PAGE FIVE
DON COOPER OF NEBRASKA, who set a new Kansas Relays record in the pole vault Saturday, receives the "most outstanding athlete award" from Arthur C. Lonborg, director of athletics at the University. Cooper's mark of 15 feet $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch marked him as the fourth man in history to clear the 15 foot ceiling. He also held a new National Intercollegiate mark for about 20 minutes, before Don Laz of Illinois cleared 15 feet $ \frac{1}{4} $ inches at a triangular meet in Los Angeles. The old Relays mark of 14 feet 5 inches was set in 1950 by Oklahoma's Bill Carroll.
Nab 'Biggest Fixer Of All' In Ever-Growing Scandal
New York (U.P.)—Former Long Island university set-shot star Jackie Goldsmith was branded today as the "biggest fixer of all" in New York's ever-growing basketball bribery scandal.
Goldsmith, 18th college player drawn into the net since Jan. 1, is held on $50,000 bail—the highest yet set in the scandal. Assistant District Attorney Vincent O'Connor called him "the sum of all that is wrong in the basketball picture in recent years."

K.U. Seventh In Accuracy
Kansas notched seventh among the field goal percentage leaders with a team figure of 38.0, on 589 ringers in 1550 pegs from the field. Kansas State finished sixth at 38.7.
The Jayhawkers also placed Clyde Lovellette, their tremendous center.
O'Connor said Goldsmith "was responsible for the corruption of whole groups of players, more than anyone else in the City."
Goldsmith was arrested Saturday in the climax of a police hunt which began Feb. 15. He was charged with offering four ex-LIU. players-Natie Lipman, Eddie Gard, Dick Feurtado and Lou Lipman—$3,500 in bribes to throw the LIU.D-Duquesne game at Madison Square Garden Jan. 1, 1950.
But O'Connor—in demanding the high bail yesterday in week-end court said Goldsmith's activities in fixing games carried on for six years. He said the 31-year-old should not be allowed to go free because "people associated with him want what he can give us."
"In Goldsmith we see all phases of corruption exemplified," O'Connor said.
The assistant district attorney told Magistrate John Prendergast, "He has known over a period of weeks that we have been looking for him. He has been hiding in the city and elsewhere. He was intercepted Saturday night while dashing into a waiting car whose motor was running with a relative behind the wheel.
"Goldsmith prepared himself for this arrest by tearing out pages of an address book. He refused to give us even his own address. He refused to sign the fingerprint card at police headquarters until we told him he could not get bail until the card was signed."
Clyde Lovellette, Kansas' prolific basketball center, ranked second in total votes to Kentucky's 7 foot Bill Spivey on the A.P. all-American selection.
Cloudburst Clyde accumulated 602 ballots against 822 for the Wildcats' Lonesome Pine.
Lovellette ranked fourth among vote getters in the Collier's magazine poll with 606. Only Spivey, Bradley's Gene Melchiorre, and Sam Ranzino of North Carolina State polled more.
Lovellette Second In Votes
high in individual departments,
"The Mount" finished fifth among
America's major college scorers with a
22.8 average on 548 digits in 24
games, and 26th among field goal
percentage leaders with a 44.2 figure.
He nailed 245 buckets on 554 attempts.
Paul Endacott Speaks At K-Club Banquet
Patronize Daily Kansan Advertisers
Approximately 100 persons attended the third annual K-Club Relays banquet Saturday evening in the union ballroom. Howard Engleman, former K.U. cage great and now a lawyer in Salina, acted as master of ceremonies.
Each of the Jayhawk head coaches were introduced and gave short talks. Their players were pointed out and some 40 high school prospects were also introduced.
The main speaker of the evening was Paul Endacott, executive vice-president of Phillips Petroleum company and a K.U., all-American in 1922 and 1923. He was picked as Helms "player of the year" in 1923.
"K.U. doesn't need any selling," Endacott said. "You can see it, feel it, smell it—I understand it's even good for asthma."
Everyone has secret ambitions, he said, and it is up to the individual to jump at the opportunities offered him. There's very little difference between a champion and one who's not a champion, he continued. It's the "last half-ounce of effort" that makes the difference.
Wichita East Wins AA Title
Wichita East took home its eighth Kansas Interscolastial trophy in nine years Friday when its blue clad undernum scored 39 points to nose out Topeka and Wyandotte for the Class AA championship.
Stafford compiled 31 points to win the Class A division and Conway Springs rolled up $28\frac{1}{2}$ points for the Class B crown.
Champions in none of the three division were decided until the final event—the mile relay—was completed. Wichita East won the Class AA mile relay to boost its total to 39 points, ahead of Topeka's $32\frac{1}{2}$ and Wyandotte's 32 1-6.
Stafford was second in the Class A mile relay and its 31 points was slightly better than Haskell's 25 and Rosedale's $2\frac{1}{2}$. Conway Springs' four points that it received by finishing second in the Class B mile relay boosted its point total of $2\frac{1}{2}$ ahead of Pretty Prairie's 24/2/1.
No records were broken in the 47th annual running of the event. One hundred and three schools scored points or a fraction of a point-20 in class AA, 35 in Class A, and 48 in Class B.
Pinehurst, N.C. (U.P.)—One shot made Frank Stranahan the No. 1 threat in the North and South Amateur Golf championships which began Monday even though another man won the qualifying medal.
Stranahan's Shot 'Best I Ever Saw'
Stranahan, the Toledo, Ohio, mashie man, scored an eagle on the 419-yard 12th hole that overshadowed him. He also won the medal for southern amateur champion Dale Morey of Dallas, Texas.
Stranahan's seven-iron shot landed on the green, rolled four feet and dropped into the cup. Chick Evans, who won this tournament four years ago, was so impressed that he scrawled a lusty tribute on Stranahan's score card.
"Best shot I ever saw." it said.
Best shot I ever saw, it said.
Despite the shot, however, Stranahan could not break par. He shot a 36-37--73. But only four of 148 starters were able to beat the regulation figure.
Morey, who said he hasn't played much golf lately, set the pace in a blustery wind and occasional heavy showers which pitted the field. Howard Everett of Atlantic City, NJ, placed second by one stroke.
