Huskers Favored On Track In Dual Here Saturday
Kansas and Nebraska will unwind the first Big Seven outdoor dual meet of the season at 2 p.m. here tomorrow and the collision may produce the tightest race of the entire conference season.
With two of their injured performers back in the harness after missing the league indoor trials, Cornhusker track forces will be slightly favored
pect to run into Harold Kopf, brilliant sophomore half miler, and Harry Meginnis, defending outdoor bread jump champion, both of whom missed the indoor trials. The Huskers also may bring Sprinter Dick Hutton who doubles as a football halfback.
Even with this trio back, Bill Easton's thinspread crew promises to make a battle of it. In fact Kansas distance and javelin strength might push the meet's outcome right down to the mile relay finale.
Ed Weir's gang don't have anyone to match KU.'s Hal Moore and Bob Karnes in the mile and two mile while Wint Studt and Dick Shea, who finished a surprise second in the indoor 860, will furnish Kopf and Jim Martin, the indoor champ, with a tough round in that race.
How many points the Hawkers can whittle out of this race, plus the 440 where Weir will field another indoor king in Loyal Hurlburt, will determine how close the Hawkers can come to triumph. Bill Binter, Johnny Stites, and Dick Wagstaff will battle Hurlburt and Don Moorhouse in this race.
Easton hopes to score a slam in the javelin with Bruce Henoch, Leroy Robison, and a newcomer to the event, footballer Bob Drumm. The Huskers' versatile Ray Magsamen is the only Nebraska entry in this event.
By JIM JONES Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Has the intramural program at the University grown too big for itself? This question was the subject of a recent meeting of intramural managers representing 17 organized houses.
The present system of awarding a sweepstakes trophy was the specific point attacked by those who insist the program has grown too big. Under the present set-up, points are given for each intramural sport; the winner of a particular contest getting twice as many points as the loser. At the end of the school year, the team having accumulated the greatest number of points wins the sweepstakes trophy.
Managers opposing the sweepstakes system insist that in order for their houses to compete effectively in the sweepstakes race they must field teams in all sports whether their men want to go out for all sports or not. This takes too much time and is defeating the purpose of the program, they contend.
Sweepstakes opponents also complain that men not taking part in the games are now spending too much time attending the events. This argument, of course, presupposes the existence of spectator competition; the idea that a house must present as large a cheering section as the opponent.
Managers supporting the present set-up point out, that, by adding increased incentive, the sweepstakes trophy promotes keener competition and, in general, makes for a more lively intramural program. It gives recognition to the houses with the best all-round athletic program, they believe.
Two proposals were offered by those opposing the sweepstakes. One was to do away with the all-over point system altogether, giving trophies for each sport as is now done, but no sweepstakes award.
With no sweepstakes standing to worry about, the managers say they could concentrate on the sports in which the men are most interested and ignore the others.
A second proposal was to confine points toward the sweepstakes trophy to football, basketball, volleyball. and softball.
'B' Title Won By Beta Rally
Staging a last minute sprint Beta Theta Pi overcame a favored Phi Delt squad to gain possession of the intramural volleyball "B" division crown Thursday.
The Beginner's and Spooner Thayer moved into the final round of the independent playoffs by eliminating Dix Club and Dream Team respectively in the deciding contests of three-game series.
Date of the Phi Delt-Delta Chi tilt for the fraternity “A” championship has been moved up to April 13. The game was originally slated for 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Beta's Spurt To Win.
The Beta's put on a sudden drive to spill the Phi Delt's in the deciding game of their series. They were trailing 13 to 11 when starting the uphill climb. Phi Delt got off to a flying start with a 15 to 4 win, but lost the second game 15 to 9.
Big guns in the Beta triumph were slamming Clare Gillin and Ralph Moon who turned in their usual top-top performance. Bob Fountain and Oliver Samuels starred for the conquered Phi Delt's, who suffered their lone reverse of the season. Brilley Is A Star
Jim Briley starred as he paced the Beginner's to victory over Dix Club. The victors ran away with the opener 15 to 4, dropped the second game 15 to 12, and then turned on the heat to grab the final contest 15 to 7. Spooner Thayer spoiled Dream Team's undefeated record by gaining a close victory. They nudged the losers 15 to 11 in the initial game and after losing the following game 13 to 15, settled things with a 15 to 5 rout. Bob Bock led the winners.
2nd Emporia Meet Will Draw Big Field
Emporia. April 9—(UP)—Nine colleges and seven high schools will be represented in the second annual Emporia State relays here on Saturday. April 10.
F. G. "Fran" Welch, athletic director at Emporia State, estimated that approximately 500 athletes would participate in the competition.
College teams entered in the meet include Hays, Pittsburg, Southwestern, Ottawa, Kansas Wesleyan, College of Emporia, Wichita, Friends and Emporia State.
High school track teams from Topeka, Haskell, Junction City, El Dorado, Wyandotte, Salina, and Emporia will be entered in the high school section of the meet.
The nation's top 10 conferences are represented today as the national association of commissioners opened its annual session in Kansas City.
High on the agenda was continuation of discussions of the new N.C. A.A. sanity code, and consideration of conference relations to post-season bowl games.
Conference Commissioners Meet Today In Kansas City
There were only eight counties in Nebraska when the state was admitted to the Union. Now there are 93.
A vote showed that 13 managers did not want a change in the present set-up while only four did. The managers had been instructed to get the opinion of their respective houses before voting.
Phog To Be Speaker At Kentucky Banquet
So, in spite of the arguments for eliminating the sweepstakes, the fact that so large a majority of the organized houses do not want a change seems to point out that the program is not working too great a hardship on the men.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen has accepted an invitation to speak at a banquet honoring the University of Kentucky basketball team in Lexington, Ky., April 12.
Dr. Allen was invited to speak at the banquet by Kentucky's coach, Adolph Rupp. Rupp was a member of the Allen-coached, undefecated Missouri valley team of 1923.
Relays List Still Grows
Three additional universities and two A.A.U. entries from the United States naval academy officially entered the 23rd Kansas Relays Thursday.
The Texas Longhorns will bring with them four championship teams from their own relays and one individual king, broad jumper John Robertson. Other Texas stars will include Jerry Thompson, diminutive twice N.C.A.A. two-mile champ, Allen Lawler and Charlie Parker, star dashmen, both former A.A.U. titlists.
The other two university class entrants were Baylor, which will bring a four-man group including a pair of good sprinters in Stonie Cotton and Tony D'Ambrosio, and Bradley, new Missouri Valley member which boasts high jumper Jack Heintzman.
The latter leaped 6 feet $7\frac{1}{4}$ inches at Austin last Saturday to bag the Texas Relays title. He picked off third place at the Kansas Relays last year behind K.U.'s Tonn Scofield and Monte Kinder of Nebraska.
Nady's entries both fall in the A.A.U. class. Art Bigley will go to the post in the 400 meter hurdles and Art Bouwman in the hop-step-jump. Both are Olympic events which are included on this year's Relays program. Bigley ran fourth in the N.C.A.A. 400 meter timbres last summer and probably will face a terrific field including Dick Ault of Missouri and Baldwin-Wallace's Gunnar Katzmar.
