Faci Ht 4k m m or intramurais to Editor's Note This is the last in a five-part series on the University's intramural department. by Mark Gordon - Sports Editor Unless the University of ficials realize the desperate situation of the intramural department, the program may face extermination, ac cording to Joel Meier, direc tor.:,. Additional facilities, both on the indoor and outdoor level must be obtained within the near future or intramurais will be faced with an overflow of interest and a minimum of space, Meier said. "Sometime soon the people running the University are going to have to make a decision," he said. "Do we want : to bring a straggling program : up to the point where it should be or do we League by George Kaufman Sports Columnist I hope now the myth will finally end. But I suppose it won't; it will probably be perpetuated by un giving sports editors all over the country, despite the facts.'n I'm talking about the myth that the National League is superior, by some sort of mystical powers somewhere in the dark past, to the American League. Those who still hold this view are ignor ing some cold, hard facts. THE MYTH has recently been epitomized in the form of the St. Louis Cardinals. For reasons unknown to the outside world, they have gone into the past two World Series heavily favored, evidently Just because they were the representatives of the Na tional League. Even otherwise intelligent men such as Wally Provost, urbane ports editor of the Omaha World-Herald, still seem to cling to this belief. Before the 1967 World Series, Provost told me that whichever team winning the American League " pennant would be roughly about fourth or fifth place in the National League, where the Birds were running away with it.

University officials must realize both the need and desire of a large segment of the University students to improve the current intramural situation, he add ed. Meier said he has tried for four years to convey these thoughts to- the administra tion, but he has met with only limited success. "The temporary space that has been found for the pro gram during this interim period will curtail the ac tivities," he said.

However, the chances were, that, had there been an eighth game, the Sox would have evened it up again. And who knows how long the series would have gone to establish any sort of real difference between the two clubs? Perhaps forever. And, surprisingly, there were those who still said, after last year's series, that the National League was superior to the Junior Circuit. This despite (1) The Bosox were without the services of their star Tony Conigliaro, (2; The Sox had won the pennant on the last day of the American League season using their star hurler Jim Lonborg, (3) that the Cardinals had run away with ,ii...uiiiui' 'mmmMtmmmmmmm r nmmH I I I"'. .

The program also needs additional staff members since the number of teams and participants has com pletely overburdened the present three man staff. For 15 years, E. C Higgin- botham, assistant professor of men's physical education, handled the entire program alone in addition to teaching duties, Meier said. Today, with a skyrocketing participation level and a diversified program of 26 ac tivities, the staff has increas ed by just one. Meier is assisted by Ray Chatfield, a graduate student last year who is now the pro gram's assistant director. He added that the department is seeking a graduate student to assist next semester. the NL flag without the services of super-star Bob Gibson part of the war, and (4) that, due to all of these, all four of the AL clubs which fought to the wire should have been able to play evenly against the Cards just as the Bosox did. BUT THIS pedned again. year it hap- The Tigers had a little bet ter time of it this year, and so did the Cards, but right away the Cardinals were favored. Bob Gibson won the first game as expected. Mickey Lolich then hit the Cards, 8-1. The Cards went ahead on Saturday's 7-3 win, and Gibson put them in the driver's seat Sunday, 10-1 in what appeared to be a runaway. All this with .1 IB continue I AS INTRAMURAL director ! Meier said he coordinates and I administers the program, but a full-time supervisor to both oversee the program and j assist the director should be hired. He estimated that about 50 i per cent of his work involves bookwork, keeping records and determining schedules for all the sports. We could do more con structive things with our time," he said, "if we had one or two graduate assistants supervising various aspects of the program." He added that part-time secretarial help would eliminate much of the time consuming work of the in tramural director and leave him free to tackle other pro blems. He explained that the University is one of the few ' uetroit s 3i-game winner Denny McLain hurting and faltering badly. No help. Bat then Lolich brought the Tigers back, 5-3, Monday. And Wednesday it was Get Rid Of That Frustration Day at Busch Stadium as the Tigers had a field day, 13-1, in what will surely be recorded as one of the greatest World Series games any team has ever played. Thursday, no matter what the outcome, it should be fairly apparent by now that the two teams can play quite evenly over an extended period of time. This is not to run down the Cardinals they are a very good team obviously but to put them in perspective. They are human after all, it seems. Nay, after Wednes day, all too human. So next time some NL egoist tells you about the Junior Circuit, confront him with some facts. It might catch him out of his element.

Poor simile or not, Kansas is riding high after methodically disposing of Il linois, Indiana and New Mexico in crushing fashion. In fact, Coach Pepper Rodgers' outfit is the most prolific-scoring college team in the country with 153 points. QUICK CALCULATION reveals that's 51 points a game, indicating that Nebraska's defensive forces will be confronted with their stiffest test to date. At the controls of KU's power-packed offense is Bob by Douglass. Big Eight Back-of-the-Year in 1967. And he's waging a strong campaign for a repeat honor. Douglass' three-game chart shows 111 rushing yards plus 21 of 39 passes for 329 more yards. He has scored four touchdowns. Douglass owns those statistics despite limited action. Douglass is not expected to get that bench opportunity Saturday. Or for that matter, 11 major colleges still charging entry fees for activities. He added that a new method of obtaining revenue must be acquired to eliminate this aspect of the program. With $20 entry fees for the two major team activities of football and basketball, about $3,000 to $4,000 is acquired each year, he said. Charging $20, however, eliminates several groups desiring to participate but lacking funds, he added. He suggested that either some or all of the money col lected from the entry fees could be obtained from stu dent fees. He said the money is used to pay intramural of ficials $2 per game. LOOKING TOWARD the future, Meier said possible expansion can be developed quickly for outdoor areas, but progress would be slower for indoor facilities. "It's very difficult to start even today and be able to j expand much on indoor facilities," he said. "It's easier to get space and grass for outdoor areas than it is to construct buildings for in door activities." He said if cooperation was obtained by all concerns and additional areas were located that could be used, the department would make rapid improvement in outdoor facilities. "It is evident outdoor facilities could be Improved in six months with new fields and more tennis courts," he said. Soccermen set Friday practice The University Soccer club took the weekend off in preparation for next Sunday's game against Kearney State College in Lincoln. Victor Umana, team cap tain, said the team will hold a 6 p.m. practice Friday at Peter Pan Park to prepare for the club's third contest. 1 5 li f i c- any of the Jayhawks. The story so far is that when Kansas plays, the scoreboard gets a heavy workout. When Nebraska plays, not quite so heavy. KU's offense makes it roll; NU's defense, well, thrives on it. Nebraska must put the clamps on Douglass. The Huskers must also contend with the likes of Donnie Shanklin, John R i g g i n s , Junior Riggins and John Jackson. Not to speak of tight end John Mosier, last fall's Big Eight sophomore of the year, and junior college transfer George McGowan, starting split end. Shanklin'sTH RE E - G A M E feats have spawned more reaction at Lawrence since Jim Ryun announced KU as his choice. Shanklin, who whisked a 9.7 hundred as a prep at Amarillo, Tex., has galloped for five touchdowns so far this year. More impressively, he has gained 284 net yards on just 17 tries. That's 16.7 yards a stab. Besides that, Shanklin has returned seven punts for 201 yards (28.7 average), including one touchdown, and four kickoffs for 86 yards. Junior Riggins, starting tailback last season and the Jayhawks' No. two rusher the last two years, does not even start for Rodgers. Shanklin returned to the tailback slot this year after leading KU's rushers from that spot as a sophomore. He ran the ball only 20 times last year as a wide receiver. But Riggins' second-team status has not kept him out of the spotlight. Rodgers and his staff nominated the Cen tralia, Kan., native for Big Eight Back of the Week after the 68-7 New Mexico thrashing. He scored two touchdowns while leading the Jayhawks in rushing and pass receiving with 68 yards on 10 carries and three receptions for 49 yards. John Riggins, Junior's brother, ranks as KU's top fullback. The soph standout who gained All-American ac claim as a prepster has rushed for 177 yards (6.8 average) and scored two touchdowns. MOSIER AND McGowan provide Rodgers with even more firepower.

Four of those catches were for touchdowns. McGowan, a transfer from Glendale (Calif.) College, moved into a starting role after turning in an impressive job during spring drills. In four intra-squad scrimmages the 190-pound junior caught 32 passes for 523 yards, in cluding 12 for 141 in the final spring game. John Zook need not be in troduced to Husker followers. He took that privilege upon himself, rather rudely, in Kansas' 10-0 win over Nebraska last year. Zook was chosen national lineman of the week by the Associated Press for his effort in the Husker upset. That shutout was Devaney's first whitewash in six seasons at Nebraska. Zook sets his sights on one more. And so does Vernon Vanoy, the foot-ball-basketballer who holds down the other defensive end post. Vanoy, an all-stater in both sports at Kansas City Lincoln High School, came t o Lawrence on a basketball Racketeers reset game A tennis clinic and exhibi tion match to raise funds for starving Biafrans has been set for 4 p.m., Thursday. The matches, originally set for Tuesday afternoon, were cancelled by the afternoon rains. If inclement weather forces another postponement, the meet will be held at 3:30 p.m. Friday. Rudolph Nah Roberts, coach and captain of the Liberian Davis Cup team, will conduct the event at the ten nis courts between trie Col iseum and the Men's Physical Education Building. The clinic is open free of charge to all University stu dents and personnel, Roberts said. It will feature an ex hibition match between Roberts and William Roehrs, top-ranked player on the University tennis squad. 4 & 8 TRACK Cartridges recorded Sound City 432-7305 144 U. 9th MM The Eberhard FaberTR35 porous-point pen won't dry up even when uncapped for weeks.

But unfortunately for Mve Big Eight, Vanoy decided lie still liked the rough stuff and promptly earned a starting assignment last year as a junior. ORVILLE TURGEON, like Zook, needs no introduction to Nebraskans. Turgeon," a. Nebraska product from Valentine, was the other villati instrumental in last fall's NU knockout. He pounced on a Husker fumble midway in the fourth quarter to stop a drive that had produced two first downs to midfield. Turgeou returns to his starting post at defensive tackle. Kansas's defensive secon-; dary almost matches Nebraska's experienced fleet as the four spots are filleJ by a quartet of two-year let termen, headed by Tommy Ball, who is in his third year as a starter. So, passers are in danger. But Douglass, Ernie Sigler and Frank Patrick have always managed to put tiie ball in the air. It's where it lands that makes the dif-" ference. - - Current t w Blovies m m m Viam raratehed kr Tkcrter. lUo: -BL MM mi M, Mi IM LINCOLN CooperLincoln: 'The Stranger Returns', 7:25, 9:25.
