Three KU-MU Records Should Fall
Kansas and Missouri track teams have built an impressive set of records in their 43 dual meets that date back to 1901. In fact, five of the 15 K.U.-M.U. meet records exceed the Big Seven conference marks. But even so sterling a set of standards as these will likely be partially rewritten Saturday when the Jayhawkers and Tigers meet at Columbia.
Three records seem sure to fall if weather is not too inclement. And no one would be too surprised should at least three more be altered.
The marks destined to be rewritten are those in the 880-yard run, two-mile run, and high jump.
Kansas All-American Pat Bowers makes a habit of breaking records. His latest was a 1:53.2 half-mile in the Kansas-Kansas State dual the past Saturday. The K.U.-M.U. mark is 1:55, so Bowers is likely to shatter it.
In what promises to be a great race, Kansans Herb Semper and
Cliff Abel will tangle with Missourians Bill McGuire and Robert Fox in the two-mile run. Semper, a sensation as a sophomore, has a best time of 9:21.3 which he produced against Kansas State. McGuire, usually at his best in the mile, started the best of them when he ran 9:16.2 in a near blizzard at the Drake relays. Close behind him was Fox. Semper passed up the open event to help Kansas win the four-mile relay. So there is little doubt that the present 9:40.7 dual record will not be in existence a year from now.
After a good indoor season in which he gained a tie for the Big Seven championship, Bob Gordon of Missouri is in form in the high jump. In his last outing he cleared 6 feet 6 inches. The meet record is 6 feet $4^{1/2}$ inches. With Jayhawkers Del Norris and Bill Richardson pressing him, Gordon ought to get a new standard.
Events where the records might fall are the 440-yard dash, mile relay, and 120-yard high hurdles.
of quarter-milers, of one them. Elmer Kline, is co-holder of the meet record of: 48.8. And he may come out of Saturday's fractas with a new mark all to himself. He will be pressed by teammate Jim Whitacre and Jayhawkers Emil Schutzel and Jim Dinsmore.
Missouri always has a good crop
In his first outdoor start of the season, the preliminaries of the Texas Relays, Kansas Jack Greenwood zipped over the high hurdles in :14.5. Although he hasn't done too well since then, he still rates a chance to crack the existing meet mark of :14.7.
At the Kansas Relays the Missouri mile-relay team finished a creditable third to Rice whose record-breaking time was 3:15. The meet record is 3:19.7. That makes it appear as though the Tigers could set a new mark if they wanted to.
In 1830, the first locomotive built in the United States to pull passengers puffed 13 miles over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It weighed six tons and was called the Tom Thumb.
Sig Ep's Cinch Tie By Downing Beta's
Fletcher Bell pitched six hit ball Wednesday to lead his Sigma Phi Epsilon team to a rousing 13-1 victory over Beta Theta Pi in an "A" game. The win insured the Sig Epos of a tie for the division championship with a record of four wins and one defeat. It was Beta's first loss and left them with a 3-1 record.
Bell had complete control of the game although the Beta's touched him or four hits and one run in the fifth inning.
Sig Ep pounded out 14 hits including a home run and single by second baseman Don Wright. Right fielder Ernie Shank got a triple and two singles in four trips.
The Sig Alphs were unable to fathom Phi Gam pitcher Shelby Smith's fast ball until the seventh and last inning when they rallied for four runs. Doug Gill, Sig Alpha third baseman, led the hitting with a homer and single in four tries. Second baseman Bob Thompson contributed three singles in four trips.
Phil Gamma Delta pulled themselves into a first place tie by defeating Sigma Alpha Epsilon 10-7 in an "A" game Wednesday. The game was tied at 1-1 going into the fifth inn when the Phi Gams unlimbered up their bats and carved themselves a 5-1 lead. A five run spurred in the next inning gave them their margin of victory.
