Burge Faces Rockhurst Kansas To Play Hawks Tomorrow Dr. Allen Scores Again With Goal-Hi Invention
By Larry Winn
The K.U. baseball team hit a new low this last weekend when the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who had lost their starting four games in the conference, whipped the Jayhawkers both Friday and Saturday afternoons.
THE BIGGEST STAR on the cinders of Kansas high school tracks this season is Alfred Woods, Coffeyville high school sophomore, who broadjumped 24 feet, 4 inches last Saturday. This mark is most outstanding for any high school jumper, and it lacks only 7 inches of breaking the world record held by Jesse Owens, of 24 feet, 11 inches, set in 1933, for interschastic competition.
Coach Mike Getto's diamond team just doesn't seem to have the old fire or pepper. Fairly good pitching, backed by a weak infield, and a none too strong outfield, is this corner's opinion of the Kansas team. Our hitters just can't seem to pull through in the pinch, nor do they pull through any too often.
The Kansas golf and tennis teams, which split their matches with the Cornhuskers in Lincoln last weekend, will take on the Washburn net and link teams here this afternoon. The K.U. golfers won over the Huskers at Lincoln, while the Jayhawk netmen won only one point against the tennis players from the same school.
I'll put my money on the Ichabod net team against Coach "Dutch" Urhlaub's men this afternoon, but the golf team of Ritchie, Wakeland, Lagree, and McElhenny will probably down the Ichabod linkmen.
POOR OLD YANKS . . . . The world champions just can't seem to get under way, but many fans still give the Yankees the nod in the American league. But so far, the Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Indians, and Detroit Tigers seem to be the teams to beat in that circuit. The Brooklyn Dodgers are still burning up the National league, having lost only one game so far.
MORE HONORS go to Nile Kinnick, Iowa football star, who received unanimous All - American honors, has again been honored, this time by his University, when he was awarded membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Nile seems to be following in the footsteps of Byron "Whizzer" White, of Colorado.
Latest developments along the Olympic lines, tell us that the United States will have try-outs in Los Angeles some time late in July . . . This meet should find the best that the U.S. has to offer, in competition.
IT LOOKS LIKE Ancil Hoffman, manager of Max and Buddy Baer, is bringing Buddy up along the right lines in the fight game. . . . Maybe he has finally realized that Maxie could have been one of the best champions ever, if the playbay had been handled right.

By way of preparation for the coming series with the Oklahoma Sooners, Mike Getto will take his Jayhawk baseball team to Kansas City tomorrow afternoon, where they will play the Rockhurst Hawks in a game which was postponed last Tuesday because of rain.
John Burge will be the starting hurler for Kansas, while "Sugar" Cain is a possible pitching choice for Rockhurst. Huskers Trounce Kansas
Although they dropped both games of last week's series to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and are at present firmly entrenched in last place in the Big Six standings, the Jayhawks showed considerable improvement over their play earlier in the year. Errors, both mental and mechanical, were less numerous, and the infielders and outfielders seemed more sure of themselves.
Coach Getto has seemingly found a combination which works smoothly, and for this reason he is standing pat on his lineup for the Rockhurst game. The infield will consist of Jack Sands at first base, Knute Kresie on second, Ray Nepier at short stop, and Dorus Munsinger at third. In the outfield will be Larry Hensley, Miller Cameron, and Eldreth Cadwalader. Monte Merkel will do the catching.
Stress Defense
During yesterday's practice session, the Kansas coach stressed defensive
work and base running. As usual the batters had an opportunity to sharpen their eyes and engage in hitting practice. Tonight, Getto plans to hold a five or six inning game between the freshmen and the varsity.
Following the Rockhurst encounter tomorrow, the Jayhawks will have only one day in which to prepare for their series with the Oklahoma Sooners on Frisay and Saturday. Oklahoma Good
All the ballyhoo which has been coming out of Norman recently about the Oklahoma nine is interesting, but unnecessary. The Sooner's record speaks for itself. Undefeated in four conference starts and way out in front in the race for the Big Six championship, their most recent achievements include a crushing double victory over the Iowa State Cyclones and a decisive triumph over the Texas Longhorns—one of the greatest intercollegiate baseball teams in the country.
One disadvantage, which was unlooked for and which will work hardship on the team, is the injury of Kenny Hamilton, a fast quarter-miler. Hamilton pulled the muscles in his leg badly during the Wildcat dual in the mile relay, and he will probably not be ready to run at Columbia in the dual meet with Missouri next Saturday. He has difficulty in walking on the leg at all now.
Ray Harris will run in the Saturday meet if he feels he can take the strain, but he will have the competition of Munski, Msisouri's gift to an already fine track team. Hargiss now leaves the choice of the date of running up to Harris. Ray says he will probably be all right in a few days.
"Cold, bad weather has kept the Jayhawkers from coming through this season." Hargiss declares. Injuries are frequently suffered.
Believe It Or Not:
Ken Pulls Leg Muscle
Warm weather aided the limbering of sore muscles obtained in the Kansas State meet Saturday. Nearly all of the distance, relay, and sprint runners were training.
The longest race ever run was from New York to San Francisco in 78 days.

Dr. F. C. Allen scored again with his new game of goal-hi. Goal-hi was conceived and developed by Dr. Allen last summer, as an interesting and healthful exercise game for people of all ages, and as a lead-up game to basketball.
A general, light workout was taken yesterday afternoon by the Kansas trackmen, in the Memorial stadium under the prodding tutelage of Coach Bill Hargiss.
From government figures showing that more than eighty million people are annually paying admissions to see basketball games, it can be seen that basketball is a popular sport. Realizing this, and also that it is confined to a short winter season, Dr. Allen
developed goal-hi, because it can be played the year-round both indoors and outdoors. Play With One Goal
This week the Kansas City Sporting Exposition is putting on a goalhi tournament in Kansas City, under
In goal-hi, a circular court is used with the single goal-hi standard in the center of the court, thus having little or no chance for the ball to go out of bounds. Half-way between the out-of bounds court line and the goal-hi standard, is another circle which serves as the free throw line and divides the court into two scoring zones. Baskets made from the outer zone, count an additional point. A third circle around the Goal-Hi standard is called the restraining circle, which eliminates congestion around the standard as certain rules prevent attempts to score from within the restraining circle. The same goal-hi standard can be used by elementary, junior high schools, or college teams for the standard is adjustable and can be raised or lowered to 8, 9, or 10-foot heights.

the supervision of the police benefit fund. At the completion of the tournament, Saturday or Sunday, Dr. Allen will present a trophy to the winner of the first goal-hi tour- nament.
Letters Pour Into Allen
In the December issue of the Athletic Journal, Dr. Allen wrote an article explaining goal-hi. In response to his article, hundreds of people all over the United States wrote him desiring more information about the game and inquiring where they can obtain equipment.
Women's Intramurals
By CECIL KING
Without playing a game, L.W.W. became the winner in their division of women's intramural baseball, when they won by a third forfeit from T.N.T. last night. Gamma Phi Beta outscored Sigma Kappa 22 to 5 in
