PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1948 Easton Will Take 15 To 39th Drake Relays Tom Seofield, the lean senior high jumper from Kansas City, will be Kansas' best bet for a title tomorrow when Bill Easton sends 15 Jayhawkers to the post in the 39th annual Drake Relays. With two second place ties in as many outdoor starts to date this spring, the Jays' captain hopes to get over the hump at Des Moines to bag his first major bauble of the 1948 season. His teammates in the field events will include Leroy Robison in the discus and javelin; Bruce Henoch, javelin; Bob Drumm, javelin, and Bob Crowley, broad jump and hop-step-jump. Drumm and Crowley are sporting bets for Kansas points. Drumm a hefty football center from Centralia, is the surprise of the conference season. The big boy fired the javelin 196 feet 5 inches to win a dual meet against Nebraska here two weeks ago and got 183 feet $ \frac{8}{4} $ inches to bag fourth last Saturday. Bob Hits Stride Crowley got off the best jump of his career last week at Kansas to place third with 23 feet $1 \frac{1}{4}$ inches. The Jayhawker's best baton bet is the two mile which ran second at Texas, after leading for three legs, and nailed fourth in their own meet last Saturday. Hal Moore, the conference indoor mile record holder, and Bob Karnes, loop indoor and outdoor two mile champ, are the big guns here. Wint Studt, who rambled a 49.2 quarter last week in the mile relay, and capable Dick Shea, probably will complete this team. Three Relay Teams Go KU Coach Bill Easton Easton will send three baton four- somes after points in the mile, two mile and distance medley relays. Personnel here will include Johnny Stites, Dick Wagstaff, Bill Binter, Shea, Studt, Karnes, Moore and Bob Morris. Harrison Dillard and Charlie Parker, two standout performers last week at Lawrence, will also compete in the Drake meet. Dillard, who registered his mark of 13.6 last Saturday at the Kansas Relays, will meet even stiffer competition. Dell-Milan Jones. Dillard or Porter. In addition to Clyde Scott of Arkansas, who finished second last week, Bill Porter of Northwestern will be in the lineup. Porter has been Dillard's most persistent challenger in the highs, and was the last man to beat the speedy negro just 53 races ago. Ohio State's Lloyd Duff, co-holder with Dillard of the American 70-yard indoor low hurdle record, and Missouri's Bud Gartiser also will be in the running, Gartiser missed the Kansas Relays last Saturday due to illness, but hopes to be back in the running this Saturday. Parker, the big Texas sprinter, seems likely to succeed as 100-yard dash king. He was clocked in 69.5 seconds at the Kansas Relays last week, which should place out in front of the field. There will be a fence around left field extending to the bank in center field. Coach Russ Sehon said that the fence would stop most grounders for two base hits. When Oklahoma and Kansas square off for their two game series today the fielders won't have to worry about ground balls developing into home runs. The title of the highest ranking United States representative to a foreign country is ambassador extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. Fence Will Enclose KU Baseball Field KU Nine Meets OU Today In First League Tilt At Home The Oklahoma Sooners, Big Seven and NCAA fifth district baseball champions last year, will open a two game series with Kansas today. The game this afternoon will start at 3:30 p.m. and the Saturday game is slated for 2 p.m. This is the first home game against conference competition for the Jayhawkers. Missouri edged Kansas twice at Columbia last weekend. starting pitcher today, with The Sooners thus far have shown only ashes of the form that made them champions last year. They have been impotent at the plate and do not have a regular batting over-275. Coach Jack Baer has been forced to build the 1948 edition of the Sooners around two holdovers from last years squad. The holdovers are Lewis Eubanks, shortstop, and Elton Davis, big right handed pitcher. Davis sported the best earned run average on the Oklahoma pitching staff last year at 37.8, winning five and losing three. He won 12 out of 12 for the Enid, Oklahimo Cards during the summer. Coach Sehon has named Dick Gill- man, fireball right hander, as his NYU Favored At Penn Meet Philadelphia, April 23—(UP) The maelstrom of spikes which is the University of Pennsylvania Relay carnival opened on Franklin Field today with New York University favored to gather the major share of the title plums. The perennial hardy Violets of Coach Emil Von Elling, whetted by four outdoor triumphs last week, held the edge of the field, picked for at least four relay titles in the two-day games. Four wins would tie the carnival mark held by Pitt and Michigan. The New Yorkers will throw Reggie Pearman, national A.A.U. 880 champion, along with Ira Kaplan, Jim Gilhooley, John Nelson and Hugo Maiocco into the task of winning four. Like everyone else, the Violet's aren't forgetting the job their own Pearman did one year ago in wrecking Illinois. The Illini came east in 1947 with the great Herb McKenley and their eye on five titles. Pearman, then Dawdling in near-obscurity, turned loose two of the greatest stretch runs in the games' 53-year history to win two N.Y.U. titles and blast Illinois' five-crown hopes. Through the 81 events today and tomorrow, N.Y.U. faced sturdy competition from its neighbor Manhattan and from Penn State, Michigan, Western Ontario, Seton Hall, Villanova, Fordham and Yale. Milwaukee, April 23-(UP)—Bert Lytell was cleared of responsibility for the death of Jackie Dart-hard, 19, who died of injuries suffered in a bout with Lytell. Headlining the special events will be Chuckin' Charley Fonville, the streamlined Michigan shot putter. No Charges Filed In Darthard Case "Darthard's death Thursday can be charged to lots of hard luck. We are convinced there was no foul play," McCauley, said. William McCauley, district attorney, said the death was accidental and that no inquest has been ordered. Mrs. Mary Darthard, mother of the victim, came here from Darthard's home at Kansas City as soon as she learned her son had been injured. She told Lytell that everyone knew it was not his fault. starting pitcher today with Jack Fink behind the plate.
