UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1940
Intramural Semi-Finals Today
"The Beer-barrel that walks like a man," Tony Galento, was telling the newsmen down south that he has no manager—that Harry Mendel and Herman Taylor are doing a temporary fronting for him. . . . Also, that he does not intend to train an ounce until two weeks before his Max Baer fight.
While the team was receiving these blankets, they were also presenting trainer Dean Nesmith, with a combination red wool and blue leather jacket. On the back in blue felt letters was inscribed, "Kansas Trainer". On the inside was a little identification tag, telling that the jacket was given by the Kansas basketball team of 1939-40.
ELWOOD COOKE, United States Lawn Tennis Association protege, is rumored to be getting ready to leave the Association flat, in order to run a sporting goods store.
Again the Kansas cagers have pulled through with more gifts, this time one being presented to them and one being presented by the Western N.C.A.A. champions.
The University gave to the cagers as a gift, a full sized red wool blanket, with blue edges and a large blue "K" in the center. In the corners were inscribed, "Basketball," "Western N.C.A.A. Champions", "Big Six Champions", and the name of each of the 11 players to receive the blankets in the other corner.

ON THE ROAD BACK are the New York Yankees, who have won two straight games, and THAT is really something for the Yanks this year. . . Marvin Breuer, former Kansas City Blues hurler, put the Detroit Tigers down yesterday with only 6-hits. . . Yankee followers think that maybe the World's Champions have found the "road back."
Bus Ham, sports editor of the Daily Oklahoma, tells us that "Nebraska and Iowa State are still running the Big Six." Bus' main kick is that Oklahoma can not use junior college graduates. He continues by saying that Nebraska and Iowa State have comparatively few junior colleges anyway, but that Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri are at a distinct disadvantage because these states do have many junior colleges, and they have many good athletes that are ineligible because they are junior college graduates.
IN THE NEWS AGAIN is Carl Miles, left-handed pitcher for the Missouri Tigers for the past three years, who has just announced that he has signed a contract with the Philadelphia Athletics and that he will join the club next Tuesday. In his three years, Carl won 11 games and lost only four, but we'll not put our money on him for big time stuff as yet. In the Kansas-Missouri game Monday, Miles pitched 7-hit ball, and struck out 11 Jayhawk batters.
Beta's Play Phi Psi's; Sig Alph's Meet Delt's
By Tom Higgins, b'40
The four best softball teams in the University as determined by the elimination tournament and the season's play, will meet this afternoon to determine the two teams that will tangle tomorrow for the championship cup. Beta plays Phi Psi and Sig Aloh will meet Delta Tau Delta.
Alph will meet Delta Tau Delta.
The pre-game favorites are Beta and Sig Alph. Beta is endowed with three strong pitchers and an array of batting talent intended to make the strongest of the opposing pitchers look poor. Hogben probably will be given the starting hurling assignment against the Psi's while Allen is slated to be on the mound for the Red and Green crew.
Hall, this year's strikeout king, will continue as the mainstay of the Sig Alph hurling staff and will be opposed by Cluster.
Though the pitching will determine much of the outcome, a lot depends on the support that the

pitchers get from their "brothers." Each team has many individual stars that will shine brightly today.
Ebling and Harp, basketball stars, are a strong pair of the Alph's who give trouble to every opposing pitcher and also are out there chasing the few balls the opposing batters connect with and rarely do they bobble a chance.
Phi Psi depends much on the support that Kline and Allen give the team. Allen alternates at pitch-

Dethrone Michigan' Indiana
Chicago, May 23—(UP)—Right now, dethroning Michigan as Big Ten track champion is the order of the day down at Indiana. Private feuds are out. But come Saturday, if the luck of the draw falls just right, the two best quarter-milers in Big Ten history—one from Michigan and the other a Hoosier—will renew a bitter rivalry that may decide the team championship.
Baseball games, horseshoe pitching, and a swim have been planned, in addition to a free supper.
Cochran, however, must defend his 220 yard low hurdles crown and also will run the 220 yard dash since the dash field is none too strong. These events, in addition to the gruelling 440, may be too much for the sandy-haired Hoosier bullet unless the draw for Friday's preliminaries spaces his three trials far apart. It's up to Hayes to decide.
Men who have made their first letters this year are included in the group.
Coach E. C. "Billy" Hayes, Indiana's developer of wolrd champions, is wrestling with his conscience. He wants to win the conference title. His trump card, Roy Cochran, wants to meet Michigan's great quartermiler, Warren Breidenbach, in an attack on the 24 year old conference record of 47.4 seconds.
If he goes to the post against Breidenbach, it will be the best conference quarter-mile race of all time. Cochran was the sensation of the winter season, consistently bettering the accepted world record of 48.9 seconds. In the conference indoor championships, he set a new world dirt track record of 48.2.
British Officials Deny Bombing of Dover
London, May 23.— (UP) —The Air Ministry today denied a German high command statement that Dover had been bombed. The German statement was said to be "without foundation."
Sands to Pitch For Jayhawkers Against Cyclones
By Bob Trump, c'43
Jack Sands, the Jayhawk's left handed first-baseman and pitcher, was nominated this morning by Coach Mike Getto to hurl the first of three games in two days, with the Iowa State Cyclones tomorrow at Ames.
Cyclones tomorrow at the Leon Wilson, Iowa State fireball artist, who defeated the Jayhawks 17 to 3 earlier this spring, is scheduled to work the first contest for the Cyclones.
NOTICE FRESHMAN GOLFERS
Thirty-six hole freshman numeral qualifying rounds will be played Friday and Saturday—18 holes Friday afternoon and 18 holes Saturday morning.
William H. Shannon, Coach.
Old Boxing Issue Up Tonight When Ceferino Meets Ken
New York, May 23—(UP)—The issue of whether a boxer can develop a punch by spending endless, tiresome hours in the spartan exercise of lifting glasses in cocktail lounges will be settled for all time tonight when Ken (Primose Path) Overlin fights for the middleweight championship of the world.
His opponent will be Ceferino Garcia, the deadly bolo puncher from the Philippines, who is recognized by the New York Boxing Commission as middleweight champion. Garcia is one of those moss-backed old conservatives, who clings to the idea that the way to train for a fight is to spend hours shadow boxing, doing road work and gulping fresh air. Betting men, skeptical of the new training doctrines expounded by Mr. Overlin, have made Garcia an 11 to 5 favorite to retain his title.
Mr. Overlin dismisses the odds with a sneer, hinting that home of the bettors, who thing fresh air is good for boxers were among the small knot of jeering persons who advised Henry Ford to get a horse when the first automobile rolled down the road.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Saturday, the teams will play two seven-inning games, in order to make up the contest which was rained out here last month. Henry Horak and "Red" Dugan will share the pitching duties.
Thompson to First
While Sands is doing the hurling Friday, "Ted" Thompson will cover first base. Larry Hensley will be on second, Ray Napier at short, and Knute Kresie at third. Getto is hoping that he won't have to hand Kresie another pitching assignment this year, because the little right hander is still hampered by a back injury. However, if worst comes to worst, Getto may wave Kresie to the mound.
The series between the Cyclones and the Jayhawks will have no effect on the position of either team in the conference stanidngs. The Iowa State nine is sure to finish in fourth place, and the Kansans are just as certain to retain their grip on the cellar.
Closes Spring Sports
The games with Iowa State will not only bring the baseball season to an end, but they will also mark the conclusion of all the spring sports for the year.
