Wichita East Favored To Cop Seventh High School AA Title
By BUD WRIGHT
Only a major upset can prevent the Wichita East Blue Aces from gaining their seventh consecutive class AA title in the 45th running of the Kansas Interscholastic Relays starting at 9 a.m. tomorrow, but there may be new champions in both the A and B divisions.
At least five records will be in serious danger as more than 1,500
At least five records will be in athletes from 165 schools vie for places in the annual Relays, the queen of Kansas High school track events. Nearly half the entrants will compete in class B.
Sixteen defending individual champions are scheduled to be on the scene, but few of them are certain of repeating their winning performances. A glance into the past shows that few athletes have coped first-place medals two years in a row. Roy Dahl, crack hurdler from Leon, is the only returning double winner.
Dopesters are giving Kingman the nod to replace Ottawa in the class A field since Ottawa has been hard-hit by graduations. Leon, 1948 class B champ, looks good but so Pretty

Prairie, Coldwater, and Syracuse. Shawnee Mission and Wyandotte may give Wichita East plenty of trouble in class AA competition, especially if they receive aid in the right places from unusually strong Coffeville, Independence, and Pittsburg of southeastern Kansas.
Wally Beck, speedy 6-foot, 3-inch sprinter from Shawnee Mission, is almost certain to threaten the long-standing marks in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Dick Overfield, Independence, established the meet records of 9.9 seconds in the century and 22 seconds flat in the 220 in the 1938 Relays.
220 in the 1950s.
But Beck, who copped the 100-yard dash last year, has once been clocked in 9.8 this season and twice in 10 seconds flat. He has run the 220 in 21.9 seconds, a tenth of a second off the standing mark. LeRoy Peters, Wichita East, and several other top sprinters, however, are expected to push him.
Bob Cannon, Haskell, is one of the meet's expected runaways. He leaped 6 feet, $3\frac{1}{4}$ inches in the Ottawa Relays recently to topple his own mark. So far he is the only high jumper in the state to reach 6 feet this year. Cannon tied with Lloyd Mairs, Argentine, in 1948. The record of 6 feet, $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches is held by Bob Rogers, Independence.
Harlan Klintworth, star half-miler from Independence, is almost sure to detrone Bob Wilson, Pittsburg, who has been hampered by a foot injury.
Topping the list of class A entrants is big Jim Swim, Marysville weight man. Swim set a new record of 181 feet in the javelin throw last year, and seems to have little real competition again this year.
Lanky|Dick Knostman, Wamego, may have trouble repeating in the discus event which he won in 1948. Charles Crouch, Kingman, has bettered 140 feet and teammate Merle Gish has done 135.
Sparking entrant in class B is Ray Dahl, winner of both hurdle events last year. He won the events at the Sterling and Ottawa Relays this season, and may be a threat in the 100-yard dash.
Byron Renner, Wichita East, has already equaled the record of 14.9 seconds in the high hurdles this year, and has good possibilities of setting a new record. He romped over the sticks in 14.8 seconds last year, but high winds prevented his time from being accepted as a record.
At least one record will be established in all classes, that being in the new 180-low hurdle race which replaces the 200-yard low hurdles which have been run in the past. This will give Renner a transfer from Hutchinson, a good chance at the mark. Dean Pryor, Fredonia, will be the best bet to be the new record holder in class A and Marvin Maune, Syracuse, in class B.
