Batsmen Open Season With Short Game
by Bob Trump, c'42
Weather permitting, members of the Kansas baseball team who have been yearning for competition will get it tomorrow when Coach Mike Getto divides the squad into two groups for the first practice game of the year.
The battle, which will begin at 3:30 and will last for five or six innings, will give the Jayhawk coach an opportunity to become more familiar with the abilities of his men whose practice sessions have been hampered during the past three weeks by inclement weather.
All three of the outstanding pitching candidates, John Burge, Arnie Kresie, and "Red" Dugan, will take turns on the mound. From this trio, Coach Getto expects to select the starting hurler for the opening game of the season with Rockhurst here on April 10.
Eldreth Cadwalader and Monte Merkel, who have been doing most of the catching, so far this season, will be behind the bat for the opposing teams.
Coach Getto announced this morning that a home and home series has been arranged with Rockhurst college of Kansas City, making 18 games for the Jayhawks this spring. No more games will be scheduled because a Big Six conference ruling restricts teams to 18 games a season.
The two day series, originally scheduled with the Missouri Tigers Columbia on Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20, conflicts with the Kansas Relays which will be held in Lawrence at the same time, and negotiations are being made with Bengal officials to change the date of the games.
The complete schedule follows:

Last year teams came to the Rellays from such widely separated points as California, Alabama, Mich-
igon and Texas. The meet is one of the three biggest Relays carnivals of the year.
The 1539 running of the meet was one of the most successful in history and a Relays of the same caliber is expected this year. Highlight of the meet last year was the sensational pole vaulting of Beefus Bryan of Texas.
Bryan set a new record of 13 feet $11 \frac{3}{4}$ inches as a sophomore and last year he went on to vault 14 feet 2 inches. The lanky Texan will endeavor to set a new record for the third straight year, April 20.

To Build----
(Continued from page one) at the time of the death of their son, who was killed in an automobile accident last December near Lawrence, in preference to having the contributions spent on flowers for the services. Battenfeld was a junior in the College. Except for some furnishings to be provided by specific gifts from friends and relatives, which were made to the Flower Fund of the Endowment association at the time of the boy's death, the Battenfelds will furnish the hall completely.
The building was planned and designed by Morton Payne and Russel Field, architects & builders, In., of Kansas City. The general construction contract has been awarded to J. T. Constant of Lawrence.
Malott Pleased
In commenting upon the new hall, Chancellor Malott expressed the gratitude of the University and of the people of Kansas for this new addition to the University's facilities.
"This new home for self-supporting men," said Mr. Malott, "will serve countless generations of ambitious boys, many of whom might not otherwise receive a college education. It is a memorial of lasting and immeasurable value for the future."
