The two-day Los Angeles relays held last weekend brought together the greatest array of talent seen in the nation since before the war. Track stars from all parts of the nation competed and turned in exceptional performances in practically all events.
The top individual performer was "Pel-Mel" Patton, the University of Southern California speedster who turned in a time of 9.4 seconds for the 100-yard dash Saturday to equal the world's record.
We were looking over results of Friday's events and saw that Patton ran the century dash in 9.5 seconds that day to beat out Lawer of Texas and Barney Ewell, Negro star who competed unattached. Bill Martinezen of Baylor finished sixth in the preliminary race.
Patton won the 200 yard dash in 20.4 seconds. Ewell was second, of Texas third, Lawler fourth, and Stoney Cottine of Baylor fifth.
In the mile race, Thompson of Texas suffered his first defeat of the year, losing to Karver of Penn State. The winning time was 2:12. Leslie MacMitchell of the New York athletic club came in third
Bill Porter of Northwestern upset Harrison Dillard of Baldwin-Wallace in the 220-yard low hurdles. Porter's winning time was 22.7 seconds. Dillard captured the 120 highs in 14 seconds flat. Porter was second this time.
Thompson of the Los Angeles athletic club pushed the shot out to a mark of 53 feet, $10 \frac{3}{4}$ inches to take first. Fortune Gordien of Minnesota, Kansas relays winner, could do no better than fourth in the event.
The high jump was won by Coffman of Rice. His leap was 6 feet, 5 inches. Three U.C.L.A. jumps finished second, third, and fourth. Too bad Tom Scofield of the Jaya-hawker squad was busy in Lincoln that day and wasn't able to compete in the west coast meet. His 6 feet, $7\%$ inches would have given him an easy first.
The broad jump was won by Robertson of Texas. He leaped 24 feet, $ \frac{2}{4} $ inches. He looks like a good bet for a first in the Big Six-Southwest conference meet June 13. Harry Meginnis of Nebraska won the Big Six broad jump with 23 feet, $ \frac{8}{9} $ inches.
Minnesota strong men ranked one-two in the discus. Bob Fitch took with a toss of 171 feet, inches. Fortune Gordie was running-up.
Smith of the Olympic club won the pole vault at 14 feet, 6 inches. Earl Meadows, unattached Olympic pole vault champion in 1936 took second with a jump of 14 feet, 3 inches.

Evans Picked As Pitcher Of I-M Softball All-Stars
On the basis of all-opponent selections by softball managers, the 1947 intramural softball all-stars were named today by members of the University Daily Kansan intramural staff.
Only four players received decisive margins in the polling. Ray Evans, Phi Delt pitcher, was the only unanimous choice. Three Sigma Chi's McDonnell, short stop; Reddoch, catcher; and Connelly, outfield, were the other players who received substantial majorities.
Name Two at Third
Two men were picked to share third base honors. Dryden of the Delt's and Wreggleworth, Sig Ep, were chosen to fill this position. In addition to Connelly, three other players were selected for the outfield. They are Carroll, Phi Kappa; Auten, Phi Delt; and White, Sigma Chi.
The closeness of the balloting also made second team choices difficult. Two pitchers and two catchers were named on the second team, McNeive, Sig Ep, and Conboy, Beta, were tied for pitching duties. To complete the battery, Fitzpatrick, Phi Delt, and Collins, Die Hard, who were engaged in another close contest, were selected.
