Track Fans Leave Too Soon To See KU Win
Just about everyone at the K.U.-Nebraska dual track meet in Memorial stadium April 15 left after the mile relay was run. And they thought Nebraska had won the meet 68 to 63. A few stayed around 15 minutes longer and watched Kansas actually win the meet 66 to 65.
Jayhawkner sophomore Al Bouchard came up with a second place in the broad jump—only event not completed before the relay was run—to account for the surprise K.U. victory. The delay in completing the broad jump was due to Bouchard's running the 220-yard low hurdles a few minutes before the relay. Officials allowed him a breathing spell before taking his final jumps.
Three meet records fell and two more were equalled with good weather helping out.
Sensational Herb Semper, Kansas sophomore, breezed through the two-mile run in 9:23.4—not only a new meet mark, but also a new K. U. record. Semper clipped the meet meet mark. 9:55.3 set by Jay-Hawker Ed Fortune in 1930, by almost 32 second. The former school record was 9:28 by Bob Karnes in 1948.
Two Nebraskans accounted for meet records. Loyal Huribert lowered his 1949 mark of 49.3 in the 440-yard dash to an even 49. Don Cooper raised the pole vault record to 13 feet $4 \%$ inches. Cooper barely to make 14 feet.
Kansas' Jack Greenwood equalled both of the hurdle marks he set a year ago.
Few of the races were close enough to stir the crowd very much. Each team gave here and took there.
Coach Bill Easton's twin terrors, Captain Bob Karnes and All-American Pat Bowers, were in their usual
good form. They trotted in for a 4:19.3 dead-heat victory in the mile run. Bowers won the 880-yard run in 1:54.6 with Karnes in third behind teammate Cliff Abel for one of K.U.'s two sweeps of the day. Jayhawkers also finished 1-2-3 in the two-mile.
Sophomore Bob Devinney was the real Kansas workhorse. Devinney ran second in the 100-yard dash, third in the 120-yard high hurdles only minutes later, first in the 220-yard dash, but finished out of the money in the 220-yard low hurdles just after his furlong victory.
Husker Huriburt gave one of Nebraska's better performances of the meet with a good 48.8 anchor leg in the mile relay.
The meet was the first dual for both teams in the 1950 outdoor season.
The summary:
and Bob Karnes (tie), Kansas; 3. Lee Moore, N. Time-4:19.3.

Baseball Plans Gala Opening Day
New York, April 17—(U.P.) Clearing skies punctured the gloom over the big league baseball map today, lending hope that there can be a gala beginning to the combined diamond-golden jubilee season of the majors Tuesday afternoon.
Most of the clubs went through their final paces in exhibition games yesterday in bright but crisp weather and even though temperatures still are expected to be below normal in the East and Midwest, there is likely to be little of the rain, snow, fog, cloudiness, and generally miserable conditions that have plagued the athletes for the past two weeks.

than the usual significance because the venerable National league—cornerstone of organized baseball—is observing its 75th continuous year of operation. The American league which came into existence a quarter of a century later, then promptly made up few lost time, will be opening up its 50th year.
The white-haired leader of the Philadelphia Athletics will be observing his own golden jubilee year

pesky Phillies who bothered them no end all last year and who extended them into hectic 10-inning final before Brooklyn was able to up its pennant campaign successfully in the last day of last season.
In both leagues the champion teams will take up tomorrow exactly where they wound up in the 1949 seasons. The Yankees go to Boston to play the Red Sox in a renewal of hostilities that found them winning two in a row from the Bean Town Belters at the finish of the 1949 race to win the American league flag.

At Washington, where President Truman will make the opening of the season "official" by throwing out the first ball an hour after most of the other big league games have begun, there will be poignant memories of a glorious past and sentimental support for one of baseball's grandest gentlemen. 86-year-old Connie Mack.
The Cardinals are doing something different. They're opening up at night, the first club in the majors ever to do so. They play the Pirates who have little else to boast about but Ralph Kiner.
but Ralph Rimer. The clubs that have fought it out for last place the past two years in the National, the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs, play in the other opener at Cincinnati.
There is more than the usual interest attached to the New York opener between the Braves and the Giants because these teams engaged in baseball's biggest off-season trade and both managers feel they got the better of it.
In the other American league openers, the Tigers and Indians who have long been mutual rivals and who are both legitimate flag contenders this year, open up at Cleveland while two second division weaklings, the Browns and White Sox are hoping to launch better days at Chicago.
