Track Captain Tom Scofield Will Aim At Indoor Crown
Tom Soofield, K. U.'s outstanding high jumper and track captain, will be the target of many cyes when he starts to swing over the high jump bar at the "Big Seven" indoor track meet Saturday.
Scofield not only will be trying to lift the Jayhawker point totals this season, but will be shooting for top national ranking, and a possible berth on the American Olympic team. ◆
Although Tom's performance in the meet Saturday will have no bearing on the chances for an Olympic berth, it will give some idea as to his possibilities as a contender for the national title.
The best mark hung up by the blond haired jumper in his 5 year career at K. U. is 6 feet 7 5-8 inches. If he can equal or excell this mark by the close of this year's competition he will be among the top jumpers in the country.
In three indoor meets this year Scoffold has racked up three first places and has broken two meet records. He broke the Missouri field house record with a leap of 6 feet $4 \frac{1}{2}$ inches, and he topped the Nebraska indoor mark when he jumped 6 feet 4.7-8 inches.
"I believe most high jump records are too low," Tom stated, but added,
"I also believe it will be some time before any jumper clears 7 feet."
Besides being the Big Six outdoor high jump king for four straight years Tom is the National A. A. U. junior champion. In 1946 he won the high jump in both the Texas and Kansas Relays.
Scoffield's present plans include finishing school this spring and also include Caroline Merritt, from OK on whom he plans to marry this summer.
Pep Defends Title By TKO
Miami, Fla. Feb. 25—(UP)—Little Willie Pep, who a year ago wondered if he would be crippled for life, stood out today as one of the greatest all-around champions in featherweight boxing history.
In the rain-drenched Miami Orange Bowl last night Nep demonstrated explosively that he combines deadly punching with his superb boxing skill, as he scored a technical knockout in the tenth round over skinny Humberto Sierra of Cuba.
Making his second defense of the undisputed 126-bound championship, the hatchet-faced Italian from Hartford, Conn., floored Sierra four times and battered him into such helplessness that Referee Jack Dempsey stopped the bout at 22 seconds of the 10th round. It had been scheduled for 15 sessions.
Although the unexpectedly small crowd less than 10,000 took almost as thorough a bath physically as Promoter Clarence "Kay" Kantrowitz took financially, the rain did not dampen their enthusiasm for Pep's punching prowess.
The champion, who a year ago last month suffered nearly fatal injuries in a New Jersey airplane crash, displayed remarkable accuracy and power last night against the fastest and cleverest contender in the feather devise. Before the accident that caused leg and spinal injuries, Pep had been noted more for his speed and elusiveness than for his punch.
Promoter Kantrowitz has not yet announced the official attendance and gate, but the gross gate was estimated to be less than $7,000. On that basis Kantrowitz of Hartford would have lost money, for his promotional expenses were believed to approximate $93,000.
Pep received a guarantee of $32-
500 and Sierra was to receive 15
percent of the net gate.

Jimmie Never Had It So Good As At TI; Wonder How He'll Like Portsmouth?
San Francisco—(UP) The navy has put James Leroy Tefer in dry-dock while it investigates his story of being A.W.O.L. two years without leaving the Treasure island naval base.
Telfer said he went A. W. O. L. because of dissatisfaction over a forthcoming assignment on the aircraft carrier Lexington. He changed his name to James Leroy Johnson, but kept his rank of Watertender 3/c.
Telfer, 23, of Wichita, was listed as A.W.O.L. since Feb. 12, 1946, but he never really "went over the hill." He just changed his name and joined the baseball and bowling teams.
He said he had no trouble at all living on the island. He played baseball and bowled and also managed a Waves - softball team. The only place he didn't dare go were to his regular mess hall and his old barracks. He slept in abandoned barracks.
His only mistake was confiding his secret recently to friends. He told
