Pralle
To Manage
Local Team
Jayhawk Star Name
To Lead Lawrence Ban
Johnson Baseball Team
as Coach
By Milton Meier, c'39
Fred Pralle, late Jayhawk star and baseball star and hero of the recent National A.A.U. basketball tournament, will manage the Green Brothers Lawrence entry in the Kansas Ban Johnson basketball league game. Gilbert Frunts, well known total pitcher, will be Pralea assistant.
The two men were named at a meeting of the sponsors of the team
held Monday night, and practice sessions under the new managers are scheduled for Wednesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons of this week
Lester Kappelman, shortstop for the Kansas nine, is a member of the Green Brothers team but will not be able to compete with it until after the season. The teammate is completed. Kappelman was one of the team's stars last year.
The Green Brothers will open the season April 17 at Leavenworth, in a schedule that calls for 12 home games and as many away. The first home game will be with Topeka April 24. Lawrence will play double-headers Enopola and Topeka and double-headers with the same teams away.
Sponsors of the club and Praille are anxious that all boys who are less than 21 years of age or whose twenty-first birthday has been since Jan. 1 this year report for the practice sessions.
There is a possibility that a "B" team will be sponsored to take care of those who cannot make the grade with the regular team.
What's Doing in Sports

Season tickets are on sale now.
The University of Texas tracksters took a relay preview as they piled up 75 points against San-Marcus, Howard Payne, Texas A. and M and Minnesota on the Longhorn stadium track.
Many events were fast for this stage of the season, while some were unusually slow. Howard, of Howard Payne, captured first in the 440 in 49.6 and Graves won the 100 in 52.2. They both opened the event. The Howard Payne mile relay foursome covered the mile in 3:22.1.
Some of the slower times were in the 800 which was taken in 2.08, the two-mile which went in 10.48, and the mile in 4.306.
In the field events the marks were only fair. The pole vault was won at 13 feet, 1 inch. The winning throw in the shot put was 45 feet 11 inches
The first major outdoor track carnival of the season will be staged April 2 at Austin. Several Big Six teams are planning to enter. Nebraska will many conference champs, Kansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma have already signified their intentions to compete. This will force teams to compete, which will forecast to a certain extent the teams that will figure high in the outcome of the Drake and Kansas Relays.
The Oklahoma Aggies make their dual debut against the powerful North Texas State Teachers College at Denton, Texas. The Teachers are expected to have plenty in store for the Cowboys as they boost such glittering performers as the Brown twins and the Rideout twins. The latter are tops in distances. Many first rate runners can testify to their ability. Don Lash glimpSED the heels of the Rideouts at New Orleans at the finish of a feature mile run a year ago.
Couch Lindsey, with an eye cast toward the deadline for spring practice less than two weeks away, put the Jayhawkers through a long mock scrimage session yesterday afternoon.
Jayhawkers In Long Dummy Scrimmage
The purpose of the practice was to work on the timing of several new plays, and to smooth the rough spots evident in the old ones. The scrimmage sessions up to date have shown a need for better co-ordination from the squad members as a group, although several men have stood out and natural ability is evident throughout the squad.
Three offensive backfield combinations were used in yesterday's workout, while line coach Getto alternated and substituted the linemen with abandon. In one backfield group were: Caldwell, Miller, Bunsen and Amerine; another group consisted of Bleshe, Travis, Suigne and Stulling; Media Hooper, Bakaty and Wilson made up the other upper
Linenemen who saw much service during the afternoon were lettermen Shirk, Shilhanck, Boulevard and Chit-el Thompson, K. J. k e l O. Thompson, John and Jacka.
The early part of the practice was spent in running plays with the backs under the supervision of the coach, Steve and the linemen under Getto.
Regular serriimages under game conditions will hold the spot light for the rest of the week.
Jayhawk Nine Gets in Shape
Conger Expects Strong Squad if Pitchers Hold Down Jobs
Members of the baseball squad are now beginning to round into shape for the opening of the collegiate competition which will begin for the Jayhawks, April 12, at Kansas State College. Although the local team is not expected to lead the conference this year, Coach Ralph Conger believes the men will show a great deal of fight and give the other members of the league strong competition.
They are working out every afternoon on the football practice field which has been developed into a good baseball diamond. Batting practice is being held in front of a large wire cage which has been temporarily constructed at the north west corner of the field.
The problem still facing Conger is the search for capable pitchers to fill the vacancies of the staff left by members who graduated last year. Bucuresti, Dugan, Cila1, who pitched with the Kansas city LATinemas in 1933. He should prove to be an outstanding deliverer if his arm responds to the steady practice. George Klppenberg and James Bass are also reporting daily and are expected to be in the mound for the Kansas group.
The team as a whole seems rather small, varying from the midget second baseman, Keith Swinebart, to Ferrell Anderson, who will probably hold down the position behind the batter.
Although there have been no definite positions assigned as yet, it is a fact that the majority of the outfield positions will be determined through batting power. It is reported that the University of Oklahoma has one of the outstanding college teams of the country, and should be one of the strongest first-place threats to the Big Six baseball competition.
New York, March 29.—(UP)—A 37-year-old battle which grim men in white have fought against one of mankind's most dreaded malady's—jungle yellow fever—is close to a victorious end.
Jungle Fever Almost Subdued
The Rockefeller Foundation announced that after six years of tests with vaccination, in which more than 40,000 persons were treated in the year alone, immunizations had been produced ranging up to 99 per cent.
The foundation's announcement said that the series of tests gives "every indication that efficient protease is exposed to yellow fever in isis."
The development of the vaccine is regarded as the most important single step in the battle to control yellow fever since Dr. Kricev Noguchi isolated the yellow fever parasite, which he provided 30 years earlier. If further development of the technique of vaccination is successful, medical science will have accomplished one of its great victories of the century.
Numerous Relay Entries Mailed
Decathlon To Be Feature Again This Year; Elbel Is Cletk of the Course, Griffith Referee
With the sixteenth annual Kansas Relays only four weeks in the future, preparations are ahead rapidly for the big meet. The fast Kansas track is being worked over daily, and administration work in connection with the Relays is going on at full tilt.
Entry blanks have been sent out to a large number of universities and colleges and to 600 high schools, the latter being invited to take part in the thirty-fourth annual University of Kanass interscolial track and field meet the day before the Relays.
Gov. Walter A. Huxman has accepted an invitation to serve as honorary referee of the Relays and the Swiss national hockey has largely been completed.
Huxman Honorary Referee
Northwestern and Iowa of the Big Ten have recently expressed their intention of sending teams to the Relays again this year, which should help make a classy field. Iowa won a sprint medley relay and Boston won a men's championships, Billig, Billing, and the Teufel twins, are all back in action again.
Gwinn Henry, director of athletics at the University and director of the Relays, announced today that Ed Elbel, assistant professor of physical education, would again serve as clerk of the course. "People do not realize the work Ed has done, but the Relays could not be run off without him," said Mr. Henry. Decathlon To Be Featured
Major John L. Griffith, commissioner of athletics of the Big Ten will serve as referee of the Relays but a starter for the meet has not been decided on as yet. Last year Mr. Henry served in that capacity.
The Missouri Valley A.A.U. decathlon will be a feature of the Relays, as usual. Virtually all of the men who competed in the ten-event test last year will be entered again along with new competitors. William Lewis, negro high school boy from Tipton, Mo., who was first in four of the ten events in 1937, has written for an entry blank. Dick Kearns of Colorado will defend his championship in the decathlon.
Ed Elbier, director of intramurals, reported yesterday that there is an unusual amount of interest in baseball this year. Entry blanks are beginning to pour in, and it appears the ball will be greater than ever before.
Men's Intramurals By Jim Bell, c'40
Mr. Elbibel believes that the introduction of the smaller ball and the use of the regulation diamond and rules are responsible for the increased enthusiasm. The game to be played this spring will be more like that played all over the United States in softball leagues. Last summer softball took the nation by storm. Many new players began to take up the sport. From all indi-
Play will probably be much more closely contested than it was last year. Many still struggle and several of the name "greats" have improved. Sig Alph, yeah, yeah, winners, show power this time, power this time, same heavy-hitting bunch that played with opposing pitcher in be in there trying hard to repeat.
Little can be learned about the runners-up of last year, the Hexas. They put out a team which will be hard to beat. The Beta's and Sigma Chi's have practically the same teams from the league, heart-breaking play-off game last season. They are going to be tough for the league. Delta Tau Delta, under "Bill Terry" Winslow, looks like a lot of the ones the winners will have to bate. Phi Gam is always a strong pitching suit, is danger-
All in all, the season looks as if Teams will be interested. Teams wishing to enter empty blanks back as soon as possible. None will be accepted after April 2
Beat Pleges, 2-19
In their annual Pledge-Active skirmish last night, the Delta Chi activates sneaked out on the pledges, and in the last minute of play Hoverstock was high point man for the activities with four field goals and two free toses for 10 points, while C. Wenstrand led the pledges with three field goals and three free throws.
Delta Chi Actives Beat Pledges. 21-19
At half-time, the activities led at 11 to 3, but the pledges opened the second half with a barrage of baskets and took the lead finally at 16 to 15. However, the activities tightened to 16 to 19, got a single basket and then stalled the remaining 15 seconds of the game to win.

Washburn college tennis team at Topeka is preparing big medicine this year for a fine season. They have three veteran lettermen returning in the persons of Carl Nordman and Ben Haller and Willem Freiburghouse, Don Green, promising sophomore, is binding strongly for the No. 1 position over Nordstrom. John Maddaus, of the state high championship doubles team from Hutchinson, is also expected to show up well, Opening their first match with the Kansas netsters, the Washburn Blumenwill have a win against the defeated battles of past years. The Jay Hawk team, with only two returning lettermen in Jim Kell and Ne wt Hoverstock, has yet to choose the other two members of the team.
Not satisfied with inactivity during the lull between basketball season and graduation, Fred Praille has decided to coach the Lawrence Ban Johnson baseball team this year. Praille is ineligible for University baseball in the Big Six as a result of having played semi-spell basketball with the Kansas City Healeys, and will therefore spend his time with this new sport amusement. Praille was one of the main cogs in the championship Green Bros. Lawrence team last year and may be able to aid them this year in a coaching position.
With the intramural track meet as the next outdoor competition in sight, the fraternities and other organized houses are sending their men out to get in shape for the event. The team produces a high type of spirit, and nearly all organized house enters as many events as possible. The Sig Eps, winners of the last intramural track meet, will have a difficult time repeating the team's previous fraternity matches will be gunning for the trophy.
Down at Liberty Memorial High School, Coach Ed Wood has 40 boys reporting for track, and Richard Shipley is trying to pick a tennis
team from 20 candidates. On the tennis hunt, Joe Dill, son of Prof. W. A. Dill of the University department of journalism, and Jack Corlis, younger brother of Lyman Corlis, basketball letterman here on the Hill, are placing their bids for positions on the regular team.
The Cambridge rugby team from England opened their invasion of America by soundly beating the Yale team 40 to 0. The Britshrifts thrilled the crowd by the deftness with which they handled the ball and the clever passing that completely bewildered the Eli. Yale may rank high in good old American football, but they don't rate when it comes to playing the English version.
