orvis.
Those records in danger of being scratched off the books are those in the pole vault, the Cunningham mile, the discus, the two-mile relay, and the College sprint medley.
The pole vaulters and the mile runners shape up as being the most apt to succeed from this corner's seat. Two sky-kickers, Harry Cooper and Tom Bennett, both of the Big Ten, have done 14 feet 4 inches in indoor practice this year. (The record is 14 feet, 2 inches.) The fierce competition the other entrants will exert may well force them to equal the record or better it.
the room.
Two small men will be featured in the famed Glenn Cunningham mile in Don Griehnmann, 130 pounds, and Jerry Thompson, 120 pounds. Both are N.C.A.A. champs and, along with defending champ Cy Perkins, should give the crowd a show.
East Texas State also has a good chance of smashing their own record in the College sprint medley relay, having beaten their own time already this season.
A harrassed but still amiable Bill Easton expects a meet record or so to fall this time but adds that the world-records seem pretty safe.
Easton expects Kansas to be stronger than they have been in many years. His toughest relays he, predicts, will be in the two and four-mile events and in the distance medley. In the individual competition the coach picks Jack Greenwood as the man most likely to make the grade. Greenwood will run the 120 hurdles.
Most of the attention has been given to the big names coming to the Relays—names like Charlie Parker, Gehmann, Jerry Thompson, Byrll Thompson, Cooper, Bennett, and a few others. This is as it should be—an extravaganza as large as the Kansas Relays needs and warrants these names.
but a note of tribute to the little fellows, those who come in fourth or fifth or even last, should be extended somewhere along the line. They are too many to be named individually, but they, too, make the Relales what it is.
A few of them will probably surprise the experts, most of them won't. But all of them have something in common with the names—the will to win, or if they can't win to do the best they can. Actually they are to be congratulated when they finish last, if they do, because they've tried, they've finished, and they'll be back to try again. ___
Thompson To Try
(Centinued from page 9)
(Continued from page 9)
Since then he has accumulated various national honors. He took third behind Fitch and Gordien in the national A.A.U. trials in 1947, placed second in the same meet last year, and took fourth in the final Olympic trials.
Brawny Wildcat Prather has also earned his share of honors but has not racked up the marks of Thompson. Prather placed fourth in the N.C.A.A. meet last June and won the Big Seven championship with a throw of 157 feet, $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch. He also won the Big Seven-Southwest dual two years ago, pitching the wheel 153 feet, 8 inches.
A sore elbow is all that kept the 235-pounder out of first at the Texas Relays, his second place pitch of 150 feet, $3\frac{3}{4}$ inches falling four feet behind that of George Kadera.
Is Winter Getting Soft?
Burlington, Vi.—(U.P.) —For the first time in 16 years, Lake Champlain has remained ice-free through out a winter.
Easton Fields 16-Man Team Enters Top Relay Squads
Sixteen Kansas university track and field men will be entered in the Relays, Coach Bill Easton has announced.
Easton rates the four-mile relay squad along with the distance madley team as the strongest relay representatives and Jack Greenwood, mer. as the best individual entry.
Emil Shutzel, Hal Hinchee, Pa Bowers, and Bob Karnes will carry the load in the distance medley. This fourseason won by 35 yards in the Texas Relays and is given a good chance tomorrow.
In the four-miler Hinchee will take the lend-off mile with Dave Breedenthal, Bowers, and Karnes following. This squad also won handily at Austin in the good time of 17:41.9, only

1. 8 seconds off the meet record. It is not expected to equal the Relays mark of 17:37.8 but will be one of the leading candidates for first.

Delinguency Test Flunked
Columbus, Ind.-(U.P.)-Hubert H. Perry has decided that there are honest people. Three teen-aged boys who made a Sunday call to his grocery during his absence left 60 cents on the counter with a note itemizing their purchases.
MICKEY DUNN of Wyoming shows his speed in one of his specialties. The youngster is a powerful entry in the 100-yard dash and the decathlon. He is particularly strong in shorter track events and the broad and high jump. His best mark in the hundred is 9.5 seconds.
