After liusting this column to guest artists while wc visited
Alaska for a study of Christmas seals, we return to apologize
for the tripe filling this space of late.
A voluptiotis woman in a pork pie hat just dropped in,
shotgun in hand, and asked where P. M. Hayes, Jack Higgins,
Vic Schleich, Kirwin L. Eisenhart, "Eleanor 'n Me" Jacobs and
George Abbott hung- their hats. Directing her to the nearest
beer pub, we continue our column with thanks to those guest
"artists."
"Too much ado about nothing" was the report from Glen
Presnell's office concerning the mass mi&Tation of Husker
coaches to the colors.
"Glon only took a routine navy physical exam," com
mented his secretary. "Only reason the newspapers gave it
such a build-up was because they're short on material, (lieu
won't even know if he's accepted for a month or two.'
Reason Presnell's secretary went to verbal bat for him
was because he was in Kansas City attending the session of Big
Six athletic directors. As Bill Pfeiff, frosh mentor; Adolph
Lewandowski, cage tutor, and Elmer Holm, grid line instructor,
followed Presnell into physical exams, the UN athletic board
sat tight. Only "informal" discussions about possible cba :hing
changes have occupied athletic board time thus far.
Possible use of Uncle Sam's colleges as army 'training
centers might have caused the UN athletic board to withhold
comment. Presnell took his physical in candidacy with the
new naval physical training program dealing with college
reserves.
Presnell's press statement upon return to Omaha for his
physical typifies the frankness which made him so popular
with his griddcrs. "I don't want any of our Cornhusker foot
hall fans to get the impression that J'ni attempting a fadeout
just because we had a bad season last fall.
"I've had my application in with the navy for some time
and because of the recent ruling regarding enlistments it be
came necessary for me to complete my physical and got my
papers forwarded to proper authorities within ten days."
Frosh performers may receive the chance to perform in
Big Six athletic competition before another month that's the
prediction of Husker track tutor, Ed Weir.
"Hig Six athletic directors are in session in Kansas City
now," commented Ed between pipe drafts. "I imagine they'll
pass the rule allowing freshmen to participate. If the rule is
passed, it will be a big help to our track squad."
Lewandowski could readily use Clyde Killers, the 6-5
center gem, to fill absent heighth and rebound requirements.
Chief cinder recruit would be Creighton Hale, the tiny state
champion prep 880 champ.
With the loss of Bobby Ginn causing additional furrows
on the Weir brow, Hale might easily fill the bill. Blond little
Hale's prep timings compare favorably to the clockings checked
in by Bobby Ginn during high school days.
JayhawksFacc
Tough Tilt
LAWRENCE, Dec. 9 Gaining
one of its earliest starts ia its
long; record of intercollegiate
basketball competition, the Uni
versity of Kansas is also taking
on one of its toughest compete
tors when the Jayhawks tangle
with the Olathe Naval Reserve
Air Base Clippers in Municipal
auditorium in Kansas City Satur
day night.
Whereas this will be the first
regularly scheduled game for the
Jayhawks, the Clippers will have
the advantage of already meeting
top-flight competition for they
will have mt Henry Iba and his
defensive-minded Oklahoma Ag
gics at Stillwater.
22-year Average.
Any experience gained by the
Jayhawks in this game, however,
will appear as a drop of water
to the court-wise and basket-conscious
veterans whom Coach Jack
Gardner of the Navy crew will
toss at the collegians.
The starting lineup for the Clip
pers presents a paradox in age as
well as in experience. Starting at
one forward berth will be Don
Lockard, 25-year old native of
Arkansas. From all-state in high
school in 1934 to all-Southwest
Conference in 1937 and 1938.
Lockard moved from the Univer
sity of Arkansas to the Phillips
"66" Oilers where he made Na
tional A. A. U. All-American in
1940. '
A new program of basic studies
in elements of the American cul
tural tradition has been introduced
into the curriculum of Benning
ton college. ' i ; !
