Competition High In KU Intramurals
From a rather hit and miss program begun in 1866 when the University was founded, intramural sports have expanded on Mount Oread so that today nearly 2,500 men take part in the different sports.
A sport for every student—a student for every sport. This is the best way to describe the intramural program at Kansas University.
The program, headed by Walter Mikols, assistant professor of physical education, is planned to develop better health for students, more social contacts, sportsmanship, relaxation, and competition.
"This is one of the most competitive intramurals program anywhere," Mikols has said. "The boys in these events really play, no matter what the game is."
Program Begins Soon
Fall intramurals for men will begin Wednesday, Sept. 24, Mikols announced today.
The deadline date for all entries is Monday, Sept. 22. All intramural managers will meet with Mikols at 4 p.m. Sept. 22 in 202 Robinson.
The fall program includes team competition in touch football and singles and doubles competition in badminton, golf, handball, tennis, and horseshoes. "A" and "B" team competition will be held in the fraternity and independent touch football. Each organization is limited to one "A" team and as many "B" teams as it wishes.
Conditioning Important
The importance of proper conditioning by men who expect to enter the program was stressed by Mikols. He said all future entrants should begin getting into top form now.
Freshmen interested in becoming intramural managers may apply by writing a letter stating their qualifications to Mikols, 107 Robinson.
Freshman managers work in the intramural office and help in the organization and administration of the program. Eight freshmen are selected yearly by the intramural board.
Roberts, Ashburn Lead Phils In Bid for Seventh in NL
By United Press International
Robin Roberts and Richie Ashburn, two of the original whiz kids who helped Eddie Sawyer lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a pennant in 1950, are making gallant efforts to prevent a last-place finish for the returned pilot this year.
And, in the process, Roberts could well wind up with a "Comeback of the Year" award and Ashburn with a National League batting title.
The Phillies, who haven't finished in the cellar since 1945, climbed to within two games of the seventh place Chicago Cubs when they beet the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2, last night. The Milwaukee Braves trimmed their magic pennant clinching number to four with an 8-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the only other day or night activity in either league.
Roberts, who seemed over the hill after 19-18 and 10-22 won-lost records the last two years, pitched a seven-hitter to raise his current mark to 16-13. It was his 19th complete game of the season and his five strikeouts raised his total to 123 for 252 innings.
Ashburn, who set a club record by playing in his 1,631 game, raised his league-leading average to 343 when he smashed a triple and a single. Ashburn now holds a five-point lead over St. Louis' Stan Musial, idle again last night, and is eight points ahead of San Francisco's Willie Mays and 10 ahead of Milwaukee's Hank Aaron.
Doubles by Harry Anderson and Jim Hegan plus a sacrifice fly by Ted Kazanski gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the second inning and they added single runs at the expense of Vinegar Bend Mizell in the fifth and sixth. The loss was Mizell's 12th compared to 10 victories.
Roberts was touched for one run in the sixth on a double by Don
Blasingame and a single by Joe Cunningham. Irv Noren hit his third homer of the season in the eighth for the other Cardinal run. The Phillies took the season series from the Redbirds, 12-10.
An eighth-inning error by Don Zimmer paved the way for the Braves to score five runs and beat the Dodgers for the eighth time in 22 games. Zimmer's error followed a single by Casey Wise and the Braves then raked Fred Kipp and Clem Labine for four more singles and a walk. Joe Adcock had two singles and his 19th homer to pace the Braves' 11-hit attack which brought relief pitcher Bob Rush his ninth victory.

Marshall to First String
Air-Conditioned, Phones, TV Free Swimming
Positions were juggled yesterday when the Jayhawker football squad worked out in mud and rain as it prepared for the season opener with the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University.
Coach Jack Mitchell made four promotions to the first team because of performances in last Saturday's scrimmage.
DeWitt Lewis went to No. 1 left end and Sam Simpson was shifted to the right edge of the line. Bill
Bobby Marshall took over as starting quarterback, and Duane Morris, who switched from quarterback to left halfback late last week, was given a first string assignment.
Burnison moved into the top center position.
Mitchell continued to bemoan the general condition of the team's play. The kicking, passing and running departments were still not measuring up to his hopes.
Kansas had the fourth highest rushing total in the nation in 1950 3116 net yards.
Giants Alarmed Over Exhibitions
By United Press International
Al Barry and Joe Skibinski, a pair of veteran guards, were obtained from the Green Bay Packers for future draft choices while half-back Carl Karilivacz was acquired from the Detroit Lions, also for a future draft choice.
The New York Giants, alarmed over the loss of their last four exhibition games, today added three new faces to their lineup for next Sunday's final tuneup game against the Baltimore Colts.
Karilivacz, a native of Glen Cove, N. Y., was an outstanding end at Syracuse before joining the pro ranks, where he was transformed into a defensive halback. He will join the Giants' thin secondary crew, which has carried the burden of blame for the club's poor start this year.
The Packers, in addition to trading Barry and Skibinski to the Giants, released halfbacks Veryl Switzer and Bob Burris and tackle Ed Culppepper on waivers. Jerry Helluin, another tackle, was placed on the injured reserve list.
Switzer, formerly of Kansas State, led the National Football League in punt returns in 1953. He recently rejoined the club after playing two years of service football with the Bolling Air Force Base team.
The Los Angeles Rams chopped five players from their roster—placing quarterback Bobby Cox, ends Gene Mitcham and Jesse Arnell, and defensive back Ed Kelley on the waiver list. Veteran tackle Art Hauser was put on the injured reserve list.
The Washington Redskins asked waivers on quarterback Dan Nolan, defensive halfback Myrel Moore, tackle Darrell Dess, and guards Menil Mavraides and Galen Laack, while veteran linebacker Jack Patera was released by the Colts.
Head coach Jim Lee Howell also is dissatisfied with the Giants' offensive line, and is hopeful that both Barry and Skinskii will help that unit, especially in providing more protection for quarterback Charley Conerly.
The longest field goal in Jayhawk- er history was kicked 55 yards by Bill Weidlein in a 1913 game with Kansas State.
