Huskers Here Tomorrow Aggie Thinclads Invade
Knute Kresie To Lead Jay's Baseball Team
By Bob Trump, c'42
The job of pushing the Nebraska Cornhuskers deeper into the Big Six cellar, and at the same time pulling the Kansas Jayhawkers up within striking distance of the first division rests squarely on the shoulders of Kresie.
This was the verdict rendered by Coach Mike Getto this morning as his athletes prepared to swap base hits with the invading Cornhuskers in a two-day series beginning tomorrow.
As usual, tomorrow's game will start at 3 o'clock, but to avoid a conflict with the Kansas-Kansas State track meet on Saturday, the second game of the series will get under way at 2 o'clock.
If Kresie goes the route tomorrow, Getto will be well supplied with pitching material for Saturday's game. He will probably start Henry Horak, southpaw pitcher-outfielder, but may also use John Burge or "Red" Dugan on the mound.
The varsity diamond dried out sufficiently enough for batting practice late yesterday afternoon, but Getto sent his pitchers back to the stadium to work out, as soon as they had taken their turns in the batting cage.
Good Pitchers Ready
Other Big Six Battles
Firing will cover three fronts in the Big Six conference tomorrow and Saturday. In addition to the Kansas-Nebraska battles, Kansas State plays Missouri, and Iowa State engages Oklahoma in weekend series.
Kansas State could vault into first place with a double victory over the present league leading Missouri Tigers, but the chances are against Carl Miles, Paul Christman, and company allowing anything of this sort to happen.
Iowa State takes on Oklahoma, the other co-leader of the conference in two games, which will go a long way toward proving whether the Cyclones' early season showing was merely,a flash in the pan. Since winning two straight from Nebraska, and a single game from Kansas, Iowa State has dropped two decisions to Kansas State.
Laws on Roundtable Program Tonight
The remaining six University Roundtables will be discussions of public relations conducted by members of the classes in public law.
The first in the series to be heard at 10 o'clock tonight over KFKU is "The Power of American Legislatures to Convene Themselves" presented by Ernest Deines, Clarence Robinson, Marion Miller, and Mary McDonald, all second year law students.
Golfers Win; Netmen Lose To Ichabods
Dean Ritchie led the Jayhawk golf team in a 10 1-2 to 7 1-2 win over Washburn College, but the Ichabod netmen kept their unblemished slate clean by outstroking "Dutch" Uhrlaub's men, 5 to 1, in matches played at Topeka yesterday.
Playing in a strong, chilly wind on the Shawnee Country Club course, Ritchie carded a 77 for medalist honors. Runner-up honors went to Bill McElhenny, when he toured the 18-holes in en 82. Wakeland soared to an 85, to turn in his highest score of the season, but he tied his twosome match with Barker 11-2 to 11-2. Bill Gray, playing the number 4 position for Kansas, lost his match to Knight, who was low man for Washburn with a 78.
After losing his first set, 6-3,
Howard Engleman, Jayhawk
number 1 man, won the next
two sets and the match from
John Christner, for Kansas' only
win. Jack Floyd was the only
other singles man able to win a
set from the undefeated Ichabod
netmen.

We've been praying for good weather for a long time, and finally it has graced our campus. Now maybe a few sports events will get under way.
Today our golfers and net men meet Kansas State on our links and courts. The Wildcats will bring strong teams in both golf and tennis.
Yesterday, our linkmen swung over the Shawnee Country Club in Topeka to defeat the Washburn Ichabods, 10½ to 7½, but meanwhile, the K.U. netmen were going down in defeat in the hands of the Washburn tennis team. The Ichabod team has been undefeated this season. Howard Engleman, Kansas number 1 man, beat John Christner, number 1 man from Washburn.
ATTENTION: Baseball fans; toorrow the Jayhawkers play Nebraska here, and again on Saturday afternoon the teams will meet. Kansas has won only one of their four Big Six starts, but to top that off, Nebraska has lost all of its four tilts. So you can count on the leaguertraining team to fight it out for the cellar, here Friday and Saturday afternoons.
Remember Helen O'Connell, (who could forget her) who sang with Jimmy Dorsey at the Junior Prom? Well, it is rumored in the big league circuits that Babe Dahlgren, Yankee first sacker, has his eye on the little Irish singer, and that she will sign

The experience Kansas gained in the N.C.A.A. tournament is being made use of as Jayhawk cagers engage in spring practice. Dr. F. C. Allen is analyzing the various games, showing the reasons for defeat or victory.
Cagers Get Under Way In Spring Practice
Practice will last only three weeks this year—Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week, and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for the next two weeks. Each period is from 3:30 to 5:30. Another change has been made this year, in that they are concentrating on the freshmen. The presence of varsity men is optional, since $\textcircled{8}$ —
Lose Four Men
the freshmen are receiving the most attention.
Four basketeers will be lost to the Kansas squad next year through graduation. Those graduating are this year's co-captains, Dick Harp and Don Ebling. Bruce Voran, and Jack Sands will also be lost. Harp, Ebling, and Voran are helping Dr. Allen as "event" coaches. In "event" coaching, Harp instructs the guards, Ebling the forwards, and Voran the quarterbacks, while Dr. Allen looks over everything in general. Considerable scrimmage is being done for five minute intervals, after which the "event" coaches correct the mistakes made by their respective players. This method of coaching aids not only Dr. Allen, but also gives Harp, Ebling, and Voran experience, because coaching is entirely different from playing.
Kansas-Wildcat Rivalry Again In Track Meet
Work Despite Of Rain
Outstanding freshmen who have showed up well are: Marvin Sollenberger, Norman Sanneman, Don Blair, Vance Hall, John Buescher, Jack Conner, Earl Bozeman, Browder Richmond, Dick Miller, John Hallberg, Kenneth Dunn, Allen Nipper, and Ted Moser. However, spring practice has just begun, and other prospects are likely to have a good showing as practice advances.

Rivalry is just around the corner to the west-90 miles to the west, because Kansas State's track coach, Ward Haylett, is bringing his Wildcats to the Memorial stadium to meet Bill Hargiss' track team, Saturday afternoon.
Under the steady, mouthy cannon-ading of some of the men on the campus that want to see Kansas win, the trackmen are becoming desperate, looking for a team, which they can set their teeth into for a victory. Some of the runners have been told they have seen nothing but the other teams' backs all season, and that slur is still burning wildly in their minds—probably in their spiked slippers too.
According to Mr. Bill Hargiss and combine, the Jayhawkers are going to be more than ready to eat up that 71-2 point margin that State took home with it in its last dual meet here in early March.
Between April showers, workouts have been carried on by the team members, quite faithfully the past two weeks. When the track does not permit use outside, the runners turn toward the runway under the pillars in the stadium. While this
Topeka Table Tennis Team To Play K.U. Here Sunday
The six-team table tennis team from the Topeka Table Tennis Association in Topeka, will invade the KU. Memorial Union building at 3 p.m. Sunday, to play the Jayhawker table tennis team.
Playing for the Jayhawkers against hte visitors from Topeka will be Perry Peterson, Charles Ham, Malcolm Black, and Bill Martin. Because they are undecided as to what two girls will represent Kansas, the following three girls are possible participants Sunday, Shirley Irwin, Norma Tibbets, and Doris Johnson.
indoor playground cannot come up to the first rate requirements of the outside track, it does provide a place to work out when otherwise it would be impossible.
All but three men were in top condition for competition by yesterday afternoon. The three complaints, however, arose from K.U.'s A No. 1 members. Darrell Mathes and J. R. Jones reported stiff muscles as a result of the journey to Drake and the damp weather. Quarter-miler Bill Greene is a little peaked and "under the weather," from a cold, but he is expected to make a short-lived illness of this "de-conditioner." 15 Events Saturday
Saturday's spectators will be provided with a show of 15 events. Fifteen events, yes, but are there Kansas competitors in all of them? No one knows. The weight entries are sure for only one event, the javelin. Perhaps Herb Hartman will prolong him trip home for a week, in order to pick up places in the shot-put and discus. If not, there will be another man or two who can attempt to
