Easton To Unveil Unique Performer Against K-State Trackmen Saturday
Coach Bill Easton will unveil an unique field performer against Kansas State here Saturday following the Alumni football game as Kansas shoots for its sixth consecutive outdoor dual track win over the Wildcats.
Easton's newcomer will be Merlin Gish, 194-pound sophomore football center, who will compete in an odd amalgamation of shot put, discus throw and high jump. He'll be making his outdoor cinder debut after slogging through the first half of spring football practice.
The rugged Kingman product,
GISH
who led the Jayhawkers last year in single and individual tackles as a sophomore linebacker, owns a top mark of 45 feet 5 inches in the shot, a figure which probably will be good enough to win Saturday. He has gone as high as 5 feet 10 inches
in the high jump, which probably will be no better than third against the Cats' Virgil Severns and Ed Head.
How can Gish, a brawny piece of gridiron destruction, high jump close to 6 feet?
"He's a fine athlete," Easton appraises. "He has unusual spring for a big boy, is willing to work and is a good competitor."
Gish isn't ready to take his place atop the Big Seven heap in any event yet, but he'll help the thinly-manned Jayhawk field crew plenty against the Wildcats and Missouri in the remaining duals prior to the conference meet May 18-19.
Another footballer who'll be making his first appearance is halfback Charlie Hoag. He'll team with Gish in the discus in which he established a new Illinois state prep record two years ago at Oak Park High school with a sail of 158 feet 11-2 inches.
Severns will be competing for the first time since the Texas Relays. He has been on the shelf almost a month following an attack of pneumonia. Herb Hoskins, the Purple's fine broadjumper, is a doubtful

competitor since he still is being bothered by a jammed ankle. He probably can stow away an Aggie first in this meet with one jump, in which event the Wildcats will likely score the afternoon's only slam.
Because of a glittering set of records compiled through 34 previous meets, not a single new mark is slated to be written into meet books. The Jayhawks' great distance plodder, Herb Semper, has run under both the existing mile and two-mile standards of 4:16.5 and 9:21.3 this spring, but he will go for a double in these events and thus isn't likely to better those figures.

Injuries Fail To Stop Yanks
New York (U.P.) - It's getting to the point again where you can't see the world champion Yankees except during hospital visiting hours, but their array of crippled ball players still was managing to mop up the rest of the league today.
But cripples or no, the Yankees didn't do any charley-horsing around Wednesday in staging a 17 to 3 massacre at St. Louis in which they put over a record-tying 11 runs in the ninth inning. Rookie McDougall tied a modern major league record by driving in six of them, four on a grand slam homer, and two on a triple.
The whiz-bang Washington Senators took over first place by defeating the White Sox, 7 to 1, as Cuban Connie Warrero won his third straight game, scattering nine hits while his mates picked up 12.
Walt Dropo, benched for two weeks because he wasn't hitting, came back and batted in four runs with a double and single to lead the Red Sox to a 6 to 1 triumph at Detroit behind the six-hit pitch of young Charley Stobbs, who won his third straight game.
The Cardinals were the latest team to make 1950's ace reliever. Jim Konstany, look like just another thrower, when they pounded him for four hits good for four runs and 8 to 4 victory over the Phillies at Philadelphia. It was Konstany's second defeat without a victory and put the Cardinals back into full possession of first place.
The Pirates routed the Giants in the 10th inning with four runs good for a 7 to 4 victory at New York. Spider Jorgensen had tied it up with a pinch-homer in the ninth for the Giants, but a double by Clyde McCulough, a bunt by pitcher Mel Queen, Pete Castilgone's single, a single by George Metkovich, and a pair of fly balls by Gus Bell and Wally Westlake put over the runs.
Preacher Roe hurled six-hit hit to give the Dodgers an 8 to 0 win over the Reds in Brooklyn as Jackie Robinson supplied a two-run single and Billy Cox and Carl Furillo hit homers to provide the offensive power.
To Help You
Andy, Paiko collected three hits including a grand slam home run as the Cubs handed Max Surkont of the Braves a 9 to 3 defeat, his first of the year. Rookie Bob Schultz gained his second victory of the year, pitching nine-hit ball. Hank Sauer also homered for Chicago and Sam Jethroe hit his sixth homer of the year for Boston.
The University of Kansas Marketing Department in cooperation with the University Daily Kansan is conducting a market survey and readership study among K.U. students. They will attempt to find out how much students spend on housing, food, clothing, recreation, personal services, transportation, gifts, drugs, and cosmetics.
Four hundred students will be interviewed between May 3 and 10, and results will be published the latter part of May.
The Kansan and Marketing Department ask your cooperation if you are chosen to be interviewed. The results will provide you, the marketing and advertising departments, and the Kansan with helpful and interesting data. In no case will individual names be associated with any of the results.
