2-Man Race Expected in High Jump
Another two-man war will spotlight the high jump at the Kansas Relays Saturday.
The contestants this time are Arnold Betton, Drake's returning Olympic teammer and defending Relays' champion, and Chuck Holding, the tall East Texas State kangaroo who annexed his second successive Texas relays' title last month at Austin.
Betton owns the best 1953 height of the two, to date, at 6 foot 84" inches, a loft he used to tie world record-
holder Ken Wiesner for first in the Boston Knights of Columbus games. He also owns a mark of 6-7¾ with which he erected a new CCC record at South Bend. He tied for first at the Michigan State Relays at 6-3¾, and got a fourth at the Millrose Games at 6-4. He was seventh at Helsinki last summer at 6-4½
Betton tied Texas A&M's Olympic champion, Buddy Davis, for the title here last year at 6-74%, while Holding, who had tied the Texas Relays' record of 6-9 only two weeks previously, slid into a fourth-place tie at 6-4/2.
He won at Texas last month with a leap of 6-6, and has matched that
height in one other meet this spring.
He cleared 6-7 to win the College division of the Southwest Recreational and 6-7 $\frac{1}{4}$ for the Border Olympic crown at Loredo. Thus, his low and the season varies only 1$\frac{1}{4}$ inches.
If both these competitors approach their all time tops, at least one of them will fracture Bob Walters' existing Relays record of 6-8 3/16, which the Texas leaper managed in 1949 to capture the meet's "Most Outstanding Athlete" award.

The field behind this duo is a credible one, including Les Vanover, ACC; Broz Whiddn, Oklahoma; Buzz Frasier, Kansas; Bo Billings, Texas, and Jerry Whatley, Hardin-Simmons.
Vanover went 6-6 to cop second behind Holding at the Fat Stock Show. He and Whatley tied for the runner-up slot behind the NAIA champion at Worcester with two leaps of 6-1/2. With 6-1/2, Texas Relays at 6-3 7/8. He also cleared 6-4½ at last week's North Texas Relays to subdue Whidson.
Billings won the University division of the West Texas Games at 6-4. Fraser the Baskerville's Phil Heidekle for the Seahawks' baseball championship last month at 6-3.
Roscoe Vroonman, of Oklahoma A & M, who tied Holding for fourth here last year, has been held below par by an injury.

The All Student Council publications board also selected Dave Wilson, college freshman from Burlington, as business manager of the publication. The two will handle the Date Book as well as the K-Book, both of which will be distributed next September.
Young Republicans Stymied
Members of the Young Republicans club are in a communal dither.
They met last night to select delegates for the State Young Republicans' convention to be held in Manhattan April 25. The 35 members present elected 35 delegates by unanimous vote.
Before the election was over however, one member (possibly a Democrat in disguise) pointed out that according to the club's constitution, a quorum of one-fourth of the total membership is necessary to elect convention delegates.
Republican jaws dropped. Since there are 640 registered members, 160 members must be present at next Tuesday night's meeting in Green
hall before the selection of delegates is official.
Each Young Republican is growing old wondering where he can rustle up five other less enthusiastic members.
