MU Wins Third Outdoor Title Kansas Takes Close Fourth
A cloudy sky and a wet track did not spoil the Missouri Tigers' aim for their third consecutive Big Seven outdoor track title at Lincoln, as they racked up 113 13-45 points to top second running Colorado by a wide margin. Nebraska placed third and Kansas was a close fourth.
top through second and third place points to win the team title.
The Tigers could muster only two first place winners during the afternoon, but picked up enough second and third place points to win the mer Klein.
Three double winners were the feature of the outdoor carnival, which was loaded with surprise upsets and many close and exciting finishes, and despite the rain soaked track, the Big Seven boys were able to post good times in every event.
Outstanding among the double winners was Kansas' captain, Bob Karnes, who won both the mile and the two mile distances. Karnes fought off a determined teammate, Hal Hinchee, and Missouri's Bill McGuire in the mile to win by only a few feet in the 4:19.9. He came back later to nose out George Fitzmorris in the two mile.
The two mile was almost as close as a 100 yard dash, with Fitzmorris and McGuire showing the way during most of the first seven laps, until Karnes took over on the final 440 yards. Even then the K.U. star had to go all out to win, finishing only a few feet ahead of the field.
Other double winners were Colorado sprint star, Don Campbell, who won both the 100 yard dash, and the 220, and Rollin Prather of Kansas State, who continued to keep his hold on the shot put and discus titles for the second straight year.
Campbell measured the century in the last time of :3.6, more than three yards ahead of second place Rod McClay of K-State. Later Campbell returned to win the 220 yard dash in :22.6. Running on a curve over two giant water puddles, Campbell's time was considered good.
On his second throw, Rollin Prather hit 51 feet 6 inches to take the shot put, and tossed the discus 152 feet 5 inches for his second title.
Bowers thrills Crowd
Pat Bowers showed why he is considered toughest hauler in the Big Seven and he literally walked off and left the field in the 880. Bowers jumped into the lead around the first curve and seemed to increase his lead with almost every step. He finished far ahead of second place Bob Bosworth to win in 1:541.
Only one meet record fell by the way. That mark was picked off by Oklahoman Bill Carroll in the pole vault. Lanky Carroll jumped 14 feet 1 inch and bettered the mark of 14 feet 5-8 inches set by Cornhusker Harold Hunt in 1927.
As the pole vault was held indoors along with the shot put, broad jump, and high jump, Carroll's record leap had to be voted upon by the conference coaches. They quickly voted in favor of the mark.
One of the big thrills of the afternoon was the 440-yard dash. Missouri had four men in the final with Tiger stars Dick Ault and Elmer Kline favored to battle it out with Nebraska runner Loyal Hurlburt. But as the runners came into the final straight-away, dark horse Gil Phillips of Missouri sprinted up from sixth position in Kentucky Derby style to win over Hurlburt by inches. His time was 49.3. Emil Schutzle of Kansas finished sixth to give the Javahawks one point.
Earl Elliott, K-State's sharp hurdle, stepped out ahead of Jayhawker Jack Greenwood to take the 110 high hurdles in 14.4. Greenwood held his own during the first eight hurdles, but Elliott finished strong to win.

Sergeant Is Busy Man
No coach had more reason to be proud of his men at the Big Seven meet than Bill Easton. The Jayhawkers' performance was somewhat of a credit to the University, the coach, and the team, and although they finished only fourth, just 2:45 of a point behind Nebraska, they helped to supply many of the biggest thrills of the meet.
By DARELL NORRIS
For instance, there was Bob Karnes' double victory in the mile and two mile distances. Both were close wins over determined foes. Karnes' performance was chosen as the outstanding of the day by the Big Seven coaches, and the dark haired star was awarded the Henry Schulte Memorial award for his two wins.
Karnes' double win takes on added significance when one remembers that he pulled the same trick in the outdoor meet a year ago. Rollin Prather of K-State also was a double winner for the second straight year.
The two Kansas schools, K.U and K-State seem to have a corner on the Henry Schulte memorial award for the outstanding performer of the meet. Tmo Scofield, Kansas great high jumper, won it in 1947, Rollin Frather walked off with it in 1948, and Karnes cooped it this year.
Then there is Hal Hinchee, who has been running the half-mile for K.U. Hal entered the mile run and finished a strong second behind teammate Karnes. Hinchee held off the last lap drive of Missouri's Bill McGuire along with Karnes in one of the best races of the afternoon.
Kansas registered three other second place spots. Little Bruce Henoch got off a throw of better than 183 feet to place second behind Jack Todd of Colorado, and Jack Greenwood, sophomore hurdler, narrowly missed winning the hit from Earl Eller of K-State. Elliott's 16-foot track, and Greenwood was not more than a yard behind. Greenwood also placed second in the 220 yard low hurdles behind Tiger Duck Ault.
The outstanding solo award of the meet probably should go to K.U.'s star half-miler, Pat Bower, because he was so far ahead of the field in his speciality. Pat's race was thrilling to watch. With perfect unbroken stride he went the two times around the oval in a blistering pace which left the other runners over 25 yards behind at the finish.
Other Kansas performers to place were Bob Kline, who took fourth in the discus, Emil Schutzle, who ran sixth in the 440, Dave Briedenthal, who ran sixth in the two mile, and Bill Richardson who tied for third in the high jump.
The meet scorers suffered quite a set back when nine men tied for third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. This made a total of 1¼ points each for nine men, no easy task for even the best mathematician. Herman Wilson also placed in a five way tie for sixth in the pole vault.

New York, May 23—(U.P.)—At 86 your dreams are more likely to be of the past than of the future—but not so today with Connie Mack.
Mack Still Dreams Of Pennant And This May Be His Year
The lean, gray leader of the Philadelphia Athletics had his rampaging white elephants up in second place in the American League pennant race.
Only this time it was something like a prayer.
For the sands are running low on the tall tactician who 67 years ago came out of East Brookfield, Mass, to baseball immortality.
Some will say that he has had more than his share—nine pennants and five world championships. Yet no one would brudge one final bit of glory to the man who has devoted his life to the game since the long-ago day when a slatty catcher named Cornelius McGill-uddy found his niche in life.
For the last 15 years have been hard on "Mr. Baseball," nothing like the previous 50. He spaced his victories pretty well before that and the fans never got too down on him. It hasn't been that way of late.
Because Connie hasn't had a winner since 1931 and they said that the parade had passed him by.
They were great years in 1920.
continued his rabbit-like broad jumping when he leaped 24 feet 3 inches for his win in the broad jump.
"Just one more pennant."
The first three winners in each event of the Big Seven meet will go to Kansas City's Wyandotte high school field June 3 for a meet with the first three winners of the Southwest Conference meet. Two years ago the Southerners met the meet by a single point, and last year the affair ended in a tie. This year it looks as if the Big Seven performers may have enough power to top the Southwest stars.
And once again the grand old man of the diamond was demanding:
"Just one more request."
Passion, fury and titanic conflict thundering from the peaks of the savage Sierría Madre!
