KU Relays

Track Stars
Fourteen' of the Texas Relays'
19 champions, including five re
lay teams from the Lone Star
state, will go after further glory
in the twenty-third running of
the Kansas Relays in Lawrence
April 17.
In addition to this list of cham
pions, the Mt. Oread Olympics
will draw the runner-ups in four
of the events, the pole vault, 100
yard dash, shot put and high
jump. The 100, in fact, will go
three deep with Nebraska's Alan
Thompson a certain entry. He
finished behind Texas' Charlie
Parker, the winner who rambled
:09.9, and Maurice Fuquay, Okla
homa Aggie flash who ran second.
Gordien Entered
Fortune Gordien, Minnesota's
rugged weight pegger, set a new
discus record for the Austin
games with a toss of 172' 5Vt".
This is also approximately a foot
beyond the KU standard of 171'
5 V hung up by Archie Harris
in 1941.
The 205-pound Gopher also won
the shot at 51 9'2" and will be
a top-notch threat in that field.
Of the three other field event
champs who will also be seen at
Kansas, two erected good marks
at Austin. Jack Heintzman, Brad
ley's hard-running high jumper,
negotiated 6' 7 V to bag his
specialty ahead of KU's Tom Sco
field, the; 1947 National Junior
AAU champion who also will be
co-defcnuer of the crown he has
captured here the past two years.
Nebraska's Monte Kinder tied the
Jay hawkers' lean leaper at 6' i3i"
on an indoor takeoff under the
east wing of Memorial stadium.
A downpour had driven the event
inside.
Relay Quartets
Five relays' winners will make
their presence felt on the Mt.
Oread oval. With Jerry Thompson,
phenomenal 120-pound NCAA
two-mile champion, anchoring the
two-mile and distance medley
quartets, Texas will rank as one
of the prime favorites to add the
Kansas titles to their own meet
baubles in these two baton
events.
The Steers won the latter title
here last year and also will be
defending their 440 and 880 relay
crowns. With Allen Lawler back
in the harness after a late winter
appendectomy, the Longhorns
probably will be a full second
better in both the latter events.
They hit :41.5 in the quarter and
1:27.2 in the 880 winning this
double sprint scepter at their
own meet.
Mile Relay Defenders
Texas Aggies will be back to
defend the mile relay champion
ship they have copped here the
past two years, and at least three
of the '47 team members again
will take their places in the start
ing chute. These include Art
Harnden and C. R. Holbrook, the
one-two finishers in the South
west conference open quarter last
year, and E. G. Bilderback who
usually runs the second leg.
The event has been run faster
than the Cadets' Austin time only
twice and one of those, 3:16.1, by
Texas in '35, still stands as the
Kansas record.
An extremely important stud
ent opinion poll will be conducted
by The Daily Nebraskan, begin
ning today. All reporters and
would-be reporters who are in
terested are asked to report to
the office early today.
