ftball Playoffs Commence Today
Softball Playo Beta's, Phi Delt's. Phi Psi's, Sig Ep's Favored To Win
BY MAURICE BARINGER
The Phi Delt and Beta softball teams are regarded as the strongest of the eight teams in the softball playoffs. Both were undefeated in their divisions.
The Alpha Chi Sigma and Pflugerville Pflashes teams also won their divisions without any defeats but competition in those
The Sig Ep's and Phi Psi's are not to be disregarded. The Sig Ep's defeated the Pflashes last night in a practice game 10-8. The Newman II team also defeated the Pflashes in a practice game earlier in the season.
divisions was not as tough as that the Beta's and Phi Delt's encountered.
Tennessee Meets Beta's
This afternoon the Beta's play the Tennessee club. The Beta's should win this game. The Tennessee club
"Unless the rain makes the diamonds too muddy, the softball playoffs will proceed as scheduled this afternoon," Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of intramurals, said at 2 o'clock.
team finished second to the Pflashes with four wins against one loss, two of which were forfeits.
The Phi Delt's are heavy favorites over the Newman II team. The Phi Delt's are good hitters and Ray Evans is one of the best pitchers in intramural softball. The other teams in Division II did not find the Newman's pitchers so hard to hit so the Phi Delt's should not have much trouble.
The Pfugerville Pflashes and the Phi Psi's meet this afternoon in the third playoff game. The Psi's suffered one loss in the regular schedule, losing to the Beta's. However, they had some trouble in winning from Battenfeld hall 7-6. They looked impressive in defeating the Sigma Nu's 25-4 in four innings. The Pflashes do not have the softball experience that the Psi's have and this may work to their disadvantage. SIG Ep's Surprise Team
The Sig Ep's and the Alpha Chi Sigma's meet in the other playoff game this afternoon. This should be the closest game of the afternoon. The Alpha Chi Sigma's were undefeated in division play but did not come up against any particularly strong teams. The Sig Ep's were the surprise team of the year in finishing second. Dopesters expected them to finish in the lower half of their division.
No doubt there will be some upsets this afternoon or tomorrow when this afternoon's winners play again. However, on the basis of previous play, there should be happiness at the Phi Delt, Beta, Phi Psi and Sig Ep houses tonight.
Bob Stoland, Jayhawk broad-jumper, is one man on the track squad who usually comes through when "the chips are down." In nearly every meet he has made his best jump on his last trial. Last Saturday in the Missouri duel he was in third place before his last jump; then came through with a 22 feet $11 \frac{1}{4}$ inch leap to win.
Kansas is doped as a contender for last place at the Big Six conference track meet at Lincoln this weekend . . . What is responsible for the present track situation? . . .
Here are three reasons:
Ted Kinney, star of the 1938 Jayhawk freshman team and a former Wyandotte High School ace, won the Southeastern Conference discus championship for Tennessee Saturday . Dick Overfield, outstanding performer on the 1939 Kansas freshman team, is now California junior college state sprint champion at Compton J.C. . Jack Bellman, who looked like another Cunningham last year as a Jayhawk freshman, won the mile run for Pittsburg Teachers, Saturday.
Short Shots: Bernie Weiner and Bill Nicholas, Kansas State gridders, are state weight-lifting champions in the heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions respectively . . . Paul Lindeman, center on Washington State's N. C. A. A. basketball finalists last winter, has signed to play with Bartlesville next year.
The two-mile run in a southern college track meet the other day was the setting for a track oddity . . . Walter Spain, former Birmingham high school runner, dropped into the race uninvited and ran four laps before being noticed . . . It took five policeman and three track officials to yank him out of his fourth place position, but he broke away a few seconds later and was away again . . . Spain finished an unofficial fifth and coaches agree he would have won the race, had it not been for the constabular interference.

Yearling Trackmen Vie For Numerals
Today is the first of two fateful days for freshman track prospects.
Today is the first of two fateral days for freshman track prospects. All freshmen who have hopes of making a name for themselves in track will compete in the annual freshman track meet this afternoon. Winners will be awarded freshman numerals.
At 4:30, mile candidates will see who is to fill Glenn Cunningham's shoes. This event will be followed by the 440-yard run, the 100-yard dash, 120-yard high hurdles, pole vault, shot put, and high jump.
Events scheduled for tomorrow are the half mile run, 220-yard dash. 220-yard low hurdles, javelin, discus and broad jump.
Coach Bill Hargiss stresses the fact that the meet is open to any freshman who desires to compete, regardless of whether he has been working out with the team this spring.
Coronado Shirts Set Style Parade
Leonard Axe, professor of economics, and general chairman of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration, will blossom out soon in Coronado colors to start the ball rolling and set the style pace for the student body to follow.
The Coronado celebration is another integral part of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration. "The merchants of Lawrence are giving full cooperation in ordering colorful shirts, bolero's and sombrero's for the students," Axe said.
The Entrada de Coronado is for seniors, students, alumni, merchants and all those interested. It is much the same show that is held every September 1-4 in Santa Fe, N.Mex., which is an annual Fiesta that attracts people from all over the world.
There are several hundred people who are taking part in the celebration. The part of Coronado will be taken by H. W. Hargiss, University track coach.
Trackmen Hope To Show Up Experts
Although relegated to last place by the "Experts" in the Big Six meet next Saturday at Lincoln, Coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss' Jayhawker track team stands to show up much better than that in actual competition.
Opposing the co-favorites, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma, will be a bunch of Jayhawks certain to garner points. Chief among them will be Dick Edwards, lanky distance man, and Norman Sanneman and Bob $ ^{\circ} $
Stoland, the "high jumping twins."
Edwards established himself as the favorite to cop the two mile race by his victory over Lane of Missouri last Saturday in duel competition. In comparative times Lane had run the distance one-tenth of a second faster than the Jayhawker but in competition Edwards was the victor. Dick also ranks as a contender in the mile, even though he has not approached the time of Ginn of Nebraska or Smethers of Oklahoma.
Sanneman and Stoland may both break the high jump record set at 6 feet $37\frac{1}{8}$ inches by Newblock of Oklahoma in 1932. Sanneman has jumped 6 feet 6 inches twice this year and both he and Stoland have cleared 6 feet 4 inches several times. Stoland also should win points in the broadjump. His leap of 22 feet $11\frac{3}{4}$ inches in the Tiger duel last week was one of the best jumps of the current season.
The Jayhawkers are capable 00 points in other events too. Darrell Mathes, co-captain and sprint star, may place in both the sprints. Hargiss is working him on his starts and this should give him the added
speed necessary to establish him as a dark horse in both the century and furlong.
John Michener, with several vaults over 13 feet, does not rank as a favorite in that event, but he should place. Should Don Pollom, hurdler, and Orlando Epp, quarter miler, who are nursing injuries, be in shape for the meet, their performances will probably add more points to the Jayhawk total.
On paper the Jayhawkers seem to have a chance of placing at least fourth and they stand a good chance of third, the place they held in the indoor meet last winter.
Table Tennis Tourney Under Way Again
Only men have entered the tournament, and no doubles matches will be played. A medal will be awarded to the winner of first place.
After a brief postponement, the Union table tennis tournament has begun again. A shortage of entries prohibited the anticipated large tournament. A total of 39 students are in the competition, and will finish the second round of play by tomorrow noon.
