With the premiere in the air and big ads coming into the Kansan, I can not tell where my column will be next. I guess I should consider myself lucky to even get any space for it.
It looks like the nice weather is going to bring out the rest of the spring sports participants. Coach Wm. H. Shannon, golf mentor, has already posted notice that the opening golf try-outs will be Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. The try-outs will be in the form of a 36-hole qualifying round, which is to be played 18 holes Friday afternoon at 2:30 and another 18-holes at 8 o'clock Saturday morning.
Shows Power
Coach "Dutch" Uhrlaub has already gotten his racket team out on the courts and they have been practicing religiously. Both Howard Engleman and Kermit Franks are back from the tennis team last year. Both are strong players and should be the backbone of Urhlaub's team this season.
The finals of the swimming meet will be run off this afternoon at 4:30 according to E. E. Elbel, intramural director. In the lead so far by their strong representation in the preliminaries, are the Galloping Dominoes with 47 points. Second to the Independents are the Beta's with 35 points, and in third place is Phi Psi with 32 tallies. Only a miracle would stead the intra mural swimming title from the Dominoes.
Coach Bill Hargiss left this morning at 8 o'clock with his track men bound for the annual Texas Relays. The Jayhawker thinclads left in two cars and headed for Norman where they will practice this afternoon. Quarter-miler Bill Greene took the trip despite a slightly pulled leg muscle.
Now that basketball season is over, two members of the N.C.A.A. runners-up, are out for Coach Mike Getto's diamond team. Both Jack Sands and T. P. Hunter are making their bid for the first base position. Sands did some playing on the initial sack last year, along with "Red" Thompson. Getto said there is a possibility that he might use Hunter in the right field place.
On the Diamond: A baseball personality entered the baseball practice yesterday in the form of Steve O'Rourke, head scout for the Detroit Tigers, of the American League. The object of his mission was not divulged but he did stick around and watch the Jayhawker batsmen practice for a while.
I see where they are roping our all-American basketball players into selecting beauty queens to accompany the movie stars today. Engleman and Allen did do a good job of selecting though . . . You can't miss on the group they selected, but maybe Hollywood will want to take the selected girls back home with them.
Team
Veteran Line; Shifty Backs; For Next Fall
If such an early yardstick as spring practice may be trusted Gwinn Henry's University of Kansas Jayhawkers will be a vastly improved eleven when next fall rolls around.
Chief reasons for this are:
1. One of the finest freshman crops in years has so far come over the scholastic hurdle with but minor causualties.
2. More reserve strength than in 1939.
3. Next year will be the second for Henry's intricate system which last year was in a state of installation.
4. A veteran line which will have speed, power, and brawn.
Leading the nine 39 freshmen Robertson, stellar center from Duncan, Okla., and speedy Don Pollom, former all-state halfback from Topeka.
Robertson, a 200-pounder, is a past master at every department of center play while Pollom is a fine punter, good tackler, and classy ball carrier. A 170-pounder, he has already demonstrated his ability to stand the raff of college competition
Hill should be next in line for
Leading the fine '39 freshmen into spring drills are big Tom
Other freshman backs who will bear watching next fall are Irvin "Curly" Hayden, of Atwood, Harlan Altman of Wellington, and Bob Hagen, a Lawrence high product. All have displayed plenty of drive in ball carrying and Hayden and Altman can pass.
Guard will again be the stronghold of a veteran Jayhawker line. Returning for his third year as a regular is staunch Quido Massare, who should be as good as any线man in the conference. His starting mate will be selected from 195-pound Jay Kern, who turned in such a fine performance as a sophomore last year, and 210-pound Herb Hartman, who did almost as well. Neither is far behind Massare in all-around excellence and will prove destructive to any opposing offense. Both will be juniors.
Outstanding among the freshman linemen are Jim Zimmerman, giant tackle from Pittsburg; Ross Relph, tackle from Fredonia; Grant Hunter, end from Jeanette, Pa.; Paul Hardman, Topeka, guard; Don Hill, 190-pound guard from Kansas City and Albert Zernickow, 210-pound Junction City center. All have been getting their share of attention and are showing up well in scrimmage so far.
Gone from last year's team which shared the Big Six cellar with Iowa State and Kansas State, are hard blocking Milton Sullivant and Frank Bukaty; shifty Dick Amerine, and Eldrew Cadwalader. In the line chief losses will be guard Mike Sihlanick, tackle Jack Turner, and end Russell Chitwood. But even with the facts in mind, the future still looks fairly bright.
When one combines these freshmen with a returning crew of 20 lettermen and some 20 more squadmen, it is not hard to envision a formidable football machine for 1940.
service here with squadman Bob Fluker and freshmen Dan Bernstein and Hardman ready to vault ahead if any of the leaders falter.
Center will be strong and well fortified. Besides Robertson, there is 180-pound Don Pierce, returning '39 first stringer; 200-pound Wayne Wilson, who lettered in 1937 with a year of competition left, Zerniekow, and Walt Sheridan, all-Kansas high school pivot in '38.
The only doubt is the reserve end material. Here Henry will have three top notch candidates from
