First Workout For Baseball Hopefuls Today
From basketball to baseball in a day. That's the story of Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen.
Last night's basketball game ended temporarily Allen's basketball coaching duties and began his reign as Jayhawk baseball coach. The recently appointed baseball mentor meets with varsity candidates for the first time this afternoon.
With only five of last year's squad of 26 returning, "Phog" has a difficult month of rebuilding ahead to construct a team for Kansas' first game, with Kansas State April 7.
A Rebuilding Program
More than 35 men have been working out regularly in the gymnasium since Allen issued his first call for candidates several weeks
ggo. The varsity aspirants have not handled a baseball in practice, but have worked on gradual conditioning by calisthenics, skipping rope, and punching the bag.
"We have to start from the beginning," Coach Allen said today. "In past years little emphasis has been placed on baseball here, and coaches have changed from year to year, giving little chance to build up a permanent baseball program." Miller Cameron, letterman infielder of last year, transferred to Oklahoma to play baseball under "Jap" Haskell; Larry Hensley, this year's captain failed to return; and other material has been lost because of no definite baseball policy.
"We plan to keep Kansas baseball essentially a college game and we will play it as an unmate game, the same as we play basketball here. We will play the game with a lot
of hustle and drive, and give the fans a team they will enjoy seeing play." Allen said.
Two Experienced Hurlers Back
Physical fitness will be stressed, the new coach told players at their first meeting. Until the sun warms the ground sufficiently the baseballers will train indoors. "Working outdoors with the ground still damp and cold, is one of the main causes of pulled muscles. We will get into condition gradually to prevent any muscle strain," said "Phog."
Knute Kresie and John Burge are two lettermen pitchers returning. Masing from last year's moundsmen will be Jack Sands and Henry Horak. Other lettermen returning are Louis "Red" Thompson, first baseman and utility man; Dorus Munsinger, infielder; and Ramie Beims, outfielder.
Candidates with experience who have reported include:
Elmo Maiden, Ban Johnson, experience, infielder; John Stotts, infielder; Delmar Green, independent ball Northwest Kansas and Nebraska league, infielder; Dick Pierce, American Legion and city league, catcher; Steve Meade, Industrial league, first basemen; Albert Wabaunsee, independent ball, infielder.
John Krum, independent ball,
outfield; Dean Martin, independent
ball, outfielder; F. L. "Tony" Brum-
back, American Legion ball, right-
fielder; Chuck Dalrymple, outfielder;
and Allen Nipper, Ban Johnson ball,
infielder.

BETA, NEWMAN---
(continued from page four)
II, with Eugene Sanneman pacing the attack, built up an 18 to 10 first half score. The final half was a runaway with the Newman offense clicking at its best. Especially proficient Newman players in this final half scoring spree were Paul Hardman and Elmo Maiden. Stellar performer for the losing Delta Chi's was big Jim Zimmerman, who rebounded splendidly and topped his team's scoring list.
Beta, Phi Delt "C's" Win
An underrated Beta "C" upset the defending champion Phi Psi "C" 13 to 12 to move into the "C" team finals against the Phi Delt "C". Phi Delt "C" won easily from Sigma Chi "C" 32 to 13.
Stars in the Beta "C" triumph were Dick Chubb and Fred Olander. Chubb was the only Beta who could hit from the field in the first half, scoring five of his team's first seven points. Olander hit the final goal which proved to be the margin of victory. Stars in defeat for the Phi Psi's were Jack Horner and Russ Atkinson. During the season, the Phi Psi's had won easily from the Beta's.
With Dave Prager gathering six field goals, the Phi Delt's were never in trouble. Coach Warren Newcomer used three different combinations against the Sigma Chi's. The half score was 15 to 7 in the Phi Delt's favor. Other stars were Bill Hertzler, Sigma Chi, and Bob Scott, Phi Delt.

High Schools Demand- Elbel Begins Survey Of Prep Intramurals
Ed R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education, has began a survey of high school intramural athletics. His research will be financed by a special grant from the department of physical education and the graduate research committee.
Questionnaires will be sent to 300 representative schools in 48 states.
Last year Elbel conducted a survey of intramural athletics in colleges, the results of which were published in the December issue of "Amateur Athlete." The success of this venture and de-
Some of the questions asked are:
What are your units of competition?
What person designates the team members? Do you require a specific training period for the various sports? What events are included in your programs? Do you employ a definite point system? When is your program conducted?
