SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1942 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE THREE A Sportswriter's Dream "Jayhawk Eleven Crushes Nebraska 35-0." "Kansas Grid Machine Rolls Over Oklahoma 28-7;" or "Big Six Football Crown to KU as Jayhawks Rout Mizzou 21-7." Every editor in Kansas dreams of throwing such banners in 144-point bold face type across the top of his page . . . There is no headline that would warm the heart of a Kansas alum with pride and elevation quite so much—but such things just don't happen at K.U. The University students; the alums; even the Jayhawk opponents know that Kansas' perennial place is at the nadir of the football heap; it seems as inevitable as the law of gravity. Many who claim gridiron omniscience have propounded theories to explain Kansas' football failures. Some like to lay the blame on the coaches; some believe professors are too stringent on the University athletes. Wrong Number While there is no one answer, the quasi know-it-alls certainly dialed the wrong number in blaming the coaches, the profs, or the players. If the coaches were to blame, how could you explain the success Gwinn Henry enjoyed when he tutored at Mizzou? And wasn't Vic Hurt line coach at Southern Methodist the year the Mustangs went to the Rose Bowl? . . . As for the profs' flunking Jayhawk grid men, Kansas elevens have suffered surprisingly few casualties of ineligibility. And who can accuse the players after the valiant way they fought down a favored Kansas State team last fall? Safety in Numbers One thing is certain: Kansas is suffering from a football famine. The Jayhawk squad is suffering from a lack of quantity rather than a lack of quality. Each season, Kansas manages to find a "Jarring Jim' Bausch or a Hub Ulrich, but getting eleven at them at one time is another story. The average Kansas eleven, usually weak in reserves, is no match for a squad composed of three or four top-notch teams, such as the Huskers, Sooners, or Tigers trot on the field. The day of the iron man who played 60 minutes of every game is a thing of the past; today it's the team with the most reserves that rides the crest of victory. (Look at the preponderant squads of Minnesota, Northwestern, or Notre Dame.) BLUE MILL If the University students and al- (continued to page seven) - SNACKS - LUNCHES - DINNERS When You Speak of GOOD FOOD You Think of the BLUE MILL Phi Delt's Win Softball Crown BY PAUL MOSER The Phi Delt's won the intramural softball title by virtue of an eleventh inning victory over the Pflugerville Pflashes, 13 to 12. Herby Kauffman was the hero of the game, coming through for the Phi Delt's in the last half of the eleventh with a pinch single, to drive in Ray Evans with the winning run. Ray Evans was on the mound for the Phi Delt's and turned in his usual splaring performance, while Murray Brown, who was credited with the loss, turned in a good job in a relief role for the Pflashes. The Phi Delt's started with a bang in the first inning, getting to John Buescher, Pflugerville starter, for five runs, before Brown could be called in to stem the tide. Walks to Warren Newcomer, Hutch Walker, and Forrest Wilson, combined with hits by Evans, Byron Kern, and Dan Huebert produced the Phi Delt tallies. Again in the third the Phi Delt's came to life to score. This time Evans led off. He caught one of Brown's pitches and sent it deep into left field. The ball was so hard hit that Charley Black couldn't hold it and Evans came scampering home. Walks to Bob Wilson and Bob Fitzpatrick sandwiched between hits by Dean Huebert and Ed Moses scored the other Phi Delt runs. Down eight runs the Pflugerville Pflashes came back in the fourth to push over three runs. Don Ettinger got a double, Black walked, and Brown brought Ettinger across the plate with a hit. A few moments later John Buescher lined out a hit to score both Black and Brown. In the sixth the Pflashes had their big inning. Brown got first on an error, and Buescher, Don Baumunk, Bill Bradford, and Ken Moore walked to force a run across and load the bases. Then hits by John Pattie, John Pfitsch, and Don Ettinger, the latter's a home run, brought the Pflugerville total to eight runs for the inning and send them ahead 11 to 8. Spring Sports ★★★ Awards Given The Phi Delt's tied it up again in their half of the sixth when Dan Huebert walked, Newcomer hit, and Evans poled his second home run of the game. From this point on both pitchers tightened and neither team scored again until the eleventh. The Pflashes broke the tie in their half of the iming when Don Blair led Forty-two Jayhawk athletes, upon the recommendation of their coaches and approval of the University athletic association, have been awarded letters or numerals for spring sports.
