Jayhawk Jabberwock
HE NOW HURLS FOR UNCLE SAM
Milo Farneti, Jabberwocker for the past two months and javelin throwing ace of the varsity track squad, will soon assume new duties—those of a private in the United States army.
Farneth, a member of the AERC, has received his orders to report Saturday, so is at present home for a short visit. He is one of 60 who will report at Kansas City on that date. Also a member of the group is Joe Crawford, football star. The group is made up of reserve men who failed to enroll in this semester, or paid their fees late. Other army reservists, however, will get their orders in the very, very near future.
Said Farneti in departing: "Uncle Sam couldn't find any good hand grenade slingers among the 60 KU boys in the AERC to be called up Saturday, so I got invited to Leavenworth too."

WHO'S GONNA PLAY?
Tacitum Gwinn Henry goes placidly on with his plans for spring football practice, while fans wonder who the veteran coach is planning on starting this fall. Rumors have it that next September may find Gwinn himself at quarterback, Gwinn Jr. at one halfback post, the Campus Cop at the other, and Hoch auditorium in the fullback slot.
At present the expenditure of funds for spring practice seems to be a complete waste of the money. If the atheletic department, however, has such wealth available, it might better be spent on a miniature Kansas Relays. The Relays could feature teams from this and adjoining states alone. We fear that if the meet is discontinued for the duration, it will be doubly difficult for it to regain its prestige at the end of the war.
JUST JABBER

George Senesky, who scored 19 points in St. Joseph's 63 to 38 loss to Kansas in December, has scored 311 points in 14 games this season for a 22.2 point average. Senesky's individual high is 44 points in one game . . . Iron Fiver's Ray Evans, Armand Dixon, and Otto Schnellbacher are in the Army Reserve, expected to receive orders in a week . . . Kansas' recent play proves that neither Black nor any other member of the Jayhawker five, except John Buescher, is indispensable . . . The free-wheeling quarterback is the nerve center of Phog Allen's system.

Yeah, something new has been added and — of all things — its a woman sports columnist on the Kansan. Tomorrow and at frequent intervals throughout the remainder of the basketball season the job of turning out this jabber will fall into the dainty hands of one Miss Betty Lou Perkins. Perk isn't promising how accurate her predictions will be, but she does promise they will be different.
Interested Students Make Preparations For Baseball Squad
Preparations for a varsity baseball team were made Tuesday evening in a meeting of students interested in the sport, in the K-room of Robinson gymnasium.

Students who have signed the petition are Ray Evans, Joe Roberts, Hoyt Baker, George Dick, Toby Brumback, Don Baker, Bill Debus, Fred Strickland, Wenton Wilcox, Glenn Royer, Bob Heaton, Charles Keller, Eddie Woolcott, and Carl Sutton.
Cyclones Play Navy In Red Cross Benefit
Ames, Iowa. Feb. 18. -- For the second straight year Iowa State College will play a Navy team in a Red Cross benefit when the basketball team meets the Iowa City Pre-Flight officers team at Fairfield tonight.
The contest will pit Ron Norman, Cyclone guard, against his old coach, Lieut Dwight Hoover, pre-flight forward. Hoover is on leave from his Fairfield coaching post for service with the Navy. Norman is considered the greatest star developed at Fairfield since Dick Crayne.

Forelock Source of Worry to Dixon Handsome Soph Is Modest
Armand Dixon has a strong aversion to people who are always telling him he's handsome. He hates the idea of having Tyrone Power eyebrows, Charles Boyer eyes, and a Mickey Rooney grin. Worst of all, however, he dislikes comment on his undulating forelock. That wave is strictly on the up and up, and not the work of a curling iron as some members of his public would believe.
Armand is 19, a sophomore, and a native of Hermosa Beach, Calif. He came to KU last year because he was bored with California—"Hollywood isn't so glamorous when you're on the inside"—and because, knowing Vic Hurt and Phog Allen, his high school coach recommended the institution.
(This is the second in a series of individual personality sketches of members of Phog Allen's Iron Five basketball quintet.)
Sitting on the steps of Frank Strong the other day Armand gazed into the distance and meditated on his biggest "kick" in life. He finally decided it was playing in "The Garden" (Madison Square) this winter, and winning.
His second biggest bang developed when some teacher told him he would flunk zoology and he B'd the course. In spite of what every one thinks about athletes and their mental powers, Dixon, at least, is no moron. He has a 1.7 grade average.
He's Not In Love
Armand admits that he dates, and has dated many Hill women, but he contends that he is not in love. When he does go into that fatal dive,
the athlete says it will be in honor of some 17-year-old, well-built number who is 5 feet 10 inches tall, brunette, blue-eyed, and has a distinct aversion to smoking and drinking. He prefers that she be intelligent, however. In case of a show-down necessitating a choice between brains and beauty, Dixon will take the beauty.
A Future Coach
Armand is another iron man who plays basketball strictly because he likes to, and who wants to be a coach. His middle name is Lynn, he's a member of Delta Chi social fraternity, and of the Army Reserve.
As far as the latter goes—Armand

thinks the service will be a "sweet change." He's crazy about the idea of being called, with only one reservation—that the government war until basketball season ends before deciding he is an essential factor in the war effort.
Graduate Receives Navv Wings
Truman F. Weigand, graduate i business, received the pilot's wing of the Marine Corps Reserve and the commission of a second lieutenant, following his graduation last week from U. S. Naval Air Training Center, Pensacola, Florida. He is the son of Mrs. J. J. Weigand of Emporia.

Don't Forget The ARMY
A "Package" from home now and then is just the thing to keep the boys' morale up and let them know we're thinking of them.
Come in to Ober's and let us make some suggestions for gifts for the boys in service. You'll find just the thing in our "Victory Display."
