opportunity to land on the first
nine this year..
Frar.'r (Stub) Knox, who cap
tained the Gophers in 1940 from
second base, has been assisting
with coaching duties ver since

Kansas Relays
Shaping Fast
Starter Named as Entries
Pour in for Annual Event
LAWRENCE, Apr. 8. Karl
Schlademan, head track coach at
Michigan State college, will act
aa starter in the 20th annual Kan
sas relays and interscholastic track
and field meet to be held in Me
morial stadium, April 17 and 18,
Gwinn Henry, director of the re
lays and athletic director at the
University of Kansas, announced
Wednesday.
Schlademan, who was former
head track coach and football line
coach at the University of Kansas,
will bring a squad of 12 men for
competition. Michigan State thin
clads have traditionally furnished
tough competition for all tntries
in the annual Kansas relays for the
past several years.
Comes from K. U.
Schlademan coached at K. U.
from 1920 to 1926, coming here
from Baker university. Later he
went to Washington State college,
where his Cougar track and field
squad always ranked high in the
Pacific Coast conference.
Registrations coming into the
office of Director Henry indicate
that a strong field of entries in
all special college and university
events will be on hand for the car
nival, In spite of curtailments
which may have been occasioned
by the war.
Attendance at the various high
school conferences this winter on
Mount. Oread has shown in every
case a marked increase, leading
relays officials to look for a larger
representation from all schools for
the inter-scholastic games the day
before the Kansas Relays.
Fast Times on Record.
Champions of the 1941 Kansas
relays, with their events, times
and schools, were:
100 yard dash, Terry,' Tex., :09.4;
120 yard high hurdles, Owens,
Howard Payne, :14.4; high jump,
Stoland and Sanneman, Kas., 6'

son. He is Jack Langan, the right
hander from Odell, 111. Backing
hi mup as a nucleus will be three
other lettermen, John Feickert,
Moorhead, in the outfield; Alden
Burkstrand, Cokato, short stop;
and Bill Anderson, Minneapolis,
on the mound.
Anderson injured his leg re
cently and the Gophers may de
pend upon veteran Norm Gallup
to do much of the hurling. Gallup
pitched in three games last year to
relieve the arm of No. 1 pitcher,
Gene Flick.
Hitters Are Scarce.
Although the team lost some of
its best hitters, Coach MacMillan
is confident that the veterans who
are back and the few outstanding
sophomores will more than make
up for their loss. Gone are Cap
tain George Sweeney, first base;
George Boerner, left field; Bob
Grone, center field; Bob Sweiger,
catcher; Flick, pitcher; and Bill
Galhgan, second base.
Only football player on the
team will be Jerry Kolander in
the infield; while the hockey squad
will be represented by hockey cap
tain Al Eggleton, now In the out
field.
Minnesota's usual southern prac
tice trips were called off because
of transportation difficulties, but
the coach hastily scheduled some
strong local teams to break the
boys in for Big Ten competition.
Mac Hat Expenses.
Although this is his first year as
a Minnesota baseball coach, Mac
Millan is no rookie on the diamond,
having coached baseball at the
University of Idaho before coming
to Minnesota 15 years ago.
The Gophers' batting power will
be a matter of speculation until
