Both "A" and "B' competition will be held in softball.
Badminton, handball and horseshoes will be conducted on a single elimination basis. The date of the golf tournament will be announced later.
In sports other than softball, a team will be composed of one doubles and two singles players with the match going to the team winning two out of three contests. A minimum of four players is needed for a complete team although more may be entered.
The doubles game must be played first or simultaneously. Doubles members must be declared before each match. Partners of the doubles game in any one match cannot play in either singles game of that match.
The deadline date for all entries is Monday, April 6th. A meeting of all managers will be held Tuesday, April 7, in Robinson gym, room 203 at 4:00 p.m.
Swimming will begin later this month. Preliminaries in all events, except diving, will be held Wednesday, April 22, at 4:15 p.m. The finals and the entire diving event, will be held the next day. Each organized house will be limited to one free-style relay and one medley relay team. There is no limit as to the number of swimmers that may enter each event. However, swimmers are limited to two events.
Mikols, director of the intramural program, has asked swimming managers to organize their teams and start practice sessions immediately.
Swimmers will be required to get a minimum of six hours of water work. A record of the practices of swimmers will be kept in the intramural office. Those failing to get at least the required six hours will not be permitted to compete in the intramural swimming meet.
The pool is available for practice sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. On Saturday, the pool is open from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
The deadline date for all entries is Tuesday, April 21.
Wilt Remains Unsigned
PHILADELPHIA —(UPI)— Eddie Gottlieb, president and owner of the Philadelphia Warriors basketball team insisted today he "hoped and expected" Wilt Chamberlain would play for his club but insisted that the giant court star had not reached any salary agreement with him.
"The answer is no, no and no." Gottlieb said last night when he flew back from Cincinnati to attend a Philadelphia basketball writers dinner where Joe Lapchick of St. John's was honored as the coach of the year.
Gottie drafted Chamberlain at the National Basketball Association meeting in Cincinnati.
"The answer is no, as far as reaching an agreement with Chamberlain is concerned," Gottlieb said.
"The answer is no, as far as that we already have him signed. His contract with the Globetrotter runs until April 15. We wouldn't sign him until after that date."
Gottlieb said that Abe Saperstein, owner of the Trotters, and he were to talk over the Chamberlain matter at Chicago during the past weekend when Gottlieb attended the wedding of Saperstein's daughter.
"We were just too busy to talk about Chamberlain," Gottlieb said. "We never got around to it."
"We hope and we expect to get Chamberlain," Gottie continued.
Each match will consist of the best of seven points, one point going to each of five singles winners and two more going to the winning doubles team.
KU's tennis team and coach Denzell Gibbens begin a 13 match schedule tomorrow with a three-day road trip opening at Wichita. The trip will take the Jayhawkers to Norman and Stillwater for conference matches with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State the following two days.
The trip will feature KU marksmen Lynn Sieverling, Jerry Williams, Pete Block, Dave Coupe, and Salvit Lekagil challenging three of the best net teams in this region. Oklahoma State is defending conference champion and holds a top one-two punch in John Agnos and Ron Anglemeyer. Both are sophomores.
Despite reduced practice sessions due to erratic Kansas weather, the Jayhawkers are out to improve their fifth place conference berth of last year.
DALLAS, Tex. — (UPI) — Wilt Chamberlain said today he would like to barnstorm with the Harlem Globetrotters and play with the National Basketball Association Philadelphia Warriors after his Globetrotters' contract expires April 15.
"We're going into the three toughest matches of the year," observed Gibbens, but then pointed out that the Jayhawkers have 10 remaining matches plus the conference meet.
"Coupe and Williams played some pretty good doubles against Mr. Prosser and Bill Shieldon. Jerry is the type of player that can come out and beat you anytime. At times, he'll come out and beat Lynn."
"I'd like to play with two teams, if it is possible," he said. "But, I doubt if it is because the Trotters make most of their money on the American tour that runs from mid-October to mid-April."
"Lekagul and Block will be facing their first Big Eight competition and it may affect their game, but they'll still be picking up some experience.
Sieverling faces a return match with Jimmy Carter of Wichita in what promises to be an interesting battle.
Sieverling, former Kansas state high school champion and top man on the KU team for the second year, also shares Gibbens' views on the coming matches.
toughest we'll meet all season. It's a hard way to start out!"

Tennis Team Opens Season
"Lynn's the type that will be far behind, but he still hasn't lost," Gibbens said.
"Lynn (Sieverling) started to look good before he went home for vacation, but then he didn't get a chance to play any since the weather turned bad," Gibbens said.
"These three teams are about the
Sieverling has earned the right to play No. 1 singles with Williams, Block, Coupe, and Lekagul following in that order. Sieverling will pair with Block in the top doubles battle, while Coupe and Williams pair off in the final doubles match.
Turning to individuals, Gibbens relayed his praise for his marksm.
