PAGE FIVII
By BOB LEONARD
Now that the smoke has cleared away from the red-hot Bradley contest, we can stop and get a clearer view of the situation.
K-State came through with a good sporting gesture by sending Dr. Allen and his team a telegram congratulating them on the brand of play shown against the Braves. It seems strange for us to praise the Wildcats, but we want to do just that now. It was quite a change from the demonstrations displayed by the Manhattan group previous to the game. Even Jack Gardner gave us a big smile during our pep rally in the Hotel Muechlebach before gametime.
The Kansas City Star reports that it would have been a glorious night for Kansas had the Jayhawkers come through. It was a "glorious" night for KU. Dr. Allen's club played the game to the hilt up to the time the last buzzer sounded. They did come through. They represented the Big Seven conference brilliantly and have no cause to be ashamed. It is no disgrace to lose by two points to the nation's top team.
Gene Melchiorre, 5 foot 8¼ inch highly-published Bradley guard, was an excellent ball handler but he failed to hit a field goal against the close - guarding Jayhawkers. K. U.fans may long remember another small player, 5 foot 10 inch Bud Heineman of Missouri, who netted 17 points in the first half of the K.U.-M.U. game here Feb. 17. It took Harold England in the final period of that contest to put out the fire. England held little Heineman to three points in that last half, much to the relief of Dr. Allen and company.
Bradley star Paul Unruh clinched the game for the Braves when he poured in three field goals when the game was nearing the finish. He scored 18 points on eight goals and two free throws.
Plywood, Rods, Twine, Make An 'Easy' Chair
Delaware, O.—U.F.)—Tired of sitting in chairs that were designed to look at, William Green, instructor at Ohio Wesleyan University, has designed a chair for comfort alone.
The new chair is simply designed, composed of four pieces of plywood, four rods and a quarter-of-a-mile of fisherman's net twine.
It is now on display in the university's Lyon Art hall and has won campus-wide approval except for a few critics partial to the softness of overstuffed chairs.
Gets Drunk In Jail
Knoxville, Tenn. — (U.P.) - Toynia Nina Annamarino denied to the judge that she was guilty of misconduct when she was picked up by officers here. She did make one admission. "They locked me up with a pint on me, and I got drunk in jail," she said.
Fourteen Past Kansas Relays' Referees Invited To Return For Silver Anniversary
Fourteen past referees of the Kansas Relays will be invited back to the track carnival they once headed here April 21 and 22 when Midwest spiked-shoe artists unravel the Silver anniversary of the event in Memorial stadium.
This roster, which has featured some of the greatest names in American athletics, will include Harry Gill, former Illinois track coach; Tom Jones, former Wisconsin coach; Avery Brundage, past president of the National A.A.U.; Ossie Solem, former Drake football coach; A. A. Stagg, former Chicago football coach; George T. Bresnahan, former Iowa track coach; Clyde Littlefield, present Texas coach; C. N. Metcalf, formerly at Iowa State, now Chicago Athletic director; Frank Hill, present Northwestern track coach; Jim Kelly, present Minnesota track coach; Glenn Cunningham, one of the Jay-hawkers' all-time greats and formerly coach at Cornell, Iowa college; John Jacobs, Oklahoma; Pottels, Colorado, and Ward Haylett, Kansas State.
The late Major John L. Griffith, former Drake athletic director and Big Ten conference commissioner, is the only man in Relays history to serve three referee assignments. Bresnahan and Jones both filled the job twice as did the late Henry Schulte, former Nebraska track coach.
Two famous football tutors, Knute Rockeel of Notre Dame, and Fielding Yost, Michigan, both deceased, were the meet's referees in 1925 and 1926, respectively. The late Louis C. Mederia III, of Penn, was the carnival's first major official in 1923.
All past officials, coaches and participants also are being invited to return for the twenty-fifth running of the Mt. Oread Olympics.
The Relays were founded by the late Dr. John Outiand and Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, then K.U. athletic director as well as basketball coach, in 1923. World War II knocked out three meets in 1943, 1944, and 1945, which accounts for the delay in reaching the twenty-five year pole.
Down through the years, the Relays have cut widest impressions in the special mile run, an event stemming from Cunningham's prominence, an annual decathlon, which has produced two Olympic champions, and an expanded card of events during Olympic years.
Such greats as Archie San Romani, Emporia Teachers; Gene Venkle, Penn; Chuck Fenske, Wisconsin, Jerry Thompson, Texas; and the Rideout twins from North Texas
Allen Voices Thanks To All Who Helped In Bradley Game
KU Entry Places 4th In Trapshooting
A lone representative of the University competed in the trapshoot at the Lawrence Gun club Sunday. First year law student Odd Williams dropped 83 out of 100 birds in the 100 bird handicap race to place fourth in a field of 17. Shooting was hampered by sleet, high winds, and low temperature. Topeka trapshooter walked off with the two main prizes. John DeLong, Floyd Young and Henry Peters were the leaders.
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen made the following statement of general thanks in connection with the recent National Collegiate Athletic association's fifth district basketball play-off between Bradley university and the K.U. Jayhawkers:
"I want to unstintingly thank the magnificent band of Russell Wiley and the unexcelled work of the fine cheer leaders for their stellar contributions to the great fight put up by our Kansas basketball kids.
"I also want to thank our Kansas alumni, and the citizens of our town, which, of course, include the Journal-World and University Dally Kansan.
"The unquenchable fight of our young gang against the Associated Press' number one rated team of the nation, Friday, was an inspiration. Of course we made many mistakes, as was anticipated. But we never quit fighting. It was magnificent fight and courage exhibited every second up to the bitter end.
"The memory of our success and our failures this season will always conjure up a long chain of happy and unforgettable reveries as we go on down the trail in our remaining years."
"It is such whole-hearted enthusiasm that makes living in Law-
tence a great joy. It was the Chinese philosopher who said, 'I am not sure whether I am dreaming life or living dreams.'
State. Blaine and Wayne, have competed in the mile here along with Cunningham. Latest in the glittering line is Wisconsin's N.C.A.A. champion, Don Gehrmann, who tied Blaine Rideout's record of 4:10.1 here the past April.
KU.'s Jim Bauch was the meet's first of two Olympic decathlon kings, winning the Relays all-around event in '31 and '32 and the world crown at Los Angeles the latter year. Carrying the colors of the Denver AC, Glenn Morris, former Colorado athlete, set a record of 7576 points here in '36 before moving on to Berlin to capture the Olympic title.
Oklahoma's Tom Churchill, winner of the first Relays' decathlon in 1928, and Buster Charles, the Oneida brave from Haskell, who won the 1930 title, also earned United States Olympic team berths.
Topmost among recent aces have been, along with Gehrmann, Michigan's Charlie Fonville and Harrison Dillard, the Golden Hummingbird
of Baldwin-Wallace, who both set world records here in 1948. Fonville pegged the shot more than 58 feet while Dillard was skimming the 120-ward high hurdles in 13.6.
Only change in this year's program will find teams in both college and university classes limited to six entries in any relay. Any four of these may run. Teams previously had been allowed to enter any number of men they wished.
Eastland, Texas — (U.P.) — Donald Martin, 14, was tagged by classmates last year as "the most fractured freshman of the year," after accidents that brought him an injured leg, fractures of both arms and a brain concussion. Now he has been laid up with chicken pox.
All individual winners and winning university relay foursomes will receive Kansas Relays wristwatches. College class relay winners will be awarded clocks. The decathlon winner and most outstanding athlete will receive plaques as well as watches.
