Kansas State Track Team Has Aces But Lacks Needed Picture Cards
Columbia, Mo.—Any bridge-player who's ever held most of the aces, but too few picture cards, in a no-trump situation can sympathize with Coach Ward Haylett, the Kansas State track coach.
Haylett's Wildcats will put some of the Big Seven's shiniest performers on exhibit at the league's 23rd outdoor track championships here Friday and Saturday—but the Purple squad lacks the depth to be a top-rate contender.
Conceivably, four sparkling K.S.C. entries could walk off with five first places. That's more blue-ribbon possibilities than any other foe can look to, excepting Oklahoma.
Bearing down hard for top awards, the Cats who demand high consideration include Thane Baker, 100 and 220; Herb Hoskins, broad jump; Virgil Severn, high jump; and Don Fraizer, javelin.
Handicapped by recent injury or illness, neither Hoskins nor Severn will be in tip-top competitive shape, Hoskins — defending broad jump king — has had to remodel his jumping style after severely straining his take-off ankle. Ordinarily, he's a strong 24-foot jumper, and won last year's outdoor event at 24 feet $^{24}$ inches.
Severnus, who led collegiate high-jumpers with a 6-foot $8\frac{1}{4}$ inch soar last year, may be rusty after a lay-off caused by pneumonia. His feat of clearing 6-feet $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches in the Texas Relays might make him a probistic favorite, if it weren't for the fact that Oklahoma's Dick Jones and Dick Meissner of Nebraska have marked up jumps of 6 feet 7 inches this season. Bob Gorden, defending titlist, with a high of 6 feet $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches at the 1950 Big Seven-Southwest meet, is another definite threat.
Kansas State will pin its dash hopes on Baker, a crack sophomore with clockings of .09.9 in the 100, and .21.9 in the 220 to his credit. Indications are that the 6-foot 2 inch sprinter will go to the mark with Colorado's Dole Kelley in both short races. Kelley bolted the century in .09.7 to defeat Baker at the Colorado Relays.
Fraizer hooks up with another Buffalo hazard in the javelin, with George Holley, the 1950 pace-setter, the man to beat here. Fraizer lost the CU. Relays spear-throwing duel to Holley—finished fifth, in fact—but his toss of 196 feet 1 5-8 inches against Kansas betters Holley's best distance this season. The Coloradoan's winning throw at the CU. Relays measured 193 feet $7_{2}$ inches.
While this foursome will carry the load, Kansas State has other capable point-getters in: Dick Towers, 880; Ted Hanson and Dean Kays, mile; Hi Faubion and Dick Knostman, high hurdles and discus, and Dean Nunn, pole vault. There are few reliable bets for high places, however.

the conference indoor half, pushed K.U.'s Rollie Cain all the way in the Jayhawk's 1.55.9 triumph recently. Faubion had a swift :14.6 tour over the high hurdles last year, but ran third to Kansas' Jack Greenwood and Knostman in a dual meet two weeks ago.
The form sheet says that the Wildcat's mile relay team will bow and scrape to no one save Oklahoma's Sugar Bowl champs. Haylett's baton-passers are Bill Stuart, Towers, Trevor Watson and Baker. They were timed in 3:20.7 against Kansas. The Sooners won at New Orleans in 3:17.6, but had a 3:15.2 unofficial clocking in their second-place finish at Drake.
In pre-meet calculations, Kansas State will be hard-put to improve
on last year's fourth-place finish outdoors. Give Haylett one more specialist—a Rollin Prather, for instance, who came up with 18 points via the shot and discus last year—and the Wildcats would kick up plenty of sparks in the 1951 title scramble.
