Intramurals Ready to Start
Women's intramural basketball, tennis, badminton and golf tournament playoffs will begin next week.
Tournament schedules will be posted Friday on the bulletin board on the women's side of Robinson Gymnasium.
Basketball teams will begin playoffs next Wednesday and the following day. After next week, women will play basketball on Tuesday. Wednesdays or Thursdays.
Each team must hold at least one practice in the gym before playing in the tournament. House team managers may sign up for their team's practice according to times posted on the bulletin board in the gym.
Each basketball team will play one game a week until it is eliminated in the round robin tournament. About 20 teams are expected to participate, with the tournament lasting about eight weeks.
Those women in golf, tennis and badminton tournaments will play their first round sometime during the coming week.
On this year's outline schedule of tournaments, one of the women in each scheduled match will have a star by her name. That woman will be responsible for arranging a match playoff time when she and her opponent can get together.
If no score for the match is turned in at the intramural office by the end of that week, the woman with the star by her name will be eliminated.

Ted Williams May Be Through
BOSTON — (UPI)—The stormy career of slugging star Ted Williams appeared at an end today. His retirement is signaled by the firing of a lowly clubhouse attendant.
Although Williams, "unavailable" on a hunting trip in the wilds of New Brunswick, had not formally announced his own retirement from baseball, his Boston Red Sox employers for the past 20 seasons summarily fired the man who has been virtually Ted's personal valet during his often-explosive career.
Easton Issues Call For Team Trainers
Kansas Track mentor Bill Easton issued a call today for experienced students with track manager or training room experience.
"I have to be either on the field with my boys or with them in the training room," Coach Easton said. "Unfortunately I can't be at both places at the same time."
Kansas, the defending NCAA outdoor track and field champion, is preparing to start its thirteenth consecutive year of domination in the Big Eight conference sweeping cross-country, indoor and outdoor championships.
Without able assistants, Coach Easton is having a rugged time whipping his cross-country team into shape before it encounters Missouri Oct. 10.
Coach Easton said that anyone interested should contact him in Memorial Stadium after 3 o'clock any weekday.

Chisox Rehire Lopez for 1960
CHICAGO — (UFI) — Al Lopez will be back next season to manage the pennant-winning Chicago White Sox at the largest salary ever paid by the club to player or manager, an estimated $60,000.
Lopez signed the agreement yesterday at a ceremonial press conference arranged by club owner Bill Veeck, and once he had signed the contract without looking at it, he stuffed his copy into his pocket.
"I'll find out the amount later," he said. "I know it's satisfactory."
