Enough to make any coach despair:
From Kansas' track team, weakened by draft and enlistment, have been subtracted three men who were sure bets to pile up the points for coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss. . . . A few weeks ago Don Mason, state high school pole vault champ from Lyons, dropped school. He cleared the bar at 12 feet 3 inches in high school and was slated for bigger things in college. . . Chuck Eberhardt, brother of Fred who runs the quarter and half for Kansas, returned from Harvard this fall to enroll at the University, but second semester found him back at the eastern school. In his sophomore year of high school, he ran on the Salina team, which established a national interscholastic mile relay record. He was also a 440 dash winner in the high school division of the Kansas relays. Running this semester on Harvard's mile relay, tie has blazed through three quarters each under the 50-second mark.
... Norris Feidler, Enterprise high state discus champ, is the third high school satellite that failed to become a track star for Kansas.
Oklahoma A. and M. proved conclusively last Tuesday night by a 44-35 win over Oklahoma on a neutral court that Kansas is the rightful ruler of the N.C.A.A. fifth district. The Jayhawkers, representing the Big Six, downed A. and M. of the Missouri Valley conference 32-28 on a neutral court to take the district title.
needed to cover the needle.
... On the basis that Kansas and Oklahoma were tied in games won and lost in Big Six competition and because the Jayhawkers and Sooners had split their two game series, Bruce Drake, pretender to the N.C.A.A. throne, and his Sooners moaned that they had as much right to meet A. and M. for the crown as did Kansas. ... Kansas got the nod however, on its offensive-defensive record. ... Oklahoma did get to meet A. and M. again—but not in the playoffs. The result: Iba's Cowboys soundly thumped Drake's struggling Sooners. This season Kansas won two out of three games from Oklahoma A. and M. and Oklahoma A. and M. downed Oklahoma twice out of three tries.

Freshmen Begin Baseball Practice
Baseball coach Forrest C. Allen issued the first call for fresh baseball players to report Tuesday. He asked that those who wish to try for a freshman numeral leave their names at room 105 Robinson gymnasium and report to him or Knute Kresie at the east side of the stadium.

Allen said that he plans to practice the freshmen with the varsity baseball squad this year. He expects to stage varsity-fresh games later in the season.
Although this was Allen's first call for fresh baseballers, six yearlings have already reported. They are Mark McLain, pitcher and 1st base; Bill Phillips, infield; Paul Carpenter, infield; Larry Hickey, outfield; Al Kistner, catcher; and John Herron, infield.
May Have Practice With Haskell Nine
Looking forward to Kansas' opening baseball game against Kansas State at Manhattan April 10. Coach "Phog" Allen hopes to have his nine scrimmage Haskell a game before meeting the Aggies.
"Regular games are going to be played in practice," said Allen, "and I wish that all freshmen who are interested in baseball would report to me or to Knute Kresie."
Coach Allen said that the squad is made up of young members but they look good. Much of the practice time has been given over to hitting but as soon as the diamond is in better shape regular scrimmage is to start.
At present the diamond shows the effects of the winter weather but with warm days here it will receive a thorough dragging and a sprinkling. "Then we'll get a chance to have some good intensive fielding practice," the coach declared.
Allen is enthusiastic over the fact that there are several good left-handed hitters on the squad this spring.

Such was the concensus of Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's cagers as they reflected upon the season past, which brought them the Big Six co-title and the 5th district N.C.A.A. crown.
The Jayhawk court men wrapped up another profitable basketball season by choosing an all-Big Six opponent team, an all opponent quintet exclusive of conference talent, the best coached and most popular

HENRY IBA
Oklahoma A. and M.'s Cowboy cagers were the Jayhawks' unanimous choice as the best coached team Kansas had met this season. "Hank" Iba, Aggie coach was the best coach, and the Gallagher field house crowds at A. and M. were the most sporting and courteous which the Jayhawkers had played before away from home.
