There is nething intricate abeut his plot in this sport stery. In fact,
it is based upon se much fact that it might easily cease te be fiction. But
fer levers of basketball, beys, girls, women or men who leve to fellew the
pounding feet up and down the maple beards, I'll guarantee that "Yead Wildcatsé"
will give yeu some thrills - clean, wholesome ones.

New, fer varsity track - track at K.U. looked quite resy from an early
inventery of men on the campus. With such star performers as “Ike" Issacson,
1944 Big Six champ in the 100 and 220; LeRey Rebison, 1944 Big Six champ in
the javelin; Tom Seofield, 1944 Big Six champ in the high jump and broad jump;
Harvey Morrow, secend place winner in the pde vault; Jim Sargent, third place
winner in the high jump, and with Lynn Leigh, Bill Schell, William Stewart,
Jehn Hawley and Rolland Hamilten, returning lettermen in the middle distance
runs, we had a nice nucleus te build around.

New men on the campus included Bill Wygle (freshman), 6 fte 5 ine, 250 lbs.
shet putter whe ranked third perfermance in the National High Schoel Honer
Roll in 1944; Ernest Bauer, Navy med. student, 6 ft. 2 ine, 205 lbs., with a credi*’
table record in all three weight events (incidentally, Ernie was captain ef
the Great Lakes football team in 1944 until fransferred te K.U.); John Jackson,
vete, a good middle distance man from Shawnee Mission; Owen Pick, a springer
from Wyandette Highs; Richard Hudson, a man with no fermer experience in track,
but with a let ef potential ability.

It sheuld net be fergotten that first of all several of these fellows
had a job te de fer Uncle Sam. Most ef them were V-12 trainees. Witha few
transfers, inductions and special requirements, the picture has changed cen-
siderably. The remaining men are doing a creditable job but are lacking in
number te be effective enough:

LeRey Robisen, V-12, is still tops in the Big Six in his special event,
the javelin. He has been werking hard with the shet and discus, and is by no
means & bad high jumper. His outstanding scoring spree was to cop 18 points
by winning the shot, discus, javelin and tying for first in the high jump
at 0.U. outdoor meet on April 14.

KeUe had a very ordinary indoor season, lesing to Nebraska 54 to 42 on
Febe 5, and to Misseuri 74 to 80 on Feb. 17, beating Oklahoma 62 te 41 on Feb.
10, and drepping to fifth place in the Cenference meet. These scores were -
Iowa State 40, Nebraskn 33, Missouri 283, Oklahoma 19, Kansas 14, Kansas State 06.

The eutdeer season started at Oklahoma in a downpour, on April 14, 0.U.
winning 75 to 51. At the Drake Relays last week Kansas was ably represented
by twe relay teams and LeRoy Robison in the javelin and the shet. The sprint
medley team - John Jackson, Owen Peck, Kenneth Danneberg and Richard Hudsen,
placed thirds; the mile relay team - Richard Hudsen, Jehn Jacksen, Lynn Leigh
and Kenneth Danneberg, placed third. Rebison placed fifth in the shot and
