Although Kansas' distance relay teams—the distance medley and four-mile crews—are probably in the best position to set new marks in the forthcoming Kansas Relays, April 19, an individual performer—Darrow Hooper of Texas A&M—is going to be watched by a number of Kansas Relays fans.
The husky Aggie was the only double winner at the Texas Relays last weekend. He won the discus throw with a heave of 157 feet, 8 inches and captured the shot put with a record-breaking push of 54 feet, $ \frac{7}{4} $ inches.
That mark eclipsed his own record of 53 feet, 1 inch which he set last year.
Hooper also was a double winner in last year's Kansas Relays. He won the discus throw and came back with a 51-foot, $8\frac{1}{2}$-inch shot distance.
DARROW HOOPER Texas A&M
He's much expected to turn the trick again this year. The nearest men to him in Austin were Jim Robertson of Iowa State with a 146-foot, $11\frac{1}{4}$-inch effort in the discus and teammate Robert Pratt with a 49-foot, $3\frac{1}{4}$-inch shot put throw.
The current Kansas Relays records—which seem comparatively safe in spite of Hooper—are 171 feet, $6 \frac{3}{4}$ inches in the discus, set by Archie Harris of Indiana in 1941, and Charlie Fonville's 58-foot, $ \frac{3}{4} $ -inch shot put mark. Fonville of Michigan set the record in 1948.
Charles Holding of East Texas State and Walter Davis of Texas A&M are expected to give Kenny Sterns of Baker university a stiff battle for the high-jump crown.
Sterns won the event last year with a leap of 6 feet, $4\%$ inches. Holding his 6 feet, 9 inches to take
me Texas title and tie the Texas Relays record. He has a jump of 6 feet, 9/4 inches. Davis, who holds the other share of the mark, was second down Austin day. Davis hit 6 feet, 8 inches.
Also in the running will be Drake's Arnold Betton, who posted a 6-foot, $9\frac{1}{4}$-inch mark in the Ozark AAU meet last summer in St. Louis.
Any one of the four is in position to break the Kansas Relays record of 6 feet, 8 3-16 inches set by Texas' Bob Walters in 1947.
Another potential record-breaker is Oklahoma's Neville Price in the broad jump. Price leaped 25 feet, $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches in Texas. The Kansas Relays record, set by Iowa's Ed Gordon back in 1931, is 25 feet, $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches.
Another mark which probably will fall is the university mile relay record of 3:15.0.
Texas A&M runners already have posted a 3:13.5 showing.
Kansas runners should shatter the 10:09.7 distance medley mark and the 17:34.3 four-mile record. The Kansans already have posted a 10:06.0 distance medley and a 17:08.2 four-mile.

CHICAGO COLLEGE OF OPTOMETRY
(Nationally Accredited)
An outstanding college serving a splendid profession.
Doctor of Optometry degree in three years for students entering with sixty or more semester credits in specified Liberal Arts courses.
It'll be the first chance the 6-foot, 3-inch Lovellette will have to meet one of the nation's three leading collegiate scorers. Meineke ranked third in the final standings behind Lovelette and Duke's Dick Groat.
Comparitively, Meineke is a bit smaller than Lovelette. The Dayton ace stands 6 feet, 7 inches and weighs 205 pounds. Lovelette tips the scales at 240 pounds.
Lovellette, playing for Phog Allen's "Westerners," will face Don Meineke of Dayton university, playing for Hank Iba's East team.
The big question posed by basketball fans today was, "How williba's three pivot men stack up against sensational Lovelette?"
Besides Meineke, Iba will use Syracuse's 6-foot, 8-inch Ed Miller and Tom Katsimalis of Eastern Illinois or Pete Darcey of his own Oklahoma A&M Cowpokes.
FALL REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
Students are granted professional recognition by the U.S. Department of Defense and Selective Service.
Excellent clinical facilities.
Athletic and recreational activities.
Dormitories on the campus.
Katsimpalis stands 6 feet, 2 inches tall. Darcey ranges in at the same height as Lovelletta.
All-American Clyde Lovelette, by now accustomed to running up against players who will supposedly give him a real test in the scoring department, may finally run up against a man who can do it Saturday night in the East-West Shrine game in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
Ham Lynch, Kansas medalist with a 74 in Tuesday's match, Bob Dare and Harlan Hise scored perfect 3-0 victories over their opponents Tues-
Lovellette-Meineke Clash Scheduled For East-West Shrine Game Saturday
CHICAGO COLLEGE OR OPTOMETRY
1845-H Larabreae Street
Chicago 14, Illinois
The Jayhawkier linkmen came within $ \frac{1}{2} $ point of blanking the ichabod golfers in a match here Tuesday, 17 $ \frac{1}{2} $ to $ \frac{1}{2} $ . Bill Barter salvaged the only score for Washburn, losing to Bob Lacy, $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ to $ \frac{1}{2} $ .
Another puzzler is how will the methodical Iba, who trains his Aggies with a slow, defensive-type ball, will handle the group of Eastern players whose specialty is a run-and-shoot type ball.
Golf Team Plays Washburn Friday
Kansas' two foursomes of Lacy and Lynch and Dare and Hise also blanked Washburn's foursomes.
Clyde Lovelle ranks fifth nationally in total number of points scored. He has scored 1,983 points in 80 games.
Included on the Eastern roster are
Bill Winey's Kansas golfers play a return match with Washburn at the Topeka Country club tomorrow. Starting time is 1 p.m.
John Dilling of Holy Cross, Joe Deun of Louisiana State, Ray Steiner of St. Louis university, Bob Marson of Kentucky and Ron MaeGilray of St. John's, besides Iba's own Don Johnson and Darcey, and Miller and Katsimipals.
Allen has a rangy group of charges, none of which stands under the 6-foot mark. Jim Buchanan of Nebraska is the lone 6-footer.

Two other Kansans besides Lovelllette are on the West team: Bob Kenney, the nation's free throw champion, and Bill Hougland, 6-foot, 4-inch senior.
Rounding out the Western team are Dick Hagg of Wyoming, Jim Ramstead of Stanford, Bill Stauffer of Missouri, Jerry Romney of Brigham Young, George McLeod of Texas Christian and Glenn Smith of Utah.
Allen's Jayhawkers have played
against seven of the players in the East-West game. Not counting the three KU men, that leaves 10 players—only four of which will play for the West—the Jayhawkers have not faced.

SPOTS, ANYWAY?
Once there was a Sophonore who had mastered Strategy and Tactics.
He could point out, with linguisgms, just where Napoleon pulled a Paillet in . . . and how the Hundred Years' War could have been used to secure Minutes, if he had only been consulted.
He didn't, however, know Women. As he demonstrated by forgetting his girl's birthday. She, naturally, was Incensed. Sent him a chilly letter canceling their date for the Spring Weekend, three Days away, and announcing that She was Through, Forever.
Fortunately, he was a Man of Infinite Resource. He waited until Thursday, then hiked to the Western Office and sent a telegram. Very casual . . . to wilt: "Sorry you can't make Weekend. Under circumstances, am dating Eloise Witherspoon. You may have seen her Picture when she was voted Dreamiest Dish on Campus."
His Pigeon arrived, breathing Fire, on the first train Friday. After the Air had settled, it turned out to be a Wonderful Weekend.
Even in Less Devious Ways, Telegraphs work Wonders. They coax Cash from Home in Moments of Crisis . . . give you a Head Start on competition for Dates . . . make Arrangements and Reservations, quickly and easily. Whatever you try to Promote, it's sound Strategy to Make your Pitch by Telegram.
