KU Track Team Will Fly To Austin For Texas Relays
Coach "Bill" Easton's track team will take to the air when they leave for Austin, Texas and the Texas Relays tomorrow. Coach Easton will take only a select group of runners in an attempt to cope as many points as possible at the 22nd annual event.

Kansas will send men for one ought to do better this year than last." In 1948 K.U. took seconds in events and third in one.
two events.
A record-breaking number of athletes are expected to crowd the southern track and field carnival. Already 1,011 men from more than 100 schools are on the roster and it appears certain that the all-time high of 1,206 participants will be surpassed.
Easton will take squads for the distance medley, the two mile relay, and the four mile relay. Plagued by the weather, he has not been able to test his material enough to be positive of the men who will go.
Only the four-mile relay tracksters have been completely decided upon. Members will be Bob Karnes, captain of the squad for this trip. Fat Barnes, Hal Hinchee, and Dave Breidenthal.
Karnes, Bowers, and Hinchee will run in the other two events also. In the distance medley Easton will choose his fourth man from tracksters Winton Studt, Emil Shutzel, and Dick Wagstaff. In the four-miler the fourth man will be Studt or Bridestall.
Jack Greenwood might represent Kansas in the 120 high hurdles. Easton indicated. It will depend on Greenwood's time this week.
Easton and the small group will leave for Austin Thursday afternoon at 1:30 by plane and get back early Sunday. He explained that it was better for him to take a small, strong squad and go to win rather than to take a larger aggregation which might be weak in spots.
Although they won't be competing against the Kansas representatives, several running greats will push the records at the meet. Fleet Charley Parker of Texas will battle Paul Bienz of Tulane in the 100-yarder. Parker is undefeated this year but was beaten last winter by Bienz in their Sugar Bowl meeting. Parker turned the tables just last March 19 at Fort Worth. Both have been clocked in 9.5. Another contender is a Big Seven representative, Alan Thompson of Nebraska.
A special mile event will star such endurance champs as Jerry Tompson, former Texas ace making his seventh appearance, Forrest Efaw, one time national steeplechase king, and Javier Montes, Texas school boy champion miler now at Texas Mines, may force each other to a new mark. Efaw is coming out of semi-retirement for the race
Eleven states will send teams to the relays. They include Kansas, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Tennessee and Texas. Eighteen schools will compete in the university class, 21 in the college class, 17 in the junior college bracket, and 44 in the high school division.

El Paso, Tex., March 29—(U.P.)—A game of golf with nothing at stake but exercise perhaps appealed to Bantam Bep Hogan today.
But tournament golf and the rigors of the winter trail were far from the thoughts of Bantam Ben in his hospital bed as he gave his first interview since Feb. 2 when he was injured critically in a highway mishap.
Smiling occasionally, the erstwhile king of the fairways told newsmen yesterday he was "not even thinking about golf again until I feel much better. I still feel extremely weak."
"Of course, I expect to play again some day, but right now I have no
idea if it'll be the kind I used to play," Hogan said.
Hogan received multiple fractures of the collar bone, pelvis, an ankle and a rib when his sedan collided headon with a bus.
Doctors said Hogan could go home this weekend.
