Trackmen From Kansas Show Well In Texas Relays
Austin, Texas, knew trackmen from the state of Kansas were in town March 31 and April 1 for the Texas Relays.
The Kansas Jayhawkers—led by All-American Pat Bowers—ran off with three relay titles, a second place in the high hurdles, fourth place in the meet, and one new record.
Country - cousin Kansas State—relying on individual performers in field events—surprised by taking one title, two first-place ties, a second place, two ties for seconds, a share of a new record, and a tie for second in the meet.
To make the meet a success for the Sunflower state, Bowers was named "outstanding performer of the relays." Bowers was little less than amazing as he clipped off a 1:52 half-mile. 3:02.4 three-quarters and a 4:16 mile.
KU. got its victories in the distance medley, two-mile, and four-mile relays. Jack Greenwood was the runner-up in the hurdles after posting the best qualifying time of 14.5.
The Jayhawkers' new record came in the four-mile event, Coord Bill Easton's team finishing in 17:20.9. The national intercollegiate record is 17:16.1. In establishing the new mark, the Kansans thoroughly crumbled the former meet mark of 17:40.1 set by Illinois in 1929. It had been the oldest record in the meet's book.
The K.U. record-smashing four-some was Cliff Abel, Captain Bob Karnes, Herb Semper, and Bowers. Although Karnes, anchor man of the quartet, was just recovering from a bout with the flu and a slight leg injury, he had little to worry about in the final leg as his teammates handed him a 50-yard lead.
The same four were good for the 2-mile title with a time of 7:46, three seconds off the record held by a Drake team which set the mark when Easton was coach at the Iowa school.
Semper was expected from the above four and Bob Devinney added to make up the winning K.U. distance medley team. The Jayhawkers' time was 10.21.9.
Other Kansas entries were in the mile relay, sprint medley relay, high jump, and discus. Although Jayhawkers Emil Schutzel, Dave Fisher, Greenwood, and Devinney produced the fastest time—31.9.8—an Easton-coached K.U. mile relay squad has ever run, they finished out of the money.
That foursome also made up the K.U. sprint medley entry which won its heat but did not place.
Kansas high jumps Del Norris and Bill Richardson found plenty
Blues Win Intra-Squad Game
In a serimimage which was described by Coach J.V. Sikes as "not very good" the Blues pounded out a 24 to 18 win over the Reds Saturday in the second intra-squad football game of the spring.
It was the second win in as many
Saturdays for the Blue team. The
Blues trounced the Reds 42 to 6 on
March 25.
Henry Lamping, junior halfback, scored three times to lead the Blue attack. His 5-yard smash over left tackle late in the game broke an 18 to 18 tie and provided the clincher for the Blues. Galen Fiss, freshman fullback, accounted for the other Blue touchdown on a 19-yard sprint up the middle.
The Reds never led but fought from behind three times to tie the game. Early in the game three Red drives were halted inside the Blue 25-yard line. Lackus Lachen, freshman guard, and Fiss were defensive standouts for the Blues in stopping these surges of the Reds.
Lamping put the Blues out in front in the first five minutes of the game when he circled right end for 5 yards after taking a pitchout. The Reds evened the count on a 10-yard sweep by freshman halfback Charlie Hoag with a Jerry Bogue pitchout.
The tie was short-lived for on the first play from scrimmage after Hoag's touchdown Lamping raced 70 yards down the middle to give the Blue team the lead again. Lamping's run was the longest of the two hour scrimmage.
