Southerners, Yankees War' At Out-Of-State Dinner
By VERNON SUTTON
Four Yankee representatives carried Mary Lou "Hello Myon Chile" Fischer, chairman of the dinner, from the banquet room, and the Californians sang "California, Here I Come."
With students from both sides of the Mason-Dixon line at the banquet, it was natural for a minor and friendly Civil War to take place. The Southerners sang "Dixie" but the Yankees managed to sing "John Brown's Body" first.
What The Hell Are You Doing Way Out Here In Kansas? was the theme of the out-of-state dinner Thursday night.
"We have become more educated in Kansas." Professor Ise declared. "We didn't use to have enough sense to call a Communist a Communist. We called them Populists."
Mary Lease of "raise less corn and more hell" fame were mentioned by Professor Ise as two more of the famous people of Kansas.
"When the Kansans are in purgatory, they will be walking around asking everyone else what they are complaining about." he said.
Professor Ise poked fun at Kansas, but said that the other states had similar histories.
Representatives from Missouri Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C. Illinois, Florida, Iowa, New Jersey, California, Pennsylvania, Montana Alabama, Ohio, Massachusetts, Washington and Kansas were present.
The only foreign representative was Hertha Doreck, from Stuttgart, Germany.
Duel Of Milers To Feature KU Relays
By ALAN MARSHALL Daily Kansas Sports Editor
Track and field stars from all over the nation will gather in Memorial stadium Saturday for the 26th annual Kansas Relays. Only three records appear to be in any danger but with good weather many more could fall.
The first event of the day will be the 110-meter hurdles at 9 a.m. The javelin preliminaries and finals at 10 a.m. will open the individual events.

Reds Continue Delaying Action As They Retreat
Tokyo (U.P.) Retreating Reds turned and fought on the approaches to the twin Communist bastions of Chorwon and Kumhwa in central Korea today, but it appeared no more than a delaying action.
Elsewhere across the 140-mile wide Korean peninsula, the Chinese and Korean Reds outdistanced their cautious pursuers in a general retreat deeper into North Korea.
One United Nations spearhead ran head-on into counter - attacking Communist read guards eight miles southeast of Chorwon and some 10 to 12 miles above the 38th parallel.
Another enemy force estimated at 200 hit the advancing Allies a mile southeast of that action and were dispersed by artillery in 15 minutes. Two other Communist counterattacks in about the same strength in the area were repulsed before dawn.
Farther' east, below Kumhwa, a U.N. task force probing ahead of the main advance engaged a strong Chinese contingent and fighting still continued today.
Hershberger Named Regent
Topeka (U.P.)—Attorney General Harold R. Fatzter ruled today that Art W. Hershberger, Wichita attorney, is "the duly and legally appointed member of the board of regents" instead of Jerry Driscoll, the fiery Russell attorney.
The state's chief law enforcement officer thus held in favor of Gov. Edward F. Arm, who named Hershberger to the board, in the regents row over who was to occupy the disputed ninth seat.
Asked for by board of regents secretary Hubert Brighton, the attorney general's opinion was given just before the scheduled start of the monthly meeting of the governing body of state schools.
'Mac' Cheered In New York
New York (U.P.) — Gen. Douglas MacArthur flew in to New York City Thursday night from Washington and found an estimated 1,500,000 cheering, flag-waving admirers lined the 12-mile route from Long Island's Idlewild airport to the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.
The throng was so great and the traffic so dense that the trip lasted two hours and the MacArthurs didn't get to bed until after midnight.
At the airport police took precautions that prevented the near-riots which marred MacArthur's arrivals in San Francisco and Washington earlier this week. Only 500 selected dignitaries and the press were admitted to the isolated hangar where the Bataan landed.
Flood Crest Reaches Iowa
Muscatine, Iowa (U.P).—A state of emergency was ordered in Muscatine, Iowa, today as communities in the path of the southbound Mississippi river flood crest prepared for record high water.
The river already had spilled over its banks along a 150-mile stretch from southwestern Wisconsin to northwestern Illinois and Iowa. Record crests were expected in the southern portion of the area this week-end or early next week.
The Glenn Cunningham mile run at 3:15 p.m. matches the nation's two greatest milers, ex-Wisconsinson Don Gehrmann and Fred Wilt, formerly of the University of Indiana. These two will meet for the 12th time this year in their famous feud.
Gehrmann, holding a nine to two advantage over his opponent, will also be aiming for the coveted Kansas Relays triple. He won the Cunningham mile in 1949 and 1850, his time of 4:10.1 in 1949 qualifying him for a half-share of the record with Blaine Rideout of North Texas State.
Three other runners will try for the mile title: Denis Johansson of Purdue; Javier Montez from Texas Western; and Dewey Johnson of Drake.
Johansson won the Jerry Thomptez, who was second to Gehrmannes, who was second to Gehrmann here last year, retained his 3,000-meter crown at Austin and tied for second in the mile.
Don Cooper of Nebraska will point for the pole vault record set last year by Oklahomaan Bill Carroll, at 14 feet 5 inches. Cooper has bettered 14 feet 6 inches six times this season, but recently he soared upward 14 feet $ \frac{9}{4} $ inches to establish a new world mark off a dirt runway.
Texas A. and M's high-jumper, 6-foot 8-inch Walter Davis, stands a good chance of breaking the current Kansas ceiling of 6 feet 8/13 inches set two yeras ago by Texas Bobby Walters. Davis, star post man on the Aggie basketball team, previously this year cleared 6 feet 9 inches.
Davis' teammate, burly Darrow Hooper, is favored in both shot put and discus throw. The sophomore holds a Texas Relays record of 53 feet 1 inch with the iron ball, and last Saturday threw the discus 157 feet 1 inch in a triangular meet. He is undefeated in both events this year in six major meets.
The Relays shotput record of 58 feet $ \frac{3}{4} $ inches, a new world mark in 1948, is held by Charles Fonville of Michigan.
Another Texas Aggie entry, the mile relay team, has come within one second of the Relays mark of 3:15.0 held by Rice.
Oklahoma will send the same four relay teams that in the Texas relays "walked" away with the 440, 880, two-mile and sprint medley relays.
In the other two university-class baton events, KU will enter. Kansas won the distance medley at the Texas festivities, but Arkansas and Missouri are definite threats.
Several college class standards are- also in danger. North Texas State has covered the half-mile relay distance in 1:27.7 this year, which is only one second off the Relays mark. Abilene Christian appears to be a good bet in the mile relay and Loyola of Chicago, with a 3:28.8 performance in the sprint medley this season, will be shooting for the mark of 3:27.1 held by Abilene-Christian.
Howard-Fayne's ace sprinter, Hayden Fields, will be on hand for the 100-yard dash. He captured the Texas Relays title with a :10.0 effort, but the Relays mark is :69.5 held by Charley Parker of Texas.
Kansas' Jack Greenwood will be looking for his second title in the 120-yard high hurdles. The wiry timber-topper won here in 1949 but last season was beaten out by Iowa's Russ Merkel.
Harrison Dillard of Baldwin-Wallace holds this Relays mark of 133.6 which he set in 1948, then accepted as a world record.
