UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
By RICHARD DILSAVER
Were you consistently the best
liter in the Big Seven since the Iron
Irse, Glenn Cunningham, himself
id the cinders almost two decades
o, then ran two of the best races
your life and only finished second
each, how would you feel? Dis-
urged?
Mr. Robert D. Karnes, captain of the Kansas track squad, did just that on a Saturday. Brilliant Bill was deated in the amazing 4:10.7 mile at sourii by Tiger Bill McGuire. Karnes just did 4:10.9. And he was cond to teammate and All-American Pat Bowers in a 1:52.3. 880-rd run. Bobby only ran 1:54.
stest mile and half-mile of his career and didn't win, either but if you think that will affect him come the weekend and the Seven meet at Lincoln, read next day's Daily Kansan and see how Bob Karnes won his third consecutive conference outdoor title in the league and set a new league record in ring it.
What are the chances for Kansas playing the outdoor title to the in- or crown it gained by staging the uprise of the conference season it winter? Well, let's put it this way: If the Jayhawkers do it, it will nearly as surprising as their in- or triumph. Coach Bill Easton'sew should outscore all opponents the track. But in the field events In other words, Easton's squads balance.
Ordinarily the Jayhawkers' best fit to score field points would be velin thrower Bob Drumm. But at ace sper tosser has such a sore arm at present that Coach Easton won't even sure if he'll make the trip. Looking over the other field pants, Jayhawkter hopes don't pick a too much. It's doubtful if any anasas points will come in the shot at and pole vault. There may be
on the high jump, broad jump,
focus throw. But Jayhawkers
are will have to exceed anything
yeve done this season to give
ston's men on the track enough
distance to gain the crown.
And why, one might ask, doesn't Cassas have someone who can put a shot over 45 feet or throw the focus 140 feet if it has a bevy ofavyweights on its football roster? Her all, a major factor in a good right man is that he be beefy. It's question not easy to answer with getting some pretty daggerseries from the football office in Robson gym. But the answer definitely isn't that Coach Easton wouldn't come any young grid giant com-out for track, particularly toow the shot and discus.

Jayhawkers Eye Distance Marks At Lincoln
By RICHARD DILSAVER Kansans will be in the midst of a wholesale assault against the record books by Big Seven stars at the conference outdoor track and field meet in Lincoln Friday and Saturday. As usual, Coach Bill Easton's distance brigade carries the bulk of his hopes.
All-American Pat Bowers, Capt. Bob Karnes, and sophomore Herb Semper are rated the Jayhawkers most likely to come home with new league marks to their credit. In all, no less than 10 of the 15 records are in danger. Nine of the standards have been bettered during the season.
Bowers' time of 1.523 in the 880-yard run in a dual meet at Missouri a week ago is a bare one-tenth of a second off the record hung up by Jayhawker immortal Glenn Cunan wouldn't be wise to bet that the Chicago senior won't better the mark this week end.
Karnes will almost have to set a record to win the mile as he hooks up in what should be a great race with ace Misourian Bill McGuire. At the Missouri dual, it was McGuire by a step in the sensational time of
4:10.7. The record, a 1532 mark by Cunningham, is 4:14.3. Karnes has won the event in the past-two conference meets.
Thus, should the two marks fall, the great name of Cunningham would be wiped from the books.
Semper also may have trouble with McGuire, but whoever wins it is virtually assured a new record. The mark is 19:29.9. Semper, who is holder of the conference indoor record at 19:26.8, has a best time of 19:20.2 for the season. McGuire ran a stirring 19:16.7, top mark in the nation this year, in a blizzard at the Drake Relays. But whether the Missourian can do this after Karnes is through with him is doubtful.
Events in which marks may well all are the 440-yard dash, mile reay, shot put, discus, high jump, broad iump, and pole vault.
Oklahoma sophomore Charles Coleman has twice been timed in 4:7.7 in the quarter-mile while running raley legs. If he can do as well in the open event Saturday he'll have a new record for the mark is 48. His chief competition will be teammate Jerry Meader, Nebraskan Loyal Hurlbert, and Jayhawker Emil Schutzel.
With Coleman and Meader teaming with Carroll Swickey and Ken Biggins, Oklahoma has run the relay in 3:15.8. The record stands at 3:17.6. But Missouri could well have something to say about the race. For three years now the Tigers have won the event. And their topfight quartet of Elmer Klein, Gil Phillips, Bob Schuster, and Randy Vanet could do it again—and in record time.
Kansas State's veteran weightman, Rollin Prater, has bettered both the shot and disc marks. The big man's 53 foot $ \frac{5}{1} $ inch heave at the Kansas Relays exceeded his own $ \frac{5}{1} $ inch $ \frac{5}{1} $ inches also at the Relays, he threw the discs 164 feet $ \frac{9}{2} $ inches, as compared to the record of 160- $ \frac{5}{4} $ .
Two other Kansas State aces could get new marks in the high jump and broad jump. Johnny-come-lately Virgil Severs has gone 6 feet 814 inches in the high jump. Jayhawker Tom Scofield's 1947 record is 6-75%. Wildcat Herb Hoskins has passed the league broad jump mark of 24 feet 8 inches on two occasions. His best leap was 25-23% in a dual meet against Kansas.

Neither team had a particularly potent offense but the Dix Club kept pecking away at the offerings of Carl Lewton, Deuces Wild pitcher, and gradually built up their lead to its final total. Most of their runs were scored via errors, walks, and sincles.

potentially 'dangerous.'
the Phi Kappa Psi B" team ran themselves breathless in a one-team fight over Sigma Chi in a playoff game Wednesday. An eight run first inning for the Phi Psi's gave them a lead which steadily increased to its outlandish proportions. Mahlon Ball, Sigma Chi pitcher, soon discovered that the safest thing to do was to "throw it and duck" as the Phi Psi's boomed sharp hits to every field.
Phi Psi pitcher Dick Mason found his load considerably lightened since he never had to worry about protecting a lead. The winner's left
fielder, Marty Pankratz, made several beautiful catches, not to mention two home runs and a single a bat.
Phi Gamma Delta won its first round "B" playoff with a 14-6 victory over Phi Delta Theta in Wednesday's games. The Phi Gams took advantage of Phi Delt startig
The Sigma Chi team did as well as could be expected in stopping the powerful Phi Psi onslaught. But they were helpless against the blows which seemed as if they would never stop. John Keller, Sigma Chi second baseman, did his best to keep up with the pace by driving out a round-tripper and two singles.
pitcher Bill Root's wildness to score four runs in the first inning and were never headed after that. Root walked numerous men and, coupled with several errors, the Phi Gams found themselves the recipients of several unearned runs.
Buzz Hargis, Phi Gam pitcher, kept the opponent's bats in check with a surprising amount of speed and control. Jim Potts blasted out a home run for the winners. The Phil Deltas kept up a parade of pitchers in their futile attempt to keep the Fiji attack in check. Root was succeeded by Marv Wilhite who in turn gave way to Art Brewster but none could turn the tide.
Corbin, DG Vie For Title
Corbin and Delta Gamma came through Wednesday's semi- final games and will meet as finalists for the second time this year when they play for the softball title next week in the last of the "Big 3" in Women's intramural events. The D.G.'s are out to revenge the loss of the volleyball title to Corbin earlier in the season, while Corbin desires the triple crown for basketball, softball, and volleyball.
-
Corbin's iron "tournament nerves" pulled them to a 14 to 8 victory over Delta Delta Delta and gave them their chance at the three-way title. Handicapped by their understandable fear of Corbin's reputation, the Tri-Deltas went scoreless the first two innings while allowing Corbin 7 runs, most of them on equally unnecessary errors.
When they realized they had a chance the Tri-Delts settled to their normal game and outscored Corbin 8 to 7 in the last three innings, but it was too late. S. Hillyer's home-run for Corbin was an added push to the losers' nervousness. Corbin scored 4, 3, 3, 3, and 1 run in the 5 innings while blanking the Tri-Delts the first two, then allowing 5, 2, and 1 run.
Petterson and Mickelson turned in another winning performance to hand Richmond and Brubaker the defeat.
Delta Gamma nosed past the Jay-ettes 6 to 5 in one of the best games of the year to win their chance at the title. Both teams were strong in all departments, but the D.G.'s held a slight pitching edge.
