Come On, Phog I Quit your mouthing off and play ball. In a recent game one of your boy had a technical foul called on him for doing the same thing. Sure, this is just the opinion of an ama teur, but we know of plenty cf amateurs who wish the beef would stop coming from a school that despises farming: (Wouldn't it be dull to go to a school with no state rival). jutss&m WW mmm ft w If 1 1 m 1 j I pi cfftA Write for chart picturing 13 beautiful styles.

Bobby Ginn, 1Z8 pounds or un tiring muscle, is the one con cerned. Ginn, b e spectacled short and like able, will go to his mark, get set and go when the start er sets him on his way in the Banker's mile at Chicago. Record Times. He has per formances that match the best 0,cm', that any col- Lincoin journn lege runner JS turning out these days in his spe cialty. Last spring he poured it on to break the tape in 4:10.1 giving him an undisputed plarc among the nation's leading milers, Last Saturday hack at the iiul ler Relay's, Ginn- contributed 1 :.r6 6 half to prove that he could turn in record time at half the diHtance. But this Saturday h will be in the front line along with the best in the college industry. Kane Leads. Among his competition will Campbell Kane, Indiana bean j)lt; John Horican, New York ne gro distance man and Walter Mehl of Wisconsin. It should bring out the best in Ginn who has not had any competition thiH indoor wen son in his p t event. He set his own pace all the way this year in Big Six indoor trials and now that he will have pome one to push him, Huskcr track fans can expect things to pop. On Intestinal Fortitude. This trio of stars will push the time to a near record time. Kane was timed at 4:15 in a mile relay race at the Butler get-together and that came after he had turne"d in a l:f5 half. Kane is tall and has the stride advantage over Ginn who runs half on intestinal fortitude and the other half on his own merits as a pacer. Harold Hunt, pole vault ace and Red Littler, sprint rhamp, may attend the meet in Chicago along with Ginn and Coach Kd Weir. Seven members of last fall's University of Texas football squad were maiTid. Priorities DEMAND for an increased amount of rubber due to the war effort has caused considerable speculation in regard to the possible effect on sports... The query concerns the fact that most athletic equipment uses a great amount of rubber. . .Footballs, basketballs, tennis balls, handballs etc., are only a few of the pieces of equipment, needing rubber in its makeup. . .The consensus of opinion is that while there will have to be some conservation in these various sports, there will not have to be wholesale curtailment of the sports. Far-Sighted FOR most universities came the announcement that there will be no rationing in the intramural spring program. . .This is due to the fact that the government, recognizing the mcra!e-bui!ding ability of sports, has demanded a high priority rating for sports materials... Another factor has been the farsightedness of officials in ordering advance supplies of sports materials. .. Many coileQes have supplies of footballs and basehan bats have been stored up in sufficient quan tity to insure the preservation of that sport. Tennis and Golf WHILE there is some speculation as to tennis and golf balls due to the limited life of these objects. . .However, this is unfounded since the government realizes the vaiue of these two sports. ..One of Amer ica's foremost women's tennis stars has been r.amtd director of the women's division of the physical fitness campaign as a further testi monial of the place which tennis holds in buihmig Americans. . .She is Alice Marble. . .There will, of course, be a fewer number of new talls available but at least there will be some on hand. New Type of Basketballs AS another outcome of the rubber shortage, basketballs have been reconditioned. . .The old-type is out for the duration and probably forever. . .The new type ball is built upon the principle of the cord tire and it's appearance has saved basketball. .. It takes as much of precious rubber as the old style needed but the government has experi mented and rounc? t?iat tne new one can pass the priority board since it has four-times greater wearing power... It has several advantages in addition to the wearing quality... It retains its shape for a longer period and seems to have more bounce... By eliminating the hand lacing, it is harder to repair a puncture but it can be done... For that reason it will probably outlast the old type... At least the cage sport has been spared for a while at least. Those Swimming Pools VITAL as a sport is swimming and here comes a problem. . .Since chlorine that is needed to keep the swimming tanks free from germs has been called into action for munitions production, there is the chance that pools will have to be closed until a new purifier can be discovered. . .To date this has become the largest problem with which to cope ... Something will be found more than likely and even this problem will be removed. Queer Shortage BADMINTON birdies give sport officials their biggest problem The rubber tip on the birdie has to be procured in l.ie first place ...In the second place, the feathers that are needed for each birdie come from the best feathers of grease that are found in only central and southern Europe ... Synthetic feathers will have to be manu factured in their stead. A Brightness Lurks NO matter if there is a shortage in these things, there is still a government in power cognizant of the fact that sports are the pri mary essentials for a physical minded nation and they are going to protect what helps to protect them...Everv dark cloud stems to have its silver lining. Bowling Pins Bang as I-M Teams Scrap Ed Dosek's 211 game started the current intramural bowling season off Monday night, with a bang.
