Eleven Will Carry KU Hopes In Two-Day Drake Relays
Eleven Kansas tracksters will represent K.U. at the Drake Relays tomorrow and Saturday. Chief contenders will be the prize four-mile relay squad, the distance medley and two-mile relay teams, and Jack Greenwood, hurdler, Coach Bill Easton indicated.
Easton is not sure yet exactly what relay events the Jayhawkers will compete in, though they are entered
compete in, though they are entered in the two-mile, the four mile, and the distance medley relays. The medley race will be run tomorrow and the head mentor expects to field a team in that event.
Both the two and four-mile relays will be held Saturday and the Kansans will only race in one, Easton said. Which one will depend on the competition as Easton will try to pick the relay where his team will have the best chance of winning.
The 11-man contingent will leave tonight by train for DesMoines, site of the annual festival.
Easton names as his strongest contenders, the relay teams and Jack Greenwood. All will be facing competition as tough or tougher than they met at the Kansas Relays in such schools as Oklahoma A. and M., Wisconsin Michigan State, California, Minnesota, and Texas A. and M.
If the quartet of Hal Hinchee, Dave Breidenthal, Pat Bowers, and Bob Karnes compete in the four-mile relay and win it, it will be the first time in the University's history that a team has ever won the triple crown.
This crew won at the Texas Relays and at the recent Kansas Relays. In Austin Bob Karnes raced across the finish line 35 yards ahead of the Texas anchorman in 17:41.9, a mere 1.8 seconds off the meet record. In the big Memorial stadium, Karnes finished 23 yards better than his nearest competitor, and the team wound up with the third best time in Relay's history, 17:51.7. Karnes turned in a 4:19.4 mile while anchoring the event.
Michigan State and Wisconsin will send strong teams against Kansas. The Spartans will have Jack Diarette and Bill Mack on the last two laps and plan to average 4:18. This will enable them to turn in a 17:12, bettering any time the Jayhawkers have done yet.
Easton indicated that he might turn to the two-mile rail instead. In that case Karnes, Winton Studt, Hinchee, and Bowers will carry the mail. Kansas lost the race April 23 at their own Relays to the Oklahoma Aggies, when the Stillwater Cowboys poked home in 7:41.0. four seconds better than the Relays record. Harold Tarrant had to do the 880 in 1:52.5 to beat Bowers, Big Seven Indoor champ. Bowers came in only five-tenths of a second late, still good enough to bear the record.
The Aggies will be at Drake along with Michigan State, Wisconsin, and California, and will be trying to top the Kansans again.
The distance medley crew, victors by a 35-yard margin at Texas, did not compete in the K.U. Relays, but is rated a potential winner at Drake. Wisconsin, Kansas Relays win in
10:16:2, will field an earnest squad with Jim Urghurst, Big Ten Indoor two-mile king, and Don Gehrmann, N.C.A.A. mile champ and Cunningham mile victor in Memorial stadium, as the last two lappers.
Jack Greenwood will be up to his neck in name hurdles. Greenwood, who set a new school record when he ran the 120-highs in 14.6 at the Relays, will face such speedsters as Page Christanson and Horace Smith of Michigan State, Augie Erfurt of Rice (Texas Rangers winner), Bill Fleming of North Dakota, and John Rowland of S.M.U.
The rangy Greenwood will also enter the 220-yard low hurdles, a new event at Drake. No less competition than that in the 120 will greet him in the lows with Dick Ault, Missouri three-time Big Seven champ, Bob Hall and Don Carlson of Texas A. and M., Erfurt, and Fred Johnson of Michigan State listed as entries.
Easton will also take five more men. Bruce Henoch will toss the spear; Charlie Penney will heave the shot; Bob Kline will handle the discus, and Bill Richardson will compete in the high jump.
Karnes and Cliff Able are entered in the open two-mile run tomorrow. The complete list of Kansas squadmen who will make the trip:

Rojek Injured In Night Fued
St. Louis, April 28—(U.P.)—Physicians examined x-rays today to determine how seriously Pittsburgh shortstop Stan Rojek was injured when hit in the head by a pitched ball last night during a game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The first report from Dr. Robert Hyland, Cardinal physician, said that Rojek was suffering from a possible brain concussion. He described the player's condition as serious but not critical.
The ball thrown by pitcher Ken Johnson in the ninth inning was the second to hit Rojek during the rolllicking game, and came as the climax to a night of bitter bickering between the Pirate star and the Cardinal team.
The feud started in the second inning when St. Louis catcher Joe Garagiola broke up a double play at second base and apparently roughed up Rojek in the process. The pair collided again in the fifth inning, and still a third time in the eighth when Garagiola was running the bases.
It hit him between the left cheekbone and the ear and sent him tumbling to the ground. Rojek, though still conscious, was carried from the field on a stretcher and then taken to St. John's hospital after a preliminary examination in the dressing room.
