High Stars Watch Kansas In Grid Tilt
By Carlyle Dawes, c'42
The Jayhawk footballers staged a practice game for about 10 high school gridiron men yesterday afternoon on a slick, muddy field, from 3 to nearly 5 o'clock.
Of about 35 invitations sent to high school football players throughout the state, only the 10 arrived. Many of the coaches sent word that they were unable to pare their track-football stars now because of various track meets which were now being held.
Others replied that they would be here for the Kansas Relays and would at this time try to make arrangements with the K.U. coaches to look over the football situation offered.
A continual, fine rain hampered players for all of the four 15-minute quarters, and also gave George Stapleton, Max Replogle, and "Dutch" Urlaub, officials for the game, a good deal of trouble.
Although the rain chilled the K.U. gridsters, nearly all showed up exceptionally well. Vandavere and Weinstram endeavored to toss some passes, but the attempts were incomplete because the receivers were unable to hold on to the slippery ball.
As a result of the two hours of playing, no touchdowns were scored by either team. Chet Gibbons attempted to kick a field goal from the 3-yard line, but the trial went to 0 of the goal posts.
Wilson, Massare, Fry, Hartman,
J. Kearns, Weinstram, and Vanda-
vor all showed up well for the
varsity members. Bob Hagen, a
freshman, played the whole game
and showed considerable talent and
determination throughout the play
period.
Coaches Hurt and Henry allowed all 50 of the men who reported for he chilly practice game to play.
Both lines were strong and the teams showed difficulty in breaking through them. J. Kearns, a player for the Reds, and Herb Hartman, consistently did more than their share in the line.
When the 50 players left the field for the showers they looked as the field they had just left. Shirts, pants, legs, arms and faces were plastered with mud.
From the looks of the game yesterday, the Jayhawkers would consult the weather man and see if they can't arrange most of their games when it is going to rain next fall. Every man out was playing as though his life was at stake, is the 0- 0 score also indicates.

K.U. Relays 'Hot Bed' For Olympic Decathlon
The hot bed of Olympic decathlon champions, the Kansas Relays, will be grooming another pot ntial international winner here April 19 and 20, just in case the Olympics are held this year.
From the Kansas Relays decathlon came the 1932 Olympic champion in the 10-event test, Jim Bausch, and the 1936 winner, Glenn Morris. Both had their first competition in the decathlon at Lawrence.
Playing a dominant role in the decathlon in recent years have been athletes from Colorado. After Glenn Morris came down from Denver in 1936 to win the all-around test and go on to Olympic fame and glory, he was followed as champion here by a University of Colorado star, Dick Kearns.
The slim Kearns, small compared to Bausch and Morris, first captured the decathlon here in 1937 as a junior. The following year he repeated this victory, boosting his point total to 6840.
An unattached entrant from Imperial, Neb., E. Lee Todd, ended the Colorado string of championships last year by winning in a hairline finish. Todd will be back to defend his title this year, but it merely means more glory for Colorado as the former Nebraskan is now in school at Colorado U.
The wiry Todd is a graduate of Hastings, Neb., college, and has been teaching school in Nebraska the past several years. His enrollment at the University of Colorado this year
K.U. Relays Referee-
While taking graduate work at C.U. during the present school year, he has been working out regularly under Coach Frank Potts, the man who developed Todd's predecessor as decathlon champion, Kearns. Todd has a high regard for Potts' ability as a coach.
was a bid for a berth on the Olympic team.
Todd's strongest event usually is the javelin throw, an event in which he can make marks of 180 feet and better. Here last year, however, he was up against an even better man in the javelin, Clarence Odell of Oklahoma A. and M.
After a conclusion of the final event, the closest finish in the history of the Kansas Relays had been recorded. Todd had won by five points, 6557 to 6552.

Elizabeth Kirsch, c'40, is the maid Delia, and the Butler is cast about by Bill McGinnis, c'43. And there you have the cast of "Holiday," a story of how by the third act deouement, Linda Seton got her man. Raises Social Problem
"Holiday" is by no means a story of the conflict on money matter. It has been said of the play that "Barry here presents a really significant social problem with a comedy twist." It has also been said that Barry, author of the now-running "Philadelphia Story," hasn't written another second act since he wrote "Holiday."
Director Rolla Nuckles was handed a good many bouquets of praise at the first performance here, and at Wichita Friday.

"Suiting You--- That's My Business"
By Tom Higgins
After dropping the first game of a volley ball series to the Beta Theta Pi team, the Phi Gam's rallied to win in the last two matches. The victory enables the Phi Gam's to play the Delta Upsilon group. The winner of this match will battle it out with the Sig Alph's for the championship.
The Sig Alph's defeated Delta Upsilon's last Thursday to finish on one end of the winner's bracket. The Alph's need only one more win to cinch the cup, while the opposing team would of necessity, have to win three games in a row, if they were to edge the Sig Alph team out of a championship.
