MONDAY, MAY 2.1949 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FIVE Giants Defend Leo Durocher Hearing Nears New York, May 2 — (L.P.)— The New York Giants today piled up a stack of eye-witness affidavits defending manager Leo Durocher against charges that he assaulted a fan, and the fiery Lip headed for Cincinnati confident he can make his peace with A. B. Chandler baseball commissioner. Fred Boysen, a 22-year-old unemployed ice cream giant worker who claims that Durocher punched and kicked him after he heckled the Giant manager throughout a game April 28, stuck by his guns. He announced through his attorney that he will file simple assault charges against Durocher today . But the Giants said they have elected "very many" statements from fans who attended the game, all claiming that Durocher did not strike or kick Boysen. Durocher has been suspended by Chandler and ordered to a hearing in Cincinnati tomorrow. He, along with Giant president Horace Stoneham and club publicist Gary Schumacher, were due to leave late today. The giants pointed to two affidavits in particular which they said should prove conclusively that Durocher did not attack or injure Boysen. One was from a fan who attended the game, George Cronk. Cronk said Durocher, without looking, just wiggled his elbow in a manner which knocked Boysen off balance and caused him to fall. "Then," said Cronk, "I tripped over Boysen and I suppose I kicked him. I muttered 'sorry' and kept going. I didn't think anything more of it at the time." The Giants also announced that they have an affidavit from the taxi driver who carried Boysen to Sydenham hospital after the alleged altercation. Kansas Wins 2-Mile Relay At Drake, Upsetting Aggies In one of the biggest upsets at the 40th Drake Relays, the Kansas two-mile quartet of Winton Studt, Hal Hinchee, Bob Karnes, and Pat Bowers won a revenge race with the Oklahoma Aggies. Bowers, Big Seven 880-yard indoor champ, took the baton from Karnes four yards ahead of his nearest competitor and successfully fought off a stretch drive by Cowpoke Harold® Tarrant to win by 15 yards. | It was the first time in the University's history that one of its baton teams has won in the Texas, Kansas, and Drake Relays in one season. Jack Greenwood, long-legged hurdler, was the only individual K.U. entrant to place. He took fourth in the 220-yard hurdles which Dick Ault, Missouri, ran in 24.1 seconds to set a new record. The only other record broken was in the discus when brawny Byrl Thompson of Minnesota sailed the wheel 170 feet, 3 inches. Bowers' victory over Aggie anchorman Tarrant was a personal one for the Jayhawk spohomore. In the Kansas Relays the fleet Oklahoma ran a blinding half-mile to beat out the Kansan by five-tenths of a second as the A. and M. foursome set a new Relays record. Kansas did not run in the order used in Memorial stadium. Coach Bill Easton switched two-mile champion Karnes into the third slot, a change from the usual number one spot. The time was a good 7:45.8 seconds but not a meet mark. At the Kansas Relays the Aggies did the distance in 7:41, more than four seconds better than the old record. Karnes took the first lead for Kansas after Studt and Hinchee had made the opening two carries. The Jayhawker overtook Nebraska's Jim Martin at the head of the back-stetch. Karnes widened the gap between himself an the third-place Aggie to 20 yards, as the Cowpoke runner John Teakel fought to stay in the race. He gave Bowers a four-yard lead over Nebraska and the strong sophomore pulled away. He ambled a steady first quarter while lengthening his lead to 12 yards.

On the final lap he opened up as Aggie Tarrant began to make his bid. Tarrant closed up to second as Nebraska fell back but Bowers' stout closing kick gave Kansas the 15-yard victory. On April 29, the first day of the meet, the K.U. distance medley quartet placed third in the university distance medley relay. Emil Schutzel, Hinchee, Bowers, and Karnes, victors at Texas by a 35-yard margin, carried the mail. Wisconsin, with Don Gehrmann anchoring, blazed out the victory in 10:13.7, three seconds better than their winning time in the K.U. Relaws. Other Big Seven representatives placed in nine events, with Nebraska showing the most power. The Cornhuskers took third in the university 880-yard relay, fourth in the 480-yard high hurdle shuttle relay, fourth in the two-mile relay, fourth in the university sprint medley, fifth in the discus, and fifth in the two-mile. Oklahoma's Bill Carroll placed fourth in the pole vault and the Sooners picked up a fifth in the university sprint medley. FEW PICTURES HAVE RECEIVED SUCH UNANIMOUS PRAISE!

New ROTC Unit To Begin July 1 An engineering R.O.T.C. unit will be activated July 1 at the University to replace the anti-aircraft artillery unit, Col. John Alfrey, professor of military science, said today. Engineering, infantry, and medicine will be the three R.O.T.C. training sections offered next fall. The air force training unit, combined with the army for the past three years, is expected to be made into an independent unit. Engineering students who are juniors in the artillery program will have their choice of attending an artillery, engineering, or infantry camp this summer. Training next fall will continue in the same branch as the summer camp and commissions will be received in that branch. Colonel Alfrey named some exceptions to the above training. A few juniors who have made applications for summer camp in specialized branches such as quartermaster, finance, and ordinance may be accepted. Such applications are sometimes approved when the student's professional training qualifies him for that type of army service, he said.
