THE DAILY NRBRASKAN RELAY PROSPECTS LOOK PROMISING CooJ Mark i Early Maets IadicaU Fast Competition ia Coming Kaaaaa Carnival Lawrence, Kansas, April 9. (Special) Good marks, including r ne new world and American outdoor tecord for the mile and seven-eighths medley by Iowa State, in the Texas and Rice Relays, shared in al most equally by the various coir ferences and sections of the country represented, indicates another out door season of stellar performances in the remaining big outdoor relay carnivals this season. The Kansas Relays at Memorial Stadium of the University of Kansas are next on the program in the terri tory west of the Mississippi River and the fact that practically all of tie fast teams that competed at Texas, in addition to numerous others from the Big Ten and Missouri Valley Con ferences and the Pacific coast will come to Kansas for action, makes it certain that this meet will again produce some classy performances. Indoor Mark Ara Good The indoor conference and dual meets, and the southern relay carni vals make predictions on perform ances in the special events for indi vidual track and field stars possible, but forecasting the results in the uni versity, college and high school class relays is rather uncertain. Illinois, by winning the four-mile relay in the Illinois relays and both southern re lays, indicates a clean-sweep team in that event this season, whOs Iowa State, or Ames, of the Missouri Val ley Conference has been cleaning up in the medley sufficiently to make itself a favorite whenever it runs. Notre Dame and Kansas are both known to have fast dash relay teams, while Iowa University, Wisconsin, the Kansas Aggies and Oklahoma all have fast one-mile relay quartets. With the Kansas Relays but four weekks off work is being done daily to get the big quarter-mile track and 220-yards straightaway into top shape for the racing. The track is said to be one of the fastest in Amer ica and this fact coupled with the ex cellent weather and climatic condi tions which have prevailed for the Kansas event has turned out some ex ceptionally good records each year and should result in more of the same this season.
