Forrest "Knute" Kresie will toe the pitchers rubber, the umpire will blare "play ball," and the 1942 edition of Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawk baseball team will get under way against Ft. Leavenworth's service cub at 3:30 Thursday afternoon.
On Allen's starting nine are five lettermen—Del Green, John Krum, Dean Martin, Larry Johnston, and Kresie. Warren Hodges, catcher, and Marshall Hulett, shortstop, have come op from last year's fresh sqad for starting berths. Although a senior, this is Bob Innis' first $ ^{4}$
Ray Evans, sophomore football and basketball flash hasn't as yet reported for baseball; he is playing intramural softball. Coach Allen stated this morning that he hadn't learned yet whether Evans would check out in time to start Thursday's game.
Martin has been slated for lead-off on man in Kansas' batting lineup, which Allen will be stronger than last year's. Green will bat second, Krum third, with Kresie, holding the clean-up position.
Allen plans to have Evans bat titin, followed by Hodges, Johnston, Innis, and Hullet in that order. Bill Atwell, big southpaw pitcher will be held for relief hurling duties. Al Hecht may also see service on the mound.
Other Jayhawker baseballers who have looked good in practice and will probably enter the game are Bill Alford, Irven Hayden, Otto, Teichgraeber, Gene Alford, Dan Brune, and Ted Hill. T. P. Hunter, who has a bad ankle will probably be benched by the injury.
While the Kansas squad has been practicing—whenever weather permitted—for the past two months, Leavenworth's soldiers had their first work-out together yesterday. Because of lack of practice, soldier teamwork will probably be poor, but they can show a strong argument on individual talent.
Oadis Swigart, manager and pitcher for the Fort, hurled two years ago for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Ralph Houk, ex-Lawrence B.J. catcher, was New York Yankee property'. He played with Binghamton, N.Y., last year and was destined for the Kansas City Blues this season.
Charles Knoblach, soldier second sacker, entered the army from the Carthage, Mo., Western Association club. Willie Seal, Shortstop at the Fort, played pro ball with Memphis, Ala., in the Southern Association. Marty Krpan, outfieldler, played in the Canadian-American League before entering the army.
After watching his team practice, Sowby said, "We're going to have an exceptionally good club this year; the infield appears to be tight, and all indications are that we will have plenty of hitting power."
Everett Pitts, senior engineer, confined to Watkins Memorial hospital after an accident in Kansas City, is improving.
Denzel Gibbens, business senior had his tonsils removed Friday.
Errors Plague I-M Softball
BY PAUL MOSER
The intramural softball games played yesterday resulted in victories for the Delt's, Sig Alph's, Phi Gam's, Carruth Hall, Pflugerville Pflashes, and the I.R.G.'s. The games were marked throughout with wild pitching and numerous errors. However, a few of the teams began to show mid-season form.
In a hard fought game the Delt's managed to out-hit and out-score the Sigma Chi's 11 to 5. Hoyt Baker limited the Sigma Chi's to eight hits while his mates were collecting thirteen of the deliveries of John Naff and Bill Forsythe. Bob Benkleman and Joe Roberts led the Delt's at bat with two hits in four trips to the plate. Paul Trower and Gene Roberts got two for three to lead their mates at the bat for the losers.
In the feature game of the afternoon Chain Healy of the Phi Gam's, and Lyle Young of the Delta Chi's hooked up in a pitchers battle. The Phi Gam's, taking advantage of their opportunities, managed to defeat the Delta Chi's, 8 to 6. Young gave up 11 hits and the Delta Chi's solved Healy for 10 blows. Earl "Swede" Olson and Chain Healy led the Fiji's with two hits in three trips to the plate, while Leo Doobin led the Delta Chi's with three for three.
Showing their power at the bat, the Pflugerville Pflashes defeated the Sigma Nu's 11 to 0. With Charles Liebermann limiting his opponents to four hits the Pflashes were never in trouble. Warren Israel allowed the hard hitting Pflashes 14 blows and many walks. Don Ettinger led the Pflashes with two hits, one a triple and the other a home run. Charles Avey showed up well for the Sigma Nu's getting two hits in three trips to the plate.
In a loosely played game filled with walks and errors the Sig Alph's thumped the Sig Ep's, 22 to 12. Bill Walton went the route for the Sig Alph's and did not permit a run
SIDELINES---placed fourth in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles; he was barely nosed out in the 1936 Olympics at Berlin by Jack Lovelock of New Zealand; both runners crossed the finish line well under the 1500 meter world's record . . . Cunningham established a world's mark in the mile in 1936 at the Princeton Invitational meet. His time of 4:06.7 has since been bettered by Sydney Wooderson of England . . . Climax of a brilliant career came the night of March 3,

(continued from page four)
1938. Wearing the Crimson and Blue of his alma mater, Glenn Cunningham rocketed to a 4:04.4 indoor mile on the Dartmouth track. This still remains two seconds faster than any other human has even been timed in the mile. Because it was run indoors and the other runners were given handicaps, it cannot be recognized as official . . . Glenn still believes that if the door at one end of the field house had been closed that night to keep out the chill
breezes which bothered his flame scarred legs, he could have done even better. After the race Glenn apologized, "I wouldn't say this was the hardest race I ever ran; I've run faster last quarters than I did tonight." . . This year Cunningham returns to the Kansas Relays, this time starred in a new role. He is to be official judge. With him he will bring a distance relay team from Cornell College which is capable of taking up where he left off,
NAVY ANNOUNCEMENT TO COLLEGE FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES 17THRU19
You want to serve your country! Why not serve where your college training will do the most good?
Who may qualify
Under the Navy's newest plan, you can enlist now and continue in college. If you make a good record, you may qualify within two years to become a Naval Officer—on the sea or in the air.
80,000 men per year will be accepted under this new plan. If you are between the ages of 17 and 19 inclusive and can meet Navy physical standards, you can enlist now as an Apprentice Seaman in the Naval Reserve. You will be in the Navy. But until you have finished two calendar years, you will remain in college, taking regular college courses under your own professors. Your studies will emphasize mathematics, physics and physical training.
After you have successfully completed $1\frac{1}{2}$ calendar years of work, you will be given a written examination prepared by the Navy. This examination is competitive. It is designed to select the best men for training as Naval Officers.
How to become an Officer
If you rank sufficiently high in the examination and can meet the physical standards, you will have your choice of two courses each leading to an officer's commission:
2. Or you will be selected for training as a Deck or Engineering Officer. In this case you will be allowed to continue your college work until you have received your degree.
1. You may volunteer for training as an Aviation Officer. In this case you will be permitted to finish at least the second calendar year of your college work, after which you will be ordered to active duty for training to become an officer-pilot: Approximately 20,000 men a year will be accepted for Naval Aviation.
After graduation you will be ordered to active duty for training to become a Deck or Engineering Officer. Approximately 15,000 men a year will be accepted.
If you do not qualify for special officer's training, you will be allowed to finish the second calendar year of college, after which you will be ordered to active duty at a Naval Training Station as Apprentice Seaman.
Those who fail to pass their college work at any time may be ordered to active duty at once as Apprentice Seamen.
Your pay starts with active duty.
Here's a real opportunity. A chance to enlist in your country's service now without giving up your college training . . . a chance to prove by that same training that you are qualified to be an officer in the Navy.
