LAWRENCE, Kan. With big
and better prewar stars flood
Z every track team in the na
tion Kansas Relays followers al
ready are counting on watching
the most glittering galaxy in the
history of the Jayhawker games
here April 18 and 19 when the
twenty-second running of the
event unfolds.
Runnin over the expected en
try list Hehtly one finds such
ttmts as Charlie Parker, Texas'
nsatlonal sprint flash; Fortune
Gordien, Minnesota's treat weight
bolster; Bobby Ginn, Nebraska's
one-time NCAA mile kinr, and
Bill Martinson, Baylor's sawed
0ff bullet who recently broke
Parker's string of victories In the
100-yard dash.
Today's aces will have to flash
top form, however, to match the
sparkling standard erected by Re
lays luminaries of the past. Start
ing with the decathlon, a feature
which is included in only one
other major Relays carnival, and
extending through the regular
card of events the Mt. Oread
classic has drawn most of the na
tion's top aces during the last
two decades.
Decathlon Stars.
Headed by a stick-out decath
lon brigade the Kansas Relays
have paraded a long list of United
States Olympic satellites. The
Jayhawker games have produced
the last two world's decathlon
kings, Glen Morris. Denver Ath
letic club clueser in 1936, and Jim
Bansrh sometimes called the
greatest athlete in Kansas history,
in 1932. In 1928 Tom Churchill,
the Oklahoma ironman, placed
fifth in the 10-event affair at
Stockholm after capturing his first
decathlon title at KU.
Others on the Olympic list in
clude KU's own Glenn Cunning
ham, who toiled in both the '32
and '3fi eames: Eddie Tolan and
Ralph Met calf, the great pair of
negro sprinters who never won
a Kansas Relays race; Ed Gor
don 1932 hrnad inmn titlist: John
Kuck. Emporia Normal's weieht
star; Sam Francis, one-time Ne
braska shot-putter who bagged
third in hi crwrinltv at Berlin in
1936, and George Saling, Iowa's
ism! hieh hurdles king.
Francis, current Kansas State
football rnarh lnfteil the bir iron
atate 49 feet, 2 inches in 1936 to
win the title here and came back
a year later to establish a new
mark at 51 feet 6 inches. This
was wiped out in 1939 when Kan
sas State's Elmer Hackney set the
present record of 52 feet Vil
inches.
Cunningham ruled the nation's
miters for almost a full decade,
doing more than any one man to
popularize that distance in world
wide track meets.
Cunningham raced plenty of il
lustrious company at the Relays
including such four-star perform
ers as Archie San Romani, Em
Poria Stnte; Gene Venske, Penn;
John Fenske, Wisconsin, and
Blaine and Wayne Rideout.

Injuries
Bernie was pleased with the
showing of the Nebraska varsity
outiits as they engaged a pair of
Pop Klein's Nubbins combinations.
The injury toll, however, caused
the UN head some concern.
Joe Partington, scrappy center
who turned to the quarterback
spot this spring, bowed out of the
milling with a broken nose, while
Halfback Charlie Harrington, Au
burn transfer from Washington
and Lee, was forced to the side
lines with a bruised hip.
Other squadmen on the casualty
list were Bill Skog. guard candi
date, who suffered a strained
neck; Bill Kane, bruise below the
eye, and Mort Porter, cut mouth.
It was the second time the in
jury jinx has taken picks on Par
tington. The reformed center was
put out of action late last season
with a broken hand, and missed
the Oklahoma and UCLA games.
Considering the early stage of
spring training, the Husker show
ing was encouraging. Blocking
and tackling on the first varsity
unit was commendable, and a
flock of shifty backs were break
ing through the Nubbins' defenses
for long runs.
Cletus Fischer, rugged St. Ed
ward athlete, flashed plenty of
elusiveness and sheer power from
his halfback spot, while Dale
Adams, converted from halfback
to fullback, was impressing ob
servers with his actions in the
plunging spot.
A new comer to the Husker
gridiron ranks. Halfback Bill Mu
eller of Omaha, was hard to stop
as he eeled and squirmed through
the white-clad Nubbin ranks.
Jim Myers, member of last
fall's "tea," put on a sparkling
display of broken field running
for the varsity, as did Junior Col
lopy, Scottsbluff galloper.
Charlie Toogood, giant North
Platte tackle, showed some good
offensive work. The hefty fresh
man moved with surprising agil
ity in leading blockers into the
opponents' secondary. Another
standout was End Ralph Dam
kroger, DeWitt frosh, who took a
whirl at the gridiron sport for the
first time last fall.
Line Coach Tony Blazine got to
see most of the leading line pros
pects in action during the scrim
mages which were held on the

. . . also with
Nubbins' drill yard northwest of
the coliseum. The main varsity
practice field was too muddy for
the rough work.
Running on the first varsity line
were Alex Cochrane and Dam
kroger at ends, Gordon Hall and
Toogood at tackles. Gene Wilkens
and Jerry Jacupke at guards, and
Gail Gade at center. Dick Thomp
son held down the quarterback
post, while Dick Hutton and Har
rington opened at the halfbacks.
Dale Adams was the fullback.
On the second unit Ed Nyden
and Bob Lipps were at ends, Dick
Goeglein and Carl Samuelson
were at tackle, Bob Deviney and
Fran Mandula were at guards and
Leonard Hand was at center.

called signals for Halfbacks Bill
Mueller and Collopy. Darwin Sa
lestro was at fullback.
Frequent substitutions were
made to give all hands a chance
at actual contact work.
Bob Tegt, Fremont tackle vet,
checked in his equipment. He dis
covered he could graduate this
spring and decided to pass up the
sport.
Larson and Buddy Lee were the
first string ends for the Nubbins,
with Jim Sommers and Moore at
tackles. Munson and Bill Skog
held the guard positions and Jim
Taylor was at center. Don Barker
was at quarterback to start the
workout, while Dean Everett and
Bill Prall were the halfbacks and
Bob Scoville the fullback.
