Pole Vaulter And FBI Miler Share KU Relays Spotlight
Bv FORREST MILLER
Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Records are made to be broken and no one knows that better than bespectacled Don Cooper, University of Nebraska pole vaulter. At the 26th annual Kansas Relays Saturday afternoon Cooper raised his six foot one-inch frame over the bar at 15 feet $ \frac{1}{8} $ - inch and thus became the fourth man in history to clear 15 feet.
Approximately 9,500 fans watched the high-flying Cornhusker better the National Intercollegiate record of 14 feet, 11 inches, the Kansas Relays mark of 14 feet, 5 sets by Oklahoma's Bill Carroll in 1950 and become the second man to ever top 15 feet outdoors.
Then, a few minutes later and 2,000 miles away, Illinois' Don Laz soared 15 feet, $ \frac{1}{4} $ inches during a triangular meet at Los Angeles. Laz and Cooper both failed at higher attempts.
Cornelius Warmerdam, world record holder at 15 feet, 7¾ inches, has gone higher than Laz or Cooper outdoors. Bob Richards, formerly of Illinois, has cleared the mark several times indoors.
Somewhat overshadowed by Cooper's great vault was F.B.I. agent Fred Wilt's surprising victory over ex-Wisconsin miler Don Gehrmann in the Glenn Cunningham mile. Wilt ran a blazing last quarter after running fourth through most of the first three laps to take a 20-yard lead over Gehrmann, who was seeking his third straight Cunningham trophy.
Wilt, who had defeated Gehrmann only twice in 11 previous meetings this year, and Gehrmann, three-times N.C.A.A. mile champion, came into the final stretch matching bride for stride but Wilt nosed ahead at the finish line by less than half a yard in 4:16.8.
A complete summary of the meet is on page 5 of this issue.
Other Big Seven entries did themselves proud. Oklahoma relay teams sped to triumphs in the 440, mile and 2-mile events and Kansas State's Thane Baker broke the tape first in the 100-yard dash, besting Hayden Fields of Howard Payne who had beaten him in the Texas Relays. Sparked by a splendid half-mile on the anchor leg by Bill McGuire, Missouri's sprint medley team bettered favored Oklahoma A & M.
Drake, who barely nosed out Ok-
lahoma in the 880 relay, was the only non-Big Seven team to win a relay.
Texas A. & M.'s sophomore sensation, Darrow Hooper, was the only double winner of the day. He heaved the shot 51 feet, $8_{1/2}$ inches for a first in that event and flung the discus 145 feet, $3^{1/2}$ inches for another medal.
Another Kansan who surprised most followers was Baker's high jumper, Kenneth Sterns. The six foot, six inch Sterns, who doubles as a basketball center, leaped six feet. 4.5/8 inches to win that event
Meet officials said, that Walter Davis, Texas Aggie high jumper, was forced to scratch when he turned an ankle in practice shortly before the College Station team embarked for Lawrence. Davis, the pre-meet favorite, has cleared 6 feet 9 inches several times this season.
An Ottawa university quartet of Max Davenport, John Blythe, Bill Young, and Jim Douglas won the college invitational sprint medley relay in 3:42.9.
Paul Faulkner, Abilene-Chris javelin thrower, unsecated defending champion Ray Marck of Texas with a heave of 201 feet, $ \frac{3}{4} $ of an inch. Mark was second with 190 feet, $ \frac{7}{4} $ inches.
Topeka, Ks.
More Than 300 Boy Scouts
Attend K.U. Activities
More than 300 Boy Scouts from Kansas and western Missouri were on the campus April 21 for the annual Scout Visitation program.
Hutchinson won the junior college sprint medley relay in 3:41.6. Runners were Phil Boster, Don Edwards, Bob Melville, and Ted Stryker.
Coffeyville won the high school mile relay as Jim Franklin, Loyd George, Jack Hall, and Don Lee ran their 440s in a total of 3.344.
Plan Draft Situation Meeting Wednesday
A meeting for men interested in the draft situation will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday, in room 206 of Strong hall.
"We have received a great deal of information from Washington since the April 3 meeting and we feel that we are in a better position to discuss the situation now." James K. Hitt, registrar, said today.
Students with questions concerning their draft status should write them out and leave them in the restar's office before the meeting.
Mr. Hitt said the meeting may be held once a week, if enough interest is shown.

Bevan Resigns Starts Walkout In Labor Party
Bevan was expected to explain his bolt in detail before Commons this afternoon. He was expected to cause the walkout of at least two other ministers in addition to Wilson.
London (U.P.)—A second British cabinet member resigned today, heightening the possibility that the Labor government would fall and thus bring on a general election.
Bevan's decision to resign rather than support a budget giving re-armament priority over social services brought the first major cleavage in cabinet ranks in the Labor party's six-year rule.
Supply minister George Strauss and War minister John Starchey, members of Bevan's bloc, were reported wavering on the issue of whether to quit.
The growing revolt presents prime minister Clement R. Attlee with the gravest crisis to his Labor government since it swept into office in the closing days of World War II.
Harold Wilson, president of the Board of Trade, tossed in his job in support of fiery leftist leader Aneurin Bevan whose resignation as Minister of Labor was announced Sunday.
The surviving members of the split cabinet met at 11 a.m. (4 a.m. C.S.T.) to survey the damage created by the rebellion.
Red Offensive Drives UN Back
The Labor party majority has been reduced to five votes and two by-elections are pending.
If Bevlan led his estimated 30 followers in Commons to the Conservative side on the budget vote, he could easily torple the government.
Even if the merger of Bevan leftists and conservatives does not take place, Attlee was expected to call for a general election in the fall at the latest.
Tokyo (U.P.)—United Nations forces in western Korea withdrew south of the Hantan river Sunday in the face of the long-awaited Chinese Communist counter-offensive which drove at least two wedges into the Allied lines on their right.

Vanguard forces of an estimated 70,000-man. Communist army launched the anticipated spring offensive. It hit United Nations forces on the western, central, and east-central fronts along a 95-mile line.
In the west the Allies withdrew the spearheads which had reached within four miles of the big Communist bastion of Chorwon, 17 miles north of the 38th parallel. They fell back across the Hantan river and broke off contact with the enemy.
U. N. forces on the central front beat Red attacks early Sunday without giving ground. The Reds checked their assaults during the day. When darkness fell they attacked again.
On the east-central front the Reds rammed at least two wedges into U.N. lines north of Inje. Heavy fighting raged east of the Hwachon reservoir, where one hill changed hands twice.
Allied artillery met the Red attacks with a roaring, round-the-clock barrage at the rate of 1,000 shells an hour to some sections.
Warplanes roared out in record numbers in clear skies to join the U.N. defense. A preliminary fifth air force report said the planes killed 1,800 reds and the total was expected to climb above 2,000.
Lt. Gen. James A. Van Fleet warned only a few hours before the Reds launched their attacks, that they might throw "new forces" into the Korean war.
This was the situation on the three fronts shortly before midnight Sunday:
Van Fleet said the new forces were composed of miscellaneous other 'volunteers' employing air power." (This appeared a clear reference to an estimated 100,000 Japanese war prisoners which the Russians have been training in Manchuria.)
Western front-U.N. troops withdrew south of the Hantan river during the day, unhindered by attacks after breaking contact with the enemy. Troops who had fought to within four miles of Chorwon pulled back to positions they held four days ago.
Central front--all daytime Chinese attacks held, including two battalions striking at U.N troops southwest of Hwachon. The Chinese wedged in between two U.N. divisions and captured commanding ground 13 miles southwest of Kumhwa by sheer weight of numbers.
East-central front—the Reds drove in at least two wedges into Allied lines north of Inje before 8 p.m. Sunday and then ceased major daylight attacks. Several enemy troop boats attempting to cross the Hwachon reservoir were sunk by Allied artillery fire.
Some 1,000 to 2,000 Communists broke into the Allied line west of the reservoir and 10 miles north of the parallel. A new line was established farther south and at last reports was still holding.
Students Injured In Car Accidents
Two University students were involved in automobile accidents during the week end.
John H. Cain, College freshman, suffered lacerations of the scalp in an accident in Lawrence early Sunday morning. Watkins hospital officials described his condition as good today.
Harold Malone, College junior, suffered lacerations of the face and scalp in an accident early Saturday morning in Kansas City, Mo. He was treated at St. Mary's hospital in Kansas City and released Sunday. The car was demolished.
Insurance Men To Interview
Representatives of Aetna Life Insurance company will interview students in the School of Business Tuesday. Detailed information is available at the office of the School of Business.
