Relays Roundup
There is one event in the Kansas Relays that is really going to be a battle, and that is the pole vault. Two of the best vaulters in the midwest will be shooting for the Relay record of 14 feet 2 inches.
The two boys are Don Cooper of Nebraska, and Harry Cooper of Minnesota. Harry Cooper owns the better mark of the two at 14 feet 6 inches, but Don's best mark is only 2 inches behind at 14 feet 4 inches.
Whether or not the vaulters can top Beefus Bryan's mark of 14 feet 2 inches, which was set in 1939, will remain a question until April 17, but it's a good bet that Cooper will win.

Fortune Gordien, Gopher's great shot put and discus thrower, is said to be the most talkative weight men ever to push the 16 pound ball or sail the disc.
His father was a magician for many years, which may account for some of the magic the big Norwegian displays on the track. Gordien seems almost a cinch to top the Kansas Relays record of 52 feet $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches in the shot put, and 171 feet $6\frac{3}{4}$ inches in the discus.

According to coach "Bill" Easton, the report that Texas's Jerry Thompson beat Bob Karnes in the last leg of the 2 mile relay at the Texas Relays last week after Karnes had a 40 yard lead is not true. Coach Easton said that the distance separating the two runners was more like 20 yards.
"The 880 is not really Bob's race, but he ran a 1.57 half anyway, which is exceptionally good time. Thompson was just too fast," Easton explained. His time for the 880 was 1.53.
Karnes will get another chance to run against Thompson at the Kansas Relays in a longer race. The story may be a little different next time.

"Little but mighty" is a good way to describe Bruce Henock, star day-hawker javelin threater. Although Bruce stands only about 5 feet 9 inches he can toss the javelin with the best of them. His best throw is close to 190 feet and that is quite a heave. Although overshadowed by Karl Ebel last year, Henock was always around to pick up points. Now that Ebel has traded his javelin for a baseball, Bruce has become the top spear-thrower.

The reason Bob Crowley did not successfully defend his broad jump title at the Texas Relays was because of an injured leg.
Bob has been bothered by a bad leg all this year, and he had not jumped for distance since the Big Seven meet before going to Texas. Despite his leg Bob will be pushing 24 feet in the broad jump before the end of the outdoor season, Coach Easton predicts.
Training Camp Briefs
Waco. Tex.-Powered by four home runs, the Chicago Cubs were back in the "black ink" today after five straight defeats.

Delta Chi And Phi Delt Meet Friday In Finals
Delta Chi today loomed as a serious threat to knock off the unbeater Phil Delt's in the fraternity "A" volleyball finals at 7:30 tonight.
The two power-laden teams advanced to the finals Wednesday by eliminating A.T.O. and Sig Ep. Phi Delt and Beta slammed out victories over Edgehill Roader's and Sigma Nu to qualify for the fraternity "B" finals.
Spooner Thayer, Dream Team, Dix club, and the Beginner's won first-place contests in the independent "A team of five" teams are to be played this afternoon.
Although twice-beaten in regular play, Delta Chi is expected to give Phi Delt a bad time. Delta Chi has steadily improved and Bob Holmer and Otto Schnellbacher are two of the biggest trouble-shooters in the tournament.
Phi Delt A Favorite
Phi Delt was a pre-tournament favorite to cop its second straight "A" volleyball championship. Stars Sam Harris, Harold England, and Clark Churchill are Phi Delt's main hope.
Bob Holmer's sizzling spikes enabled Delta Chi to squelch A.T.O. 16 to 14 and 15 to 13 in the most thrilling matches of the playoffs. Jim Mason and Jack Eskridge turned in star performances for the losers. A.T.O. defeated Delta Chi in division play.
Phi Delt ousted Sig Eip 15 to and 15 to 6 as standout performances by Harold England, Sam Harris, and Clark Churchill paved the way. It was their seventh win in as many starts.
Gillin A Beta Star
Cards Sell Sisler To Philadelphia
Clare Gillin's slams gave the Beta's enough power to down Sigma Nu in a "B" game. The victors won by 15 to 12 and 15 to 8 counts. Phi Delt's "B" squad rolled over
Clearwater, Fla., April 8—(UP)—The opening day lineups of the Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals were taking shape today as a result of yesterday's swap between the two clubs.
Most observers agreed that the passing of Sisler from the Cardinals' scene meant that Stan Musial would once again be playing first base for the Redbirds this season. At the start of spring training, the St. Louis plans called for Sisler to play first and Musial to go back to the outfield.
In the deal, the Phils gave shortstop Ralph LaPointe and about $20,000 in cash to the Cards for first baseman Dick Sisler.
Sisler, 26-year-old son of the famed first-baseman George Sisler, understudied Musial at the base last year and batted 203 in 46 games.
With Musial out, the Card outfield lineup appeared to be Erv Dusak, Ron Northey and "Country" Slaughter, with Terry Moore perhaps breaking in.
St. Petersburg, Fla. — Manager Bucky Harris of the New York Yankees today described the comeback of outfielder Charley Keller as "the most encouraging development of the spring training season."
The Yankees were en route to Augusta, Ga., where they open a seven-game tour today. They trained here for 38 days and Harris called his squad "good enough to repeat" as world champions.
Columbus, Ga—Home runs by Stan Musial, Nippy Jones, and Whitie Kurowski were the big blows yesterday as the St. Louis Cardinals blasted their Columbus farm hands of the Sally league, 8 to 2.
☆ ☆
Musial's round-tripper carried 430 feet to left center. Rookie pitcher Ken Johnson held Columbus to three hits in seven innings.

the Edgehill Roader's, 15 to 4 and 15 to 10, to keep its record unblemished. Big guns in the Phi Delt attack were Bob Fountain, Oliver Samuels, and Jordan Haines.
Spooner Thayer, led by Bob Bock, handed the Mavericks a pair of 15 to 5 losses to move into the semifinals of the independent "A" bracket.
Jim Briley, Gene Mische, and Charles Apt paced the Beginner's to 15 to 12 and 15 to 11 victories over a fighting Law School entry. Smooth-working Dix club downed 1022 club 15 to 3 and 15 to 10.
