36 Place Winners Back To Head Big 7 Meet
Thirty-six place winners from last year's Big Seven indoor track meet will return to compete for top honors in this year's carnival Friday and Saturday nights in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
Of this field of 39, however, only three individual champions will be back to defend their crowns. They are Veryl Switzer, versatile Kansas State footballer, who will attempt a repeat in the broad jump, and two members of last summer's Olympic team, Wes Santee from Kansas, and Kansas State's Thane Baker.
Of this trio, Switzer figures to have the toughest assignment in retaining his crown. Last year he posted the best leap in the meet at 23 feet 5% inches to defeat a group of five 23-footers.
This year all five of these contenders, who provided one of the tightest events in meet history, are back for another shot at the crown. They are Ron Johnson, Colorado; Irv Thode and Glenn Beerline, Nebraska, and Neville Price and Quanar Cox, Oklahoma.
Switzer's best leap to date this season is 23 feet 9 inches, which bugged the Michigan State relays championship for him earlier this month. However, Switzer was defeated by Nebraska's Beerline in dual meet competition 23 feet $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches to 23 feet 1 1-4 inches.
Baker and Santee look to have things pretty much to themselves in their title defenses.
Baker has already equated the world indoor record in the 60-yard dash this season at :061. Colorado footballer Ron Gray and Don Hess, Kansas sophomore, will be out to give Baker a run for his money, but he could really fail if they expect to beat the Wildcat flash in his specialty.
The record in the 440 will also be in jeopardy if Baker hits top form Saturday night. He has been clocked under .480 in relay carries this season, and can be expected to be thrown out by milers as Oklahoma's Cox and McCormick, and John Riederer and Don Smith from Kansas.
The way things look at the present, the Ashland cowpoke, Wes Santee, will be able to set his own pace when he defends his mile title. Santee has run under the Big Seven three of his dual-meet outings this son. His best time to date is 4:12.5 against Kansas State.
Santee can also be expected to crack the record in the 880, a feat he has accomplished twice already this season. However, if he fails to keep the pace in this event, which follows the mile, his teammate Art Dalzell, defending outdoor 880 champ, is also capable of establishing a new mark.
Porter Fears Draft Call
Lakeland, Fla. — (U)P — J. W. Porter, 20-year-old catcher, has missed the Tigers' first spring workouts and Detroit officials feared today that he may have been paying a call to his draft board.
KU Rated 5th In AP Poll
The Kansas Jayhawkers are ranked fifth in the latest Associated Press writers' basketball poll.
The ranking, the highest the Kansans have reached this season, equals that of the United Press coaches' poll announced earlier this week. Both polls took in consideration games through last Saturday, which included Kansas' 80-78 win over Kansas State. The Jayhawkers' 58-79 loss to Oklahoma A&M Monday was not considered.
Kansas State continued its gradual slide down the rating ladder, falling to ninth position.
Seton Hall led the AP choices again this week, but the undefeated Pirates from South Orange, N.J., are being pressed by Indiana, leader in the UP poll. Seton Hall, with a 26-0 record, leads the Hoosiers by just 12 points.

Phi Delts Take IM'A'Crown In 55-37 Win
The Phi Delts won the Hill intramural basketball championship in Division "A" last night, scoring a 55-37 victory over Hodder Annex, winners of the Independent "A" eliminations.
Delta Upsilon, winners of the Fraternity "B" division, topped Gamma Delta, 36-19, for the "B" Hill title, and the Phil Dhi defeated Phi Psi, 36-27, in the Fraternity "C" title in other games.
Tonight at 6:15 in Robinson annex the Phi Delt "C" team will play the AFROTC "C" team for the Hill crown in that division.
The Phi Delts used a torrid first half to roll up a 32-17 internession lead over Hodder annex in taking the "A" title. The same club ended the Betas' domination of the Fraternity "A" division Monday with a 48-43 triumph.
Hodder annex rallied in the second half and nearly kept even with the champions, but couldn't come close to shortening the gap. Bob Allison was the high scorer for Phi Delt with 18 points.
George Michale and Merle Hodges led the DUs to the division "B" title with 12 and 11 points respectively. The DUs jumped to a quick lead and never let Gamma Delta get into the game.
Doug Scheideman scored 11 points in leading the Phi Delts to the 36-27 win over Phi Psi. Scheideman has been leading the Phi Delt "C" team of late and is expected to be the big punch in the game with AFROTC tonight.
Frosh Beat Wildcats For 2nd Straight Win
The Jayhawkers' freshman track squad won its second outing of the season Saturday as they defeated Kansas State 68 $ \frac{1}{2} $ to 35 $ \frac{1}{2} $ in a telegraphic meet.
The Kansas Frosh took eight firsts and swept three events as they continued to live up to Coach M. E. "Bill" Easton's pre-season billing.
Allen Frame, promising young Wichita distance man, turned in one of the best performances of the meet as he ran the mile in 4:27, and then paced off the two-mile in 9:4.9.
Kansas State's Belt gave indication of being a strong contender for conference honors in years to come as he won both the high and low hurdles in .07:8 and .07:1.
The freshmen continued to show a lot of depth in the field events as they swept the shot put and broad jump, and took two of the three places in both the high jump and pole vault.
Bill Nieder won the shot with a 48 foot $10 \frac{1}{2}$ inch toss, followed by teammates Gene Blasi and Leo Heilman at 46 feet $5 \frac{1}{2}$ inches, and 44 feet 1 inch.

Dodger Head Orders Return of Horseplay To Make Brooklyn Rooters Happy Again
New York — (U.P.)— The Brooklyn Dodgers are under orders today to get back into character.
The team which became a national institution because of its daffiness and weird escapades has, in the last couple of years, gone sober really hard. The fact they insist they must quit playing it straight and back to the spangles.
"This is Brooklyn," grunts O'Malley. "For years that's what our fans have come to see and expect. So let it be known, we want characters."
The Dodger boss issued his blast when he first heard that catcher Roy Campanella had been ordered to shave off his sensational moustache and that pitcher Russ Meyer, recently obtained from the Phillies, had promised to keep his volatile temper in check . . .
Dodger fans through the years have come to expect more than winning baseball from their heroes, O'Malley said.
The Brooklyn president left no doubt that he would rather have a screwball in the lineup than one
which would spin over the plate for a strike.
"Let Campanella keep his moustache," O'Malley ordered. "And if Meyer keeps his temper under control I'll cancel the deal which brought him from Philadelphia. We simply must have our characters."
O'Mallev has a point.
Down through the lean years before they were battling for the pennant every season, the Dodgers were everybody's ball club, whether you came from Canarsie, Turkey Trot, or Tia Juana. The answer was that they were human and intriguing. You might have called them an outfit of Dizzy Deans without top flight ability.
They really had 'em, characters that is. Chuckles were their chief stock in trade with such as Babe Herman, Dazzy Vance, Burleigh Grimes, Van Lingle Mungo, Boots Foffenberger, French Bordagay, Leo Durocher and even Casey Stengel, whose lilling line now imports a note of lightness to the stolid,
But they kept people talking and laughing—and looking.
machine-like Yankees.
Herman was one of their best, and their most idolized. For it was the Babe who patented the idea that three base runners could occupy one bag; was called out while standing on second base because "I was tapping my foot and got caught between taps;" and kept the baseball fans in torn stitches with his fractured vocabulary.
