Promising Squad Working Under Henry; Scrimmage Set For Late This Week
BELL-owings by JIM BELL Kansas Sports Editor
One of the backs Gwinn Henry is counting on next year, is John Milton Sullivan. "Sully" will be a student two years of experience and
MILTON SULLIVANT
son in a blocking position most of the time. True, he is a great blocker, but he's perhaps even a greater ball carrier. Remember his great game at Missouri last year? And at Nebraska the year before?
Plenty of comments on the two defeats Cunningham was slapped with Saturday night have rolled off of the linotypes across the nation. We're sure Glenn nails the notion that the nation's press would forget that he was a sick man with a temperature of 101 that night. He doesn't make excuses himself. He proved himself to be a superb sportsman when he ran those races. As Bill Hargiss said, he knew that if he withdrew many, many dollars and cents would not have made the turnstiles at the K. of C meet turn. He went in there and ran even though he was sick.
Another thing to Glenn's credit is that he didn't utter one word of protest when John Borian first beat the gun by a yard and then refused to pull over to the pole when Cunningham wanted to go around on the last two laps. It takes a lot of stamina to start your "kick" then have to drop it when the man in front deliberately pulls over in front of you and refuses to give away. Glenn started his "kick" several times and each time he was forced to drop back when the negro wouldn't let him around. Some call this smart runwine. We have another word for it . . .
Hit and Miss: Kansas State won the Big Six "Rassellin" title at Ames last week-end . . . Joplin defeated St.
Louis University High School in the finals of the Missouri state championship ... Muniak broke Cunningham's flat track record at Baltimore the other week. Missouri; Missouri; boy ran a 4:13 plus mile to break Gilmour's 4:15
DAN
**ROULET**
The team Foy will not go to the Butler retails next week . . . . . . Bill Hargiss is afraid Lyle will re-injure that let . . . . Big Bill predicts that Don Bird will clear 14 feet at the Butter meet and that Ray Harris will run a 4:15 mile before the season is over . . . Dan Rhule, veteran tackles, is going to give opposing linemen plenty of trouble next year . . . .
The annual Kansas basketball extravaganza at Topeka gets under way Wednesday. Horace Mason tells us that if we want to win, to put our money on Winfield. Other favorites are Wyndotte, El Dorado and Hutchinson. The Lawrence Lions will play in the play, but they are not seeded very high. Jim (Topea Capula) Reed is waving his flag for Topeka (which is not unusual). In all events, the tourney will hold its usual interest for University sports fans.
George Golay, a pretty competent commentator on anything pertaining to basketball, tells us that he picks
the Denver Nuggets to win the A. A. U. basketball crown at Denver this week. O. K. "Lax," but we think that Phillips "66" will be plenty tough if they get started right. Remember, Freal Proule, one
of the greatest *FRED PHILLIP*
tournament players in the game's
history will be playing as well as
lads. They will go as well as
did last year, but he always
was best when the chips were down.
If he swings out with the same brand
of basketball that he played at Denver
last year, when he sparked the
Kansas City Heals to the championship, look out!
- Kansas Mentor Has Wealth of Backfield Material, But Is Uncertain as to Quality of His Linemen; Squid Learning Fast as Spring Practice Goes Into Second Week
Spring football practice, progressing rapidly under the watchful guidance of head coach Gwinn Henry, is already bringing to light some new facts and faces that are certain to be of interest in getting a line on what to expect from the Jayhawkers when next fall rolls around.
Henry, ably assisted by Vic Hurt, Harry Lansing, and Mike Getto, is installing his system with surprising rapidity. The first week of drill was taken up mostly with setting up plays.
blocking, passing, and dummy scrimgine. The squad, about seventy men, is showing fine spirit and learning fairly fast according to Henry.
Promising New Frosh
Outstanding yearling linemen include Jay and Bill Kern, rugged Indiana boys; "Jipps" Gierny, 188 pound pivot man; Jim Holloway, giant 225 pound tucked; Hubert Ullrich, hard blocking end; and Bob O'Brien, soft ground. Other freshmen will no doubt come to the fore as practice progresses.
Henry also has made a few changes that should be of definite interest. Mika Shilanick, rugged 2 letter veteran, has been switched from his last year's tackle slot to guard. Hubert Ulrich has been changed from blocking back to end. Wayne Wilie Neumann, as writer, is shifted in addition to his pivot duties and Ralph Schanke has been shifted from tackle to end. Don Jacka, shifted from guard to tackle, completes the list.
Veteran Backs Report
Next year's Jayhawker backfield should bring joy to the hearts of K.
u. supporters. Besides the three out-standing freshmen mentioned, there were Ed' Sugare, Frank Ed' Huckley = Buck' Bukaty, Bill Burnsen, Dick Amerine, Ed Hall, Ralph Mille, Milton Sullil
EO SUAGEEj vant, short blocking junior and Eldreth Cadwalader.
Miller, who has been taking a short rest between spring football and basketball season, is expected to report tomorrow while Amerine is working out in sweat clothes and will see no rough work this spring due to severe back injury suffered in the George Washington game last fall.
The line, with the exception of guard does not measure up to the standard of the backfield. At guard, Quido Massare, Ward Crossell, Sibilnick, and Jack Turner are specially equipped, and especially with prepared fresh aid.
Center should be well fortified with John Naramore, Wilson, Don Pierce, Reiderer, Cliff Peterson and Clerryn.
Chief among the missing are Kenny Caldwell, barrel-like junior skiflicker; "Chuck" Wendstrand, son of David; and Paul White, junior guard.
Truckle, one of last year's sore goals, looks a little brightier this season. With Monte Merkel, Dan Rhuhe, W F Jack and Holloway as the most likely looking candidates. All but Holloway were, varsity, last season.
Scrimmage Possible Wednesday
Monday night's session was taken up by a lenthy dummy scrimmage and Tuesday promises more of the same. Henry indicated that he would put the squaule through pass and punt scrimmage Wednesday and Thursday.
At end there is a dearth of good pass receivers which Gwinn Henry has set about to correct. Most likely looking wigmen are: John Burge, lettered sophomore; Steve Renko, 15 pound letterman; Russ Chitwood, lettered junior, and O'Neil and Ulveh, freshmen.
Tennis varsity meeting. Wednesday night at 8:15. All candidates must be there. The meet. room in 236 Robinson gymnasium.
Glenn Oatman, Coach
★ Candidates Will Be Put Through 36-Hole Test on March 25
Golf Tourney Date is Changed
The date of the University golf tournament has been changed to March 25, it was announced yesterday by Coach Glenn Oatman. The contestants will play a round of 36 holes and the team will probably be chosen from those with the best scores.
Capt. Bob Busler will be leading the team against competitive golfers from other schools. Busler lost only two matches in 13 starts last year. Busler started practicing over two weeks ago and is already touring the Lawrence Country Club course in fine golf style.
Other returning lettermen are Bill Udell, Jack Nessley, and Mort Jones. Udell and Nessley have been praised as yet been out on the links.
Dan Reitch was out last year but did not letter. This year Dan is looking very good for this time of the year, and with such showings, Ritchie seems to be one of the favorites to fill the shoes of Raymond Watson, last year his letterman, who went to Southern California.
The Kirksville College of Osteopathy at Kirksville, Mo., has been added to the golf schedule as previously announced.
Oklahoma City, March 14- The Oklahoma A. & M. Cowboys proved their worth as tough basketball hombres, when they trounced Drake 28 to 15 in the first game of the play-offs for the championship of the fifth district of the N. C. A. A. here last night.
Oklahoma A. & M.
Trounces Drake
As a result of their victory last night, the Stillwater team will tangle with their state cousins, the University Sooners, here tonight for the right to represent this division at the western collegiate court title.
For the second time this year the Cowbies have thrown up a second half defense that refused to allow their opponents any field goals their scored but five points the second and all were from the charity line.
Scheffio, and Johnson led the Cowboys with seven paintings a piece, while high individual honors went to a member of the losers, Tokias Abrenkiel, who marked up four field goals and three free throws.
The women's intramural swimming tournament opens tonight at 7:30 in the pool in Robinson gymnasium.
With the Butler indoor relays coming up on Saturday night, the Kansas track team is putting on all of it's finishing touches in order to give the Indianapolis fans a good meet for their money.
Women's Intramurals
Those teams to swim tonight are the Kappas, Thetas, Chi Omegas, Sigma Kappas, T.M.T.'s, and L.N.D.'s. The second half of the tournament be swim Thursday night at 7:30. There are then Pi Phi, Gamma Phi, Alpha Chi, Alpha Delta Pi, I.W.W., Corbin hall, and Miller hall.
- Hargis Is Uncertain
As To What Men Will
Make Next Week's Trip
to Indianapolis
The Joyhawkers are still not sure who will make the trip but nine men have been entered in the Relays. Coach Hagiss hops now to take two cars so that he can take his fine medley relay team. The team consists of Dale Keenlander, 880-yard run, Chet Cox, 440-yard dash, Ernie Klann, three-quarts mile run, and Ray Harris, mile run.
By Lois Wilson, c'41
In the deck tennis games yesterday the Kappas defeated the Watkins hall team 3 to 0. The Thetus won from the Gamma Phis, 0 to 1.
Cindermen Work In Preparation For Butler Meet
NOTICE
All candidates for Kansas Rea-
ley Queen must have their picture
turned in to the Athletic
office by Saturday, March 18.
As in the past, the Queen will be selected by the members of some visiting track team.
Hargiss is not sure that he will take Don Bird, Big Six pole vault champion, because of a slightly injured knee. Bird injured his knee while jumping; Hargiss does not want to run the chance of reinjuring Bird's knee so that he would be unable to participate in the Texas relays. April 17th was a celebration vaulting dual with "Beetus" Bryan of Texas who defeated Don last year in the Kansas Relays to break the Relay vault record.
Walter Sutton, Manager.
Paul Masoner has been practicing an event now to him, the 60-yard dart. Hargias believes that Masonner might place in the dash because he was not the best ballstar will also run the 60-yard low and 60-yard high hurdles.
Spitsbergen is the most northerly inhabitable land in the world.
Outstanding Favorite Lacking in Cage Tourney
By Clavelle Holden, c'40
The hottest fight in years is expected at the state high school basketball tournament when the 1939 court classic opens tomorrow afternoon in the Topeka high school gymnastics. No one team stands out as a distinct favorite and the tourney should develop into a dog fight.
Many Strong Teams
Winfeld, Wyandotte, and El Dorado have the most supporters as logical candidates to succeed Ward high school, of Kansas City, as state governor. One would be surprised if any one of the 16 entrants emerged victorious.
Winfield pins its hopes for victory on a well rounded team, paced by Gerald Tucker, one of the outstanding high school players of the state. Tucker, whose brother Lloyd has been a sensation at Southwestern college, is 6 feet 3-12 inches, 185 pounds, and only a junior in school. The Wyandotte entry will present the Talented team in the tournament, with six players, 6-footed in senior center, as the spearhead of the attack.
Ark Valley Teams Good
El Dorado, who finished runner-up to Winfield in the Ark Valley, is also well equipped with players over the six foot mark and should have some say about whom the winner will be. Topena high started the season slowly and then finished with a flourish. "Buck" Weaver, the capital city coach, has one of the most enviable records in the state. In 16 years of teaching court tactics at Beloit and Topena he has had only one team that failed to appear in the state tournament.
Southeasten Kansas has two strong teams entered—Pittsburg and Coffeeville. The Pittsburg team won
the SEK crown without a defeat and will be striving for its first state championship. Coffeyville, who finished third in its league, is a potential champion with a quintet that boasts of three men around 6 feet 4 inches.
Rickman Takes Two Second Places in U.S.C. Meet
Dean Rickman, former Witchita East and Kemper athlete, who came very close to coming to K. U. this year, but changed his mind in favor of U. S. C. got a couple of second round games before there the other day. Dean was next best in a 9.8 hundred and the low hurdles.
