WeHnesclay, April 17, 1940 LeMaster fractures ankle; team starts road trip today Jflljl 11 II o By June Bierbower. One of the best races on thel. Kansas Relay program will be the hundred, In which Northwestern's Myron Piker, and Welby Williams of North Texas Teachers will be co-favorites along with the Husk ers' Red Littler. Piker is a Junior in school, and has won three sprint champion ships in three Big Ten meets. As a sophomore, he won the indoor 60, and the outdoor hundred yard races; then, this winter, he suc cessfully defended his indoor title. His best time is 9.5 seconds. Williams, a sophomore who has been clocked in 9.6 seconds, has caught the fancy of southwestern fans. He first sprung into promi nence at an early season meet, the Border Relays, when he sur prised everyone by beating out Lonnie Hill, Texas' highly touted sophomore, In the hundred. No one had ever heard of the 5' 7" Williams, while Hill is the boy who ran a close second to Littler in the junior AAU 200 meter final Since then Williams has been showing his victory, made against a strong wind, was not a fluke. He won the Texas Relays hun dred. The hundred is not Littler's best distance, but he has been clocked in 9.8 seconds twice; one in high school with a favoring wind, and last year in a frosh meet The Huskers red hair and style of running in which ne sticks out his chin and carries his arms low catches a crowd's fancy. As soon as those in attendance at the conference meet in Kansas City saw him run once, they were "sold" on him, and sat up in antici pation whenever he went to his marks through the rest of the meet. Littler seems t be in good shape after suffering a slight muscle injury last week, but both he and Piker are at a disad vantage because of lack of out door workouts. Williams has been outside for more than a month, thus having the jump on the other two, but anyway you look at it, there's going to be a full 9-odd seconds at Lawrence Saturady when the gun goes off in the hun dred. Beta's nip Delta Theta Phi in eight frames Beta Theta. Pi won an 8-lnning game from Delta Theta Phi, 817 in League 3 to feature Monday's intramural play. Pillsbury scored on Pitcher Stoddard's hit in the eighth. The losers made all their runs In the third inning, and the score was tied 7-&U at the end of the regular five innings. AGR's Schneider turned in the day's pitching gem as he limited Zeta Beta Tau to a lone hit, one by Altsuler, and struck out 11 men. It was a league 1 encounter Bill Hastings' homer in the fifth with the bases loaded gave Acacia a 16-13 win over the Sig Rps In League 2 in a thriller. MlUigan and Williams got homers for the winners in the second inning. Delts nip Fiji's In League 5, the Delts scored frve runs in the fifth Inning to nudge the Phi Gjcts, 10-9. The Phi Gams got six on their runs in the first and three In the fourth frame. In another League 5 game, Phi Sigma Kappa lost 10-2 to the Delta Sigs.
