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.

All-American And All-British Teams
Are Latest Novelty in Fiction World
There have been All-Western foot-(speed and push, if not so much stay-
ball teams, All-American football
teams, and a multitude of All-Some
thing teams, but the latest in hon
orary or mythical squads are the All
American and All-British Interna
tional Fiction teams, which have been
compiled by F. K. W. Drury, of
Brown University.
These two teams are composed of
famous characters in fiction, the All
American team being characters in
American fiction, and the All-British
team being characters in British flc-
Groups from all over the state are tion. Mr. Drury's choice of players
expected to attend the musical treat.
Special arrangements will probably
be made to accommodate parties, and
reservations will be made for out of
town groups in advance of the or
chestra's appearance here.
The Minneapolis Symphony is re
cognized as one of the principle
musical ensembles of the world. The
orchestra is making its annual spring
tour, and is now playing its twenty-
fourth successful season. It is urer
the direction of the famous H i
Varbruggen.
As an additional treat, the soloist
of the symphony, Bernard Ferguson,
baritone singer of note, will be on
the program.
The main floor of the field house
will be outfitted with a special raised
platform for the orchestra and more
than 1,000 seats will be installed on
the main floor. In addition, there
are 3,500 permanent seats in the field
house stands and galleries which will
permit the largest audience to enjoy
the treat.
and the lineups of the teams are:
All-American team: ends, Ben-Hur,
(Wallace), Saracinesca, (Crawford);
tackles; Silas Lapham, (Howells),

vel, Churchill), Peter Stirling,
(Ford); fullback, Ethen Frome,
(Wharton). The names in parenthesis
are the authors of the characters.
Of the All-American Team Mr.
Drury says: "As a whole the team is
to be feared. It has great ground-1
gaining ability and is strong on de
fense. As compared with a British
or Continental team it has more
ing quality."
' According to Mr. Drury, the All-
British team is well trained, strong
in physique, of great staying power.
and outweighs the American t-im
considerably. Following is the line
up of the All-British aggregation

ter of Ballantrae, (Stevenson) ; tack
les: Richard Feveral, (Meredith),
