Bruce Drake. Sooner basketball mentor, acknowledged Kansas court prowess last week in selecting Oklahoma's all-opponent team. He placed Ralph Miller, high scoring Jayhawker forward, on his first team and Kansas' sophomore combination, Charlie Black and Ray Evans on his second. . . . Teamed with Miller on Drake's first team selection were Millikan and Eggleston, both of the Oklahoma Aggies, Schneider of Iowa State, and Chingue of Bradley Tech. On the second team were Newman, Oklahoma Aggies, Budolfon, Iowa State, and White, St. Johns.
Cornelius Warmerdam, California school teacher and pole vaulter supreme who has been voted the outstanding track and field athlete of the season by New York sports writers, may thank Les Steers, Oregon State's world champion high jumper for his latest record. Warmerdam was vaulting at the Hill Military Academy in Portland, Oregon. His 15 foot $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch leap was good enough for a new record, but he had only one competitor—Earle Meadows—and the mark couldn't be recognized as official without three contestants. Steers condescended to complete the trio; he grabbed a bamboo shaft and gracefully skimmed beneath the bar placed at 13 feet. With a grin Steers discarded the unfamiliar vaulting pole, soared 6 feet 5 inches to win the high jump event.
Frank Barnhart, Jr., Kansas State's crack end of last season, is now saluting Frank Barnhart, Sr. His dad is lieutenant-colonel, commanding the Fourth Cavalry Regiment at Fort Piley. You guessed it, Frank Jr., is an ordinary buck private.
Ex-sportswriter of the K.U. news bureau, Horace Mason, left for the Great Lakes Naval training base Sunday commissioned an ensign in the naval reserve. He hopes to travel with and write about the Great Lakes baseball team, which should be second to none considering the talent the middies are mustering from the major leagues.
A new twist to the Colorado Relays last week end at Boulder was the septathalon. The septathalon is a streamlined decathalon which has been whitted from ten to seven events. Events in the septathalon are 60-meter dash, 60-meter high hurdles, pole vault, high jump, broad jump, put, and 400-meter run. "Sailor Boy" Hodges, Baker University's iron man placed third in this field.
Something new has been added to Kansas' baseball schedule this year, weather permitting. If and when the Jayhawkers make their season debut on the Manhattan diamond against Kansas State, it will be the first time in Big Six baseball competition that conference schools have engaged in night baseball. Dr. F. C. Allen, Kansas baseball coach, said this morning that there was a possibility that the night game would be cancelled should cold weather persist.

Joins Navy, Escapes Arrest
Portland, Ore. — (UP)— One Portlander is convinced that he "profited" by joining the navy. Two policemen came to the home of Leonard Erdman with a warrant for his arrest on a traffic charge. They tore it up when Erdman informed them that he had overparked while enlisting.
Grid Scrimmage Features Defense
Following a rigorous scrimmage last Thursday, the spring football squad enjoyed a three-day layoff. Practice was resumed yesterday but because of the heavy rainfall the workout consisted of running a few laps on the track under the stadium.
Thursday afternoon classes kept many of the football players from practice, so that coach Gwinn Henry found himself with only one backfield.
He used this backfield for offensive play on both teams and pulled four men out of the line for the defensive line backers. The back-field which ran plays for both teams was made up of Kenny Thompson, Bill Palmer, Jim Conley, and Don Comeaux.
On the defensive backfield were Bob Dole, Bill Irwin, Frank Rengel, and Bill Bauer. Paul Hardman, John Monroe, Junius Penny, Otto Schnellbacher, Max Banks, and Carl Hird were the defensive standouts of the afternoon.
Hardman repeatedly smashed in from his position at end and broke up plays with driving tackles. Schnellbacher stopped several end sweeps and intercepted two passes. Junius Penny and Max Banks, line backers, smacked tackles on anyone who happened to shift through the line.
John Monroe and Carl Hird made the tackle position almost impossible to get through. Neither team scored during the afternoon. Another game will be played this weekend, coach Henry announced.
