THE CZAR OF INTRAMURALS
One of the best-liked men on the University of Kansas campus is Dr. E. R. Elbel, associate professor in the physical education department, supervisor of the men's intramural program, general manager of the Kansas Relays, and broadcasting speaker deluxe. In addition to all his above named duties, he teaches classes. Despite his numerous tasks, rarely does Elbel get the praise and appreciation due him.
In directing the men's intramural program for 14 years, Elbel has had a man-sized job. Included in his actual intramural routine is listening to endless complaints, drawing up brackets and tournament for individual and team play, arranging numerous postponements, disciplining guilty athletes, securing competent officials, and handling an intramural board of ten students who aid in the running off of the program.
Ed Elbel graduated from Springfield College, Mass., in 1920 with B.Ph.Ed. degree. Seven years later, he returned to Springfield to get his Master
degree. From 20 to 22 Ed served as physical director of the Tulsa Y.M.C. A., then for five years was athletic director and a three-sport coach at Ottawa University. It was at Ottawa that Fibel obtained his B.S. degree.
From Ottawa, Elbel moved to Mt. Oread, where he has been ever since. In 1938. Ed got his Ph.D. at Iowa.
In his capacity as general manager of the Kansas Relays for the last ten years, Elbel has had the tedious task of arranging the entire mechanics of the meet. If you don't think that is a job, drop around Elbel's office in Robinson gym next spring from March on and take a glance at the Relays data.
THE INTRAMURAL PROGRAM
"We aim at an all-around intramural program which will allow as many students as possible participation in as many sports as possible," commented Dr. Elbel in his office today, "in other words, we want all
DR. ELBEL
students to have a chance to take part in their chosen sport, as much as our limited facilities will accommodate them."
Since the arrival of Elbel, the intramural program has expanded greatly. It was largely through Elbel's efforts that this increase in sports and facilities was enlarged. During the last few years, 6-man football, "B" and "C" team basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, handball, and tennis have been added to the program.
However, according to Elbel, this program could even be more expansive if it were not for the great numbers of teams and players clamoring to compete. If our present limited facilities were enlarged, even more students could be taken care of by the university intramural program.
Even burdened with the duties of the intramural office and the annual Kansas Relays, Elbel manages to handle the role of master of ceremonies for most University programs, is a spectator at many intramural contests, and rates as one of the physical education department's ace instructors. Hats off to one of the best in Ed Elbel!
KANSAN'S BIG SIX--performed behind Missouri's or Oklahoma's line.
Just fair on defense and no stand-out as a ball-lugger, Miller was was the finest when it came to corner kicking and spot passing. Miller was a money player and came through in the clutches, as the Iowa State and Kansas State game records show. Ray Evans was the defensive tackling star for the Jay-hawks at Nebraska, and again at Oklahoma, in addition to being Miller's best pass-target, a line-driving runner, and the best open-field blocker seen this year.
Jack Jacobs, a real triple-threater, and Junior Golding, a state high school sensation two years ago, are Sooner backs that cinched two of the second team berths. Mike Zelezik, bottled up in the Kansas game, but the miracle man of the Kansas State victory over Nebraska, rates
This leaves off "Red" Wade, Tiger star of the Oklahoma game; Orv Mathews, Sooner speedster; and Howard DeBus, the bright light in a dismal Cornhusker season. However, one has to draw the line somewhere.
a halfback position while Dale Bradley, Nebraska's thunderbolt, is placed in the fourth spot.
Conley, Hodge Are Co-Captains

A triom from the runner-up Beta eleven were awarded first team positions—guard Fred Eberhardt, tackle Tom Lillard, and end John Short. The versatile Larry Hensley, Kappa Sig; the spark-plug of the scrappy Pfashes, John Pfitsch; and Hodge's ace receiver, end Mike Sheridan, round out the first team selections.
For the first time in intramural history the Daily Kansan has given the officials, intramural managers and players the right to select their own all-star teams. In a poll conducted this weekend jointly by the university intramural office and the Kansan, the popular selections were made and tabulated. Fifteen first and second teams were returned, and allowing two points for a first team berth and one point for a second team spot here are your all-stars.
Co-captaining the all-star first team are the two unanimous choices, John Conley of Phi Gamma Delta

In all of the choices turned in, the voting was rather spread out. However, there was enough consis-
John Short, Beta end, led the flankers with 10 No. 1 votes, and two second team choices. Mike Sheridan, Phi Psi wingman, gathered six first team votes, and five second team choices. Curt Hinshaw, Phi Gam was Sheridan's closest pursuror, with Phi Delt "Ribbie" Woodbury, barely nosing out John Hallberg, Phi Psi, by two votes.
Tom Lillard, aggressive Beta and a repeater from last year's all-star, led the tackle poll, being on 11 first teams and one second outfit. Olson grabbed the other tackle position with Walt Jones, Phi Psi, pressing him closely. Dick Brown, Kappa Sig, managed to beat out Larry Nelson, Sigma Chi, for the other second team place.
