KU Outdoor Trackmen Open Season Saturday
The indoor version of this year's Jayhawker track team will receive its birth of fire Saturday at Austin, Texas when they tackle a strong field at the annual Texas Relays.
With the Big Seven cross-country title and a second place in the winter indoor meet in Kansas City already on the books in his first year at the University. Bill Easton is looking@
to a hectic spring outdoor season with a skeptic's eye.
The Jayhawkers have a grueling seven-game outdoor schedule that will keep them running and jumping almost every weekend for the remainder of the semester. Easton will have to squeeze the maximum out of the talent on hand to corner much glory this spring.
Last year's terrific javelin troupe, which placed 2-3-4-5-6 at the conference outdoor carnival, is full of holes. At present there isn't a standout candidate for the remaining two weight events, the hurdles or the sprints.
Again the Kansans will be long on distance power with Bob Karnes, Hal Moore and Bob Morris. They boast standout field men in high-jumper Tom Scofield, broad-jumper Bob Crowley and javelin-peger Bruce Henoch. They will carry capable strength in the 440 and 880, but lack balance and depth for dual meet competition.
Weak In Weights
Easton scored a major surprise in his Mt. Oread debut last November at Ames when Karnes, Moore and Hall Hinchie led the pack home in the conference two-mile meet.
Milers Are Strong
The Hawkers' distance power plus Scofield, Henoch, and Crowley, should win points in the major carnivals. Moore set a new Big Seven indoor mile record in February at 4:18.6 and Karnes was only a foot off the pace. Both figure to run around 1:57 in the half which means they will carry the load in the distance medley and two mile relays this spring.
Easton owns two other creditable half milers in Dick Shea, who romped second at the conference indoor, and Winton Studt. The Jays boast a trio of respectable quarter-milers in Johnny Sties, Bill Binter, and Dick Wagstaff, the latter of whom finished fifth indoors.
Scofield, national junior A.A.U. champion last year, holds both the loop indoor and outdoor records and usually is good for 6 feet, 6 inches. Crowley hit 23 feet to place second behind Missouri. Bob Teel, in the hoop court, will be defending his Texas shot on Saturday.
May, Have, Jawabu, Chama
Henoch, despite his 'mere 145 pounds, may be the loop's best Javelin thrower. He whisked the spear as far as 193 feet last season and should approach that mark several times this spring. The veteran Leroy Robison will help him but the other Javelin aces of last year are gone. Karl Ebel, a potential 200-footer, is trying to make the baseball grade as a pitcher; Cliff King, a 183-footer, has transferred to another school; and Bob Kline, who was consistently around 180 feet, is by-passing varsity competition this year.
Robison and Charlie Penny have been joined by football center Ralph Brown in the shotput and discus, but so far none have been outstanding. Easton hopes to take up some of the slack in the Javelin with another gridder, Bob Drumm.
Sophomores Al Apitz and Darrell Norris will carry the hurdles load. Lee Schloeser, who missed the indoor season, may give the sprint department a lift. Norris will double in the pole vault along with Herman Wilson, who was knocked out of the indoor meet with a sprained ankle. Delvin Norris and Bill Richardson will back Seofield in the high jump with Howard Nearing and Bob Bunton filling out the broad jump roster.
Training Camp Briefs
Phoenix, Ariz., March 31—(UP)—Manager Ted Lyons today planned further juggling of his Chicago White Sox in field in an effort to find a winning combination.
Lyons has decided to turn veteran shortstop Luke Appling into a third baseman to save the wear-and-tear on his 38-year old legs. Tony Lupien is set as the first baseman but the second and short spots are undecided. One keystone combination has Cass Michaels at second and Floyd Baker at short, while the other has Don Kolloway at second and Jack Wallasea at short.
Baker and Michaela played yesterday as the Sox took a 13 to 7 pounding from the Chicago Cubs. Hal Jefcoat's four safeties led the Cub's 17 hit attack as they ended a five-game losing streak and took a 4 to 2 lead in the intra-city series.

St. Petersburg, Fla. — Charley Keller, the question mark of the New York Yankee outfield, was slated to make his season's debut today in an exhibition game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Keller, who was one of baseball's most powerful hitters before he was sidelined by a back injury last year, planned to play five innings. He underwent an operation during the winter on a broken disk in his spine.
Tampa, Fla.—The Cincinnati Reds today listed a string of five straight exhibition victories after an 11 to 0 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday.

Since the past performances mean nothing in this battle between the super-team of A.A.U. play and the super-team of collegiate circles, the men who lay the odds refused to take any bets either way. If they were, they said they would make the Oilers six-point choices.
New York, March 31—(UP)—The rival coaches were agreed that the Phillips Oilers should beat the Kentucky Wildcats in tonight's finale of the Olympic basketball tournament, but the fans in the street couldn't make up their minds.
Omar "Bud" Browning, young Phillips coach, was quite willing to go out on a limb in picking his team to win, and coach Adolph Rupp of Kentucky clambered out on the same branch.
Browning, Rupp Both Pick Phillips To Whip Kentucky
"Kentucky has a great team, the best of the colleges," Browning said of his rivals, "but I believe the Oilers can beat any team in the country and I mean that sincerely." Run easily.

"They've got just too must experience and height for us," said the Wildcat boss. "I honestly don't think we can win. If we do it will be a miracle, and miracles just don't seem to happen any more."
Rup sadly agreed.
Some cage sages were naming the Oilers as 20-point favorites, while others were saying just as loudly $ \textcircled{1} $ that Kentucky should win by 10.

In most games they have played, the Wildcats have enjoyed a huge height advantage with 6-foot, 7-inch Alex Groza in the bucket and 6-foot 4-inch Wallace "Wah Wah" Jones up forward. But this time the shoe is on the other foot.

Atlas, so mythology tells us, carried the world on his shoulders. We know how he must have felt for today we are carrying the biggest power load in our history. More electricity is being produced and delivered today than ever before, yet each month, the demands for Reddy Kilowatt's services are increased.
Today, we are engaged in an enormous construction program trying to make up for the war years when restrictions would not allow us to build ahead for the future. Our program during the next three years calls for increasing our capacity by more than tilty percent.
Now, We Know How ATLAS Felt!
