KU Enters Texas Relays With Three Titles To Defend
The Jayhawker track team will be in Austin on Friday and Saturday to defend the three titles they won last year in the annual Texas Relays sponsored by the University of Texas. Coach Bill Easton and his 11-man squad left Kansas City by plane today at 1:15 p.m.
Coach Easton said he figured his athletes to make their best showings in the four-mile and distance medley relays, with strongest competition coming from Texas A. and M. and Arkansas.
Last year's four-mile team of Cliff Abel, Herb Semper, Pat Bowers, and Bob Karnes ran the distance in 17:20.8 for a new Relays record. Each member of the quartet ran his mile at an average of 4:20.1.
b The distance medley relay team of Bob DeVinney, Abel, Bowers, and Karnes topped their competition in c 10:21.9. This event consists of 440, 880, 1,330-yard, and one-mile stretches.
The two-mile team breasted the tape in 7:46.4 as anchor-man Bowers, the famous distance runner, ran his 880-yard lap in 1:52 flat. Abel, Semper and Karnes were his three teammates in this victorious event.
Coach Easton has fairly well decided what men he will enter in the various events during the two-day meet.
In the distance medley he plans to open with Captain Emil Schutzel, followed with Jim Dinsmore, Keith Palmquist, and N.C.A.A. two-mile cross-country champ Herb Semper.
Don Smith will run the first quarter in the sprint meld event, Schutzel will follow with a 220 with either Jack Greenwood or Jim Hersberger on the next 220, and either Dave Fisher or Roland Cain will take over the half-mile anchor.
The four-mile relay team will lead off with Abel, followed by either Dinsmore or Fisher, then Palmquist, with Semper taking over the anchoring chores.
The two-mile relay team of Fisher, Cain or Abel, Dinsmore and Semper will run up against strong competition from the Michigan State entry, Warren Drucker and Don Makielski are both returning from last year's State team that set a new world's record in the Coliseum RELays of 7:31.8, shattering by .3.3 seconds the old mark.
The one-mile team will include
Schutzel as lead-off man, followed
by either Hershberger or Cain in the No. 2 slot, Greenwood running third, and Semper bringing up the rear.
Greenwood will be entered in both hurdle events and if the ace timber-topper is in good form Kansas may find itself with several more new titles. Greenwood won the Big Seven Indoor 60-yard high and low hurdles in :7.5 and :6.9 respectively.
Jim Floyd, a promising polevaulter, will enter in his specialty as the only Kansas man to compete in any of the field events. Floyd has cleared 12-feet 8-inches in his best effort so far this season.
Coach Easton took a rather dim view of the Kansas hopes, due mainly to the fact that his charges are not yet in top shape.
"The weather has been so bad this year that we have had only a few good days to work outside," he said. "Wednesday was about the best weather we've had so far."
Coach Easton said that Herb Semper, ranked as the greatest two-miler in Kansas track history, is one of the few in peak condition. But the stocky red-head could make a big difference, since he is entered in the distance medley, and the two and four-mile relay events.
The team will leave Austin at 10:45 Saturday night and will arrive in Kansas City at 3:45 a.m. Sunday. They will arrive at Lawrence early that morning in a chartered bus. Don Pierce, K.U. Sports Publicity Director, is traveling with the team.
Intramural Entries Are Due April 9th
The deadline for entries, except softball, in the men's spring intramurals is Monday, April 9. Team competition will be held in all sports, including tennis, badminton, handball, horseshoes, golf, swimming, and softball. Deadline date for softball is Saturday, April 14.
Augusta, Ga.—(U.R)—The greats of golf feed off today in the 15th Masters Golf tournament and the man with the best spectator's seat would gladly have traded it for a spot in the entry list.
Play Begins In Masters Golf Tourney Today
Ailing Bobby Jones sat on the porch of his white cottage near the 18th green as champions in all divisions competed for the crown he established himself when he laid out the beautiful Augusta national course.
Jones, chair-ridden by a spinal alineur, was in the spotlight although he can no longer play in the masters, for many years his lone competitive appearance. And sharing it with him was a man who himself practically crawled out a deathbed to record one of sports' major comebacks-Ben Hogan.
Hogan was far and away the favorite on the basis of his apparent complete recovery from grave auto accident injuries received in 1949. Surprisingly, big Jim Ferrier, the ex-Australian from San Francisco, was only mildly liked.
Out of the past that made Jones Golf's greatest figure with the 1930 sweep of all major tournaments in the world came old George von Elm to have a fling at the Masters. Von Elm, in a sense, was pinch-hitting for the grand-slammer because the two of them, in their day, were the whole show in amateur golf. Von Elm lost in the finals of the 1924 national amateur to Jones but beat him for the title in 1926.
Men wishing to participate in one or more sports on the program should sign up at the intramural office, 107 Robinson gymnasium. An entry fee of 35 cents is charged in each sport.
