Ex-Gridiron Greats Will Play Spring Game Against Gwinn Henry's Varsity

of open field running whenever the need comes up. Last year Bukaty was hampered by illness in the middle of the season and never fully recovered until after the first Misi- souid. Bukaty is a sophomore, and
has one year of competition under his belt. He played a year for Rockhurst before coming to don moleks for ole K.U.
There's something wrong here. We see by the papers where Kansas State is taking 26 men to the Texas Relays. Yesterday afternoon we talked to Bill Hargiss and he told us he'd be lucky if he could get enough money to take 12. If he does get enough money, he will have to drive all the way in automobiles. Why is it that the Athletic Association at the Aggie school can send 26 men, while we can only let 12 fellows go? It seems to us it's time KU wake up to the fact that track is a major sport. The Kansas track team is good this year—good enough to beat the Aggies in spite of this fact Bill Hargiss, one of the greatest track coaches in the world, has to beg for enough money to take 12 men to a major meet.
At the Practice Fields: Baseball
The inter-agame game was interesting.
... John Burge pitched one innings for one of the teams and his
fire-ball had the boys eating out of his hand . . That lad can really rear back and smoke it in Battling eyes seemed rather rusty . . That's natural for this early in the season . . Les Kappleman looked good at short stop lay and Bill Hall, then in there nice as good as he was team, as a whole, last year . . Food Dick Americine, B Miller Cameron ru
d at short stop . . . Larry Hensley and Bill Hall, two newcomers, are promising . . . Lewis was slingin' them in there nicely . . . Holcom is as good as he was last year . . . The team, as a whole, looks better than last year. **Football:** Henry had Dick Ameriene, Ralph Miller and Miller Cameron running punks back in the face of a whole charging line
JOHN & BURGE
Miller's knee is still a wee bit on the weak side . . . This Cameron boy really has those snake hips . . . Henry has switched Turner to center . . . He looks good there . . . Bumsen's booming kicks were sailing way out there . . . Bukaty and Sauge also looked great with their punting . . . Renku gets down under punts awfully nicely . . . Track Captain Faye was peeved to find the cinders all plowed up on the squadr's first day outside . . . Chet Friedland's disc was taking long rides
. Don Bird spent the afternoon trying to convince Bill Hargiss he was faster than Captain Foy . . . Jack O'Hara, freshman wizard for four years, will be for size. Bill Bevins is still bothered with that leg injury. . . Dale Hekendorn has one of the most perfect strides we have ever seen
. . . Wed rather watch him run than Glenn Cunningham . . . Poetry in motion, this boy.
Oklahoma's loss to Oregon was quite a blow to sports fans in the middle west. They tell us that Oregon beat them at the fast break and controlled the re-bounds with their superior heIGHT. There's not much you can do against a team like that. Except per hAP change your game to set plays. We are prizes over prizes.

Why Cullen Bruce Drake did not do this. His team can play a slow break. They did it in the conference. Tuesday night in San Francisco, every time McNatt and company came scatting down
- Alumni Team, Coached by Dick Sklar, Will Go Into Action Against Varsity April 15; Bausch And Stapleton Will Be Ineligible Because of Professional Competition
By Clavelle Holden, c'40 and Dick Amerine, c'40
Ex-Jayhawk gridiron greats who wore the Crimson and Blue between 1928 and 1938 will test the nettle of Coach Henry's charges when they meet the present football squad in a regular game to be plaved April 15 in the Stadium.
The only limitation on the alumni team is that no member who was at any time under a professional contract will be allowed to play. This will prevent the grads from using two men who are now in Lawrence, and who were exceptional players when they were in school, Jim Bausch and George Stapleton.
Richard "Dick" Sklar is the or
ganizer of the alumni team, and
stated that he has also appointed
himself captain. Which might a
account for the fact that he has listen
himself as a halfback. Sklar, who
played a guard position in '33,' '34,
and '35, was elected the captain of the
all-Big Six football team his senior
year. Sports writers rated Sklar as
one of the best guards ever to play
in this sector.
Hays and Shirk at Ends
"Coach" Sklar, another one of his self-designed titles, plans to use Dave Shirk and Rutherford B Hayes at the wing positions. Hayes, who is a member of the sports staff of the Topeka Journal now, played
three years with Sklar and was also an all-Big six man his senior year. He also held the unusual playing plays from an end position. Shirk finished his college football
last fall although he is still a student in the University.
At thet tackle posts the Alumni plan to start Dean Neasmith and "Long John" Seinkle. Nesmith is the athletic trainer for the University. Seingle has been converted from an end position to handle the post. Real Basketball will be the reserve in case the grads wear out.
Guards Are Tough
The variety might as well be warned now that the guards on the alumni team will be manned by two boys that used to be described as tough, with a capital "T" Tom "Squat" McCall and Zvonimir Kvaternik. With McCall in the lineup the grills will have a map that can match Chester Gibbens at the extra point gathering art. McCall, who kicks from placement and not by the drop method, was rated as "tops" at this around the conference while he was in school.
"Chuck" Warren and "Lobo"
Jenkins,篮帅 snappers of the 1938
Jawhacker grid edition,will supply
the center "fodder,"in case the
varsity think they will tear through
the center of the line.
Ball luggers, or Skar hopes they fill that description, will be Fred "Mouses" Harris, Clarence "Burly" Douglass, Lyman "Deacon" Divens, and Max "Squeak" Replogie. The last three named were members of the team in recent years, while Harris started back in '54 and '55 when he earned his rookie jersey in Jawahraya grid history. "Coach-Captain" Skar will complete the backfield candidates, incidentally we didn't change the rules and the grades will only use four men in the backfield at one time, the other man will be chief water boy and Alumni cheer leader.
the floor with that fast break of
theirs, they lost the ball. The only
time they scored was on long shots.
To our inexperienced mind, it seems
that the team didn't do anything
done better if they had slowed down
and worked the ball in carefully.
Down at Texas last week the intramural champions, Pi Kappa Alpha played the Texas A. & M. basketball champs in an inter-school affair. The game drew a crowd which almost equals the record for varsity games. For several years it has been suggested that Kansas have something like this. The Aggies at Manhattan are not too far away for a game of this sort. We wonder if this can't be looked into.
Intramural notes: Organization swimmers are warming up for the annual intramural splash starting on March 23 . . . The preliminaries will be held on that date while the semifinals and finals will come on March 27 and 28 . . . Softball teams took advantage of the recent Spring weather to limber up . . . We'll be able to tell you in a few days whether there will be an intramural track meet this Spring . . .
Workout Features Punting Drill
★ No Hard Work on Tap;
Squad Prepares for Big
Scrimmage Friday
Pi Phi Swimmers Win Intramural Event Easily
In preparation for Friday night's promised "game condition" scrimmage, Gwinn Henry sent Jayhawker grid hopesful through a light puntworkout and dummy scrimmage last night as spring football practice drew toward the close of its third week.
Henry explained that he would give the squad another rather light drill tonight, but that on Friday he was going to let the boys cut loose and really show what they could do. The bespectacled mentor spent most of the evening in drilling on blocking assignments on punts and quick kicks. Suagee, Vandevere, Bukaty, and Bunsen were doing most of the booting and having better than average success.
Practice ended with about forty minutes of dummy scrimimage with virtually the entire squad seeing service on offense and defense. Ralph Miller, who will probably carry the burden of next year's pass, was "pitching" in great style and already looks to be in good form. McQuinn, Sandy, Steve, Borel were also taking their turns passing and are giving indications that Miller will not be alone next fall in handling the aerial chores.
Miller along with "Darting Dick" Amerine will see no rough work this spring because of injuries suffered last fall. Miller's knee seems to be in pretty fair shape but Henry is taking no chances of further injury, Amerine still complains of his back at times, but it is expected that by next fall the pass catch, ball toall ace will be about as good as ever.

One Arm Hurler Reports To Conger For Baseball
Most one-armed people are content to leave athletics, especially baseball, up to someone more able biped. Nerman Evans, who has but one arm—and a left one at that, however isn't leaving pitching chores up to anyone else as he is one of the seven mound candidates reporting regularly under the direction of Jayhawker coach, Ralph Conger.
By Don Pierce. c'41
Evans, a graduate of Arkansas City Junior college, began playing ball when he was just a kid in the sandballs around Maple City, his home town, and Ark City. After serving with various砂andiot aggregations, Evans joined the Arkansas City American Legion team on which he pitched and also played the outfield. The Legion Bulldogs won a district championship in 1932, Norman's last year.
Played Legion Ball
The small 22-year-old portier graduated from the Legion league in 1933 and served the next two years with Arkansas City Bun John-nee, who takes his turn on the hull with an occasional stretch in the outer garden.
Evans pitches with a straight overhand delivery and has a fine knuckle ball and a good slow curve. He is shy on speed, however, and at times is wild, which is a characteristic of most left-handers.
A Good Hitter
Evans has surprisingly little difficulty in batting, hitting from the right side of the plate and of course using his left hand. This strange batting stance would be crossedhanded for a two armed person. He could have balanced high bats overages and at one time led his team team in batting.

Cooper Cough says that Evans is really showing promise this year and he may see quite a little service. Anderson, who will join the Joplin Miners of the Western Association shortly, says of Evans: "I have been catching Norman since he first started pitching in paralyzed people and I believe he's got it. He likes to pitch, he has a world of stuff, and if he ever gets control he'll make Kansas a heck of a good man."
