Records Face Danger In Relays Competition
Many records are expected to fall during the two-day Kansas Relays starting tomorrow. $ \textcircled{*} $
Defending champions are expected to have it rough. For example Oklahoma's mile relay team is slated for tough competition in their bid for a third straight triumph from Iowa's Hawkeyes, who this year have swept three major indoor championships.
Thane Baker, Olympic star. is expected to make Kansas State another threat in the mile relay.
Veteran Coach To Referee Meet
Tom Botts, moulder of six Big Seven championship track squads at Missouri, will be referee of the Kansas Relays tomorrow and Saturday.
Botts follows a Big Seven coaching rival, Nebraska's Ed Weir, as overseer of the 28th Jayhawkwer Heir held the post last spring.
Now in his ninth season at MU the 48-year-old Tiger headman is one of the Midlands' winningest cinder tutors. He guided the Bengals to six titles in the period 1954 through 1951, thus giving him a record of six of a possible ten indoor and outdoor flags.
He is in his ninth season at Columbia as head coach. He he joined the Tiger staff in 1941 as assistant coach, became acting head coach in '44, and was officially named head coach in '46.
Botts earned the post by coming up through the high school and junior college ranks. His first job was at Ruskin high, Hickman Mills, Mo., from 1928 through 1930. In 1923 he moved to Fort Scott Junior college where he seated a 10-year term. He was in 1927 Westminster college, Fulton, Mo. He earned his masters degree in American history at Kansas in 1931-32.
As a collegiate hurdler, Botts was a two-time NCAA champion in both sets of hurdles. Although he is known as a thorough all-events tutor, he has had greatest success developing ton-flight hurdlers.
Best-known of these are Bud Gartiser, Big Seven 120-yard outdoor high hurdle and indoor 60-yard low hurdle record-holder; Bob Blakeley, 1947 indoor high hurdle champion; Floyd Gauttine, two-time outdoor high timber king, and Dick Ault, a four-time outdoor 220-yard low barrier champion and 1948 Olympic teammer.
President to Open Delayed Game
Washington — (U.P.) — President Eisenhower, the well-known golfer, belatedly turns pitcher today—well permitting.
The reluctant right-hander is scheduled to throw out the ceremonial "first" ball just before 1 p.m. CST in the delayed baseball opener here between the New York Yankees and the Washington Senators, to be nationally-televised over ABC.
An early morning rain stopped about 5 a.m. CST, and the sun was shining brightly an hour later. The weatherman said it would be cloudy and windy for the game.

Meanwhile, Kansas seems destined to continue its domination of the four-mile and sprint medley races Saturday.
Bill Easton's four-mile team is confident they can easily break their own Kansas Relay record of 17:18.3, set last year, and believe they can lower the mark to 17:08, which would be a new NCAA record.
WOLFSON'S 743 Mass.
Kansas State planned to enter three relay races and ten individual events in the Relays.
Thane Baker, K-State's senior star, will be out for his third consecutive victory in the Relays open 100-yard dash. He will anchor all K-State relay teams.
Jayhawks to Seek Sprint Medley Record In 28th Annual Kansas Relays Saturday
With the host Jayhawkers sighting another sprint melded world record, the 28th Kansas Relays will begin Saturday with 770 athletes from 61 schools going to the post in the 27-event program.
Winners of four baton titles at the recent Texas Relays, Bill Easton's team hopes to erase all doubt of its claim to a new world medley mark. With Wes Santee anchoring a 1:49.7 half, the Kansans hit 3:21.8 at Austin to lo ninetenths of a second off the listed world and intercollegiate mark held by NYU since 1950.
However, protests for acceptance were lodged against this time because of alleged mis-staggering of the first 200 vards. Hence, Easton's unit of Don Smith, Frank Cindrich, Dick McGlinn, and Santee have prepared for another blazing effort that should at least topple the existing Relays' standard of 3:24.3, now

The Jayhawkers expect pressure in the medley from Oklahoma, Oklahoma A&M, which ran third at Texas, Iowa, and Kansas State, the Texas Relays runner-up. Such an alignment could bring together Santee, Billy Heard, Cowpoke Missouri Valley 880 king, the Scorpions Ted Wheeler, Iowa middle-distance ace, and Dick Towers, K-State's twotime Big Seven indoor 880 runner-up.
Oklahoma, Oklahoma A&M, and
Iowa could seriously challenge Kansas' dominance of the distance medley race. The Jayhawks are certain to shoot for the four-mile before their bid in the sprint medley, which means that Santee will be called upon for his third anchor carry in the distance haul late in the day.
IM Entry Deadline Friddy
The deadline for all spring intramural entries is 4 p.m. tomorrow, Walt Mikols, director of intramural athletics, said today. Competition in softball will begin Tuesday in both A and B divisions.
