Two engineering students were called to measure the difference in elevation between the ring and the point where Charlie Fonville's record breaking shot put heave fell. The point where the shot fell was two inches lower than the elevation of the ring—not enough to invalidate the heave. The new record would probably have been contested if the difference had been more than five inches.

Fonville, whose previous best toss was 56 feet 10 inches, didn't seem surprised when he learned that he was the holder of a world's record, in fact, he's probably the most relaxed, unassuming athlete we've ever seen. When asked how it felt to break a world's record, he seemed embarrassed and gave little more than a smile for a reply.
The Michigan athlete's secret of power is not his size as much as his explosive right arm. He weighs only 187 pounds—about a hundred pounds less than former record-holder, Jack Torrance—and looks more like a hurdler than a weight specialist. Yet, when he moves across the ring and uncocks his right arm, there's no question about power—you know it's there.
Charlie is a pre-deptal student. His only sport is track, and he has another year of competition. Expressing a desire to come back to the Kansas Relays next year, he said he didn't know whether he would ever be able to break his own world's record or not.
"You just can't tell about throwing the shot. Sometimes everything seems right and you get a good toss, but you can't tell when that's going to be," he explained.
--starting a double play which cut short a Kansas rally. Hal May, Jayhawker third-sacker, got the only single.
Rollin Prather, Kansas State's kingsized weight man, fouled on two of his three shot put heaves during the finals in the afternoon. One of the tosses went 52 feet 10 inches, good enough to break the old Relays mark.
An anemometer operated by Ralph Simmons, College sophomore, was set up in the center of the field to measure wind velocity. When a tail wind is more than three miles an hour the time in a running event cannot be counted toward official records.
Wind speed was about two miles an hour when Harrison Dillard ran the 120-yard high hurdles in 13.6 for a new world's record. Shortly after the race the wind increased to about 4 miles an hour.

Elgin watches were presented to first place winners in each event. On the face of each were red and blue letters spelling out Kansas Relays in place of numbers. The winner of the decathalon and the Glenn Cunningham mille were also presented with trophies.

Asked how the Kansas Relay, compared with the famous relays he engineered at Drake, coach Bill Easton said it wasn't a fair question.
"The relays at Drake lasted for several days and here we have only a two-day show," he explained. "But, from the standpoint of weather and competition, this is probably the finest two-day meet Kansas track fans have ever seen," he added.
Saturday's two new world marks will probably not receive official recognition for many months yet. Top officials must check and verify all factors connected with each event before stamping their approval on the new marks.
Harrison Dillard was voted the outstanding preformer of the meet by sports writers at the Relays. He received a governors' plaque for this honor.

Big Leagues Open Fire Today In Three Cities
Big league baseball comes out from under its spring training wraps into full limelight today as six teams take the field in Washington, Boston, and Cincinnati.
In Washington the world champion New York Yankees will be out to give the Senators an election year trimming before 35,000. They will face
Early Wynn, the snitty right hander they tried to obtain during the winter. Allie Reynolds will draw the inaugural pitching assignment for New York. Wynn won 17 games last year, a more notable achievement with the seventh place Senators than it was for Reynolds to win 19 with the Yankees.
Red Sox In Twin Bill
At Boston, the Red Sox, who figure to give the Yankees the most trouble in their bid for a second straight pennant, opposes the Athletics in a Patriot's day morning and afternoon double header. While the A's are in a rebuilding campaign, it would be upsetting to say the least if they should score a sweep.
The Red Sox will send last year's ace, Joe Dobson, and the sophomore Harry Dorish into the holiday frays. For the A's it probably will be a pair of purple heart heroes, Phil Marchildon, former Royal Canadian flier, and Lou Brissise, once reported dead in Belgium, and who still wears braces on his leg to enable him to stand up.
Baseball top pitcher of 1947, Ewell Blackwell, a 22-game winner, was nominated by Cincinnati to oppose Hail Gregg, one of Pittsburgh's numerous additions from Brooklyn.
Two second division tenants of 1947, both aspiring to be residents of the first division this year, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds meet in the National league opener at Cincinnati. Blackwell To Mound
The National league, in deference to Cincinnati's annual opening day sellout, decided to honor the Reds with a special opener which is likely to be attended by upwards of 32,000.
Netmen Bow At St. Louis
Bob Ziervogel, Washington ace, handed Hervé Macferran his first defeat of the year in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Bob Savitt, Washington, turned back Glen Tongier, 7-5, 6-2, in one of the best matches of the afternoon. Tongier had Savitt, 5-2, in the first set, but Savitt broke through to sweep the next five games.
A strong Washington university tennis team shutout the Jayhawkers Saturday, 7-0, at St. Louis. It was the first loss for Kansas and the Bears' fourth straight victory of the year.
Bob Light, Washington, defeated Dick Cray, 6-2, 6-0. Bill Ziervogel, Washington, edged Charlie Carson, 6-3, 6-3. Bill Muenz, Washington, trimmed Dave Cowley, 6-3, 6-1.
In first doubles Macferran-Carson were defeated by Bob Ziervogel-Light, 3-6, 4-6. Bill Ziervogel-Savitt were pressed to defeat Cray-Tongier, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.
In other openers on Tuesday in the National league, the champion Brooklyn Dodgers oppose the Giants at the Polo Grounds; the Braves play the Phils at Philadelphia; the Cubs meet the Pirates at Pittsburgh; and the Reds play the Cardinals at St. Louis. In the American on Tuesday the Detroit Tigers play at Chicago and the St. Louis Browns at Cleveland.
IWW, Corbin Parade Across The Plate As Scoring Dominates Women's Softball
High scoring games continue to be the rule as I.W.W. and Corbin hall led the parade across the plate totaling 75 runs for the two teams in one afternoon's play.
The I.W.W. nine ran up the highest score of the season by snowing Templin 43 to 1. Two and a half innings were enough for the girls from Templin so they conceded the game.$\textcircled{4}$
Dr. Lins Visits In Wisconsin
Corbin Hall jumped on the merry-go-round and before it had stopped they had defeated the Alpha Chi Omega team 32 to 4. Shepard, Corbin pitcher, held the Alpha Chi's scoreless until the final inning.
Dr. Beatrice M. Lins, health service physician, spent the weekend at her home in Springgreen, Wis., where she will attend the wedding of her niece.
Alpha Delta Pi was not to be denied as they rung up a decision 26 to five victory over Chi Omega. Virginia Coppedge, A.D. Pi pitcher, registered 8 strike outs while holding the Chi O's to 11 scattered hits. Brooks and Begham, Chi O's pitchers, allowed 32 hits, including 5 each by Cooper, Anderson, and Bentley. Pi Beta Phi defeated Harmon 17 to 11. The Pi Phi's took an early 13 to 6 lead at the end of the first and managed to hold that margin behind the pitching of Granger and Marsh. Alpha Omicron Pi downed Lollife 17 to 10. Spalding was the winning pitcher. Liem was on the mound for the losers. Pepper and Bloomer each hit 4 for 4 for the winners.

Drop Two To Tigers
The Jayhawker nine got off to a poor start by dropping both of their conference openers to Missouri at Columbia by scores of 10 to 5 and 1 to 0, in games played over the week-end;
Englert, the Tigers ace right-hander, worked the Friday game and turned in a seven-hitter. The veteran Tiger nine collected 12 safeties and committed only one error, while the Jayhawkers were committing four miscues. The batteries for Kansas were Freed, Hammer, Fencyk, and Fink.
Dick Gilman allowed six hits for the Jayhawkers in the second game Saturday but was bested by McMiliers. McMillen, helped, his cause, by
