Colorado's Silver and Gold wasn't
the only student paper in the Big
Seven to come up with a bit of wish-
ful thinking April 1 concerning
Clyde Lovelette.
Not to be outdone by the Buffs, the Aggies also claimed in big bold headlines, plus a picture, that the big boy would enroll at K-State as soon as possible.
C. E. McBride, Kansas City Star sports editor, had a bit of April foolery poked his way also. Goes to prove that these Aggies have a long memory.
The Minneapolis Lakers walloped Anderson, Ind. Packers Thursday night 90 to 71 to earn the right to meet Syracuse in the National Basketball association championship.
Charlie Black, former All-American for the Jayhawkers, is a forward for the Packers.
Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen was one of the originators of the KU. Relays, April 21 and 22 will mark the silver anniversary of the event. The Jayhawkers dominated their own first Relays by winning the 440 and 880-yd relay, the broad jump and high jump.
Track Coach Bill Easton will be shooting for at least one K.U. Relays record. The four-mile relay team of Cliff Abel, Captain Bob Karnes, Herb Semper, and Pat Bowers stepped the distance in 17:20.9 at the Texas Relays. This is 16.9 seconds better than the present record. Illinois set the standard in '31.
Coach J. V. Sikes will send his charges through another practice game Saturday starting at 1:30 p.m.
All Big Seven football games are supposed to start at that time this season.
Coach Sikes has juggled the squad in order to pit the best defensive team against the best offensive.
Sandelius Will Address Group In Texas Saturday
Professor Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science will speak to the Southwestern Political Science association in Houston, Texas Saturday. His speech will deal with problems that face the modern political scientist. Professor Sandelius left for Houston Thursday evening.
This Golf Game Is Getting Rough
What started out to be a friendly game of golf ended up with one of the participants on crutches. Jack Robison, senior in the School of Business, decided to play a quick nine holes Wednesday with his brother-in-law Cal Markwell on the local country club course.
On the first hole Robison drew back for what he hoped would be a record breaking drive. He took a mighty swing but missed the ball completely. The force of his swing dislocated his knee and flung him to the ground. When he hit the earth his knee popped back into place but the damage was done. A doctor said however that he would be off the crutches in a week or so.
Allen To Call Spring Drills
Next year's Jayhawker basketball team, the one that K.U.'s next athletic director, Arthur "Dutch" Lonborg has tagged "a team that could win the national title," begins practice sessions immediately after spring vacation. The workouts will continue to the end of the present semester.
Coach Phog Allen plans on a powerful team for 1950-51 with only four lettermen lost from this year's co-championship squad. Captain Claude Houchin, Gene Petersen, Harold England, and Guy Mabry are the graduating seniors who have completed their careers on the University of Kansas hardwoods.
Spearheaded by Clyde Lovellelette Kansas' All-Big Seven center, and Captain Jerry Waugh, playing his fourth year on the varsity, the Jayhawks will gradually swing into full-scale operations under the watchful eye of Coach Allen. Several players are at present engaged in spring football practice and will not be available until early May. They are Dean Wells, Aubrey Linville, Lyn Smith, Jerry Bogue, and Bill Schaake. Charley Hoag, a freshman standout, is also playing football but will report to Doctor Allen as soon as possible.
Five of the first six players will be available, namely, Lovellette, Waugh, Bill Houghland, Bill Lienhard, and Bob Kenney. Only Houchin is missing from the past season's starting five. Working alongside these men will be varsity reserves and the freshman squad.
K. U.'s most outstanding woman athlete returned to Lawrence Thursday before leaving for Topeka to play an exhibition golf match. Auburn-haired, blue-eyed Marilyn Smith, who attended K.U. in 1948 and 1949, is the youngest professional woman golfer in the United States.
'Smitty' Returns For Golf Match
She gave up her amateur standing in July of 1949 and took a job as promotional representative for the A.G. Spaulding company. Traveling more than 35,000 miles since July, the personality-packed athlete has toured more than 20 states playing exhibition matches, and holding golf clinics.
By BUD RODGERS
"My primary interest," said Martyn. "is to promote women's golf at colleges all over the country." She has instructed girls on the fundamentals of the sport at the University of California, University of Washington, Kansas State college, University of Florida, and many others.
Ever smiling as she told of her golf career, the vivacious 20-year-old retarked that she was invited to play golf with Bing Crosby while on the West Coast, but due to a picture commitment the crooner was unable to keep the appointment.
In addition to her promotional efforts, Marilyn has played in numerous exhibition matches and national golf tournaments. The most exciting tournament match, she recounted, was the title holders at Augusta, Ga., the past summer. Marilyn was entered with some of the toughest competition in the country, including Babe Zaharias, Patty Berg, Louise Suggs, and Marlene Bauer, who was voted the outstanding amateur athlete of the year. Marilyn was two shots behind Miss Berg and was fourth among the six professionals entered in the match.
This has not bothered Marilyn too much, however, as she is one of the five women golfers in the country who has been invited to play in the Celebrity tournament at Washington D.C., June 3 and 4. Not only will she be playing against Bing,
but also Bob Hope, Dwight Eisenhower, and other high government personnel.
"This tournament," said Marilyn, "is one of the outstanding in the country, and I am terribly excited about having been invited." Marilyn said she had always wanted to play at the celebrity match, but never believed her wish would be fulfilled.
Since turning professional the peppy young lass from Wichita has won over $750 in tournament play, and drives around the country in a new Dodge which A.G. Spaulding company gave her.
During her two years at KU. Marilyn became one of the best-liked and most active girls on the campus. She was a physical education major and participated in field hockey, intramural basketball and badminton. She also swims a powerful backstroke and swings a mean tennis racket. Marilyn is a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and was elected president of her sophomore class and president of the 1948 Junior Pan-Hellenic.
While in Lawrence, this remarkable athlete has visited a lot of friends and faculty members. "It's always a great thrill," she exclaimed, "to get back to such an outstanding school as KU."
Marilyn has a packed schedule for the remainder of the year. After playing an exhibition match in Topeka today she will leave for Sedalia, Mo., then will go to Stephens college, Columbia, Mo., and on to Philadelphia for two weeks.
When asked how she liked traveling from state to state, and playing golf for a living, the enthusiastic athlete said, "Golf is a wonderful
Stalcup Leaves MU For Michigan State
Wilbur "Sparky" Stalcup today was named to take over the basketball coaching reins at Michigan State college. Stalcup, a veteran of (5 years) college coaching, left Missouri for the Lansing, Mich. campus.
Of the Big Ten teams that leaves only Purdue university without a coach. Mel Taube resigned as basketball coach at Purdue last week, but remained on the campus to direct the baseball team and also teach physical education.
Northwestern replaced Arthur "Dutch" Lonborg, recently appointed K.U. athletic director, with Harold G. Olsen, 24 year veteran of the Bie Ten from Ohio State.
High Jump Field Is Best In Relays' History
Bob Gordon, Missouri—one of the best high jumpers in Tiger history. Shared Big Seven Indoor title with Severn's with a leap of 6 feet 3 inches.
Virgin Severs, Kansas State latest Wildcat field sensation who shared first place and a new record of 6 feet $ \frac{8}{4} $ inches with Jack Razzetto of San Diego State April 1 at the Texas Relays.
Jack Heintzman, Bradley—a veteran campaigner who has consistently placed high in the nation's major meets.
Dick Jones, Oklahoma - Sooner sophomore sensation whose first place-tying leap of 6 feet $5 \frac{1}{2}$ inches at the Oklahoma A. and M. Relays is the third best in O.U. history.
In marked contrast much is expected from this year's high jump corps when it hits the takeoff in the Silver Anniversary of the Relays, here Saturday April 22. Eight leapers who have cleared 6 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches or better are slated to compete. Given a break by the weather man, they will seriously imperil Walters' one-year-old mark.
The 1949 Kansas Relays high jump field wasn't supposed to produce any fireworks. But Bobby Walters, an unheralded performer from Texas, not only notched a new record of 6 feet 8-3-16 inches but walked off with the day's "most outstanding athlete award."
Here is the information Bob Walters, Texas-defending champion who broke an 11-year-old Relais record the past year.
Vern McGrew, Rice — another veteran who was a member of the 1948 United States Olympic team.
Here is the lineup:
W. F. Davis, Texas A. and M.- tied for first place at the Border Olympics at 6 feet $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $ inches.
Of this contingent Sevens, the elongated Aggie, is perhaps the most outstanding. This Norton High school product is one of those rare performers who changed from one event to another, unrelated to the first, with marked improvement. Two years ago he was a two-miller for coach Ward Haylett.
Olympic Berry, Arkansas—tied Jones for first place at the Oklahoma A. and M. Relays.
Severns was only fair as a distance runner and Haylett needed a high-jumper to round out the club's field strength. Severns had jumped 5 feet 11 inches in high school so the job was his. He climbed 6 feet as a freshman and improved an inch and a half the past year. Now as a junior he shares the nation's highest jump of 1950 with his effort at Austin.
at Adkins.
McGrew and Heintman are two of the nation's better hands. The former's best to date this year is 6 feet 6 inches, which was good for no better than a third place tie at Texas. He got a first place tie at the Border Olympics at 6 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches. He was second behind Walters at the West Texas Relays. Two years ago he won the final Olympic trials at 6 feet $8\frac{1}{4}$ inches although he failed to place in the world games at London. His best the past year
Heintzman also tied for second at Texas and tied for first at the Chicago Indoor Relays in March. Touring Europe with an American track troupe the past year he cleared 6 feet 6 3-4 inches for his top effort of the summer. He was second in the National A.A.U. and fourth in the N.C.A.A.
was 6 feet 6 inches which earned second place in the N.C.A.A.
This shapes up as the best jump field in the 25 year old history of the Jayhawker games.
