KU Places In 3 Events As Texas Wins Meet
Jayhawker trackmen copped three places in the Texas Relays at Austin Saturday as the University of Texas again won its own annual track and field show.
Tom Scofield, K. U. highjump specialist, tied for second in his event with a leap of 6 feet 6 inches. The two-mile relay team also finished second and Bob Crowley won third in the $ \textcircled{9} $
broad jump with a mark of 23 feet
1 inch.
In the two-mile relay, a great anchor lap by Jerry Thompson, in which he overcame a 40-yard lead held by K.U.'s Bob Karnes, gave Texas first over the Jayhawkers. Thompson covered his half mile in 1:53.3.
Crowley Not At Best
Crowley's best leap in the broad jump was five inches short of the mark which won him first place in the 1948 Texas Relays. Heintzman, Bradley university, won the high jump with a 6 feet $7 \frac{1}{2}$ inch jump.
Only two records were broken during the afternoon. Fortune Gordon of Minnesota tossed the discus 165 feet 9 1-3 inches to set a new mark in that event and a 3:17.2 time by Texas set a new mark in the mile relay.
Prather Trails Gordien
Rollin Prather trailed Gordien by only two inches in the shot with a heave of 51 feet, $7\frac{1}{2}$ inches. Piderit of Nebraska was third.
In the century dash Charley Parker led the pack, which included Nebraska's Junior Thompson, who placed third.
Training Camp Briefs
St. Petersburg, Fla., April 5-(UP)—Spring house-cleaning was on in earnest for the New York Yankees today, who handed walking papers to five players, including catcher Ralph Houk and pitcher Don Johnson.
Houk, a former army major who batted 272 in 41 games for the Yankees last season, was consigned to New York's Kansas City farm, along with pitcher Clarence Marshall and third baseman Jim Dyck. Johnson, a right-hander who won four and lost three with the Yankees during 1947, was sent to Newark of the International League with first baseman Joe Collins.
The St. Louis Cardinals, aided by Stan Musial's two-run homer in the ninth inning, edged the Yankees, 8 to 7, yesterday.

Court Data Is Released
Several Big Seven schools and players ranked high on the list of final national basketball averages released by the N.C.A.A. statistical bureau today.
Only actual national leader on the list was Iowa State's dubious distinction of leading the nation in personal fouls. The Cyclones averaged 23.7 fouls a game, with a healthy margin over second-place Oregon.
In eight place on the same list were the Missouri Tigers, with an average of 22 fouls a game, and Nebraska's Cornhuskers held 16th place with 20.8 miscues. One other Kansas team, Wichita university, was 20th with 20.7 fouls.
On the credit side of the ledger, the Big Seven was more strongly represented, Kansas State, Missouri, and Iowa State ranked on the team defense list; Colorado and Oklahoma were ranked for free throw consistency; Kansas State and Missouri were among the field goal percentage leaders; and players from these schools were on the individual lists of the last two departments.
Rolander Is Rough
Bob Rolander of Colorado, who fouled out of 11 of his last 12 games, shot to second place in the individual standings of personal fouls, trailing only Bob Brannum of Michigan State. Rolander averaged an even four fouls during the season, while the twin brother of Kansas State's center was in the wrong 4.09 times a game. Ray Wehde, Iowa State forward, was 14th with 3.68.
Kansas State was 23rd among national defense, won by the Oklahoma Aggies with a 32.5 mark; the Wildcats allowed 45.8 points per game. Missouri with 47.1 and Iowa State with 48.0 were 31st and 40th respectively.
Buffs Good on Charities
Colorado ranked sixth in the country on free throw percentage with a .664 rating. Oklahoma, making 65.2 per cent of its charities, was 14th. Kansas State was seventh nationally in field goal percentage with 33.9 per cent of its shots counting; and Missouri, hitting 31.6 per cent, was 16th.
Among the outstanding individuals in these two departments were Howard Shannon of Kansas State who hit 87.3 per cent of his free throws for third place nationally, and Oklahoma's Paul Courty, who hit 76.7 per cent. Rick Harman, Kansas State forward, finished in 11th place in the nation in field goal percentage by hitting 41.5 per cent of his shots, or roughly 21 out of every five.
