UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 1941
WITH THE ARRIVAL of warm weather, athletes all over the country are forsaking stuffy gymnasiums to frolic in the out-of-doors. Most of the winter sports made their last stand yesterday as the state high school tournaments at Emporia, Hutchinson, and Salina; the N.C.A.A. playoffs at Kansas City and Madison, Wis.; and the A.A.U. championships at Denver were completed. Only a few scattered track meets and the N.C.A.A. national championship game at Kansas City Saturday night remain on the indoor slate.
Meanwhile, spring sports will shift into high . . . Gwinn Henry's gridders have reached the scrimmage stage and fans who drop down to the practice field these days can expect to see some honest-to-goodness football . . . On the diamond, a green squad of baseballlers are acquiring polish and hustle under the direction of "Phog" Allen . . . Indoor track makes its curtain bow tomorrow night at the A. A. U. meet in Kansas City and almost any day the thinclads will emerge from the shelter of the indoor track under the stadium and appear on the outdoor oval . . . The tennis team takes to the courts this week while the golfers are already touring the links . . . And in organized houses, intramural softball teams are taking shape on paper.
Bill Beven, Jayhawker vaulter and co-captain of the track team, is coaching track at Oread High School and claims to have several excellent prospects on his squad . . . Jayhawk infielders who are victims of bad hops on the rough diamond refer to it as "Hogan's Brickyard."
FROM FOREIGN FIELDS: Texas University's baseballers believe in starting the season the hard way . . . Their first game was with the Boston Bees . . . Mound candidates include Udell Moore, who played basketball against Kansas this winter, and Beefus Bryan, pole vaulter of Kansas Relays fame . . . Bob Steuber, crack Missouri dash man who was a sensation at end as a sophomore l2st fall, has been shifted to the backfield in spring practice.

Compete With Stars In AAU Carnival
By ALAN HOUGHTON
A field of stars, led by four world record holders, is set for another attack on old marks in the Missouri Valley indoor track meet in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City tomorrow night, Bill Hargiss, chairman of the Missouri Valley track committee, said todav.
Fred Wolecott, holder of both the 60-yard indoor low and high hurdles world's records, will compete in both events. Marsh Farmer, who has tied Wolcott's high hurdle mark and has beaten
him once this year, will offer Rice competition in the highs.
In the pole vault Earl Meadows,world's champion leads a star-studded field.
John Borican, who holds the world's records in the 600 and 1000 yard runs, will enter those two events in Kansas City.
A special mite feature will have four entrants. Walter Mehl, the outstanding miler of 1941, John Munski, Big Six title holder, Ray Harris, Big Six record holder in the 2-mile, and Rayburn Gordon of St. Louis will vie for honors.
Gregory Rice who has not been defeated in the 2-mile for 2 years, has not sent in his entry blank and it is no known yet whether he will compete in the special two mile race.
For the Kansas City high schools there will be four special events, a 60-yard dash and an 800-yard relay for each city.
Compete Unattached
In the 23 events of the meet will be about 200 participants. Universities and colleges of the Missouri Valley are sending their men unattached to abide by conference rules. Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State, and most of the teachers' colleges of Kansas and Missouri have sent in entries.
Fifteen members of the University of Kansas track squad are entering the meet unattached.
They are, Bill Beven, John Michener, and Jim Cordell in the pole vault; Don Pollom, Fred Eberhardt, Orlando Epp, and Ken Hamilton in the mile relay; Al Poznik, Clarence Miller, Don Thompson, and Dick Edwards in the two mile relay; Ralph Schaake and Larry Finney in the shot put; J. R. Jones in the broadump; and Norman Sanneman in the high jump.
Surprise
★★★★
Fencers Arrive
When the Kansas City University fencing team arrived on the campus Friday night, the Jayhawker fencers were taken by surprise. Coach James H. Raport had not received an acceptance of his invitation to the Knasas City team for the meet, but he quickly rounded up a squad. The women fencers were not to be found, but Raport found enough of the men's team to subdue the Kansas Citians 6-3. Haven Glassmire swept his three matches, William Belt took two out of three, and Fred Lawson won one out of three. Kansas City fencers were Mehman, Lassiter, Hattaway, De Cloud, and Toole.
The meet will require at least two days to complete and possibly three, Elbel said. He called attention to a new regulation which allows each organization to enter one member of the freshman swimming team provided he is a member of that orgnaization. Other freshman members of the swimming team may compete unattached.
The men's spring intramural program gets under way Tuesday with the annual swimming meet, Dr. E R. Elbel, director of intramural athletics, announced yesterday.
Swimming Meet Entries Due Tomorrow
This year's meet will see a new champion crowned. Since the Galloping Dominoes, who won the title last year with 114 points, are not competing. The Newman club will be a strong contender, however with ex-Dominoes in their membership. Last year the Sigma Chi's won second with 53 points, and the Phi Delts were third with 48.
The events are: 300-yard medley relay, 50-yard breast stroke, 100-yard dash, 50-yard back stroke diving, 100-yard back stroke, diving, 100-yard back yard relay.
Entries for the swimming meet are due tomorrow. The meet starts at 4:30 Tuesday and swimming suits are required.

Large Squad Trys Out For Baseball
Only one regular returns from the Kansas team which finished in the cellar last year and experienced players are at a premium.
A total of 46 candidates have signified their intentions of trying out for the baseball team and 30 to 40 have been turning out for practice every night, "Phog" Allen, head coach, said yesterday. Allen plans to carry about half of that squad as his first team.
"We have a huge rebuilding job ahead of us," says Allen, "but we are going to give the fans a fighting team, with the emphasis on playing a college brand of baseball." Ed Holl Returns
Five 1940 lettermen and one 1939 letter winner comprise the nucleus around which Allen will build his ball club. Ineligible last spring, but back in the faculty's good graces now is Ed Hall, regular catcher in 1939
From last year's team return Forrest "Knute" Kresie, pitcher and jack of all trades; John Burge, pitcher; Ramie Beims, outfielder; "Red" Thompson, first baseman; and Milo Munsinger, third baseman. Kresie was the only regular of the five.
The candidates are Al Wabausee, Bob Allen, Forrest Kresie, Allen Nipper, Dean Martin, G. D. Dean, John Krum, Charles Forsyth, Paul Wolf, Jim Eads, Weymouth Lowe, Milo Munsinger, Armen Landis, Herbert Morrell, Larry Johnson, Toby Brumback, Kenneth Dunn, Louis Thompson, Carl Sutton, Delmar Green.
