5 Champs Will Return For Conference Meet
Columbia, Mo.—Five defending champions will be on hand when Big Seven track and field athletes converge on Rollins field here for the 23rd renewal of the conference outdoor carnival on May 18 and 19.
Moved to a conference locale other than Lincoln, Neb., for the first time since 1939, the two-day cinder show gives Missouri its first major outdoor spectacle in 35 years. Back in 1916, the Tigers were host to the Missouri Valley conference meet—a 15-team invitational affair which Mizzou won with 49 points.
What is perennially the Big Seven's springtime showpiece comes to Missouri this year under a new system intended to rotate the outdoor meet among the member schools.
Always red-circled on the calendar of any track enthusiast, the 1951 conference showdown brings together a host of top-notch spikemen whose performances at the major relays—Texas, Kansas, Drake and Colorado—already have whetted the fans' appetite.
Despite the fact that the entrylist is crammed with "name" attractions—Cooper, Semper, Greenwood, Kelley, Hoskins, Baker, Meader and McGuire to cite a few—the special aura generally clings to any defending champions, and this year is no exception.
More prominent in a lustrous field of shiny competitors are such 1950 outdoor titlists as Kansas' two standouts—Herb Semper, two-miler, and Jack Greenwood, low hurdles king; Herb Hoskins, Kansas State broad jumper; George Holley, Colorado's javelin thrower, and Bob Gorden, Missouri high-jumper.
These are the five individual monarchs, while Kansas returns three-fourths of its winning mile-relay combination.—Emil Schutzel, Jim Dinsmore and Bob DeVinney.
A sixth individual title probably will have to go by default. Charles Coleman, Oklahoma's splendid quartermile steed, pulled a muscle in the conference indoor meet, and Sooner authorities say he is through for the season.
Best bets to add a cluster to their 1950 ribbons are Semper whose 9:11:3 indoor winner stands as the league's all-time low in the twonile; Hoskins, the Wildcats' self-propelled jumper, and Greenwood, who will be striving for a double-heping of firsts in both hurdles.
If Hoskins can shake off the effects of a severe ankle sprain suffered three weeks ago, this trio should be hard to de-throne. But the crown rests less securely on the heads of Holley and Gorden.
Holley, the Buffs' javelinist, can expect plenty of argument from Kansas State's Don Frazier, and the Tiger twosome of Don Zimmerman and Bill Fessler. Holley topped Frazier by some 11 feet in the Colorado Relays, but the Purple strong-arm arched a throw of 196 feet 5 inches against Kansas last weekend for the loop's best effort this year. Holley's winner at the C.U. Relays measured 193 feet $7_{1/2}$ inches.
The high-jump field fairly rips with talent, so much that Gorden, the 1950 outdoor champ, now has his foot jubilee jump on the 1951 outdoor books.
Including indoor marks, no less than seven high-jumpers have
cleared 6 feet 3 inches, Kansas State's Virg Severns, now back in action after a siege of pneumonia, cleared the bar at 6 feet $ \frac{7}{4} $inches in the Texas Relays, while Dick Meissner, Nebraska, and Dick Jones, Oklahoma, own outdoor peaks of 6 feet 7 inches. Dogged for three months by a tender bear bruise, Gordon leaped 6 feet 4-7 8 inches last week.
Preliminaries in the 440-yard dash, shot put, javelin and broad jump will launch the Big Seven meet Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Saturday's finals will start at 1:30 p.m., with four field events—the pole vault, high jump, shot put and javelin.

Schutzel, primarily a quarter-miler, placed third outdoors last season and has been a consistent point winner in duals through the last two and one-half years.

New York (U.P.)-Third baseman Billy Johnson of the New York Yankees may be wearing a St. Louis Cardinal uniform very soon.

Yanks' Bill Johnson May Be Traded
- BY WEEK!
Cardinal president Fred Saigh said today he has been negotiating with the Yankees to purchase the ruggedly-built infielder on Waivers and the deal is "almost" completed. Saigh said only agreement on "The exchange of players" was holding up the sale.
It was believed the Card president was referring to a trade of minor-league players between the farm systems of the two teams.

Saigh said that the seven other American league teams had waived on Johnson "because they already have good third baseman."
Johnson, a righthanded hitter with a .275 lifetime average after six seasons with the Yankees, is 32 years old. Last season he batted 260, playing at third base and first base.

Dressen Boils When Sauer Hits 'Change' Pitch
You bring 'em in! We wash and dry 'em
New York (U.P.)—Irate manager Charley Dressen asked his Brooklyn Dodger pitchers this question today—"How can you throw a change of pace on the first pitch?"
Dressen was boiling because it was a "change" pitch that Hank Sauer belted for a two-run homer in the first inning yesterday to give the Chicago Cubs a 2 to 1 victory over the Dodgers.

"Carl Erskine threw him a change-up on the first pitch," said Charley. "A change-up is a good pitch—but you don't throw it on the first pitch. If you do, you're changing up on nothing. The hitter has to see your fast ball before you can change up on him."
A couple of Dodgers told Charley that a first pitch "change-up" was standard practice under former manager Burt Shotton last year. "It won't be this year," snapped Dressen.

He pulled a $10 bill from his pocket and waved it, saying "If you throw one this year, just come over and put one of these on the bench. That'll stop it."
