like he will be shifted from his
old shortstop position to take care
of the keystone position. George
LrribDie will cover the shortstop
territory with Pat Boyle, another
newcomer, handling the hot corn

Jake Sedlack will be stationed in
left field, with Fritz Wolff in cen

Hunt, Defield
Meet Again
At KU Relays
, in Vault Event1
LAWRENCE. Representatives
of thirty of the leading colleges
and universities in the mid-Central
section of the nation will bat
tle it out for individual and team
championships at the 20th annual
University of Kansas Relays to be
held Saturday, April 18, in Me

One of the hottest events on this
year track menu will be pro
vided in the pole vault with a star
studded field entered in this event.
Leading the parade will be Harold
Hunt, Nebraska skyster, who won
the indoor title at the Big Six
meet in Kansas City this spring
with a vault of nearly 14 feet, and
Jack Defield, Minnesota parachut
ist from Minneapolis, who tied for
first this year with Bill Williams
of Wisconsin, in the Big Ten.
Defield's best vault so far this
season was 14 feet which he
cleared at the Millrose games in
New York where he was second to
Cornelius Warmerdam, world rec
ord holder in the event.
Missing this year for the first
time since the relays were estab
lished are Northwestern and Iowa,
always strong contenders for both
individual and team champion
ships.

CURRENT fraternity I-M dissension is the best thing that we
can think of to hurt the program. . . At least it is taking the essen
tial qualities out of the system and destroying them. . . As one
fellow ably put it, "Winning a championship in an I-M Bport doesn't
prove anything about athletic ability of the team. One thing that it
dose prove though they certainly must be good talkers.". . . And a
close check-up of the situation seems to reflect this. . . The trouble
is there are many small infractions of the rules committed on every
one's par but do not make much difference in most cases. . . When
someone ferrets out these cases there is not much that the intramural
department can do but enforce them.
AS it is now, people pick up the paper to read the score of
some game or match of some sort. . . They look at it but it doesnl
mean much for they are waiting for the next paper to see when
the game will be played over. . . When it gets down to that point,
it is time to do something to clear up the unhealthy atmosphere
provided by "Doubting-Thomases". . . Everyone is getting tired
of the Id song and dance about "deliberate infractions of the
rules.
It looks like spring is really here to stay. . . Eugene "Red"
Littler, Mitchell speed-king seems to think it is. . . A little over a week
ago Red v.' released from the hospital after a hardy siege of the
pneumonia afflicUon. . . He was out on the track Monday and Tues
day trotting around and trying to get back into the shape he once
knew before the sickness hit him. . . Perhaps he read in the paper
where Grover Klemmer, California ace in the 440, has had his share
of bad luck.
LAST week when the USC and the California track teams
got together in their dual meet, Klemmer was running against Hu
bert Kerns in what promised to be the standout race of the meet...
However, in the first 30 yards Klemmer pulled up with a pulled
leg muscle. . . Red was bothered throughout the indoor season with
a leg injury and just as that straightened out, the pneumonia hit
him so he feels that this will kind of even matters with his old
rival. . . The two have gotten together in a few races which cant
be forgotten.
WELL, the major leagues swung into action yesterday after
noon all along the route. . . From the looks of things this season
will be plenty tough and if the teams can weather this one, their
future is virtually assured. . . In the American league, we pick the
Yanks to stay in the upper niche, pressed closety by the Cleveland
Indians, sans Bob Feller, but with a young player-coach at the
helm, Lou Boudreau.
