Dr. Jewett will conduct a short field trip into the Manhattan area Thursday for the geology students at Kansas State college.
1949 Baseball Begins Today
President Truman has even the experts guessing as to which hand he will use to toss out the first ball when he officially opens the 1949 major league baseball season at Washington.
Washington.
But whether the president is a right hander or a southpaw, everyone is sure that this will be one of the greatest years of all for the national pastime, a prediction that usually preceeds almost every opening day game.
After a month of spring training, the long awaited opening is here. Only two games, however, are scheduled. The big kickoff comes tomorrow when all 16 major league teams will see action.
teams will see action. One game is on tap in each circuit today. The Washington Senators, always an early bird in the American league, play host to the Philadelphia Athletics.
The world champion Boston Braves meet the Philadelphia Phillies at Boston in the lone game in the National loop.
the National hoop.
Club owner and other baseball financial partners are counting on the biggest season in history thanks to television, the invention baseball men dreaded a few months ago. Now they believe it has given added interest to baseball which may lead to new all-time home attendance gate marks. Expected fights-to-the-finish for both the National and American league pennants will add still more color.
Elton B. Noble Heeds Student Religious Council
Elton B. Noble, engineering sophomore, was elected president of the Student Religious council recently.
Other new officers are Dale Theo bald, engineering senior, vice-president; Henry Bradshaw, College freshman, treasurer; and Mildred Simpson, College sophomore, secretary.
The next meeting of the council will be held Thursday, April 28 in Myer hall.
First Entries For Decathlon Are Received
Saturday's Kansas Relays drew its first decathlon entries today when Director Bill Easten received blanks from Mickey Dunn and Frank Stine of Wyoming.
The Cowboys also entered nine other performers in a last minute flirt that also included Colorado, Drake, Marquette, Kansas, Ottawa, Phillips, Baker, Sterling, and McMurray. This brings the final number of schools to 56 in the university, college and junior college classes. Broken down these include 302 competitors from 19 universities, 335 from 28 colleges and 65 from nine junior colleges.
One thousand, four hundred, sixty-one high school performers from 154 Kansas institutions are entered.
On the basis of early marks the 19-year-old Dunn should be a distinct title threat in the two-day Decathlon grind. In a dual meet against Colorado Aggies he ran :09.6 in the 100-yard dash, :21.6 in the 220, :13.8 in the 120-yard high hurdles, and :24.5 in the 220 lows. Improvement in his weak events, the shot put, javelin and pole vault during the next week could be enough to put him on top.
Buffalo Coach Frank Potts also intered his spinner, Don Campbell, who ran third in the N.C.A.A. 100 meters the past summer and this winter set a record of .062 for the 60 yard dash at the Big Seven indoor meet.
Colorado's entry means the meet will present four N.C.A.A. champions with Warren Bateman, Buff pole vaulter, being the latest addition. He got over 14 feet last June to share the 1948 title with George Rasmussen of Oregon. Other national kings entered include Don Gehrmann, Wisconsin, 1500 meters; Jerry Thompson, formerly of Texas, 5000 meters; and John Robertson, Texas, who won the broad jump in 1946.
Jack Todd, Big Seven javelin king, was another Buff entry in a contingent of 19. Shot-putter Jim Allen and broadjumper Bob Menary will be threats in their specialties.
Roy Potochnik, 13-foot, 6-inch pole vaulter, headed Marquette's eight-man list. Drake's top threat is expected to be spinner, Don Pettie.
