UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1950
HERE'S HOW, MEN. Jim McConnell displays the form that made him a decathlon champion during his competitive days at the University of Nebraska. But now the new assistant track coach at K.U. is more interested in teaching his skills to other prospective champs. He hopes for a large turn-out for the all-school pentathlon championships beginning Monday, Oct. 2, at memorial stadium.
All-University Pentathlon Will Begin Monday, Oct. 2
Fierce athletic competition; the chance to win fame, glory, and a victor's spoils; and an opportunity to work up a healthy sweat; all these await any University student who wants to take part in the all-school track and field pentathlon that assistant track coach Jim McConnell will run off beginning Monday, Oct. 2 and continuing through Friday, Oct. 27 in Memorial stadium.
Participating students will furnish the competition for each other, and the individual competitors must contribute the sweat; but the fame, glory, and victor's spoils will be provided by coaches McConnell and Bill Easton, head track coach.
The three high point winners will each receive a handsome medal, and in addition the champion's name will be engraved on a traveling trophy that will remain on display in the track office. McConnell plans to make the pentathlon competition an annual event, with the winner's name engraved on the trophy each year. Lettermen in either track or cross-country are not eligible for the contest.
The winner will be the person scoring the most total points in five track and field events. Points will be scored according to a set table similar to a decathlon scoring chart. The high-jump, for example, starts at three feet, nine inches for no points, but for each additional inch, 40 points is awarded. A jump of five feet, 10 inches is good for 1,000 points, so several persons will probably get more than 1,000 points in the high jump.
Contestants can choose from nine events for their competition, but only five events will be scored. A participant may compete in all nine and take the highest five, or he may compete in only five, but each contestant must include at least one running, one jumping, and one throwing activity in his five events.
Running activities include the 220-yard dash, the 880-yard run, and the 120-yard high hurdles (39 inch). Injump includes the running high jump, the running broad jump, and the pole-vault. Throwing includes the discus, the javelin, and the 12-pound shot.
McConnell set the schedule of the contest like this: Oct. 2 thru 6—shot-put, 220-yard dash, and broad jump. Oct. 9 thru 13—120-yard high hurdles, discus, and pole-vault. Oct. 16 thru 20—880-yard run, javelin, and high jump. Oct. 23 thrub 27—make-up week. The last chance to compete in an event if it was missed when scheduled.

Women's Intramurals To Begin
The women's intramural sports program begins Monday, Oct. 2, with six games in the volleyball round-robin tournament. First rounds of the badminton and tennis single elimination tournaments must be played off by Saturday, Oct. 7.
Four divisions of six teams each have been set up for the volleyball tournament. Approximately 100 women are entered in the tennis singles and 85 in the badminton singles competition.
Women living in private homes and unorganized houses may still sign up for any of the three tournaments. They must turn their names in Friday to Miss Ruth Hoover, director of women's intramurals, in the intramural office on the women's side of Robinson gymnasium. They will be assigned to one of the two teams for women in unorganized houses.
Volleyball games will be played at 7:15, 8, and 8:45 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday in Robinson gymnasium. The five dollar entry fee must be paid before the first game.
The first week schedule is as follows:
MONDAY, OCT. 2
7:15 Ternmith vs. Miller.
Jayettes vs. Watkins
8:00 Alpha Chi Omega vs. Pi Phi
Delta Gamma vs. I.W.W.
8:45 Tri Delt vs. Monchionsia
Competitors should report to the track at 5 p.m. on the evenings that they want to perform. Spiked shoes will not be allowed because all contestants could not provide them.
McConnell hopes to see at least one representative from every organized house or organization, and he is especially interested in freshmen.
"This pentathlon will provide athletic competition for anyone not presently participating in athletics," he said. "I think it will be a lot of fun for everybody who gets into it."
