Runners Face Tough Competition Saturday
By DANA LEIBENGOOD
Assistant Sports Editor
The Kansas university track team will face its toughest test of the young indoor season Saturday, when it competes in the annual Michigan State Relays at East Lansing, Mich.
Kansas will be represented by 11 men in this meet. They will compete in the distance and sprint relays, high jump, broad jump, and hurdles.
This meet will give a good line or
This meet will give the strength which Kansas has, for they face the toughest competition in the mid-west. All of the Big Ten conference teams will be represented in addition to schools from the Central Collegiate conference. Several eastern schools may also send teams to the meet.
This is the first time. in several years that Coach M. E. "Bill" Easton has sent a team to these relays. He has not entered a team since he came to Kansas as head coach seven years ago. He formerly sent his Drake teams to this event every year.
Kansas easily won its first meet of the season as they scored 58.2 points to top a second place Kansas State by 17 points in the triangular meet held at Kansas State two weeks ago. Oklahoma finished last in the meet with a total of 29 points.
Kansas took first place in six events. They won top honors in the mile, high jump, shot put, 60-yard high hurdles, two mile, and the half mile.
Wes Santee, KU distance ace, see
two new fieldhouse records in this track meet. He won the mile with a time of 4:09, and he won the half mile with a record time of 1:543.
Kansas got maximum mileage out of its distance men in this meet, as they took the first three places in the 880, mile and two mile. The 30 points which they piled up, gave KU a lead which Kansas State and Oklahoma could not overcome.
In order to score a respectable number of points in this meet, KU will have to get outstanding performances from the relay teams, and from Kermit Hollingsworth, Dick Knowles, and Bob Smith. Knowles easily took first place in the shot put at Manhattan with a throw of 49-1/2. Hollingsworth tied with Erwin Cook of Oklahoma for first place in the high jump with a leap of 6-1/2. Smith didn't compete in the meet.
Dave Philly returned his third unsigned contract to the Philadelphia Athletics. The Philadelphia Phillies are also having contract troubles as Jim Konstanty returned his secondunsigned contract.
Bevo Wipes Out All-Time Season Scoring Record
New York —(U.P.)—The fabulous Bevo Francis and the Idaho State basketball team each landed an important prize today—Bevo getting a new all-time season scoring record and Idaho State getting the first berth in the NCAA tournament.
Francis and his nifty push-shot accounted for 59 points last night to lead little Rio Grande college to a 101-85 victory over Anderson college, and that gave Bevo a total of 988 points for the season to smash the record of 970 set in 1952 by Johnny O'Brien of Seattle.
Meanwhile, Idaho State became the first team to clinch a spot in the NCAA post-season title tourney as it clinched the Rocky Mountain conference championship with a 71-54 victory over Colorado State.
The league title, second in a row for the Bengals, qualifies them to meet an NCAA "member at large," yet to be selected, in a first-round playoff, March 8 or 9. Last night's victory, paced by Jerry Belkow's 20 points, was the 18th straight for the Bengals since they lost their first two games of the season.
Although the pint-sized O'Brien, now serving in the Army, was stripped of his all-college season record he retains his major-college record of 884 points for a season, set last year when Seattle moved from "small" to "major" ranking. Bevo's total will be counted only in the small-college category.
Notre Dame and Holy Cross, two independent powers currently tied for the No. 8 ranking nationally, each came through with an important win. The Irish rallied from a four-point deficit at the start of the fourth period to beat Michigan State, 74-71, for their 13th win in 15 games as Dick Rosenthal showed the way with 24 points. Holy Cross, held to a two-point margin at half-time, ran its record to 17-1 by bouncing Springfield, Mass., college, 92-68, as Ron Perry paced the attack with 25 points.
George Washington university took charge of the Southern conference race last night with a 102-97 victory over Furman at Greenville, S.C. Both teams had come up to the game unbeaten in league competition.
In other leading games last night: Duke moved within one win of pacemaking Maryland in the Atlantic Coast conference by beating North Carolina State, 90-89, on Don Tobin's push shot with five seconds to go; Rice put itself in position to challenge Texas for the Southwest conference lead Saturday night by beating Texas A&M, 61-47, pulling away with 10 points in the last 4% minutes; Wichita ran its record to 21-3 by trouncing Drake, 89-60, as Cleo Littleton hit 25 points; Wake Forest stayed in contention for the Atlantic Coast title by beating Clemson, 98-57, as Dick Hemric scored 28.

ATO and Lambda Chi Win In Yesterday's IM Games
ATO held off a desperate second half scoring surge by Lambda Chi to eke out a 60-59 overtime win in one of the two Fraternity "A" Division IV games played yesterday. Delta Chi had a close call, but managed to defeat Phi Psi by a fairly comfortable 7-point margin, 44-37.
ATQ 60. Lambda Chi 59
ATO jumped to an early 23-12 lead at halftime, and it appeared as if the game might turn into a rout. However, Lambda Chi came roaring back in the second half to tie the ball game up and send it into an overtime period.
The second half scoring surge was led by Dick Walt, who tied with Dick Blowey, ATO, for game scoring honors with 19 points. Walt got able scoring assistance from teammates John Paulding and Larry Bowman. Paulding scored 11 points, and Bowman nine for the losers.
Bob Comn was the other big scoring gun for ATO as he scored 17 points. The win left ATO deadlocked with Delta Chi at the top of Division IV. Both teams have won four games and lost one.
Delta Chi 44, Phi Psi 37 Delta Chi handed Phi Psi its second defeat of the year to break a three way tie for first place in Division IV. Before yesterday's games,
Phi Psi, Delta Chi, and ATO had identical records of three victories and one defeat. The loss dropped Phi Psi into third place with a final record of three victories and two defeats.
Like ATO, Delta Chi had a comfortable halftime lead, 25-15. However, Delta Chi did a much better job of protecting its lead as it led all the way to post the triumph.
Forrest Hoglund was the high point man for Delta Chi, and the games leading scorer, with 16 points. Earl Knauss gave him able support, as he scored 14.
