Past Year Provided Fans Many Thrills
Jauhawkher Athletes Surpised Experts With Showing in Football and First Place in Basketball; Good Frosh Crop Coming up Brightens Outlook for Next Year's Squads
By Milt Meier.
By Milt Meier, Kansan Sports Editor
Another year soon will be a memory for many Jayhawker sports fans, but thrill-filled minutes in the exhibitions of the 1937-38 Crimson and Blue stalwarts will linger in their minds for a long time. For the year just passed, although not a brilliant one, has been pleasant and surprising in most instances, to say the least.
When Head Coach Ad Lindsey called his football warriors to opening fall practice last season, considerable head shaking was
noticed in Big Six and other football circles alike, a and among Jayhawker fans, Too bad for the Kansans, they thought, how could they possibly finish anywhere but in the cellar after such a disastrous season last year? Didn't they have the same material with the exception of several individual stars lost through graduation.
The Jayhawkers went their way and paid no attention to opinions. You all know the story now, of how the Jayhawkers gave indication of their power by scoring three touchdowns in the last half against Washburn after Shirk was clipped by a Washburite. A washburite won, and their own win by winning their first conference game in two years by beating Iowa State 14 to 6. When Kansas beat Oklahoma 6 to 3, the lid was off.
School spirit pervaded Mount Oread until the wee hours of the morning after the victory. The spark had been set off and burst into flame after the 13 to 13 game played with the Huskers at Lincoln. "Fighting Huskers Tie Kansas 13" proclaimed the team. The Huskies Kansas had led Nebraska until the final five minutes of the game.
Upset Football Dope
By this time, the experts weren't feeling quite so sorry for Kansas and the Jayhawkers began going into their games as favorites. One dark spot blemished Kansas' records more than any other and that was the 7 to 0 loss of the Kansas State Wildcats, Missouri, traditional Thanksgiving day rivals, tied Kansas 0 to 0 and the season was over.
Kansas finished third in the Big Six, and with brilliant Frost material coming up to combine with numerous lettermen returning, better things are predicted for the Jayhawkers next year. Needless to mention, they will be scarcse next fall when the call for action comes.
When the Jayhawkers lost their opening Big Six game against the fast breaking Oklahoma "Boat Scans", many thought the Sooners would go on to win the title. But they had figured without thinking too much about the coaching of "Phog," the presence of all-American Pralle, and them marvelous morale of a squad that wouldn't be beaten.
Not to be outdone, Coach Allen's basketball squad astounded everyone by winning the Big Six championship for the thirteenth time after it had been given to the Huskers in pre-season predictions. Hadn't four men graduated from the championship team of the year? That sure is a factor in fa- ture to the veteran Nebraska team. Even with this strike against the Karasa five, experts were dubious in voicing any opinion against them.
Win in Basketball
To the morale of the team Coach Allen attributes the team's success, who reached his peak this season, was no small factor in the pennant chase. The scoring of George Golay at crucial moments in important games was a large factor in the success of the team also; but every man played an important part. After that first Big Six game, the Jayhawkers were unstoppable in their dash to the pennant.
Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska were beaten away from home in games that had the spectators gasping for breath. These victories were the deciding factors in favor of another title for Kansas—the Jay-hawkers had just a little too much fight and co-ordination for their opponents. Again Kansas had won the title after dope had them finishing no higher than second, and third in most cases.
In the meantime, Jayhawkens swimmers were placing fourth in conference competition. Handicapped by the lack of any outstanding material, Kansas from the beginning, was hard to overcome in third or fourth. Ifual meets, the Jayhawkers just about broke even.
Before we realized it, the indoor season was upon us and the Jay-
hawkers journeyed to Columbia for the Big Six meet. The loss of several brilliant performers from last week, Coach Coach H. W. "Bill" Hargill to fill.
Fail in Track Events
As usual, bad weather and lack of proper training facilities hindered the Crismon and Blue in condition-ing and the men went to Missouri hoping for the best. Kansas finished fourth, which was higher than it ever had before. And things began looking a little brighter for the outdoor squad.
Enthusiasm was dampened, however, by an injury that Bird, pole vaulter par-excellence, received in the indoor meet. The injury was a dislocated elbow and Bird never did quite hit him. After several progressed, several other ayahawks received injuries that hurt the team's chances.
These injuries, coupled with unpreventable elements that demoralized the squad as the season progressed, bode no good for the Jayhawkers. After poor performances in major relays, the worst was performed at dail and triangular meets didn't soothe any feelings.
But the Jayhawkers kept trying and gave a favorable account of themselves in the Big Six outdoor meet. Twelve men qualified for the finals, and the Jayhawkers scored $36\frac{1}{2}$ points but finished no higher than fifth in one of the tightest meets in years. Less than 15 points separated the first place Tigers and the fifth place Kansas squad. Any other year those $36\frac{1}{2}$ points would have placed the team in third place, but places aren't determined by what might have been.
Baseball Team in Cellar
Spring football came and went with forty to fifty men reporting for daily practice. A very successful spring practice, capped by a 13 to 7 victory for the varsity over returning alumni, was the outcome.
"Kansas should have a strong team next fall," were the words of spectators attending the daily sessions. Couch Lindsey indicated that he was satisfied when asked concerning his proteges.
Meanwhile the baseball team was working out daily under the supervision and instruction of Coach Ralph Conger. With the loss of serviceman last year's squad facing him, Conger had a tough task before him.
The team started the season by splitting their opening series with the Kansas State Wildcats and a 13-immission, 5 to 4 loss to Rockhurst College. Then the team began a series of one-run losses and sank to the Big Six cellar. Pitching trouble and infield defensive lapses, topped by a penalty that left the Jayhawks out in the cold as far as victories were concerned.
Then came the Missouri series and after a 21 to 1 drubbing, the team back to life. Missouri was defeated 4 to 3 in the second game of the championship one of the schools to have defeated the conference champs.
The Jayhawkers would have had another change at the Tigers' and their championship aspirations except for the torential Missouri 51 inch downpour, which made the Tigers couldn't be played. As the Kansas nine had shown evidences of winning ability against Missouri in the first series, the Tigers considered themselves lucky when they "slid" into the championship with the aid of the cancelled games.
Two bright spots in the minor sports were the performances of the golf and tennis teams and although they didn't finish higher than third in championship matches, their placements not indicative of their real ability.
The tennis team played good tennis in conference dual meets, but was handicapped in the championship tilts by the loss of Kell. As a result, Kansas finished in a tie for fourth place.
The golf team, after making brilliant records in dual competition, tied for third place in the Big Six as it ran into a lapse of ability. In
Baseball Scores-and so on up the scale. Thus, the school with the lowest total has the winning score.

The Big Six final baseball stand ings follow:
strung out considerably behind. Beta was first in baseball, tennis singles, horseshoe singles, handball singles, and six-man touch football and placed second in team handball. The Beta's had a perfectly rounded group and never failed to place a team in any one of the play-offs.
The man who guided the destinies of the Beta crew is Blaine Hibbard. Hibbard won both the fall and win moment, the fall moments and took the fall tennis title.
Phi Delt, under the guidance of Bud Tholen, cinched second place for the second straight year. Its total in points this year was slightly lower than last. The biggest victory came when it won the swimming meet from Westminster and the university of Cambridge; point titles on singles play and were represented in most of the play-off series.
Phi Pi placed high by virtue of consistently good performances. The football team went to the finals and the squads squad reached the semi-finals.
Sig Alph was strong all around. It failed to take a major title but was in all play-offs, and narrowly missed the basketball championship. Most observers picked Sig Alph to take the softball title, but it was put out in the semi-finals by Sig Eo.
The Delt's came up considerable, during the spring camp. They took the horseshoe table, placed high in tennis, third in the swimming meet and were in all play-offs except the football tourney.

Beta's Beat Dominoes, 2-1 Win Intramural Title in Softball From Favored Independents
Beta Theta Pi's softball team
Beta Theta Pi's softball team became the intramural softball champion Wednesday afternoon when it beat the Gulping Domains, 2-1. The Beta's came from behind during the final tournament as a dark horse, to win by displaying superlative baseball. Sigma Alpha Epiphon, last year's champion, was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
The Beta's struck early and held their lead throughout the game. With two men out in the half of the battle, they ran to go back and set up a two-run lead.
ПХ XV II ГVШИ
Beta settled down to defensive baseball and set the Dominoes down one-two-three in the second, but in the third the Dominoes, who previous to this game were undefended, were able to push one more across.
Bill Gleicher, Beta pitching ace, was in trouble only once and he worked his way out without much difficulty. He limited the heavy-hitting Dominoes to two safeties and had strikeouts in the bag when he needed them. The greatest part of the credit for Beta's title this year goes to him. Wiegel of the Dominoes pitched good ball all afternoon, but his team did not back him up as well as it has during the season. He gave up three hits, but they were all in pinches. A great contribution factor in Dominoes was the finger Beta infield. Scotland was the spark of this group. The rest of the infield was nearly perfect in its fielding play. Jack Nessley and "Mad Dog" Lewis are two of the best infenders in the league.
The Domino infeld was not itself during the final game. Dale Alquist was the only man up to par.
