Sprint, 4-Mile Marks Stand Chance to Fall
Only two records are good bets to topple here Saturday when Midwest and Southwest track and field squads unravel the 28th Kansas Relays. The tandem includes two University-class relays—the sprint medley and 4-mile. $ \cdot $
And the host Jayhawkers will be the central figures in both of them. Although there always is considerable shuffling of personnel since the Mt. Oread show is a one-day meet, Bill Eston's gang is almost certain to shoot at this pair of titles. The Hawkers have a string of four consecutive 4-mile titles going. And they are eager to lodge a second world record application in the medley.
A unit of Don Smith, Frank Cindrich, Dick McGlinn and Wes Sante blazed to a new world mark of 3:21.8 at the Texas Relays two weeks ago. This lopped nine-tenths of a second off NYU's listed world standard of 3:22.7. But the Jayhawks' trek has been challenged on alleged mis-staggering of the No. 3 carry, which forced the first 220 man to run 250 yards, the second 190.
The mark has been filed for recognition, but the Kansans would like to place it above question with another scorching demonstration on their own cinders. The medley will be run out of the chute, which means less curve for the leadoff quarter. A tougher field than the one the Jayhawks beat at Austin is another consideration.
The current Relays mark is 3:24.3 held by Oklahoma's 1950 foursome. With the Sooners and possibly Iowa added to such Texas starters as the Jayhawks, Kansas State and Oklahoma A&M, only bad weather can save this clocking.
Such an entry sheet would match the Jayhawks' torrid Wes Santee against such luminaries as Ted Wheeler, of the Hawkeyes, K-State's Dick Towers; George McCormick, of Oklahoma, and Billy Hardy, A&M sophomore, in the anchoring 880. Coach 1,497. Our carp carry at Austin. Towers was caught in 1:53.6, and the runner-up Wildcats in 3:26.3. A&M run 3:27.2 in its Aggie Preview Relays with Heard anchoring in 1:52.5.
Such leadoff men as Smith; Thane Baker, K-State's Olympic sprinter; Quanah Cox of Oklahoma, and Leroy Ebert, Iowa, would insure a terrific early pace.
Kansas already has run under its
own Relays 4-mile record of 17:18.3,

erected last year, with a stunning 17.14.0 at Texas. The Jayhawks are not likely to be taxed to retain their championship, but already have proved they can run well against the watch. Dick Wilson gave his mates a 50-yard bulge in the opening carry at Texas, and Santee was out 150 yards when he unreeled that unofficial 4:06.6 anchoring mile.

Chrysler Looks Ahead!
A classic in American automotive styling—D'Elegance—a fresh and original prototype two-passenger sports car made its debut at the Auto-Lite Easter Parade of Stars auto show in New York Saturday, April 4. D'Elegance is built on a modified $125\frac{1}{2}$ inch frame to accommodate its 115-inch wheelbase. A black and natural yellow leather interior complements the spring coral exterior. D'Elegance is powered by a standard Chrysler Fire Power V-8 engine.
No decision has been reached to build it for sale at the present time. However, D'Elegance involves no materials that could not be used in volume production.
