UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1942
From the Sidelines by Alan B. Houghton
Thanks Chuck Elliott; you've done a difficult job per excellence.
Having closed the ledge on a highly successful basketball season, Forrest C. Allen is ready to take over the reins of the Jayhawker baseball team. It was from the baseball diamond that Allen acquired his nickname "Phog." . . . Allen has been associated with the game of baseball since 1900—as a player, coach and umpire. In fact, he antedates Ernie C. Quigley in the umpiring business. By 1905 Allen had gained the epithet, "Foghorn," for his booming voice calling balls and strikes behind the plate. . . . It was then that Ward "Pinhead" Cable, Kansan sports writer of that era, decided that "Foghorn" was too plain. Gable, who now lives in Bend, Ore., endeavored to doll it up a bit. The result "Phog" which has stuck ever since.
It seems that Kansans in general and University students in particular have no monopoly on aversion for Colorado's arrogant basketball mentor, "Frosty" Cox. The following is an excerpt from a letter from the Spanish Fork, Utah, high school coach, dated March 20:
"We are hoping that you will be able to beat Colorado U. tonight as it seems to us that they are a bunch of very poor sports. A few of us traveled some distance to see them play Brigham Young University a while back and found that they are very poor sports and seemed to be led by their coach Mr. Cox."
George "Potsy" Clark, former Kansas football coach, has joined the nation's armed forces for the second time; in the first World War he served in the army as a second lieutenant. Recently he was sworn in the naval reserve as a lieutenant commander. . . . Clark played his college football under Bob Zuppke at Illinois. He was chosen all-Western Conference in 1913-14. Although he weighed but 160 pounds, his ability as a ball carrier placed him on many all-American selections. . . . . "Potsy" served as frosh football coach at Kansas in 1916 before he joined the 89th division. On the 89th division football team he played with Howard "Scrubby" Laslett, former Kansas end, and Ad Lindsey, ex-Jayhawk football coach. . . . His team won the A.E.F. football title and the players received the personal congratulations of General Pershing. . . . He returned to coach football at the University from 1921-25. High point of his career at Kansas was the tie with a heavily favored Nebraska team 0-0 in 1923. . .
Another addition to Uncle Sam's navy is Paul Masoner in the physical education division. Masoner, Jay-hawk quarterback in 1955-36-37, resigned his job as football coach at Marysville high.
It Finally Happened Here
East St. Louis, Ill. — (UP) — Fern R. Rauch, secretary of the Central Trade sand Labor Union, is one man who doesn't want a raise. When a proposal to increase his salary from $72 to $82 a month was put before the union, he asked that it be rejected. It was.

Jayhawkers Open Against K-State
Kansas' baseball team is tentatively scheduled to open its season against Kansas State at Manhattan, April 10. Forrest C. Allen, Jayhawk baseball coach, announced today.
With baseball activities being curtailed this season because of a cut in the team's funds by the athletic board Kansas has tentatively arranged an eight-game schedule with Missouri and Kansas State.
BASEBALL SCHEDULE (Tentative)
April 10-11, Kansas vs. Kansas State, there.
April 24-25, Kansas vs. Missouri,
here.
May 8-9, Kansas vs. Kansas State,
here
May 25-26, Kansas vs. Missouri,
there.
Arrangements have been made among the three teams whereby the visiting team members may stay at fraternity houses rather than expending money for hotel rooms.
Coach Allen emphasized that the schedule is, as yet, incomplete. He plans to have the Jayhawks play some of the nearby college teams, such as Baker and Rockhurst. He also expects to arrange games for the Kansas nine with service teams from Ft. Leavenworth and Ft. Riley.
Twenty-six men have reported for varsity baseball, which has been held indoors for the past three weeks. There are five lettermen in the group; they are Knute Kresie, John Krum, Del Green, T. P. Hunter, and Larry Johnston.
Others reporting for practice are Dean Martin, Bill Atwell, Otto Teichgraeber, Irven Hayden, Warren Hodges, Calvert Winter, Bob Goodeil, Marshall Hulett, Steve Meade, Denzel Gibbens, John Kreamer, Al Hecht, Marvin Vandaveer, Forrest Hill, Dorus Munsinger, Roscoe Hambric, Gerry Boynton, George Dick, Ray Evans, Max Kissell, and Bob Innis.
Allen named as probable pitchers Kresie, hurler for last season's club Hunter, Hecht, and Vandaveer. Behind the plate he plans to use Hodges and Evans.
In practice Krum, Teichgraeber, Green, Hulett, Kreamer, and Meade show promise for the infield. Kresie and Hunter also play infield when not pitching. For the outfield coach Allen has Larry Johnston, Denzel Gibbens, and Martin.
Scranton, Pa. — (UP) — Abraham Le Roy Musselman was deferred when he said he was married and the father of an infant daughter.
Allen predicts that this year's Jayhawker baseball team will surpass last season's. "I am looking for batters this year," he stated. "I'll find a place on the team for them if they can hit."
Jury Says the Dependent Borrowed
He even took the baby with him when he appeared before the draft board.
Now he's under indictment as a draft evader. The Grand Jury said the baby was his brother's borrowed for the occasion.

Scrimmage Stopped By Rain and Mud
Spring football squadmen and coaches thought that scrimmage had finally arrived for this spring's practice on Monday and Tuesday of this week, but their enthusiasm was dampened by yesterday's rain.
Monday's practice consisted of limbering up by running plays and by passing practice. The whole squad practiced on passing and pass receiving. Later the squad was divided by the coaches into teams and plays were run in a dummy scrimmage.
On Tuesday, after passing practice, a short scrimmage was held. The offensive team was made team was made up of Paul Hardman and Grier Zimmerman at end, Dick Channell and Don Johnson at tackles, Lloyd Svoboda and Joe Crawford at guards, and Junius Penny at center. The backfield consisted of Gene Roberts, Hoyt Baker, John Conley, and Harlan Altman.
The defensive team was composed of Otto Schnellbacher and Bud Smith at end, Jack Tenenbaum and John Monroe at tackles, John Herron and Gene Long at guards, Bob Githens at center, with a backfield consisting of Joe Roberts, John Lo-Pinto, Alvin Hecht, and Bill Palmer.
Because of yesterday's rain the squad was assembled under the stadium and heard a chalk talk on the plays they had been running.
Following the chalk talk the men took a few laps around the indoor track under the stadium to complete the workout. The centers stayed for a few minutes longer to prac-

Unique Carnival Set for April 4
Track coach W. H. "Bill" Huggiss has designated Saturday afternoon, April 4, as the day for the intramural track meet.
Hargiss plans to make a "Roman holiday" of the affair with numerous and sundry events open to all. He stated that he intends to put an entry sheet on the bulletin board of the intramural office where contestants can sign for the events in which they wish to compete.
Making more of a picnic than a track meet of the proposed affair, Hargiss plans to sponsor events ranging all the way from "knitting to throwing the shot." There will be a place on the entry blank for contestants to designate events.
Coach Hargiss has a twofold purpose in his track meet-carnival. He explained that it would afford exercise and entertainment for those competing, and he hopes to discover talent through this medium to bolster his Kansas track team which has suffered heavily from the draft, enlistments, and grade failures.
