UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1942
FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Kansas basketball patrons have Karl Schalldeman, who is to be official starter for the Kansas Relays next week, for the Jayhawk's impressive court record for the last two decades. Schalldeman came to K.U. in 1919 as track and basketball coach; he formerly had coached at the now defunct Missouri Wesleyan and later at Baker University. . . He found guiding Kansas' indoor track and basketball fortunes at the same time too much a task. After Kansas' court opener that season—which the Jays dropped to Washburn—Schalldeman asked "Phog" Allen, at that time serving as athletic director, to take over the Kansas court reins. "He asked me about 10:30 one morning," "Phog" reminisces, "and about 1:30 that afternoon I accepted." . . . Kansas played that night under new management against Emporia State to win by a meager margin. Although Phog's team had such greats as "Stubby" Haslett, "Dutch" Lonberg, present Northwestern basketball mentor, and John Bunn, former basketball coach and now dean of men at Stanford, it gathered only third out of the old Missouri Valley conference that year. . . . Allen knew that his crews would "take a licking for a few years," but by 1922 he had hit his stride. Kansas won 15, dropped one game to tie for top honors; in '23 the Jayhawks boasted an all victorious team. . . Meanwhile Schalldeman put out winning track teams for Kansas and served as line coach in football under George "Potys" Clark. He left here to take over coaching duties on the cinder path at Washington State in 1926. From there he went to Michigan State where he last year completed his first season. Yes, indirectly Karl Schalldeman is responsible for making Kansas basketball supremacy as inevitable as first-of-the-month bills.
Up Minnesota way comes warning from a powerful track squad which intends to make a definite impression on the Kansas Relay records come April 18, warm weather, and sunshine. In the weight events the Gophers have Ray Milberg sophomore prospect, and veteran Bob Fitch. Milberg puts the shot well over the 46-foot mark; Fitch won the discus throw at the Texas Relays this year with 156 feet 9 inches, and Milberg placed second in the discus and third in the shot. . . Minnesota's star pole vaulter Jack DeField, will renew competition with Nebraska's Harold Hunt at the Kansas Relays. In the Texas meet, DeField placed second behind Hunt with a 13-foot 6-inch leap. . . Minnesota's dual meet with Nebraska was canceled, making the Kansas events the Gopher's first outdoor appearance. . . . Minnesota's thinclads were privileged to pick the Relays queen this year. Team members have voted on the 12 pictures of University co-led candidates, but they haven't put out any information on balloting results other than they bypassed blonde and brunette candidates to favor "what appeared to be" a brownette.
Performances in the preliminaries of the intramural track meet yesterday assured varsity track coach W. H. Bill Hargiss, that with patience, he can produce a good track team.
Sun Favors I-M Meet Finals
Coach "Phog" Allen has scheduled a baseball game with the Reception Center team at Ft. Leavenworth to be played here at 3:30 p.m. April 14.
April 14 "This will be no ordinary game," assured coach Allen, "fans will get a chance to see some 'big time' ball players in action at this game."
Jayhawker Nine To Open Against Ft. Leavenworth
He went on to explain that Ralph Houk, former football and baseball star at the University, would be on the team which will play against the Jayhawk varsity.
Houk recently enlisted in the army. Prior to his enlistment he was signed with the New York Yankees and was to play with the Kansas City Blues this season as a catcher. He played last year at Binghamton, N. Y., where a Yankee farm team is located.
Other professional and semi-professional ball players will be sure to play in the game Dr. Allen expects.
"I don't believe we've had any too much practice for the game," Allen said, "and our chances for much more practice are not very good in the short time left before April 14."
The ball diamond is still too muddy to permit infield practice but the squad has been working out each evening by throwing and by hitting in the cage at the north end of the practice field.
Disastrous Fire Now termed a Blessing
Frame structures of the 20's which were destroyed, were replaced with concrete buildings and the city is now safe from bad fires, in the opinion of defense directors.
Astoria, Ore. — (UP) — Astoria's devastating fire in 1922 was a major disaster, but now city leaders feel that it was helpful from the standpoint of civilian defense.
skinned 5 feet 11 1-4 inches to win the high jump (and vaults equally well), John Reynolds, Frank Stannard, and Clark Hargiss (coach's son), all who showed speed to spare in the hurdle preliminaries and Gene Roberts, who makes his shadow step to keep up with him in the dashes, would look good on any track squad. And they'll probably be running for Kansas. Only catch is they are all freshmen, must wait a year for varsity competition.
The concrete basements of stores have been suggested as air-raid shelters, as well as viaducts under the city sidewalks.

Yes Sir: Good for You.
With finals in the broad jump, high jump, and shot put complete, the intramural track meet will be culminated this afternoon on the outdoor stadium track.
Owing to the rain yesterday, the track will be slow, but the larger oval will facilitate running the dashes for regulation distance whereas the indoor track was too short.
Preliminaries and semi-finals in the hurdles and dash events were completed last night. Because of the short track the 100-yard event was cut to 80 yards as was the 120 yard low hurdle race. Regulation distances will be run in the finals on the quarter-mile track.
Event finals to be held today are 100-yd. dash, 220-yd. dash, 440-yd.

Kansas Grid Men ScrimmageToday
Because of the intramural track meet, some of the squad members were unable to report for football practice last evening. Coach Gwinn Henry gave the squad an hour's chalk talk. Individual weaknesses were talked over at the meeting and the coaches answered questions which the squad members had to submit.
A scrimmage game is scheduled for this afternoon. As usual the game will be between the Reds and the Blues, and officials will work the game.
