UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1942
The Ralph Conger memorial will be dedicated Sunday at Wentworth Military Academy, Lexington, Mo. by Forrest C. Allen. Conger, who was fresh football and baseball coach here at Kansas for two years, 1937-38, went to the military academy in 1939 to take over head coaching duties . . . Last Thanksgiving day as his cadets were playing Kemper, he suffered a heart attack and died on the players' bench just before halftime. His team came back to score 14 points, win the game in the last half, 14-0 . . . Captain Conger was born in Natoma, Kan., spent three years at Wentworth, and attended college at Kansas State Teachers at Ft. Hays. Before coming to K.U., he tutored athletic teams at Smith Center High school . . . His football teams at Smith Center year in and year out proved the class of the gridiron in north central Kansas. The last squad of Indians he guided in football before coming to Kansas was all-victorious–undefeated and unscored on. This squad compiled some 230 points for the season.
Edwards Gets Chance at Drake
Lanky Dick Edwards, Jayhawk distance ace, will get his chance to gather in personal laurels this Saturday at the Drake Relays. Having been plagued all year by misfortune, Dick will enter the open two mile run . . . In the Kansas Relays last week, he ran anchor on the distance medley relay; by the time he received the baton, he was so far arrears that he hadn't a chance to match strides with the other runners. Track coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss believes Dick will be able to show the field a good race at Drake, given the chance to start from scratch with the rest of the runners . . . Other Jayhawkers off to try their luck in the Des Moines carnival are Don Pollam, Milo Farneti, and Ralph Schaake. Farneti's toss was third best in the Kansas Relays last week, and Schaake placed fourth in the high hurdles. Pollom will enter an event not featured at the Kansas track show—the 400 meter hurdles. Height of these barriers is 36 inches, half-way between the standard highs and lows, and the race is one of the most gruelling of the meet.
Ralph Miller, minus many pounds of weight, was out of the hospital a short while this morning just "prowling around." He has won his battle with lobar pneumonia and plans to say goodbye for good to Watkins memorial tomorrow. Herbia Plays for Nothing Now.
Herb Scheffler, former Oklahoma basketball and football player, has reverted from the ranks of the professional to the amateur. Scheffler, who hit .303 for the Greenboro, N.C., club in the Class B Piedmont league last season, was slated for a try-out with the Louisville Colonels of the American association this spring, but he joined the armed forces last December . . . As forward on Bruce Drake's Sooner basketball teams in 1939-40, and as first baseman on Jap Haskell's Oklahoma baseball clubs, Herbie spent many a heckled night on the Kansas basketball court and many a badged afternoon on the Kansas
Beta's, A. Chi Sigma's John Moore, Alph's And Flashes Win in Softball
By PAUL MOSER
Victors in this week's softball games are the Beta's, the Alpha Chi Sigma's, the Sig Alph's, the John Moore Co-op, and the Pflugerville Flashes. The games were marked by better fielding and hitting than in previous games played this year.
Beta's 18, D.U.'s 0
In a game filled with wild pitching and hard hitting, the Beta's defeated D. U.'s 18-0. Although collecting only ten hits, the Beta's worked Don Comeaux, D.U. pitcher, for 10 walks to score in every inning. Vance Hall held the team to only two hits and was never in danger, as only one man got beyond second. Bob O'Neil led the hitting getting two hits in as many official trips to the plate.

Batteries: D.U., Comeaux and Thomas; Beta, Hall and O'Neil.
Alpha Chi Sigma's 12, Phi Psi's 6
Although he gave up sixteen hits, Cal Vanderwerf, Alpha Chi Sigma pitcher, received sensational support from his mates to lead his team to victory over the Phi Fsi's, 12 to 6. The Alpha Chi's lit on the offerings of Bill Hodge in the first inning for six hits and five runs to take a lead which they never relinquished. George Wagner led the Alpha Chi Sigma's getting three for three, while Dick Miller led the losers at the plate with two hits in three times up.
The box:
Alpha Chi ... 5 2 1 2 0 2 0
Phi Psi ... 1 2 0 0 1 1 1
Batteries: Alpha Chi, Vanderwerf and Creer; Phi Psi, Hodge and Carpenter.
In a game filled with hard hits the Sig Alph's defeated the A.T.O.'s, 14 to 6. Although he gave up eleven blows, Jack Walton, Sig Alph hurler, was tight in the pinches keeping the hits well spaced. In the third innning the
diamond . . . He was Big Six batting leader for two seasons with 374 and 407. Before becoming Uncle Sammie's little man, Scheffler was property of the Boston Red Sox (club for which Sooner coach Jap Haskell is scout.) Herbie is now stationed at Chanute Field; he plans to apply next month for a commission in the medical corps as a second lieutenant.

John Moore 17, Jayhawk 0
With Everett Doom limiting the Jayhawk Co-op to five hits, the boys from the John Moore Co-op ran away with the game, 17 to 0. Although they collected only twelve hits off the arm of John Lo Pinto, the John Moore's were able to hit in the clutches to make every hit and every break count. John Hoffman led the winners at the plate, getting two hits in three trips to the plate, while Bob Gilliland led the loser, also getting two for three.
The box:
In one of the best games played this year the Pfugerville Pflashes defeated the Sig Ep's, 8 to 6. Murry Brown, Pfugerville pitcher gave up only nine hits and was effective in the pinches, while Eldon Williams, Sig Ep hurler, gave up twenty hits. The game was marked by the ability of the Sig Ep's to hold the hard hitting Pflashes to a comparatively low score. Charles Black contributed the fielding gem of the day when he took a hard hit line smash deep in left field, and then a few moments later (continued on page five)

Kansas Changes Baseball Foe
Because the Big Six considers Haskell Institute a high school, Kansas' baseball team has had to change its opponent this afternoon. The Jayhawks will play the service team from Ft. Leavenworth.
After the game with Haskell had been scheduled, it was discovered that, according to Big Six rules, it was a breach of conference law to play the In- $ ^{o} $
Baseball coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen has arranged a rematch with the soldiers from Leavenworth, who defeated Kansas 3-1 in the opening game for both teams last week, to replace Haskell.
The Jayhawker battery for today will be Knute Kresie pitching and Warren Hodges behind the plate. Kansas' starting infield will be T. P. Hunter, Del Green, Marshall Hulett, and John Krum. In the Jayhawk outfield will be Bob Innis, Larry Johnston, and Dean Martin.
Batteries for the soldiers will be Oadis Swigart, former Pittsburgh
Pirate, on the mound, and Ralph Houk, ex-Lawrence B. J. player, catching. The soldier's infield will be Warren Custenborder, Charles Knoblach and Willie Seal, with the outfield consisting of Price Fugit, Carl Pitcher, and Marty Krpan.
