Easton Says Track Meets Get Bigger Play In West
Publicity of track meets and relays on the west coast is more effective than that used in the Midwest, Millard "Bill" Easton, track coach, said Monday.
Coach Easton attended the National Collegiate Track Coaches association meeting Jan. 4 and 5 in San Francisco, Calif.
"The newspapers in California carry stories on track meets giving the estimated time a man will run in, or the height he will jump. The people read this and can tell if they want to see the meet.
Easton pointed out that usually the competition is stuff in California, therefore the paper's estimates of the efforts of the various men are close and draw the people out.
Easton addressed the 40 coaches attending the meeting on the subject, "Promotion of track, field, and relay events." Ward Haylett, track coach at Kansas State, was scheduled to speak on "The Olympie Decathlon" but was ill and unable to attend.
He said he was considering talking to the various coaches whose schools will participate in the K.U. relays in April and preparing a "dope sheet" for them.
No association rules were changed, Easton said. They are considered in the summer meeting. The purpose of the recent meeting was to give the coaches a chance to discuss their problems and see how others were solving theirs.
It was announced at the meeting that the National Collegiate Track and Field championship meet will be held Friday and Saturday, June 17 and 18 in San Francisco. The National A.A.U. championship meet will take place Friday and Saturday, June 24 and 25, in Fresno, Calif.
Burris Signs For Packers
Oklahoma City, Jan. 11-(UP)- Buddy Burris, All-American guard at the University of Oklahoma, was a Green Bay Packer today.
He signed a contract with Coach Curly Lambeau here Monday for an undisclosed salary, Lambeau said Green Bay policy prevented him from announcing terms of the play-for-nav pact.
The signing followed two days of talks with Burris and Jack Mitchell, Oklahoma quarterback. Though Mitchell did not sign Monday, Lambau said he had the quarterback's promise to play for the Packers if he decided to enter pro football.
Saying he hoped to sign Mitchell before next season, Lambaue said he probably would use him at left halfback, "where he would be our number one running back."
Burris also was drafted by Brooklyn of the All-America conference. He reportedly received a "flattering" offer from the Dodgers, coached by Carl Voyles, onetime star at Oklahoma A. and M.

Billikens-LIU To Play In Garden; Gophers Ride High In Big Nine Race
New York, Jan. 11—Ed Macauley, the beanpole bomber, led the unbeaten St. Louis Billikens back today to the court where last year they staked a claim to the National College basketball championship.
Tonight at Madison Square Garden the Bills, who have won nine games so far including a two-point triumph over Kentucky, were rated in their game against
a shoo-in in their game against Long Island university. It was at the Garden last year that St. Louis won the National Invitational tournament.
New Yorkers have been anxious for another look at St. Louis and especially at MaCauley, the six-foot, eight-inch sharpshooter who was voted the tournament's outstanding player award.
Although L.I.U. wasn't expected to press the Billikens down to the wire, the Garden was expected to turn away more customers than ever. The clash would also probably overshadow the second game in which C.C.N.Y. meets West Virginia accompanied by ceremonies honoring C.C.N.Y. Coach Nat Holman for 20 years of service.
Kentucky, which hasn't played since losing to St. Louis in the finals of the Sugar bowl tournament, was slated to return to the cage wars tonight against Bowling Green of Ohio. And the Wildcats were reported to be snarling in their anxiety to prove that their loss was a "fluke" and that they, not the Billikens, are the nation's class team.
In perhaps the most significant game last night, the Minnesota Gophers, also unbeaten, racked up their 10th straight triumph by trouncing Wisconsin, 47 to 33. Wisconsin successfully used Don Relfeld to spike big Jim McIntyre, the Gophers' big gun who only six points, but Whitey Skoog dunked 14 points to lead Minnesota to its second Big Nine conference victory.
ond Big Nine conference victory.
The East: Dusque nounced St. Francis of Brooklyn, 75-62; Rhode Island State routed Rutgers, 75-57; and Georgetown edged Maryland, 53-51.
South: Tennessee nicked Vanderbilt, 53 to 51; Louisiana State crushed Mississippi State, 64-40; and Washington and Lee beat Virginia, 75 to 66.
Midwest: Purdue handed defending champion Michigan another loss, 45 to 36; Indiana trounced Iowa, 50 to 39; and Illinois shaded Ohio State, 64 to 33, in Big Nine games; Western Michigan thumped Ohio university, 58 to 52; and Michigan State downed Detroit, 66 to 49.
Southwest: Drake whipped Tulsa,
92 to 50.

It was the Caps 28th victory in S1 starts this year, and they left seven full games ahead of their nearest rival, the New York Knickerbockers.
The Boston Celtics held Bones Mc Kinney, usually depended upon for 20 or more points, to four field goals last night but the Washington Capitals slaughtered the Celtics 94 to 83.

Yankee Head Wants Peace
S. W. of K.U. on 59
"Come On Out"
New York, Jan. 11—(UP) — A spokesman for the New York football Yankees said today that his team has no intention of withdrawing from the All-American football conference "if we would leave any of our associates holding the bag."
Oklahoma City, Jan. 11—(UP) — Tony Zale intends to fight. Marcel Cerdan next summer for the middleweight championship the battling Frenchman took away from him last year.
The spokesman, publicity director Arthur (Red) Patterson, said, however, that club president Dan Topping "would do anything to bring about peace in pro football and this would even include becoming a landlord at Yankee Stadium."
Zale Wants Return Bout With Cerdan
Art Winch. Zale's manager, has said the 34-year-old boxer will do no more fighting.
Patterson's statement was in comment on an article published today in the New York Herald Tribune under the signature of sports editor Bob Cooke.
"I don't know what Art wants to do," he said. "But I know what I want to do. I want to fight Cerdan again."
Tony, never one to boast, expressed optimism.
