Prep Tracksters Go For 5 Marks
Friday, April 20, 1956. University Daily Kansan 1
The 19th annual Interscholastic Relays will include more than 1,000 Kansas high school athletes, and providing the Friday track carnival is run off in good weather, there is a good possibility that five records will fall.
Those records which stand in peril of being broken are the 440-yard dash, the 220-yard dash, the 180-yard low hurdles, the javelin, and the discus.
Leading the assault will be Bernie Perrine, Derby dash man, hurdler Rex Stucker of Effingham and Therlo Conner, Topeca Hayden weightman.
The 100-yard record is held by Dick McGlinn of Immaculata at 9.8 the 220 record is 21.3 by Henry Wiebe of Newton, set last year, and the 440 record, 50.2 is held by former KU footballer Frank Cindrich.
Perrine must be considered a threat in three Relay events, having surmounted records in the 220 and 440 dashes with times of 21.0 and 49.1 while having brushed the-yard mark at a time of 9.9 His times on the 220 and 100, however, were with the aid of a 20-mile wind.
The low hurdles record by Don Feller has been topped by three boys in Kansas prep circles. Rex Stucker owns a clocking in the event, and McClain with McClain and Sutteridge of Washington havezipped past the record in 19.9.
440 Held By Cindrich
Wiebe's record of 14.9 in the high hurdles seems fairly safe, as the best times in the state thus far this year have not been under 15 seconds, and Johnson McClintock and Johnson of Hutchinson could din below Wiebe's mark.
In the weight events, the most outstanding athlete is Therlo Conner who last week unleashed 194-feet $ \frac{1}{2} $ - inch toss of the ball. This is the longest throw in the state for the last 22 years. However, it still does not top the standard set by Earl Rittell, 194 feet $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches, which was set in 1930.
Jim Ragan, Lawrence weightman, has the best discus throw in the state with a toss of 151 feet 3 inches, two feet short of the record set by Mark Boxberger in 1954. The shot-up record, 58 feet 10 inches, by Elwyn Dees of Lorraine has stood for 26 years and no one in the state has consistently thrown over 50 feet a Wright of Harper with a 50-21%.
High Jump Looks Safe
This also falls short of the record set by Jere Potts of Ottawa at 12 feet $9^{3}$ inches. The high-jump record has stood since 1939, when Winston Rogers, Independence, soared 6 feet $5^{3}$ inches. Lee of Wichita North is considered the best chance, having learnt 16 feet 3 inches.
The high jump and the pole vault both seem to be safe for this year, but Whiteanack of Shawnee-Mission did 13 feet $ \frac{4}{3} $ inch last week.
Albert Woods, former Coffeyville ace, holds the broad-jump record which is 23 feet $3 \frac{1}{2}$ inches. The closest jump to this mark is by Richardson of Manhattan, with a jump of 22 feet $9 \frac{1}{2}$ inches.
Olathe's medley relay team last week proved that they were the ones to beat in that race with a clocking of 3:31.7. This is just three-tenths of a second off the record set by Elkhart in 1930.
The records in the mile and halfmile are held by Bob Karnes and Bill Stuart, respectively, with times of 4:29.9 and 2:01.2.
The best prep times thus far this season are by Rennick of Maize, 4:-31.1, and a 2:04.3 by Will of Wichita North
The best times in the 880-yard relay and the mile relay are held by Shawnee Mission with respective times of 1:33.3 and 3:31.6. The records are Salina with a 1:32.2 and Shawnee Mission with a 3:29.7.

Jerry Waugh, Kansas' new assistant basketball coach, ranks 11th on the Javhawkers' roster of career scores. He notched 570 points in his four seasons (1948-49-50-51) under Phog Allen. This total was accumulated in 85 games, an activity total surpassed in Mt. Oreal history only by Charlie Black and Claude Houchin. Both the latter played in 87.
Jerry Waugh 11th In Kansas Scoring
However, Waugh was more noted for his defensive jobs of rival aces, an art which earned him the nickname of "The Sheriff". His top effort was his no-goal policing of Gene Melchiorre in the 1950 fifth district playoff against Bradley.
TWO-MILE RELAY TEAM—The University of Texas, second in the two-mile relay in the Texas Relays, will send this quartet of half-milers out for victory in the event at the Kansas Relays. They are, left to right, Keith Pitner, Hulen Hale, Jimmy Holt and Bob Hanson, who ran his high school track at Wichita.
Dr. Forest C. (Phog) Allen's Basketball teams have either won outright or shared the league title 31 times.
Ernie Shelton of Southern California led all high jumpers with a leap of 6 feet $10\frac{1}{4}$ inches at the NCAA outdoor meet in 1954.
Courtney Enters 1,500 Meter Run
Tom Courtney, 1955 NCAA 880 champion and American record holder in the metric half-mile, filed entry Monday in the Kansas Relays' Glenn Cunnigham Mile. He'll be carrying the colors of Fort Dix, N.J., over the 1500 meter distance here.
Courtney set a meet record of 1:49.5 in bagging his national collegiate title last June while representing Fordham. He set a flat-floor 880 record of 1:52.2 to win the Milrose Games during the winter. He set his American 800 meter record at 1:46.8 in Kouvola, Finland last summer. In the National AAU at Boulder in June he was second in the greatest American 880 race of all time, clocking 1:48.
Kansas State filed a 25-man entry Tuesday to lift the combined University-College-Junior colleague list to 43 teams. Wildcat aces include Gene O'Conner, 400-meter hurdler, and Paul Miller, a 14-foot vaulter.
Ten teams have won the World Series in four straight games.
