DICK TOMLINSON, presently assisting Coach J. V. Sikes with spring football drills, will be out to show the Varsity linemen what he's been telling them when the Alumni and Varsity clash Saturday afternoon in Memorial stadium.
Tomlinson, now enrolled in the Graduate school, played professional football with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the past season. "Tommy" played for K.U. during the 1946, '47, '48, and '49 seasons gaining all-Big Seven guard honors in 1948.
This 210-pounder is noted for his speed, exceptionally fine blocking, and hard tackling in the open field. He is a great competitor who played both offense and defense during the 1948 and 1949 seasons.
Tomlinson won a starting berth on the famous 1947 Orange bowl team as a sophomore after making the club as a freshman the year before.
Co-captain of the 1949 team with Forrest Griffith, Tomlinson expects to play pro ball again this fall with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This former Dodge City all-state prep fullback hopes to get into coaching following his pro career.
Cooper Is Latest Addition To List Of Outstanding Relays Performers
Don Cooper's 15 feet $ _{1/8} $ inch swing off a wet, cold, pole vault runway in the 26th Kansas Relays here derricked another individual meet record out of sight.
The bespectacled Cornhusker with the sinewy shoulders didn't just nip Bill Carroll's one-year-old Relay mark of 14 feet 5 inches. He obliterated it by more than seven inches. Not only did he join the charmed circle of four men who not have cleared 15 feet with the aid of a metal pole, but he sailed his way into elite Relays company.
Not only did this group shatter records with such finality that they stuck the old ones into comparative mediocity, but there are no other winning marks on the Mt. Oread books near them.
This troupe consists of Cy Leland, the old T.C.E. sprint king; Charles Fonville of Michigan; Harrison Dillard of Baldwin-Wallace; and Alton Terry, Hardin-Simmons' javelin pegger. They belong to the Relys' Hall of Untouchables who have established records here that easily could weather the charge of future athletes for the next three or four decades.
Consider the feats of Cooper's predecessors in supreme performance
...Dillard unredeed a world record flight of 133.6 in the 120-yard high hurdles in 1948. Fonville wrote a new world mark on the same day with an unbelievable 58 ft. $^{3}$ inches hoist in the shot, Terry flung the javelin 229 feet $^{2/4}$ inches in 1937. Leland burred $^{69.4}$ in the century in 1930, now the oldest mark on the Relays books.
Now comes Cooper with his cloud-punching lift which, for a matter of two hours, stood as a new intercollegiate record. The Scarlet veteran was a victim of misfortune of the rankest variety since Illinois' Don Laz cancelled his college mark on the same afternoon with a 15-1 $ _{2} ^ {4}$ leap in a triangular at Los Angeles.
Nevertheless, Cooper joined the pantheon of wondersmen here. Only two other men in addition to him and Carroll, Texas' Beefus Bryan and Harry Cooper of Minnesota, ever have cleared 14 feet at the Relays. Now there is a 7 1-8 inch span between the lithe Nebraskan's record and the next-best Relays effort.
This holds true all along the line, the second best winning shot put effort in the history of the Jayhawkier Games is $4\frac{1}{2}$ feet behind that of Fonville, Kansas State's Rollin Prather having reached 53 feet 5-1-8 inches in 1950. The second best hurdles time is:14.2, which Dillard used to equal Fred Wolcott's record in
Giants Finally Win----Now Look Out
New York (L.P.)—It had to happen—it just had to—and Lippy Leo Durocher warned today that it will be well to watch out for his Giants from now on.
After 11 straight defeats by the team most experts picked to win the National league pennant, the Giants finally came through with a sweet victory last night,'humiliating the Dodgers, 8 to 5, before a packed house of 33,962 of their faithful fans in Ebbets field.
Five of those defeats had been administered by the hated Brooklyn rivals and there was authentic anger in the mood of the Giants when they took the field and scored six big runs in the first inning.
"That was what we needed, that was all that I ever asked for in all this long, long stream," Durocher said. "I wanted just one little break to go our way, just one big inning to break the tension, just one game where every ball we hit didn't go right into the hands of some opposing fielder. I knew if that happened the roof would fall in."
And as the Giants squared off at home tonight in the first of a home stand against the western clubs, there appeared to be evidence they would rebound completely from this inexplicable streak of bad luck.
The Giant-Dodger game was the only one yesterday, as the teams ended sectional warfare and began to battle the other half of each league in what will provide the first real sizeup of the season.
The Giants had their difficulties in winning. They knocked out starter Chris Van Cuyk when the first three batters Eddie Stanky and
Whitey Lockman singled and Bobby Thomson doubled for one run. A long fly by Monte Irwin, three straight walks by reliever Earl Mosser, and singles by Hank Thompson and Stanky wound up the rally.
Monday's games were postponed due to rain. They will be rescheduled at the earliest possible date. Team managers should check with the intramural office for fuller information.

Kansas Loses Tiger Opener
Missouri got only three earned runs, but they utilized nine Jayhawker errors to run up an 8 to 0 count and hand Carl Sandefur his first defeat of the season in a game played Monday afternoon at Columbia.
Bob Loschke, former Kansas City Lillis High star, limited Kansas to a total of four hits while his teammates were gathering 10. It was the first of a two-game series, the second to be played today, and gave both teams a 2-3 record in Big Seven competition.
The Tiger hurler gave up only one free pass while striking out four men. Kansas got only one man to third and one to second as their long-expected batting weaknesses became evident.
Missouri touched Sandefur for 10 hits, including triples by Junior Wren and Herb Gellman, scoring four runs in the first inning to sew up the decision.
The score by innings:
R. H. E.
Kansas ... 000 000 000—0 4 9
Missouri ... 400 202 00x—8 10 0
The best team.
Sandefur and Smith; Loschke and Gellman.
1946. The Rice skimmer had lowered the standard to that figure in 1338.
Texas' Gilliam Graham spanned 212 feet 5 inches with the javelin in 1938 which represents the high-water mark of Terry's futile pursuers.
host of leapers for 20 years. The mile record is 4:10:1 owned jointly by North Texas State's Blaine Rideout and Don Gehrmann of Wisconsin.
The record seekers aren't going to find much solace in the Relays' other four individual ceilings either. Bobby Walters high jumped 6 feet 8 3-16 inches for Texas in 1949. Indiana's Archie Harris erected a discus mark of $171$ $^4\frac{1}{2}$ in 1941. Ed Gordon's 25 feet $4\%$ inch broad jump in 1932 has withstood the challenge of a
These latter standards cannot be regarded as out of reach of the moderns but it's going to take some tremendous efforts and daylong sunshine.
Furthermore, the Kansas records of Dillard, Fonville, Cooper, and Terry are better than those now standing on the N.C.A.A. tables.
The feats of the five supermen can be more sharply appreciated when compared with the marks of the other two major Midwest Relays, Texas and Drake. Only Leland's mark has been equalled, that by Fred Neuguss of Tulane and U.T.s own Chink Wallender in 1935 at the Longhorn Games. The other four standards far overshadow those at Austin and Drake.
Relay officials here can do a little pardonable boasting. In the meantime they are rapidly running out of records to break.
