Badminton Star Instructs
Ken Shedd, rated one of the two greatest badminton professionals in the world, is conducting a series of exhibitions and lessons this week and next in Robinson gymnasium in conjunction with the physical education program. He has stopped at K.U. on his way to Chicago, where he will resume his duties as professional badminton instructor at the Evanston country club and the Chicago badminton club.
While at K.U., he hopes to get students interested in kadminton, and to instruct the physical education faculty in the teaching methods of the sport. Here since last Saturday, he has already gained a following of about 80 students and faculty members.
Mr. Shedd's capability as a badminton professional is unquestioned. In the past year alone, he has given 3,200 lessons. He managed the St. Louis
municipal badminton tournament this summer, in which 2,800 people took part, and saw his pupils win championships in the singles, doubles and mixed doubles in the national badminton tournament in Cleveland Ohio.
With Ken Davidson, Mr. Shedd is rated tops in the professional badminton field. The two men are such good friends that they both rate each other as No. 1.
One of the highest honors of his career came to Mr. Shedd when Dr. Staley, chairman of the department of physical education at the University of Illinois, asked him to conduct and coach a three day clinic for badminton teachers. This clinic will take place December 1, 2, and 3 at Urbana, Ill.
productions in Hollywood. He has also given lessons to such moving picture stars as Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, and Tyrone Power.
Before he became a professional in Badminton, Mr. Shedd, as a coach of tennis, was listed eighth in the national rankings of tennis professionals. He has also played professional baseball on the west coast with the Sacramento Bees. When he was in high school, he pitched within a week two no-hit, no-run games against Stanford University.
In the past several years, the short, wiyr expert has made two short subjects on badminton for RKO Radio
His outstanding badminton exhibitions have given Mr. Shedd a national reputation. He will become even better known, however, around the first of next year, when the February issue of Esquire will publish a 2800-word article written by him on the playing of badminton. Life magazine will also feature him in a series of action pictures displaying how badminton should be played.
I.W.W., Kappas Net Gamesters
The 1940-1941 Women's Volleyball championship tournament was won by the L.W.W. team, which defeated the Kappas in the finals.
The I.W.W.'s were outstanding for their coordination, short passes, and set-ups for spikes. Evelyn Herriman, winner of eight intramural medals will be back to lead the I.W.W. team. Marge Rader and Kathryn Schaake will support the team again this year.
Corbin Hall won their division in volleyball last year, being defeated later by the Kappas. Mildred Wells, one of the key-players and intramural manager for Corbin, stated today that the Corbin volley ball team played exceptionally well in practice. The loss of "Squeak" Grizzell will naturally be a handicap to the team but Phyllis Struble, Althea Bingham, and Mary Long are holding down their old positions. In addition to this line-up, Dement and Moon are outstanding girls who are playing in intramurals for their first year. Corbin will once again be a great threat.
The Kappas, who won the volleyball tournament for the organized houses, will miss Ellen Irwin, who was one of the three high-point girls in the intramurals last year. Lo Smith, another high point girl, Shirley Irwin, and Mary Beth Dodge will be back to lead the Kappa team. Good freshman prospects will strengthen the Kappas in their title defense.
Dean Smith Speaks At Teachers Meeting
"The Responsibility of Educators in the Present Crisis" was the subject of an address by George Baxter Smith, dean of the School of Education, when he talked to Reno county teachers in Hutchinson last night.
Prof. John W. Ashton of the English department will preside tomorrow as chairman of the English section of the Educational Clinic.
Today Dean Smith will speak at the annual Educational Clinic meeting at Winfield.
Teachers and administrators throughout the state are invited to the seminars and round-table meetings

240 March in Lantern Parade
Everyone was grand to us and we loved it! Faculty and former students were patient, understanding that we are just green freshies, wandering around in a daze. Now we are eager to pitch in and become a part of the life we see around us-yes, now it's up to us!
Although two University activities were postponed to later dates because of yesterday's rain, more than 240 girls swung their lanterns through damp weather last night to climax the annual W.S.G.A.-Y.W.C. A. supper with their traditional lantern parade.
Following the buffet-style supper in the Memorial Union ballroom, and a short song practice there, leader Helen Edlin set the path toward Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott's home where the girls sereaed.
Individual numbers on the serenade may vary, but always after the presentation of roses to the Chancellor's wife, the women sing "Moonlight and Roses" and the final "Alma Mater." Other selections this year included "Harvest Moon," "Sweet Sue," "Down By The Old Mill Stream," "There's a Long, Long Trail A-Winding," "Victory Song," and "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing." Dorothy Park contributed a whistling speciality, Cecilia Goncalves a South American song, and Winifred Hill, the piano accompaniment.

"Once you have these men on the inside of the University looking out, feeling that they are a part of the school, instead of on the outside looking in." Coach Replogle concluded, "Then you have a bunch of good athletes on your hands."
