Former National Decathlon King To KU Friday
Today the Kansas Relays drew a former national champ, Bill Terwilliger, former Northern Illinois Teachers athlete, to headline its decathlon field here Friday and Saturday.
Sadly, at the same time, meet director Bill Easton disclosed that Tom Scofield, KU's National A.A.U. high jump co-champion last year, who has been training hard for the all-round event this spring, would miss the affair because of a reocurrence of an old knee injury.
Easton also listed four other new decathlon entries, Jim McConnell, of Nebaska, who placed sixth in the tough 1948 field here; Jimmy Smith, Oklahoma sophomore; Dorland Short, Caruthers, Calif., high school boy, and Cornelius Anderson of Missouri Valley college.
afterward.
Terrelllliger, now taking master's work at Wisconsin, won the national in 1942 at Chicago with an impressive total of 6,802 points. He turned in 'particularly outstanding performances in the broad jump, 23 feet, 2 1/7 inches, the discus throw, 156 feet, and the shot put, 42 feet, 10 inches. His 1942 total would have won the Relys label here last year as Arkansas' Charles Baker scored 6,730 to capture the honor.
This group joins Mickey Dunn and Frank Stine of Wyoming, who entered earlier this week, thus making a seven-man field for the two-day grind which opens Friday afternoon.
Terwilliger owns practice marks of .50.8 in the 400 meters and 151 feet in the discus this spring.
McConnell, who scored 6,242 points here last year, likely will top the field in weight events, having thrown the javelin as far as 180 feet this spring, the discus 129 feet, and the shot 46 feet. Smith will be long on the track having chalked marks of .11.1 in the 100 meters, .52.0 in the 400, .15.1 in the 110 meter high hurdles, and 4:43 in the 1,500.
Anderson's best events are the javelin and discus where he has bettered 156 feet and 131 feet, respectively. Short's best figure is a :54 quarter.
Dunn and Stine, both of whom have broken 10-flat in the 100, ran in the recent Colorado indoor septathlon at Boulder. The former will be a distinct title threat having notched 6 feet, 3 inches in the high jump, 14.8 in the hurdles and 165 feet in the javelin. Baker is not returning to defend his championship
as tuxedo by Olympic rules, competitors will tackle the 100 meters, broad jump, shot put, high jump and 400 meters, in that order, on Friday with the 110 meter hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin and 1500 meters following on Saturday.
Robinson Boys Have Big Day
New York, April 20—(U.P.)-The Robinsons did okay for themselves in the major leagues Tuesday.
Jackie played for Brooklyn, Ed for Washington and Aaron for Detroit. All three hit home runs.

"Now," said Cub manager Jim Gallagher. "Now we've got a guy who can beat that 41-year-old so and so, Rip Sewell, on opening day."
Then Just Call - - -
That "so and so" Sewell, Pittsburgh's famed strawberry grower from Plant City, Fla., had made a lifetime career of beating the Cubs, not only on opening day but when ever he faced them. The past season he tapped them seven times and lost to them but once.
Jinx Over Cubs Holds As Sewell Hurls 1-0 Win
New York, April 20 (U.P.)Usually it's hard to figure out overnight who will do tomorrow's pitching, but opening day honors in a great duel went to two old boys who were named for the job last Dec. 14.
That was the day the Cubs bought 39-year-old Dutch Leonard from the Phils.
So it was old stuff when Sewell threw his old stuff past the Cubs once more Tuesday, blanking them with eight hits in what was a scoreless duel with the equally effective Leonard until the Pirates scored in the ninth for a 1 to 0 triumph.
Leonard gave up only five hits as Sewell marked up his 34th win over the Cubs, most for any pitcher still active over a single club in the majors. Bob Feller of the Indians is next with 32 triumphs over the Athletics.
Another oldster, 31-year-old Leffy Ken Raffensberger, who pitched two one-hitters against the Cardinals last season, maintained his mastery over them by hurling a five-hit, 3 to 1 victory for the Reds at Cincinnati, besting crafty Harry Brecheen.
The Braves, who had been blanked for 17 innings by the Phils, came from behind with a four run ninth inning rally that gave them a 4 to 3 victory, then went on to take the second game of a Patriot's day double header, 11 to 2.
The Dodgers, stealing the home run act from the Giants, cashed in on round trippers by Carl Furillo, Jackie Robinson, and Roy Campanella to score a 10 to 3 victory at Brooklyn.
Veteran Hal Newhouser pitched his fourth straight opening day victory for the Tigers, a three-hit, 5 t
