Page 4 University Daily Kansan Thursday, March 26. 19532 KU Thinclads Head For Texas Relays An 11-man Jayhawker track squad, headed by distance ace Wes Santee, left today for the first big track event of the year, the Texas Relavs. Kansas is given a good chance of winning three baton championships, the distance medley, sprint medley, and four-mile. In addition, they probably will run the two-mile also. KU is the defending champion in the two distance events. Kansas hasn't collected an individual gold medal at Texas since Bob Crowley, a native son from Longview, won the broad jump in 1947. It hasn't crowned a pole vault champ at the Austin games since the late Bill Bevan tied for the title in 1941. Norm Steanson, the resolute junior vaulter, may end this drouth Saturday in the 26th renewal of the Longhorn spiked-shoe class. Certainly on the basis of early season performances he has a chance. There is no doubt of his consistency. The kid who came back to win a league championship after breaking a leg a year ago, also owns indoor marks of 13½, and 134½. Only once in four meets has he dipped below 13-0. Four other Jayhawkers will seek individual titles in the largest special event contingent entered at Texas since 1948. These include Dick McGlinn, sophomore sprinter; Morris Kay in the discus; lacunin thrower Jim Swim, and Bill Biberstein, in the 120-yard high hurdles. McGinnn has shed the cast on an elbow he fractured in the preliminaries of the Big Seven indoor 60. He qualified in that event, but could not run in the finals because of the injury. Biberstein was runner-up for the conference 60-yard indoor high timber title behind Nebraska's Dan Tolman. He already has dipped below 15.0 in workouts. Kay, of course, has not been in play since last season and will mark KU's first outdoor start of the season. Swim was runner-up for the 1952 Big Seven spee The distance and sprint medley are slated for Friday. Don Smith, Art Dalzell, and Lloyd Koby will run ahead of Santee in the distance jaunt, and Smith, McGlinn, and Frank Cindrich will precede Santee in the sprint medley. Geoloaist to Attend Meet In the four-mile race Saturday, Dick Wilson, Koby, and Dalzell will carry ahead of Santee. Holly Wagner, geologist in the State Geological survey, will attend a meeting of the division supervisors of the mineral fuels branch of the U.S. Geological survey in Denver March 31. Philly Manager Feels Konstanty Is Coming Back Konstanty? Surely you haven't forgotten the rubber-armed relief pitching star of 1950. Most valuable player in the National league. Hero in a losing cause of the 1950 world series. Perhaps a greater relief pitcher than Hugh Casey, Joe Page, or Johnny Murphy. You can quote your own odds against this one but Manager Steve O'Neill of the Phillies believes the "comeback story" of 1953 is being written by Jim Konstanty. By UNITED PRESS True, few have fallen farther from the heights than did Konstanty in 1951 and 1952, but today the bespectacled former school teacher is beating his way back toward the top with one of the finest records of any big league pitcher in the Grapefruit league. Right now he is kicked to step into the departed Russ Meyer's slot as the Phillies' fourth starting pitcher.

St. Phone Konstanty's bid for a comeback reached a spectacular peak yesterday when he pitched a 7-hitter over the 9-inning route to beat the Tigers, 7-0. He is only the third big league pitcher to go nine this spring-Johnny Lindell of the Pitrates and Carl Erskine of the Dodgers being the others. Outstanding pitching was the talk of the Dodgers' camp, too, following a 1-0 victory over the Braves which extended Brooklyn pitchers' string of consecutive scoreless innings to 30. Rookie Bob Milliken and relief ace Joe Black combined in the latest shutout. Milliken has not nurrendered a run in 12 innings but he been clipped for six in 15 frames and pitches have permitted a total of six runs in their last seven contests Stan Musial, rounding into top form, hammered his fourth homer of the spring and Rip Repulski, who has virtually clinched a regular outfield berth with his solid batting, hit a 3-run triple as the Cardinals downed the Yankees, 7-1. Bob Porterfield, prepping for an opening day assignment before President Eisenhower, pitched seven scoreless innings and Julio Moreno added three more to give the Senators a 4-0, 10-inning triumph over the Red Sox. K-State Sends Nine To Texas Relays Manhattan — (U.P.) — Nine Kansas State college track and field men, headed by sprint star Thane Baker, were enroute today for Austin, Texas, and the Texas Relays this weekend. Baker, the Big Seven conference sprint champion, was a favorite in the 100-yard competition, although he was expected to meet a tough foe in Charley Thomas of Texas. Baker will run as a member of four Wildcat Relay teams in addition to competing in the open century. Stanky Sees Good Season With Plugging of Two Holes This is the second in a series on the 1953 prospects of the major league clubs. St. Petersburg, Fla.—(U.P.)-Eddie Stanky is "optimistic" over the chances of his St. Louis Cardinals this season for he believes he has solved his first and third base problems. Last season, his first at the helm of a major league club, Stanky started out with "two established pitchers—Gerry Staley and Cliff Chambers." Now he thinks he has missed making a great pitching team in the business. Eddie Yuhas (12-2) and Al Brazle (12-5). Stanky admits that Enos Slaughter will have to have another good year and isn't worried about his age. Slaughter will be 37 on April 27, but last season was one of the best If big Steve Bilko finally makes the grade at first base and either of two rookies, Ray Jablonski or Vern Benson, can win the third base spot, Stanky feels his problems will be over. "I've got the pitching," he pre- died. "I'll well come up with with enough power." "After all, I want to play Stan Musial in the outfield for 154 games and in order to do that either Bilko or Dick Sisler will have to make good at first. I'm sure one of them will and that will add a lot of strength to the club for it is best with Stan in the outfield." n his long, brilliant career. Musial will be in center with Slaughter in right. Larry Miggins, Hal Rice, or Peanuts Lowery will get the left field spot. Solly Hemus probably will open at short if rookie Wally Lammers doesn't win the job. THE BUS (Adv.) STUDENTS!
