Track Squad To Texas For First Spring Meet
The Kansas track squad will make its first outdoor appearance tomorrow at the Texas Relays, sending three field event performers and a pair of relay teams to Austin.
Broadjumper Bob Crowley will be the only titleholder attending from K. U., but he will be hard pressed to repeat over such stars as Texas' John
robertson and Minnesota's Loyd LaMois. Robertson is a former N.C.A.A. champion in the event. Mola-Moah third at Salt Lake City last year.
Crowley's last effort, a 23-foot jump in the Big Seven indoor meet, brought him a second place. He won the Texas Relays with a jump of 23 feet 6 inches, but both Robertson and LaMois are capable of 24-foot jumps.
Scofield Is Favored
Tom Scocfield, Jayhawker high jump king who holds the Big Seven indoor and outdoor championships and records, will be given his sternest test to date by Jack Heintzman of Bradley but is favored to win his event. He and Heintzman tied for second in the National A.A.U. event last year. Scofield missed last season's Texas Relays because of a knee injury.
Coach Bill Easton said that the Kansas runners probably will provide entries in three relay events, including the distance midley where most of the Kansas strength lies. With Bob Karnes, conference cross-country and two-mile champ and photo-finish loser in the indoor mile, Hal Moore, indoor mile king, Dick Shea, runner-up indoors in the half mile, and Bill Binter or Dick Wagstaff in the quarter, the Jayhawkers present a strong team in the medley.
Henoch No. 1 With Javelin
The Jayhawker weight and javelin corps is greatly weakened by the loss of Karl Ebel and Charlie Black, but if midgger thrower Bruce Henoch can come up with a 190-foot toss the Jayhawkers may come back with the javelin title. L.S.U.'s Bobby Lowher is the strongest threat in the javelin, but his best throw of the year is 186 feet.
Veteran Leroy Robison, football center Ralph Brown, and Fred Bein will have a try at the discus and shot put, and Robinson and Bob Drumm will aid Henoch, in the javelin.
The Relays, with 4 records in visible dange and classy competition breathing down the neck of others, opened preliminaries today with a field of 1,068 performers bristling with Olympic prospects.
High school events will hog the afternoon preliminaries, with only two University prelims scheduled to be run. They will be the 100-yard high hurdles and the 100-yard dash. Most Prelims Saturday
Other track event preliminaries will be run Saturday morning, in preparation for the big afternoon show, the first major outdoor track display of the year, with 18 university teams on hand.
Husky Fortune Gordien appeared more than a threat to take home two new relays' marks—in the shot put and discus throw. Against the Relays' record of 52 feet, $ \frac{4}{3} $ inches in the shot put, Gordien already has hit two feet better this season. The discus record of 165 feet, $ \frac{9}{2} $ inches is expected to wilt under a Gordien toss of near 170 feet.
The only stuff competition against Gordon is to come from Rollin Prather of Kansas State, the 1947 Relays' discus champ, and George Kadera of Texas A. & M.
Gordien and Prather also will furnish stiff opposition in the fight of Jerry Thompson, Texas' tiny distance runner, to retain the "most outstanding performer" trophy he took last year.
Relax Record In Danger
A third relay's record, of 3:17.8 in the one-mile relay set by Texas A. & M., is in danger of being shattered by an even faster Aggie quartet. The pole vault mark of 14 feet, $ \frac{8} {2} $ Inches, will come under the threat by Minnesota's Harry Cooper. Earle Meadows, former world's record holder, though not competing directly against the collegians, will make an attempt at the 14 foot, six-inch level in an exhibition.
The 1948 Texas Relays' entry list of universities was composed of Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Baylor, Bradley, Drake, Kansas, Kansas

will split up his 35-man squad for
in intra-squad skirmish at 4 p. m.
today.
The Jayhawkers were slated to travel to the College of Emporia today for a 2-game series but the would-be hosts were forced to back out at the last minute because of wet grounds.
The Jayhawkers need game experience, Sehon said, and an intra-squid tussle seems to be the only answer. Other intra-squid games will be played. Sehon said. The game will start at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Sehon is not sure who will start for the Blues today but the Red
