One thing that might have given the Jayhawkers more incentive at the track meet in Ames was the track vs. field duel that assistant coach Phil Krutzch dreamed up. The field men challenged the runners to a point duel, pitting their six events against the 100, 220, 440, 880, high hurdles, and two-mile, with the losers to give their desserts to the winners at the post-meet meal. The field boys came through to win 57 7/20 to 54. Haven't heard if they got the desserts.
There was a bit of a hassle in the javelin finals. The competitors had already made several heaves when the Iowa State band marched across the field and knocked over some of the markers. Jim Swim's peg, the farthest at that point, was kicked about by the marchers, and officials couldn't find the spit where it had originally been, so chief javelin judge R. W. Lamson disqualified the throw. Swim's ruled-out hurt didn't seem to equal his Friday toss, however, so he wasn't hurt.
10 minutes after the one mile run.
The quarter times on Santee's record mile run were 60, 64, 63, and 59.3. Of his slowing down at the end of his record 880, Wes said, "I was only trying to win since I got the record yesterday, but if I'd known I was that close (only one second off the collegiate record) I would have tried to beat it." The first lap of his half was done in 54 seconds.
Wonder if there isn't some way to speed up the pole vault. Always the last event to finish, it dragged on Saturday for an hour and 15 minutes after the one mile relay was over.
for the third consecutive time. Golfer Harlan Hise, who turned in the best score among KU's five, might have chopped off a few strokes if he hadn't injured his hand. He was sitting in the hotel Friday night trying to loosen the mud on his golf shoes with a razor blade when it slipped and sliced up his hand.
Congratulations to Wes for being named the most valuable athlete of the meet, and to K-Stater Thane Baker for winning both dashes for the third consecutive time.
Thursday evening Coach Easton, sports publicity director Don Pierce, and Santee appeared on a sports show on WOI-TV in Ames . . . The entire meet was timed with eight of the same $500 Longines-Wittauer stop watches that were used in the 1952 Olympics. Managed to get a glimpse of one—they're about twice as big as the regular stop watches used . . . Tennis Coach Dick Mechem tried to combat the bright sun by wearing a sporty white golfers hat, but at the Big Seven coaches and press banquet Friday night, he looked as if he'd been asleep under a sun lamp.
Unofficially, it looks as if Oklahoma has won the league all-sports trophy again. In the ten-sports competition, OU has scored $19\frac{1}{2}$ points. . . Don Smith's triumphs must have been particularly sweet to him, since it makes the first time he has been able to crack the jinx and win a first at the conference meet.
jinx and win a first at the conference meet
Missouri tennis coach Dick Levee said that Win Wilfong, sophomore Tiger cager, quit school two weeks after the basketball season to enter the Navy. One less Big Seven star to hurt us next year . . .
The ground crew at Ames did a remarkable job of putting the track into good shape after it had rained three nights before the meet . . .
Iowa State's Virg Byerly probably felt like going off in some dark room after his "lap" on the mile relay. He was running in fifth place in the backstretch when he dropped the baton to put his team out of the race.
Something new was added—little red flags stuck in the track to keep the runners in the right lanes on certain races. . . Note to professors: we saw some of the Kansas athletes studying in their spare time. . . Santee uses different shoes for the 880 and the mile. For the shorter race he wears German-made shoes which provide more support for his feet, and for the longer runs he wears Japanese-made shoes, which are lighter. . . Quote from Easton after the meet was over, "I'm real pleased."

Delts, SAE Win In IM Finals
Delta Tau Delta won the intramural horseshoes championship last week, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon "A" capped the badminton title.
The Delts squeaked by Beta Theta Pi to win, 2-1. Bob Hettinger won the initial singles match, but the doubles team of Terry Jaquith and Gerald Kerr was downed. Mike McGuire brought the victory to the Delts in a close singles match triumph.
In an all Sig Alph final, the defending champions won for the second straight year. The "A" team defeated the "B" team 3-0. Singles winners were Bob Meier and Don Humphreys, and doubles victors were Hank Gerling and Dick Cameron. Humphreys is the only new man on the championship team.
Swinging savagely against lefty ace Curt Simmons and four successors, the Brooks poured out 12 runs in the eighth inning to set two new major league marks and tie a third in a 16-2 humiliation of the Phillies yesterday.
The battling Brooks scored all of their 12 runs before an out was made to top a previous major league mark of 11 set by Detroit against the Yankees in 1925. and both FeeWee Reese and Carl Furillo hit bases-loaded triples to set another mark. The use of five pitchers by the Phils in one inning tied a third record.
The rally recalled the famed seventh inning of the 1929 World series at Philadelphia when the Athletics, trailing 8-0, poured over 10 runs against the Cubs to win the game. And it also recalled a night by the Phillies on June 2, 1949, when they scored 10 runs in the eighth inning to defeat Cincinnati 12-3.
Bums Score 12 in 8th Wallop Phillies, 16-2
New York—(U.P.)-The most memorable big inning in Philadelphia since the 1929 World Series put the Dodgers back into a pennant mood today.
Junior Gilliam and Duke Snider each hit two doubles for Brooklyn and Billy Cox got four singles as reliever Johnny Podres gained his first big league game. There was one oddity—despite the heavy hitting it marked the first game this year in which neither the Dodgers nor their opponents hit a homer.
Brooklyn batted for 44 minutes,
sending up 16 men. There were
seven hits and six walks in the
spree.
The Giants kept up their fast pace with an 11-3 victory over the Pirates while league - leading Milwaukee topped the Cubs 5-4, then lost, 5-2. The Cards topped the Reds, 2-0, behind five-hit pitching of Gerry Staley. In the American League, the Yankees breezed to an 8-4 victory over the Red Sox while the Indians twice defeated the Brown's, 5-1 and 9-8, to move into second place, $3\frac{1}{2}$ games behind the New Yorkers. Washington beat the Athletics, 6-3, and Chicago defeated Detroit, 3-1.
Bobby Thomson and Alvin Dark each drove in three runs, Thomson connecting for his seventh homer, in New York's 16-hit demonstration at Pittsburgh. Dark, Monte Irvin, and Whitey Lockman each made three hits as Larry Jansen, with relief
help from Hoy Wilhelm, won his fourth game.
Milwaukee scored five runs in the second inning but got only one hit as two errors and two walks were parlayed into the winning rally in the opener. Vern Bickford gained his first victory in a relief role. Roy Smallly homered for Chicago. In the second game, the Cubs also cashed in on a big inning, scoring three runs in the first then coasting to a 10-hit victory for Johnny Klippstein.
Staley gained his sixth straight victory after an opening day defeat but had to be good because loser Joe Nuxhall yielded only four hits. The Cards picked up the run they needed to win in the second when Del Rice singled and Rip Repulski doubled him home.
Johnny Sain was the big wheel at Yankee Stadium, pitching a steady eight-hitter for his fourth victory and driving home four runs with a bases-loaded double and a long fly. Gene Stephens hit his first big league homer for the Red Sox.
Cleveland made its seven victories in a row for the season over St. Louis with its sweep. In the opening, Early Wynn pitched four-hit ball for his fifth win and Al Rosen hit a three-run homer. The Indians rebounded from a 5-1 deficit to win the second game with a grand slam homer by Ray Boone which tied the score and subsequent rallies that offset a three-run ninth inning spree by the Browns.
Bob Keegan pitched two-hit relief ball for six innings and Chicago put over two runs in the ninth on a walk to Ferris Fain, a sacrifice by Minnie Minoso, a double by Sam Mele, and a single by Jim Rivera at Detroit.
Washington gained a steady nine-hit pitching production by Connie Marrero, who picked up his third straight victory, while Jackie Jensen drove in two runs with a triple. Mickey Vernon extended his batting streak to 18 games with a single and double, also batting in two runs.
Babe Ruth blanked the Chicago Cubs 1-0 in a World Series game in 1918. He was playing for the Boston Red Sox.
