It
By Bob Miller
RACE for the laurel wreath in Intramural it still fairly
close. . . At this writing, Friday morning, It looks like the Betas
have the inside track with the Phi Gams having an outside chance
. . Not to be overlooked are the DUs who are batting along in
Intramural softball circles at a good pace due to their pitcher, Bob
Saalfeld. . . Let's look at the situation and see how it stands at
this point.
WHEN the last points were computed the Betas led the Fijis
680-579. . . Now this score took in everything up to and Including
track which after two disqualifications of other teams, the Betas
won, garnering 100 points here. . . Since then the Phi Gams on Wed
nesday bowled their way to the I-M bowling crown over the Betas,
Delta and ZBT's to gain 100 points on that score. . . This, if my
computations are correct gives the lead back to the Phi Gams by about
14 points. . . But this is without the tennis and golf results figured
in and In these two sports the Betas are near the finals and should
be able to pick up 50-60 points. That leaves it up to softballf . . All
the Betas have to do to win the I-M Jack Best trophy Is to make
the finals In the softball sport, provided the DU's don't get too torrid
in the sport.
THERE will be plenty of relays being held in the next two
weeks. . . It seems that everyone likes to hold relays and they do
It up In big styles. . . On Saturday will be the KU relays at Law
rence which will see the best In the midwest on tap when the
starter blows his whislte and raises his gun. . . Glenn Cunningham
will be on hand to do the refereeing job for the events, to bring him
back to the state where he got his start in the miling game. . .
Speaking of milers someone brought up the fact some time ago
that several of the great milers In history, Cunningham included,
were victims of leg burns in their youth. . . Some doctors have ad:
vanced the theory that these men due to the strain on their leg
muscles caused by the burns could run better with shortened
muscles in long legs.
PARDON the digression, but back to relays. . . The next week
end will see two big events in the track world. . . On April 24 and 25
will be held the Drake Relays and the Penn Relays. . . There Is a lot
of competition between the two to try and drag in the better athletes
. . . This can be noticed by the type of advanced material each school
sends out . . When we get the Drake advanced dope we read all
about how the Drake contest Is superior to the Penn extravaganza
and vice versa. . . Both relays threw open their gates to the men in
the armed forces to allow them to run. . . Back at Penn will be seen
Long John Woodruff, middle distance ace, who is In the army. . .
The navy represented by the Great Lakes training school will compete
at Drake. . . As one writer put it, "Don't crowd those army and navy
boys on the turns because just remember they're good marksmen, too."

Close Contest
From Wallop
. . . On Temple Field
Not just practice scrimmages In
spring football drills but the real
thing were the games played Wed
nesday and Thursday night at the
Temple Theatre between Baga
telle, which has taken two straight
victories, and Wallop.
The final score of either game is
still not known, but Elmer Glutz,
star of the Bagatelle Bad-boys, led
his team to an overwhelming vic
tory.
Ruff and Tuff, stars of the Wal
lop team, were Injured seriously
after trying to stop Glutz. Both
were found in XY-317 protective
corsets which, according to corset
manufacturer, Maximillian Potts,
saved them from fatal injuries.
Bagatelle was trailing badly in
the first part of the game until
Glutz appeared. Coach Zip O'Hara
was jubilant over the playing of
his team, but Coach Rasputin of
Wallop, reportedly committed sui
cide after the games. Ruff and
Tuff quit the team after the first
game, but showed up last night.
The game will be replayed to
night and tomorrow night with
Bagatelle the heavy favorite. Odds
are two million to one in favor of
the Bad-boys whom nobody sees
but who Bob Aldrich, author of
Pott Shots, the Kosmet Klub
spring play, which begins at 8
p. m.
The football game starts at
about 9:30 p. m. All seats are re
served and tickets are still avail
able.

committee, said today.
Any amateur wrestler who has
not won a national AAU title is
eligible for the meet, Otopalik
said.
"This is a wonderful opportun
ity for the midwest, where we
have more good wrestlers than
any other section," the Cyclone
coach explained. "Ordinarily the
meet is held in a large metropoh
tan area in the east or the south
which makes it hard for our boys
to travel."

Kansas Relays Receive Last
Touches; Vault Rates High
In Spectator Interest
LAWRENCE. With the receipt of entrance blanks from Wiscon
sin university, University of Kansas relays officials are putting the
final touches on plans for the Twentieth Annual Relays to be held in
Memorial stadium, and are now hoping for fair weather to assist
some of the most spirited and classy competition in recent years.
Heading the Wisconsin delegation will be Williams, ace pole
vaulter, who with Hunt of Nebraska, Defield of Minnesota, not to
mention Missouri's Rothwell and Nebraska's Debus are expected to put
on one of the finest vaulting shows ever seen in this section of the
country. Williams and Defield tied for the K. U. relays championship
last year at 13 feet on a blustery day so windy that it kept the great
Earl Meadows, former world's record holder here for an exhibition of
his specialty, to a vault of a little over 13 feet.
Hunt Looks Good.
Both have been going consistent
ly over 14 feet this year, as has
Hunt. Hunt won the Texas relays
event with a leap of over 14 feet
and Defield was second only to
Cornelius Warmerdam in the Mil
rose games in New York, with a
vault of 14 feet even.
Wisconsin's Blerele, ace weight
man, is expected to put on a stir
ring battle with Missouri's giant
Elmer Aussieker, and Nebraska's
Edsel Wibbles. All three heavers
have been tossing the shot out
around the 50 foot marker and
with a fair day, officials are look
ing for an approach to the record
of Elmer Hackney who established
the Kansas Relay's mark of 52
14" in 1939.
High Jump Awaited.
Another event which is being
anticipated with a great deal of
Interest Is the high jump, featur
ing Oklahoma A. A M.'s Boydston,
winner of the event in 1940 at the
Kansas games. He will be back
this year to attempt to regain his
garlands which were won with a
leap of 6 feet 6 inches. Boydston
has done 6 8" this spring. Chief
competition is expected to come
from Milne of Michigan State. The
Kansas relay's record is 6 feet
7 9-16 inches set by Cruter, of
Colorado, in 1938.
One of the most Interesting
duels of the day is expected to be
in the sprint medley between Ok
lahoma's fast stepping quartet, and
Indiana's four man combination.
The Hoosiers won the event last
year and in accomplishing the feat
set a new relay's mark of 3:25.2.
Two of the members of last year's
winning combination, Campbell
Kane, and RHey, are on the team
this season.
