Karnes, Semper Break Records At Big 7 Meet
By RICHARD DILSAVER
Oklahoma's Jerry Meader lost his baton 15 yards from the finish of the mile relay to cost the Kansas Jayhawkers second place in the soggy Big Seven track and field championships at Lincoln Friday and Saturday. Rain fell throughout the meet.
In addition to bringing home third place in team totals, the Jay-hawkers returned with four victories in individual events—two of them record performances. KU distance greats, Capt. Bob Karnes and sophomore Herb Semper, got the records in the mile and two-mile. Other Kansas triumphs were by Jack Greenwood in the low hurdles and the surprising mile relay team of Capt-elect Emil Schutzel, John Sites, Jim "Red" Dinsmore, and Bob Devinney.
Had Meader kept his grasp on the bamboo and not lost the Sooners' second place in the relay behind the Kansans, Colorado wouldn't have scored but six points to K.U.'s 10. But the disqualification of O.U. gave the Golden Buffaloes eight points instead and dropped Kansas to third in the totals, $ \frac{1}{4} $ points behind.
Team standings were as follows:
Nebraska, 105 3-4; Colorado, $84\frac{1}{2}$;
Kansas, $83\frac{1}{4}$; Kansas State $74\frac{1}{2}$;
Missouri, 57 3-4; Oklahoma, 53\%; and Iowa State, 5 3-4.
Karnes settled a week-old score with Bill McGuire of Missouri in his record 4:12.6 mile for his third straight title in the event. The Missourian had barely beaten the Jayhawker captain in 4:10.7 in a dunel meet a week previous. Saturday Karnes finished fully 15 yards in front of a badly beaten McGuire, and earned himself the accolade of outstanding star of the meet for second consecutive year.
Semper had a wetter track and a heavier rain to hamper him, but he scampered through to his two-mile record of 9:21. And he wasn't pushed to the new mark. The second-place runner, Bob Fox of Missouri, trailed by 25 yards.
McGuire had been considered a threat to Semper, too. But he had already had too much Karnes earlier in the day and lost out in a stretch duel for sixth place with Don Furlough of Kansas State.
Greenwood was an incensed runner in winning the low hurdles. The Jayhawker thought he had won the high hurdles earlier in a close finish, but he was awarded only fourth place. In the lows, he made sure of victory by five vards.
The previously little - publicized mile relay team was the biggest
Jayhawker surprise. Game little Schutzel took over the lead on the backstretch of the initial leg, and Sites and Dinsmore held it through the next two laps, Devinney getting a yard advantage for the anchor leg.
Devinney and Meader went stride for stride the entire distance, and the K.U. sophomore flash still had his yard to the good at the finish line. Another surprise was the failure of Jayhawker All - American Pat Bowers to win the 880-yard run. He lost to Bill Jacobs of Oklahoma by about six yards, his first defeat of the year.
Friday in the preliminaries Bowers was just one-tenth of a second off Glenn Cunningham's conference record of 1:52.2.
The All-American offered no excuses for his defeat, saying only, "At least, I couldn't have lost to a nicer guy." But Coach Bill Eason said Bowers had spent himself in the runie earlier.
Other Kansas point winners were as follows:
Schutzel, third in the 440: Devinney, fourth in the broad jump and second in the 220-yard dash: Del Norris, tied for fifth in the high jump, and Jim Floyd, tied for fifth in the role vault.
Nebraska won the meet by getting more men into the preliminaries
than any other team, and by scoring in every event but the two-mile run.
By meet time Saturday the consensus was the Huskers would triumph if dashman Harry Meginnis held up. The speedy Nebraskan had been bothered earlier in the season by a pulled leg muscle. But he came through with wins in the 100 and 220 to insure the title for N.U.
A factor in the Cornhuskers' win, however, was big Jim McConnell, winner of the decathlon at the Kansas Relays. The Nebraskan was second in the javelin throw, fifth in the shot put and broad jump, and sixth in the discus throw, compiling a total of 13 points.
One other record was broken in the course of the meet. Colorado's Jim Allen tossed the shot 53 feet $10\frac{1}{4}$ inches on his final trial in Friday preliminaries to eclipse the 52-2 7-8 record of Kansas State's Rollin Prather. The mark stood up Saturday as Prather could do no better than 51-9 for second place.
Missouri was the most disappointing team. Winners of the meet the three previous years, the Tigers had been given chance to do it
again. But they were lucky to finish fifth. They would have dropped into sixth place had not Oklahoma lost those eight points in the relay.
Defending champions who returned had a rough time of it. Those who failed were Gil Phillips of Missouri in the 440-yard dash, Bowers in the 880, Earl Elliott of Kansas State in the high hurdles, Missouri in the mile relay, Joe Gold of Colorado in the high jump, and Prather in the shot put.
Successful in regaining their championships were Karnes in the mile run (he didn't defend his two-mile title), Bill Carroll of Oklahoma in the pole vault, Herb Hoskins of Kansas State in the broad jump, and Prather in the discus throw.
Six Jayhawkers earned a trip to Dallas June 3 for the annual Big Seven-Southwest conference Dual of champions. They are Bowers, Devinney, Greenwood, Karnes, Schutzel, and Semper.

Eighteen Jayhawker Athletes Get Jobs
By JOHN McMILLION
Eighteen men from the largest class in the history of the department of physical education have their immediate futures assured Fourteen of these men will coach in high schools and junior colleges in Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. Two men will teach and the other two, Dick Tomlinson and Forrest Griffith, plan to play pro football next year.
Bob Karnes, captain of this year's back squad and one of the outstanding distance men in the Midwest, has been hired as head track coach at the Sedalia (Missouri) High school. Karnes has lettered the past three years in track and has been the most outstanding distance man that Kansas has produced since Glen Cunningham controlled the cinders.
Bud French, who has been a thorn in the sides of K.U.'s football opponents the past three seasons, will go to Kansas City, Mo., where he will be an assistant coach at Central High school.
Roland Ellerts, first string center for the Jayhawker eleven the past year is the only man to get a junior college berth. Ellerts will be assistant coach at the Garden City Junior college.

Another former football player, end Bryan Sperry, will assume duties next fall as head football coach at Hiawata High school. Sperry lettered in 1948 but was ineligible the past year.
The other co-captain of the Jayhawkers the past year, fullback Forrest Griffith, is still undecided as to whether he will enter pro football or become a coach. He may take a whack at the pro ranks first and then go into coaching.
Floyd Temple, letterman at fullback in 1949 and first string third baseman for the past two years on Coach "Red" Hogan's baseball nine, has been appointed assistant football and basketball coach at Paola. The head coach at Paola is Hoyt Baker, fullback on the 1946 Orange Bowl team.

'47, and '48 football squads, has received the head coaching job at Sublette. Brown has been hampered by a back injury and was unable to play this year.
The head coach of football at Medicine Lodge next year will be Howard Fischer, who played center on the football team in 1946 '47, and '48. He lettered in '47 and '48.
Dale Corder, of Denison, has been hired as a teacher at Russell and Bill Cornwell, from Lawrence, has been hired to coach and teach in Lincoln. Cornwell will be head basketball coach.
