Track Team Looks Talent Revealed In Inter-squad Meet
Reports from the inter-squad indoor track meet held Friday afternoon under the stadium indicate that the Jayhawkers will have a team worthy to represent Kansas at the Big Six Indoor Track Meet in Kansas City Saturday.
Valle Schloesser, sole returning letterman from last year's
Valle Schloesser, sole team squad and Alan Houghton have consistently been clearing 12 feet in the pole vault.
George Rhoades and Bob Dole will give plenty of competition in the quarter mile; Bill Brownlee and Bill Cole are also better than average quarter-milers. Don Johnson has bettered 45 feet
Gene Roberts and Gene Lee are 60-yard dashmen who have been timed in under 6.7 seconds. Lee is also the outstanding broadjumper on the squad.

venge, remembering their recent crushing 56 to 24 defeat at Lincoln.
The visitors will have their eyes especially upon speedy Jayhawk sophomore Otto Schnellbacher, who ran wild in the Lincoln game to rack up 21 points.
Officials for the game will be Mike Oberhelman of Kansas State and John Lance of Pittsburg Teachers.
SCHNELLBACHER----
(continued from page four) this. When the Sublette High School basketball team won the state tournament and, as center of the team, Otto got to walk up and receive the two foot trophy it seemed rosy enough indeed.
Otto is not a gambling man, but at present he does have a pretty important bet on with trainer Dean Nesmith. Two weeks ago Nesmith bet him a considerable amount of money that he couldn't stop dating until the end of basketball season. Fourteen whole days have gone by and Otto hasn't seen a woman. Will Schnellbacher weaken? Will the iron man's allegedly iron heart melt before March 7? These and other questions harass Schnelibacher and Nesmith, to mention a half dozen interested Hill women.
Vander Werf Will Speak At Sunday Forum Meeting
The Lawrence Sunday Forum will be held at 5 o'clock this afternoon at the Ninth street Baptist church, according to George R. King, program manager. Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, assistant professor of chemistry, will speak on "Religion That Does Things."

Sooners In Slump As They Drop Game To Olathe Sailors
Norman, Feb. 20 — (Special)— The Oklahoma Sooners remained in a slump last night, as playing without the services of star guard Bob McCurdy, they fell before a powerful Olathe Clipper five 47 to 39.
Oklahoma ace Gerald Tucker was forced to devote most of his attention to rebounding chores, and as a result tallied only two points against the strong Olathe defense. Four fast-breaking Sailor forwards—Howey, Hahn, Lockard, and Conley—spelled disaster for the Sooners, as they repeatedly broke past the Oklahoma defense.
Scoring honors for the Sooners went to forward Dick Reich, and star guard Allie Paine.
State Leaders Ask For Speed In Handling Bills
Topeka. (INS) — Leaders of the Kansas legislature this afternoon were working on plans to speed up consideration of numerous bills before both houses in an effort to bring the session to a close by March 7.
Next week steps will be taken to dispose of the most controversial measures still awaiting action, including the measure placing labor under strict state supervision.
Also among the controversial proposals are the bills permitting osteopaths to practice surgery and to prescribe drugs and the various suggestions for making use of the residue of the sales tax collections after social security obligations are met.
For the first time, mid-year freshmen at Lafayette college have their own identity as a college class.
Senator E. A. Briles, chairman of the Senate ways and means committee, said he hoped to have his big appropriation measure for the state schools completed next week.
More than 3,000 graduates of MIT are serving in the armed forces of the nation.
Fine Frosh Team To Join Sooners
Norman, Okla., Feb. 21—(Special)
—With freshmen becoming eligible for Big Six conference varsity sports March 1, Coach Bruce Drake of the Oklahoma basketball team has been eying the all-victorious Oklahoma freshman team covetously.
Lack of manpower wasn't the reason the Sooners were measured by Missouri's big, fast-improving sophomore outfit 50-45 at Columbia Monday night. The Oklahoma players give Coach Edwards' young Tigers full credit for snapping the Sooner 10-game win streak. However, Oklahoma will definitely be stronger with her freshmen as will every team in the league.
Charles Pugsley, 6-foot 2-inch former Oklahoma City Classen High School luminary, can step into a varsity position right now, Sooner fans opine.
Harold Hines, diminutive Oklahoma City Central star, will also bid for a spot as will Jim Mitchell, 6-foot 1-inch Classen player who has improved fast of late. Paul Merchant of Tula, perhaps the most promising Sooner freshman of all, has left school to join the navy and is now in training at San Diego, Calif.
Oklahoma frankly needs het freshmen and has all season. The Sooner varsity squad is numerically thin this year, being entirely drawn from the two upper classes.
Notre Dame Will Follow Lead of the Big Ten
Chicago, Feb. 20 (INS) — Notre Dame was expected today to join in whatever action Western Conference officials take Sunday on the freshmen residence rule for varsity sports competition during wartime.
Novel To Be Printed in Kansan Beginning today for six successive publications the Daily Kansan will print pictorial installments of "Random Harvest," a novel by James Hilton. In connection with this serial publication the Kansan will conduct a contest and the winners will receive free tickets to the show "Random Harvest" which is coming to Lawrence in a few weeks.
The South Bend, Ind., University was invited to send a representative to the meeting of Big Ten directors of athletics which follows the session of the conference faculty committee at which abrogation of the freshmen rule will be discussed.
Dr. Fry Attends National Meeting Dr. John C. Fry, of the state geological survey, is in Washington, D. C., at a meeting of the State Geologists' Association.

Physical Training Class Handicaps Overcome
By Paul Brownlee
Morale is good—absences are not nearly as numerous as last semester—there's a lot more pep among the students—instructors have more experience—that's the set-up in the physical conditioning classes this semester.
Last semester the physic the job of conditioning 1700 co by Phog Allen had three instructors. They had done an excellent pre-war job of conditioning 500 persons. Then the load was tripled.
Last semester the physical education department was given the job of conditioning 1700 college men. The department headed by Phog Allen had three in- $ ^{*} $
Absences were frequent and the morale was low. Few students attended classes regularly. The university had a fire scare one evening and the next day no fewer than a dozen students had excuses because in the rush to the fire they had taken a long stride and pulled a muscle or tripped over the curb and skinned a shin, or just exerted themselves.
Numerous Excuses
Allen, with his characteristic spirit, tore into the gigantic job that had been pushed into his lap and installed one of the best physical conditioning programs in the Middle West. Henry Shenk, director of intramurals, rushed about organizing an intramural program, teaching numerous commando classes, and reading excused absences from the hospital.
Locker room facilities were inadequate. The navy had all available carpenters hired, and the department could not build more loc
The department was all set to begin the year; classes had met a few times and then the armed forces called L. E. Morehouse to the colors and the department hunted frantically for another instructor. They recruited R. R. Strait from Chanute, where he was in charge of the city school athletic program.
Students majoring in physical education and varsity athletes became instructors and the junior commando classes got under way.
Student Instructors
kers until the carpenters finished work for the Navy. There was a lack of towels. There were not enough showers. Athlete's foot was on the rampage.
New Foot Powder
At last a foot powder was produced by the School of Pharmacy that slowed down the spread of athlete's foot. The carpenters finally finished work on navy projects and built a new locker room. More towels were finally purchased. The student instructors gained valuable information and experience in the art of teaching physical education
And so this semester the physical education department has snatched a breathing spell; student morale has taken a surprising jump, and the University's physical education department is well on its way to success.
