucker
Following Friday night's 42 to 35 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners to cinch the 1943 Big Six championship, basketball coach "Phog" Allen today complimented his ace guard, Ray Evans, as this University's "greatest athletic personality since the days of Tommy Johnson."
Said Allen: "His general wholesomeness both in athletic com-
Said Allen. This general will petition and on the Campus should be an inspiration to every student at this school."
Evans Friday night turned in an outstanding defensive job in guarding Sooner star Gerald Tucker, in addition to tallying three field goals.
"Wouldn't Trade for' Tucker"
"I wouldn't trade either of my present three stars — Buescher, Evans, or Schnellbacher—for Tucker." Allen said yesterday. "They are team men, he isn't."
"When Tucker graduated from high school, and other schools were making him promises, I told Tucker all I could promise him was four years of hard competition. Well, he's getting them," Allen added.
Allen also complimented McSpadden and Ballard for their play. "I told Jack," Allen said, "to go in there and play the game I knew he was capable of, and not to worry about every little mistake he made. We needed a tall man badly, and he certainly came through."
"Little Sparky played a wonderful game," he added. "He was just two days out of a sick bed, and between halves I had him checked by a physician to see if he was capable of completing the game. The boy has remarkable stamina."
Brill's Knee A Handicap
Allen explained Tucker's barrage of last minute pivot goals with the explanation that Brill's injured knee prevented him from guarding the Sooner star closely. "When Brill's knee is well, he is as fine a defensive man as anybody could ask for," Allen said.
Allen expressed his appreciation for the fine support given the 1943 champions by students, Lawrence fans, and the physicians who aided in keeping the crumbling Kansas lineup together when the injury struck at various times throughout the year.
"Supporters of that type deserve a championship team," Allen declared.

Red Cross Needs Recreation Leaders
American Red Cross needs directors for recreational units in service clubs and hospitals, both domestic and foreign, Mrs. W. T. Douce, office secretary of the local Red Cross, said yesterday.
At the request of the war department, the Red Cross is establishing clubs overseas to meet the leisure time needs of service men on furloughs. These clubs provide food lodging, and recreation.
Women, especially, are needed by the Red Cross, Mrs. Douce said. Those applying for positions must be between the ages of 25 and 45, and have a college degree. In exceptional instances, outstanding experience in recreation may be considered in relaxing the age limits and the requirement of college graduation.
Positions are open now for assistant program director, personal service director, recreation staff assistants, and hospital recreation workers.
All applications should be made through Mrs. Douce at the Red Cross office in the basement of the Municipal building.

Sign Stolen
Miss Meguiar
Asks Return
Thieves have again been at work on Mt. Oread! This time the culprit—or culprits—have been at work in old Fraser, and the loot includes a number of signs designating offices and departments in that building. Among the stolen signs is the one designating the office of Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women. It happens that during the summer session last summer the same sign disappeared and then after an appeal for it's return by Miss Meguiar, the conscience of the guilty student forced him to return it to the owner.
This time Miss Meguiar is not interested in who took the sign, where they took it, when they took it, or why, but simply requests that the guilty person return it quietly to her office at any time of the day or night so that she may again have the guiding light above her door and so that inquiring coeds can again easily find her.
