UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SUNDAY, APRIL 6, 1941.
A MUDDY practice field prevented the baseballers from exercising their muscles Friday afternoon, so they gave their brains a little workout instead . . . "Phog" Allen assembled his squad in a lecture room under the stadium for a session concerning rules and regulations . . . Ernie Quigley, former chief of the National League umpires and now publicity director of the circuit, was the instructor.
FOR OVER an hour, "Quig", who knows his rule book like a Summerfield knows his A B C's, answered questions, quoted rules, and drew diagrams on the blackboard . . . By the time he was finished, most of the players had a fair idea of how the well-bred athlete will conduct himself on the diamond this year to avoid trouble with rules and umpires.
QUIGLEY LEFT a baseball which had been used in the 1940 World Series and instructed him to present it to the player who was elected captain . . . He also left some miniature bat pen and pencil sets to be given to outstanding players . . . Allen plans to sharpen the players' knowledge of the rules by giving them quizzes from time to time with prizes for the highest scores.
Jayhawks Meet K-State In First Baseball Game
WITH VIRGIL WARD turning in a five-hit pitching job, Oklahoma defeated the Oklahoma Aggies, 11-9 this week . . . . Most of the runs came as a result of seven Sooner infield errors . . . . Marquette won only two out of 15 basketball games this season, but one of their victims was Wisconsin, the national champion . . . . Northwestern, Minnesota, and Missouri have filed entries for the university division in the Kansas Relays.

Everything Happens to Me
When the umpire bawls out "pay ball" tomorrow afternoon and the first batter steps into the box on the University baseball diamond, the 1941 Kansas baseball season will be officially under way.
POPULAR RECORDS
The Jayhawks will be trading base hits with the Wildcats from Kansas State in the first of a two game series as they attempt to climb out of the cellar position in the Big Six which they occupied last year. The second game of the series will be played Tuesday afternoon.
Bob Holmer appears to have beaten Dorus Munsinger, a letterman, out of the third base job. Munsinger has the edge on fielding but Holmer swings a harder club.
"Phog" Allen, head baseball coach has named Forrest "Knute" Kresie and Ed Hall as his opening battery. Kresie, a junior, was the ace of the mound corps last year while Hall was the regular receiver in 1939, but was ineligible last spring.
Allen has planned his lineup to include as many hard hitters as possible and the game will likely find Bob Allen, a pitcher, occupying first base. Al Wabaunsee, a little Indian second baseman, and Allen Nipper, a short stop with home run power in his bat will guard the keystone sack.
Ramie Beins and "Red" Thompson, a pair of veterans will patrol left and right field respectively, with Larry Johnston, a senior playing his first year of college baseball, in center.

Racqueteers Entertain Augustana

Owing to bad weather, Prof. R. S. Howey, tennis coach, has not been able to hold play-offs to determine the Kansas players, but Conrad Voelker, the lone returning letterman, Bill Howard, Bob Trump, and Francis Domingo are expected to bear the brunt of the Jayhawk court game.
