UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1941.
Appointment of Henry A. Shenk to the faculty of the department of physical education at the University of Kansas was announced today by Dr. F. C. Allen, head of the department.
Shenk, who has been coaching at Junction City high school, will take the place in the department of James H. Raport. The latter is leaving to take a position as assistant professor of physical education and director of intramurals at Alabama Poly, or Auburn as it is better known.
Shenk received his degree from the University of Kansas in 1928, majoring in physical education. During the 1926 and 1927 seasons he was a first string end on the Jayhawk football team.
Class of '28
During his long tenure as coach at Junction City high school, Shenk has earned an enviable reputation, turning out championship teams in all sports annually. In addition to his coaching duties, Shenk was director of physical education at the high school.
Know In Prep Circles
"We are happy to secure one of the most popular young administrators in the state," said Doctor Allen in announcing the appointment. "Shenk is a man of fine character and with an outstanding personality. He will give us a very favorable tieup with the high schools of the state, numbering many principals and superintendents among his friends." Shenk will do no coaching, his duties being limited to teaching.

In center field will be Herbie Gregg, the tiny forward who gave the Jayhawkers a bad night on the basketball court last winter. Pitching for Missouri will be Bob Steuber, fleet football and track star, and Tom Huge, who hurled a four-hit victory over Nebraska.
Headliner on the Tiger squad will be the famous Paul Christman, All-American backfelder, who is playing the initial bag and is tabbed as a great prospect by major league scouts.
Softball games scheduled for today at 4:30 at the intramural fields are Tennessee club vs. Templin hall, Dunakin club vs. Theta Tau, Newman I vs. Pfluigerville Flashes, Kappa Sig vs. Sigma Chi, Delta Chi vs. Battenfeld hall, and P A. D. vs. Beta II.

On hand for relief duty on the hill will be T. P. Hunter and Bob Allen, who will double at first when not pitching.
As the Jayhawker baseball squad prepares to open its home season against the Missouri Tigers here Monday afternoon, Coach Forrest C. Allen is intent on strengthening his lineup.
He plans to place the veteran Eddie Hall at shortstop to give the infield an experienced hand and has thrown second base open to all comers. Delmar Green, Bob Holmer, John Krum, and Al Wabaunsee are all tryin gout for the keystone sack.
Dean Martin apparently has won the center field berth, with Pitcher Johnny Burge and Ramie Beims roaming the other two gardens. Kresie To Start
"Phog" plans to use Forrest "Knute" Kresie on the mound against the Bengals here Monday and Burge in the second game Tuesday. Dick Pierce will catch.
Net Matches Results Due Tomorrow
All second round results in intramural singles tournaments must be in the intramural office by tomorrow, Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of intramural athletics, said this morning.
Third round results are due Wednesday, May 7, before 6 p.m. at the intramural office, 107 Robinson gym.

Ping Pong Tourney Ready for Entries
Another table tennis tournament is set to start at the Memorial Union building. Monday is the deadline for entries, and the first rounds will be played Wednesday.
The tourney will be speedy. All matches will be played in less than two weeks, and medals awarded first and second place winners.
Anyone interested in competing may sign up in the Union recreation room or at the hostess desk upstairs. At the ping pong tournament last fall more than 95 men and 35 women were entered. The intramural committee hopes to have even more in the spring contest.

John Buescher Sparkles In Scrimmage Session
With "Thin Man" Johnny Buescher sparking the attack, the Whites defeated all comers in last night's basketball scrimmage in Robinson gym.
In addition to pouring nine points through the hoop, Buescher played a scrappy rebound game and was the key man on all plays. No other performer?
Allen opened the practice session with a rebounding demonstration, using Freshman Coach Gordon Gray as his model. Then he worked on defensive fundamentals, using combinations of two forwards on one defensive guard, three on two, and finally had full teams participating.
With an abundance of material to work with, Allen hopes to mould an airtight defense next year.
"In the last few years, our teams have won simply because we could outscore our opponents in spite of the fact that our defense was leaking badly. Next year, our motto will be 'Hold them in the teens' and if we do that, the offense will take care of itself."
Spring practice sessions will terminate next week, but Allen plans to begin drills early next fall, and not wait for the football players on the squad to report before holding intensive drills.
"Housing on the College Campus" was the subject of a talk by Henry Werner, adviser of men, who spoke before the Women's club of Topeka this morning.
As he ended the session, Doctor Allen urged the players to stay in training. "The boys that do not train will not have good seasons," he said. "They may stick with the team but they will not help it much. Our great teams in the past trained consistently. You may think you can quit smoking during the season, but it won't work."
"Next year's squad will be young and green but will have power," Allen said. "In a year or two it will also have finesse."
