Hackney, who had a mark of 54-1 S in last Saturday's Colora do Relays, will be gunning for a new meet mark in the shot. The present mark is held by Sam Francis, who got 52-11 inches two years ago in his sweat pants. " Ed Wibbels, of the Huskers, who got 15S.29 for a new Drake Relays record i nthe discus last Satur day, will be favored to break an other of Francis' records 14S-11 which he also set two years ago. The pole vault and high jump records, held by Noble and Shan non respectively of Kansas, are in danger from another pair of Kan- sans. Don Bird and Bob Stouand. The pole vault mark, 13-17 should be easy pickings for Bird, wmie Stoland has exceeded the b-' mark in the high jump several times. Mitchell threatens record. Don Landon of Kansas State set the two mile record in 9:39.1 five years ago. but Charley Mitch ell, Big Six two mile champion has bettered that mark.

LLOYD 1IUI1TES1 And Hu SENSATIONAL BAND OF H FEATVRINO PI1X KTUC THE IX)SSOM .rARTKT and Special Arraemenl 'Swing will live take its place By Stanley Breucr. His right hand holding a half eaten hard roll and his left clutch ing his $100,000 Stradivarius, Dave Rubinoff told a small group in Kenneth Van Sant's office yester day that "university groups are more cultured than adult audi ences," and that ""swing is here to stay." "Swing is alive," he said, en thusiastically, "it is more practical than jazi or ragtime. It will live on, for there is nothing that can take its place. Everyone likes it. Anybody that says he doesn't, just won't admit it." But when it came to the swinging of classical pieces, Rubinoff shook his head. "It's ri diculous. There are plenty or mod ern pieces that can be swung beautifully." Violinist unsophisticated. The hard roll he was eating he brought from the side pocket of his coat to show how hungry he 11 may hAve bwn but the rest of his personality. He was carelessly dressed.

After the interview, someone remarked "He's as com mon as an old shoe!" "Sure, university students ap preciate good music better than an older audience. What is the use of denying it? They are more cultured." That is one of the rea sons he likes the tour he is now making. Recalling the time, three years ago, when he played to 150,000 people in an outdoor am phitheatre in Chicago, he grim aced and said, "Such places are made for circuses." Plays what audience wants. "If I played what I wanted, I wouldn't eat,'' said the maestro when asked how he decided what to give his audiences. "When I gx into a restaurant, I order what I want. When I play at home, I play what I want. But when I play a concert, I play what the audience wants."

He tenderly expressed his sym pathy for an ex-student of his, band leader Artie Shaw, who lies sick in a New York hospital. He spoke modestly about other stu dents of his, Benny Goodman, who studied under him five years and Tommy Dorsey for seven. "The boys are doing swell," he smiled, "maybe better than I am." He walked around the Student Union and looked into the ball room. "It's wonderful. This would be a perfect place to dance." He said that he plans to return to radio on the completion of the, tour, "after a rest." To watch the "Strad." With him were a mysterious Mr. Brown, whose sole duty it is to keep track of the Strad and his brother- manager, Phil Rubinoff, who did quite a little off-the-rec-ord chatting with an attractive young lady interviewer. One of the bystanders whisp ered. "Why, he's just an ordinary person." And that's what he is an ordinary person with a great mu sical soul and a truly great per sonality.
