Pressbox Ramblings By J. Donald Keown
Dick Amerine, former Jayhawk football star and Marine Corps hero of the Solomon Islands affair, rated a five page spread in last Sunday's magazine section of the Chicago Sun entitled "I Killed Four Japs." A large photo of Amerine takes up half of the first page, and the other four pages are devoted to an artist's interpretation of Amerine's adventures as told by "Dashing" Dick in a Marine hospital. The story is subtitled "The story of a flier who bailed out over enemy-infested jungle." The body of the article tells of his landing in the ocean near a Japanese occupied portion of the islands, his swimming to the shore, and his struggle back to his comrades during which he killed four enemy soldiers. The story is vividly related and well portrayed by the Sun staff artist.

Says the Sun: "Add to the records of Lieutenant Bulkeley, Butch O'Hare, and others the amazing tale of Lieutenant Amerine . . . If Lieutenant Amerine is a fair example of a battling American, the Japs might be up against something even tougher and more resourceful than themselves." The writer then told of Amerine's football career at this University in the introduction to the narrative, saying that the Jayhawk was tough on the gridiron, and that in the Marines he became even tougher. The narrative then begins—"Dick Amerine—and the name certainly fits him—making his first solo patrol flight over a section of the Solomon Islands area when the oxygen system inside his cockpit went haywire. He was flying at a very high altitude and struggled desperately to repair the mechanism—but to no avail."

Bob McCarty, senior intramural manager, in explanation of the Delta Chi-John Moore Co-op touch football game mixup says that two biased referees were selected for the game by the board, but that those officials failed to appear at the field. Such has been the case in many other games. McCarty said, in six-man division play, since officials are inclined to regard them as unimportant. In truth, the six-man competition this fall seems to be more heated than 11-man play. As a result, frequently games upon which the most interest is focused are played with referees taken from the two competing squads. It is amazing that more disagreements of a more serious nature than this one have not bobbled up.

McCarty states that referees are unusually hard to obtain this fall because six games are frequently going on at one time. Thus players who would make the best officials are unavailable because they are competing on another field. In the past referees have been attracted by the payment of a modest fee for their work. However, this fall these same men can earn larger sums of money as leaders of physical conditioning classes. Most of them prefer this work, and those few officials who are available choose to officiate at the 11-man games in preference to the 6-man tilts. McCarty says that while the intramural board has made errors this fall, that a large portion of the blame should also fall upon the shoulders of student officials, who agree to handle contests, then fail to show up at game time.

The cancellation of the service team basketball schedules in two separate branches of the service is certainly significant of the training pace being set for uniformed men . . . Dr. Forrest C. Allen states that his department is quite willing to co-operate with the intramural board in instructing new officials in both football and basketball . . . Intramural manager Bob McCarty asks students who are capable of and willing to officiate at intramural games—especially for the coming basketball season—volunteer their services at the intramural office . . .

Commando Instruction Will Get Underway
Commando fighting tactics will soon be learned by University men in physical conditioning classes, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, physical education chairman, said today.
As soon as the athletic department is able to secure enough mats to equip classes for this training, the program will be under way. Because of the ju jitsu, frequent tumbling, and falling employed in this type of training, mats will be required to cover the floor of the gymnasium to prevent serious injury. The athletic department has some instruction books for the art that cooperation has been excellent in attendance and very few excuses for absence have been reported by various students.
Good Preparation
Dr. Allen is pleased with the response of students to the conditioning program. Men especially, he said get into the spirit of the program and show a highly competitive spirit in games and also an ambitious and cooperative spirit in the various conditioning classes. They realize the seriousness of our nation's present situation and the part they can play by keepinf fit. Doctor Allen said
He also said that all instructors have been carefully coached so as to produce a maximum amount of effort from the students and still maintain a cheerful, cooperative attitude. Instructors do this by using games and exercises that produce the most enjoyment along with good that they will do.
Doctor Allen pointed out that this training will prepare students to be (continued to page five)
Court Game on Floor
Dance on Stage
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, varsity basketball coach, today announced that the date of the annual freshman-varsity cage game has been set for the evening of Dec. 1 at Hoch auditorium.
In addition to the basketball battle—which has in past years often proven to be one of the toughest games of the season for the varsity men—a dance will be held between halves.
The between-halves dance will be held upon the auditorium stage, upon which seats will not be placed for that night's game. Dance music will be furnished by Russell Wiley's cowboy band.
Dr. Allen today named Bill Atwell and Director Wiley in charge of arrangements for the dance. O. D. Butcher, Bob Githens, and Hub Ulrich are in charge of other between-halves entertainment. William E. Bradford will assist Ernest Pontius with the loud-speaker coverage of the game. Fontius, a Lawrence newspaper man has been in charge of the loud speaker at football games this fall.
All students on the committees are members of Dr. Allen's basketball class.
Allen today said he anticipated a "tough" game for his frosh with the freshman five. He pointed out that freshman basketball practice ends this week, and that fresh athletes will then be able to begin basketball practice under Coaches Miller and Sollenberger immediately. Among the cage men expected to report for the frosh team from the gridiron squad are John Dewell and Bud French, two outstanding prospects.
"Meanwhile," Allen declared "varsity men will not be done with foot-

Ineligibility Costs Phi Psi's Title
By PAUL BROWNLEE
Ineligibility of Charlie Black to participate in Tuesday's game with Theta Tau cost Phi Kappa Psi the championship of Division II in the intramural football race.
The engineers and Phi Psi's entered the game with identical records of four victories and no defeats. The Phi Psi's won 13 to 0 with Black, Big Six basketball star, scoring 12 points.
"Because Black has participated in varsity football games he is ineligible for intramural competition in football." Henry Shenk, director of intramurals, explained.
Since this was the last game in the division for both teams the Phi Psi's have no hope of gaining even a tie for the championship. Because two teams are selected from each division for the play-offs there is a possibility that the teams may meet again in the post-season competition.
Bill Ogg Stars
Sigma Phi Epsilon downed Templin Hall with a 24 to 7 punch in the number two billing of the day.
Bill Ogg scampered across the goal line with 12 points to cop scoring honors for the day. Jelinek and Teichgraeber added a touchdown apiece to complete the Sig Ep scoring.
For Templin Bud Colburn scored the lone touchdown. Bob Corder added the extra point.
Kappa Eta Kappa maintained their undefeated record by shutting out the Jayhawk Co-op 19 to 0.
Clyde McKale scored 12 points for Kappa Eta Kappa and also played a brilliant game. Don Atchi-
