UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1941
As the baseballers prepare for their opening game with Kansas State next Monday, a noticeable decrease in errors is evident. . . The skinned infield is not the smoothest in the world and errors were numerous in early sessions, but now miscues are not only becoming fewer but several fielding gems are turned in every day.
It looks like "Phog" Allen's plea for power hitters may be answered by Ed Hall, Ramie Beims, "Red" Thompson, Allen Nipper, and Bob Holmer, who have all been getting distance in their blows . . . Knute Kresie, Bob Allen, and Larry Johnston are good line drive hitters who can drive the ball through the infield consistently.
Johnny Krum, promising shortstop, was clipped on the elbow by one of T. P. Hunter's pitches yesterday and was forced to leave the game . . . Miller Cameron, former Jayhawker star, batted in the winning run as Oklahoma's freshmen defeated the varsity 3-2 recently.
Coach Leroy Timm, of the Iowa State ball club, rigged up a hitting contrivance for his players to practice with indoors since the weather hexed outdoor practice until April 1... Center Dick Wolgast and Halfback Gene Snyder, Kansas State football lettermen, have received their draft papers and probably will not be back next fall.
Harold Byrd, Oklahoma's student mat coach, won the 123-pound title at the national A.A. U. wrestling meet in New York last Saturday . . Be sure to tune in on KFKU at 9:30 tonight when "Fhog" Allen, Vie Hurt, and Guy Keeler give "Football: Ten Years of Life," the once over.
Wesley Foundation To Hold Symbolic Worship Service

Four Champs Defend Relays Titles
Four defending champions in the individual events will head the starstudded field which competes in the nineteenth annual Kansas Relays here, April 18 and 19.
A two-time winner, Jack Hughes of Texas, will be out to make it a clean sweep in the discus throw. The burly senior won his event in 1939 with a heave of 151 feet 9 inches and improved on that by a foot and a half last year.
A great high jumper, lanky Don Boydston of Oklahoma A. & M., will defend the title he won here in 1940. Boydston's winning jump was a leap of 6 feet 6 inches, two inches below a mark that he has already made this year.
pole vaulting ace, was tied by Dick Higgins of Missouri. Bryan has graduated now, but Higgins will be back to win the title in his event outright.
Myron Piker of Northwestern Big Ten sprint king, is the defending champion in the 100-yard dash. He was nosed out by George Franck of Minnesota at the Big Ten indoor meet this winter, but holds a wide margin over Franck in their all-time rivalry. The Minnesota ace is another of the stars who will compete in the Relays.
Runnersup of last year in the 1941 Relays will be Walt Revell of Pittsburgh Teachers in the 120 yard high hurdles and Loren Creese of Colorado in the shot put. Revell finished second behind Gatewood of Texas, while Creese lost to Hackney of Kansas State.
Biggest surprise of the 1940 meet came when Beefus Bryan, Texas
South Paws Bid For Mound Job
Two southpaws, T. P. Hunter and Bill Atwell, worked on the mound in the practice game yesterday which was cut short at the end of the third inning by a hail storm with Hunter's team leading 3-2.
Higgins Tries Again
Ramie Beims, veteran outfielder, and Allen Nipper, sophomore shortstop, were the batting heroes of the day. Beims drove in two runs with a double and a single while Nipper socked a home run and a single in two trips to the plate. Bob Allen, first baseman, lined a double over third base for the only other extra-base hit.

Job Placement Total Mounts
Business placement bureau conferences have begun earlier this year than usual. F. T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, said today.
More students have been interviewed than is custmary this early in the spring. There is a substantial demand for men and women who can go to work immediately, but the School of Business has been unable to supply such persons.
Approximately 40 per cent of the men who will be graduated in June will not be available for the general placement market because of military service, continuation in the School of Law or the Graduate School, or because they are going into family businesses.
There has been an unusual demand for students in accounting and sales. These businesses are usually more flourishing in the fall than in the spring, Stockton said.
