UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1941
It's getting just a little bit disgusting to keep reading of the additional players named to the West squad for the Shrine's East-West game at San Francisco on New Year's day without seeing our own Hub Ulrich's name on the list.
There isn't a better defensive end in the country than Ulrich and this isn't just the talk of a columnist but the opinion of coaches, players, and
writers who have seen him play. And a good defensive end is just what the West will need when it faces such Eastern backs as Bruce Smith, Minnesota; Bill Dudley, Virginia; Steve Juzwik, Notre Dame; B. DeCorrevont, Northwestern; and Bob Westfall, Michigan. His coach, Gwinn Henry, says that he is one of the best ends he has even seen and probably the best defensive wing-man in the country.
Certainly Biff Jones, Nebraska's head mentor and also co-coach with Orin Hollingberry of Washington State of the West squad in the East-West Shrine game, should realize his ability. Ulrich was selected on nearly every first all-Big Six team in the Valley and his playing op-same way.
ponents felt the same way.
NINE PLAYERS ALREADY SELECTED
Jones has already picked two of his own players Vike Francis, a fullback who barely rated honorable mention on all-Big Six teams this year, and George Abel, a truly great guard, were the ones selected. Jack Jacobs, Oklahoma's outstanding passer and kicker, has also been picked.
But, we're still wondering where is Ulrich's name. Or is it impossible for a Kansas player to be selected? That doesn't sound reasonable because a few Jayhawkers in the past, Dick Sklar and Pete Mehringer, have been accorded this honor. Therefore, Jayhawker fans (and Ulrich, too, for that matter) can just wait and hope.
Other college seniors who have been selected up-to-date on the West squad are Bob Reinhard, California tackle; Frankie Albert, Stanford back; Billy Sewell, Washington State back; Mal Kutner, Texas end; Dale Gentry, Washington State end; and Chal Daniel, Texas guard.
EVEN THE BEST MAKE MISTAKES
The mention of Reinhard brings to mind a little oddity concerning his selection on Grantland Rice's Collier's All-American. In his story, Rice said that Reinhard rated the selection over Dick Wildung, powerful Minnesota tackle, because he could do many things well. For instance, he said that Reinhard was his team's best passer and an expert pass receiver besides being the Bears' punter.
The latter fact is acknowledged. In fact, Reinhard broke a national record by punting 76 times during the season. But as to his passing ability, well...? The University of California daily paper says that "Reinhard threw but one incomplete pass and received but one throw" during the season.
If the dean of American sports writers can make mistakes such as that then it gives the other fellows in the game a little more courage. Rice is forgiven, if any forgiveness is necessary however, for later he named the middle west as the strongest football section for 1941. Here's a hearty second.
ENGLEMAN TO BE MARRIED
Odds and ends: Bob Feller's announcement that he definitely will enlist throws a cramp into young Lou Boudreau's chances for success in his first season as Cleveland manager. . . Whirlaway was recognized as the horse of the year today after a close fight with Alsab. . . Iowa State beat Drake University, 46 to 35, last night for their second straight victory. . . Missouri's football Tigers rest today, practice for two days, go home for the weekend, come back for a week's practice, and then leave the 20th for New Orleans. . . Major league officials meeting in Chicago fear the present crisis is much more difficult than the one baseball weathered in 1918. The season was curtailed Labor Day that year. . . The Oklahoma Aggies downed their frost last night, 35 to 17. . . DePaul, another K.U., opponent this winter, beat Chicago Teachers 35 to 20. . . The finally official news about Howard "Rope" Engleman, last year's scatscoring forward, is announcement of his approaching marriage to Mary Beth Dodge, senior Kappa Kappa Gamma. . . The Dud DeGroot, Rochester University coach who will assist Bernie Bierman and Andy Kerr in coaching the East squad for the East-West game, is a brother of last year's phys ed teacher on the campus, Bert DeGroot. The latter is now at Riverside, Calif., in charge of recreation for six airfields of
SCHWENK SETS RECORD
A teammate of Lindow's, Wilson "Bud" Schwenk also has been moving around but he has done all of it for Washington. At the end of the nine-game schedule, Schwenk had established an all-time collegiate football mark for total offense with a total of 1,929 yards. He also set a new all-time pass completion mark by having 114 of his passes snagged successfully. This tops Davy O'Brien's 1938 mark of 93.
The Jayhawkers might take a little credit for these marks for when Schwenk opposed them in October he completed 11 passes for 137 yards and piled up an impressive yards-by-rushing total.
Students at Washington University seem to recognize Schwenk as the truly great ball-player he is. In Student Life, semi-weekly paper of the school, a petition was printed Friday asking that jersey No. 42, worn by Schwenk during his Washington grid career, be retired from use.

First Five Remains? To Phog
One week before the opening game of the season, Dr. F. C. Allen of Kansas is no more certain of his starting lineup than he was prior to the start of basketball practice.
Selecting the five men who will start against Denver University here next Wednesday will be a difficult assignment and there probably will be nothing permanent about the selections that are made.
Ralph Miller, senior forward, and Ray Evans, sophomore center, appear certain to hold down first string berths this season, but who will comprise the remainder of the lineup is very much undecided.
The lone returning regular from last year's team, Marvin Sollenberger, a guard, has been slowed down by a recurrence of an old high school knee injury. The injury has been responding to treatment, however, and "Solly" may be ready to play against Denver.
Letterman John Buescher has
been making a strong bid for a first team berth at forward. The "Thin Man" is one of the fanciest ball handlers on the squad and is a fine rebounder considering his lack of weight.
JOHN BUESCHER
Charlie Black,
may be a second new man to break into the starting lineup, alongside Evans. Black takes advantage of his size in close to the basket and has proven a good all-around ball player.
If Sollenberger is not able to play against Denver, his place will be taken over by either T. P. Hunter or Charlie Walker, a pair of lettermen. Hunter, who saw the most action of the two last year, is the likely choice for the starting call, but does not have much of an edge

A well-coached Phi Psi "A" team took matters under control last night and defeated Alpha Chi Sigma 46 to 15 in a division I intramural contest.
Led by the scoring of Bill John Krum and Bill Hodge, who chalked up 17 and 15 tallies respectively, the Phi Psi's got off to an early start and limited the chemists to 5 points for the first half. Towering John Hall-
berg, Phi Psi center, had a monopoly on rebounds under both backboards and kept the ball in the hands of the 1100 Indiana boys. Steve "Crusher" Meade, of varsity football fame, also turned in a good performance at guard.

Gridsters Play For Newman
Two Newman teams, using varsity football stars, piled up a total of 90 points between them in their intramural contests Monday night. Newman II took Rockchalk Co-op to the tune of 42 to 11, while Newman I had Kappa Eta Kappa hanging on the ropes, emerging with a 48 to 16 victory. Ralph Schaake and Bob Bell were leading scorers
Two lettermen who have been peppering the basket in scrimmage this winter, but who rate behind taller men at present, are Vance Hall and Bob Johnson. Johnson, a speedster, has been a whirlwind on the fast break from his guard position.
over Walker, who has continued to show improvement.
In addition to Evans and Black, Doctor Allen has able sophomore replacements in Paul Turner and Max Kissell, forwards, and Jack Ballard and "Red" Ettinger, guards. Turner, although erratic as yet, has shown a world of promise.

for Newman II, netting 17 points between them.
The Union Fountaineers finally got an 18 to 15 decision over Jayhawk Co-op in a slow division III contest that was marred by many fouls. Battenfeld "B" won from Acacia "B" 33 to 11. Acacia's were too slow in getting started, and scored only 2 points during the entire first half.
Junius Penny and Johnson tied for top scoring honors with Newman I with 11 points each. On the same team, services of Al Heck, "Shorty" Gibbens, Paul Hardman, and Marvin Vandaveer, rugged grid men, were used. The engineers put up a scrappy resistance to the bigger Newman boys all the way. Clyde McKale chalked up 6 points to be high scoring man for that delegation.
In division B, Sigma Chi "B" defeated Sig Ep "B" 28 to 8. Bill Stowits, fed by lanky Craig Howes, led the scoring attack for the Sigma Chi's, and "Bud" Adams helped in the tight defense that held Sig Ep to three points during the second half. Sig Ep Coach "Curlie" Hayden experimented with various combinations, but couldn't get a team with scoring punch out on the floor.
