Kansas Relays Notes:
Glenn Cunningham, the famous Kansas miler, expressed the opinion that America's leading threat for the Olympic 1,500-meter title will be one of the current crop of young college distance men.
The "Iron Horse" said that the older runners will fade in the next year but that the younger college athletes will continue to improve more and more as they get back into condition after experience in the service.
The Baylor relay team was hoping to go to the Pennsylvania Relays next week-end, but the school authorities decided to keep them closer to home by sending them to the Drake Relays in Des Moines instead. The Baylor dash men, led by Bill Martineson and Stoney Cotten, are probably the second fast crew of sprinters in the nation, but they have faced the undefeated Texas university team in every meet this year and have always come in second best.
Two of the best mile bets for the future in this country performed for Cunningham to see Saturday. Jerry Thompson of Texas ran the anchor lap of the distance medley relay team in the unofficial time of 4:31. Bill Biddle, a member of his relay quartet to victory with a 4:34 mile. These times were exceptional considering the condition of the track after the early rains.
Stoney Catten, Baylor speed merchant who placed third in the open 100-yard dash, has shown remarkable improvement this season. J. D. Stovall, his track coach, said that Cotton's best time for the century last year was 10.4 seconds. This season he has already run one 9.8 race.

Head football coach George Sauer deserves an assist for helping the Jayhawker baseball team conquer the Kansas State Wildcats in two games here last Thursday. Sauer turned several of his gridders loose in time for them to play in the opening home baseball games of the season.
Vic Bradford, head baseball coach,
said after the double-header that
the batting punch of Red Hogan,
Bud French, and Dick Bertuzzi
made the difference between winning
and losing. The former Alabama football and baseball star said:
"If Hogan, Bertuzzi, and French had been around to bat and Dick Gilman had been available to pitch we would not have lost our two opening games with Nebraska up in Lincoln."

Phog's Back In Harness; Practice To Start Soon
The Jayhawker master was interviewed over the radio Wednesday night by Max Falkenstien. In referring again to the coaching work of Engleman, he said, "I don't believe I could have done any better myself."
Pleased With Engleman
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, perennial producer of basketball champions at the University, returned to Lawrence Wednesday after spending three months in California. He had been forced to take the vacation in the middle of the recent basketball season because of poor health.
Dr. Allen said: "I am feeling fine once again and am anxious to get back into the harness. I think Howard Engleman did a fine job of coaching the Kansas team in my absence. I congratulate him." Dr. Allen wrote:
Dr. Allen also clarified the case of Bob O'Brien, the 6-foot, 4-inch basketball star who enrolled at the University after spending time on the Kansas State campus. He said that the former Kansas City, Mo., Westport High school player had never enrolled at the Wildcat school. Therefore, since he has now enrolled at the University, he is fully within eligibility requirements. Plano, NC.
Blasts NCAA Code
The NCAA purity code came in for a brief blasting during the broadcast. Regarding the NCAA attitude toward subsidization of athletes, he said, "In this respect, the NCAA is following a stupid course. They are talking amateurism and practicing professionalism.
"Why don't they legalize paying athletes' board and room? I would suggest setting up a program, similar to the G.I. Bill of Rights for athletes, with a C average and other requirements made."
"Athletes Deserve It"
The Kansas cage boss closed his remarks by agreeing with the suggestion of "Frosty" Cox, Colorado basketball coach, that athletes deserve some financial aid in their schooling. He said that many fine athletes will never get to college unless some system is devised to help them meet expenses.
"These boys are not going to school to make money, but they will need help in order to go to school," he said.
ing crop of holdovers and some outstanding newcomers give the Jay-sawker coach title hopes for next year.
Dr. Allen has called a two weeks spring basketball practice beginning Monday. He has a tough job ahead in replacing such stars as Charley Black and Ray Evans, but a promis-
