Large KU Track Team Goes to Texas Relays
Sooners Play KU In Tennis Opener
The KU tennis team opens its 1954 tennis schedule this afternoon at 3 p.m. when it meets the University of Oklahoma on the varsity courts.
The mainstays of the Oklahoma team are Ken Taylor, Big Seven champion last year, Dave Metezger, and John Martin. Oklahoma has already played three matches this season winning all three, and it is regarded as the outstanding team in the Missouri valley area this season.
Facing Taylor in the No.1 singles match will be Al Hedstrom, who was No.2 singles man last season.
'Cardinals Have Chance'
Dick Hadley, transfer from Yale, Merle Sellers, and Don Franklin will play in the second, third, and fourth singles matches, and Roger Youmans will play the No. 5 singles match.
St. Petersburg, Fla—Manager Eddie Stanky headed north today with his St. Louis Cardinals, still giving his club only an "outside chance" of winning the National league pennant. The little bossman did say his Redbirds' showing in the Florida phase of spring training had made him "feel better" about their chances.

Coach M. E. "Bill" Easton and 18 trackmen left Topeka this morning by plane for Austin Texas where they will compete in the annual Texas relays tomorrow and Saturday. This is the largest squad the University has ever sent to this meet.
The trackmen will attempt to retain four championships earned in the 1953 relays and add new records to their laurels.
Led by Wes Santee, the medley relay team composed of Frank Cindrich, Lloyd Koby, Art Dalzell, and Santee, hope to better their indoor record for that event. This foursome set a new American indoor record for the medley at the Michigan State relays last month, with a time of 9:51.4, and they could add the outdoor record this weekend by running a similar time.
In defending their sprint medley title, the Jayhawks will have Santee anchoring the team with Dick Blair, Ralph Moody, and Cindrich running the first three carries.
The two-mile and four-mile relay teams should not have too much difficulty retaining their crowns. Even without the services of Santee, Easton has such dependable runners as Al Frame, Dick Wilson, Koby, and Dalzell to run in these events. All of these runners are capable of running the half-mile well under two-minutes, and if Easton should decide to put Santee in either, or both events, Texas relay records would be endangered.
Kansas also expects to score in the field events with three shot-put men. Dick Knowles, Gene Blasi, and Bill Nieder; two javelin men, Done Sneegas and Bill Brown, and two high jumpers, Leon Wells and Kermit Hollingsworth.
Santee has been training all week in preparation for his first try on the cinder track this season. After a somewhat disappointing performance in the Bankers mile in the Chicago Daily News meet last weekend, Wes hopes to "find" himself in Texas.
Kansas is well fixed in the high jump with the Big Seven co-champion, Wells, and last year's conference outdoor champion, Hollingsworth. Wells jumped 6 feet 4 inches in tying Phil Whidden of Oklahoma, and Hollingsworth 6 feet 3 inches in tying Phil Heidelk of Nebraska for third and fourth in the conference indoor meet.
All three shot men have thrown over 48 feet this season, and Blasi and Knowles have thrown it over 49 feet. Blasi set a new school record of 49 feet $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches in the Big Seven breakout game. With 49 feet $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches, Knowles set in the first meet of the season. Nieder's best distance is 48 feet 2 inches.
Sneegas and Brown are both cap-
tainment officers in 500 feet
and should place in this event.
Bill Biberstein should also score in the hurdles events for KU. He wont both the high and low hurdles races in the conference indoor meet.
All four Faurut brothers—Don Fred, Jaylyle, and Bob—won football letters at the University of Missouri.
Armand Savoie and Arthur Persley, lightweights, were idle today before their 10-round clash in St. Louis tonight.

Olson Nervous On Eve of Title Fight
Chicago-(U.P.)—Carl (Bobo) Olson had the jumping jitters and Kid Gavilain had a strange repression of the right hand today on the eve of their classic battle of champions at Chicago stadium.
Hawaiian - born Olson of San Francisco had found sanctuary in an apartment hideout on the suburban
north shore after fuming, "I'm ready to blow my top." No longer could the tempermental 160-pound boss withstand the waves of reporters, photographers, autograph seekers, and telephoners at the Parkway hotel.
But everyone concerned was confident both fine boxers would show up "razor-sharp" tomorrow night for the fight-of-the-year, in which welterweight champion Gavilan would try to wrest the middleweight crown from Olson.
Gavilan of Cuba and his handlers were still trying to explain what was probably the strangest wind-up boxing session in ring history. They were trying to convince the suspicious that the 147-pound champion actually was not suffering from an injured right hand.
The workout required an explanation because Gavilan *putually* threw but one solid right during four rounds of sparring with Junius Washington and Andy Figaro at the Midwest gymnasium late yesterday.
He belabored his sparmates with left jabs and left hooks but held the right fist throughout in guarding position.
Several conscientious reporters examined the right mitt after the workout and found no trace of swelling.
Most asteroids have a period of revolution between $3\frac{1}{2}$ and 6 years.
