Kansans Chased Indoors By New Foe; Weather Man
By Bob Trump, c'42
As if fighting five other ball clubs for the championship of the Big Six wasn't enough, Mike Getto and his Jayhawks today faced still another rival in the form of the weather man.
Mud an inch deep on the varsity diamond confronted the Kansas players who reported for practice last night, and so they beat a hasty retreat to the stadium, where the batterymen completed with track teams from Texas and Kansas Universities for space in which to loosen up their muscles.
The Jayhawks aren't the only Big Six team which has been
This afternoon, Coach Getto has ordered another workout under the stadium for his pitchers and catchers, and tomorrow he hopes to hold a practice game between his varsity and "Buck" Bukaty's freshman team.
harrassed by inclement weather this spring. Iowa State, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas State—in fact every club except Oklahoma has had more than its share of rainy days. Only the Sooners have been able to hold practice sessions out-of-doors, with any degree of regularity. This state of affairs led one of the Kansas players to observe last night that if the conference officials wanted the schedule to be completed this year, they may have to move all the games down to Norman.
Work Out Under Stadium
The Kansans can't get too much competition before Friday because in the two-day series with Iowa State which confronts them this weekend, they will be meeting a team which last week defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers, two days in succession. Excellent pitching, fine defensive play, and a satisfactory offense have characterized the play of Coach "Cap" Timm's club this year against Big Six teams and outsiders alike.
Iowa State Pitching Ace
Ace of the Iowa State pitching staff is Leon Wilson, who before Friday's game with Nebraska, had pitched 19 innings, striking out 19 men, giving up 11 hits and only two runs. Wilson may oppose Knute Kresie, Kansas sharp shooter, in Friday's game, and if he does, hits are liable to few and far between. Other members of the Cyclone hurling corps are two sophomores, Willard Mylenbusch and Dave Erickson.
Senior Application Blanks Available for Job-Hunters
personal application sheets for seniors of the University seeking employment may be printed at $3 for 100 sheets, including picture, according to Marvin Goebel, secretary of the men's student employment bureau.
The applications will be printed from minеgcographed blanks supplied by the Alumni association and filled out by the students desiring the printed sheets. They will include all significant data usually appearing on application blanks.
In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love—But there's many a Romeo whose Rolling Park Bench has ended up in a ditch because he tried to make love at 40 miles an hour.
SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
Well, this has certainly been a big weekend, with the Relays, and golf and tennis matches with Nebraska. K.U. made a fairly good showing in the Relays Saturday, but our tennis took a dive in front of a powerful Nebraska net squad.
It looks like Kansas, the defending Big Six golf champion, is going to be making a strong bid for championship honors again this year. The Jayhawker linkmen have won all of their matches by lopsided scores. Playing superb golf is Dean Ritchie, who is shooting consistently around par 72. Rod Wakeland has also been hitting the small pellet for good scores. Bill McElhenny and Bill Gray are fighting it out for third place honors. Both shoot around 83.
RELAYS HANGOVERS . . Dick Higgins of Missouri, pulled the surprise of the day, Saturday, when he stuck with defending champion Beefus Bryan in the pole vault, to tie for first place at 13 feet, 3 inches . . . WHAT TO THINK? . . As far as beautiful runners are concerned Glenn Cunningham can still compare with any and all, but old Glenn does not have the old "kick" left in his flame-scarred legs. The old "kick" that brought him fame, world records, and berths on the United States Olympic teams is gone forever. When Glenn does decide to hang up his famous spikes (he should do it soon) he will long be remembered by those followers of sports, as the man "who made the United States mile conscious" . . . Thanks to Blaine Rideout for wearing a white shirt, so that we could tell which of the twins is which . . . John Munski did not get a chance to steal the show, he has a couple of years because a teammate, Marshall Reeves, gave him such a lead in the university distance medley relay, that "Lonesome John" had no competition whatsoever . . . Peculiarity of the day was Don Boydston, Oklahoma A. and M. high jumper, who would walk up to the crossbar, look at it, take a short hippity-hop, let his arms fall full length at his sides, skip a step, then take his final five steps to finish his jump. Don is sports editor of the Oklahoma A. and M. Daily O'Collegiate . . . Carty Dawes, Kansas javelin thrower,
NATIONAL VS. AMERICAN
Baseball fans will have an opportunity to see many of the stars of the major leagues in action at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon when films produced both, the National and American Leagues, are shown in the football dressing room under the west wing of Memorial Stadium.
Although the pictures are being displayed especially for the Kansas baseball team, Coach Mike Getto said this morning that anyone interested in baseball was welcome to attend the showing.
was just about the second javelin victim of the two-day session, when a Texas entrant tossed the pointed pole, clearing the scalp of Dawes about four inches. On Friday, during the high school meet, Ed Haley, Topeka javelin thrower and miler, caught a javelin in the calf of the leg. He was released after a few hours rest in the University hospital, authorities saying that his condition granted the release.
AROUND THE BIG LEAGUES . . Baseball has taken the spot light now, with pitchers either making or losing fame right and left . . . The heavy-hitting Detroit Tigers showed famous 21-year-old Bob Feller, of the Cleveland Indians, the way to the showers after he had pitched only three innings Sunday . . . The St. Louis Cardinals showed "blow-off" Dizzy Dean that Wrigley had made a mistake, when he made the long trip into the showers after four innings . . .
This boy Charley Wensloff, of the Kanass City Blues looks pretty slick to this corner . . . Wensloff is the boy wonder who pitched for Joplin last year and won 26 games and dropped only four . . . His right arm is much bigger than his left, and he puts little body action into his pitches . . . He throws mainly with his arm.
Topeka Defeats K.U. in Table Tennis Matches
The University of Kansas table tennis team went down in defeat at the teams of the Topeka Table Tennis Association, 7 to 0, last Saturday. The K.U. team is sponsored by the Student Union Activities committee.

Woodworth, Topeka city champion, and number two man in the state, triumphed over Ham, K.U. Shupe and Black, number one and number two men on the K.U. team, were absent when the Kansas delegation made the Topeka trip.
The summaries:

Kansas City Alumni Discuss New K-State Field House
Kansas City, Mo., April 23—(UP)
Plans for a new field house at Kansas State College were discussed last night at a meeting of the Greater Kansas City Alumni association.
Jack Gardner, basketball coach at the college, pointed out that the present field house seats only 2,800 "including seats on the rafters," and is inadequate to accommodate crowds which attend basketball games.
Gardner said the plans for a new field house call for a seating capacity of 9,000; an indoor track; and an indoor swimming pool.
Arbuckle Heads Men's Pep Club
Members of Ku Ku, men's student pep organization, refrained from their "cheering" activities long enough last night to elect Tom Arbuckle, e'41, president, succeeding Bob Galloway, b'40. Other officers for next year are: Dick Oliver, c'42, vice president; Harold Haney, b'41, secretary; and Danny Lewis, ph'41, treasurer.
In addition to the election of officers Jack Severin, b'41, was selected to head a committee in charge of plans for a spring party.
