Four Spares Win Pin Title
A hot-shooting Four Spares team easily defeated Oread hall No 1 to win the intramural bowling championship Thursday at the Lawrence Pladium. The winners took the first two games in the best two of three match.
The Four Spares bettered their season team average of 605 pins by 84 a game in registering the victory. The Oread team bowled its average, but it was not enough. Total scores of the two games were 656 to 585 and 726 to 607.
Dick Richards scored scores of 181 and 200 to lead the Four Spares' hit parade. Following Richards were Harry Lohrengel, who had games of 185 and 172; Jay Nixon, 159 and 197; and Drexil Forkner, 131 and 157.
Jack Williams led the Oread pintoppers with games of 173 and 193. Dick Heiny had scores of 157 and 134; Gerald Le Blanc, 141 and 150; and Ray Bolsenga, who was off his game, 94 and 110.
The regular season play was divided into four leagues with the first and second place teams in each league entering the eight-team elimina-

Member of the 1949 College All-America Track and Field team. Pat Bowers is one of the Midwest's finest trackmen. A driving strider who never lets up, the black-haired 145-pound senior is one of K.U.'s greatest runners.
740-911 Mass.
Capable of running any distance from the quarter-mile to the mile, Pat turns in his most outstanding performance in the half-mile. Invited to run in the Sugar bowl at New Orleans during the past Christmas vacation, Pat came up with the fastest half-mile ever run in the South. He was timed at 1:53, beating the record which had been held since 1941 by Campbell Kane of Indiana
Attesting to the ability and endurance of this speedster is the fact that he has shattered 17 records while at K.U. His best time for the half-mile is 1:51.2 which he ran at the N.C.A.L. in Los Angeles in 1949. The national collegiate record is 1:50.3.
At the Nebraska-K.U. indoor dual meet held this February, the fleet-footed Jayhawker broke his own 880-yard record of the previous year with a time of 1:56.9. Setting still another new mark, Pat turned in a 1:56.1 at the Oklahoma-K.U. indoor dual. He also broke his own record at the Missouri-K.U. indoor.
Pat added further to his laurels at the Big Seven conference indoor meet in Kansas City this month when he set a new conference record breaking the one he had established in 1949.
Pat is a fine arts senior from Chicago and a member of Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity. When asked how he became interested in track, he jokingly revealed that he used to race street cars in Chicago.
After spending a year and a half at Drake university, Des Moines, Iowa, Pat came to K.U. in February

of 1948 and began his sterling track career which has ranked him with Glenn Cunningham and other all-time great distance runners.
Not unlike Cunningham, Bowers is a long, hard strider who holds a blistering pace all the way. Pat doesn't carry a sprinting kick at the finish as do many middle distance runners, but keeps the steam-guage high all the way. Yet if there are any challengers left in the final back-stretch they usually go down for the count when Bowers lets out the last notch going to the tape.
Bill Easton, his coach, saves simply,
"Pat is a track man's track man. He
is a tough competitor, hard worker
and a boy of highest character."
But Pat is not only an outstanding athlete for he wields a paint brush as deftly as he runs the 880. He painted the Jayhawkers in the Kansas room of Watson library and has

A member of Sachem, senior men's honor society. Pat has maintained a 2.25 grade point average and is a candidate for membership in Delta Phi Delta, national honorary art fraternity.
A South Dakota university coed is now wearing Pat's Phi Gam pin and he has reluctantly revealed plans for engagement to her during Easter vacation. He is the third of five Bowers sons, all of whom are or have been trackmen.
Pat's present plans are to graduate after the summer session and then continue his education by doing the work. Teaching art is his ultimate goal.
