Three events in the Missouri Valley A.U.A. Decathlon which was run off Friday and Saturday produced better winning marks than were made in the regular competition of the Relays.
Jack McEwen of Colorado won the Decathlon broad jump Friday with a leap of 24 feet, 3 inches. McGinnis of Nebraska took the same event Saturday with a jump of 22 feet, $6_{1/2}$ inches.
Ross Nichols of the Oklahoma Aggies captured the Decatom high jump Friday by topping the bar at 6 feet, 5 inches. Tom Scofield of Kansas and Monte Kinder of Nebraska tied for first Saturday by leaping 6 feet $1 \frac{3}{4}$ inches. The comparison is not accurate here, however, since Scofield and Kinder were forced to jump indoors. Take-off is more difficult beneath the stadium and always yields poorer marks.
Charley Black turned in a winning height of 11 feet, 9 inches for the Decathlon pole vault Saturday. McClay of Kansas State, Blackwell and Knapp of Missouri, Dean of Oklahoma A. A. and M., McKee of Colorado, and Moore of Ottawa all tied for the pole vault title on the regular card with leaps of 11 feet, 6 inches.
Here are firsts for the Jayhawker home baseball season gleaned from the opening game of Thursday's double-header with the Kansas State Wildcats:
First walk—Sheriff of the Wildcats was walked by Hammer of Kansas.
First hit-Atkins of Kansas State in the first inning. He batted four for four in the contest.
First strikeout—Hammer of Kansas whiffed Bartley of the Wildcats. Bartley led off the batting order for the Manhattan nine.
First extra-base hit—"Bud" French of the Jayhawkers pounded out a truble.
First stolen base—Gorman of Kansas pilfered second.
First error—Dean of the Wildcats committed the initial bobble.
First double play-Kansas State pulled the twin killing to cut off a Jayhawker threat.
First sacrifice—Wolcott of Kansas laid down a bunt.
First home run-"Bud" French of the Jayhawkers powered one of Jack Dean's pitches for four bases.
The sprint men from Baylor university were in very low spirits Friday night before the Relays, "Bullet Bill" Martineson, the pint-sized speed merchant who runs anchor on the Baylor relay teams and who holds two victories over Charley Parker of Texas in the 100-yard dash this year, was suffering from a sprained ankle and it appeared he might not be ready for Saturday's races.
Martineason soaked his ankle and placed it under a sun lamp Friday night. After taping it up well Saturday morning, he declared himself ready to go. The personable little dash man was unhappy over the wet weather. While warming up before the races he said:
"Im afraid this is Parker's day. He's bigger and has more power to buck this mud than I have."
Texas university nosed out the Baylor runners in both the quarter-mile and half-mile relays, but Martineson did not yield ground to Parker in the anchor lap of either race. In the quarter-mile relay, Parker and Martineson finished only a foot apart. It was the fourth time this year that Texas has triumphed by the same small margin over the Baylor quartet.
Strike Leaders To Confer
Washington—(UP) —The labor department today called in leaders of the striking National Federation of Telephone Workers to find out how much of a wage offer is needed to revive negotiations in the 17-day-old telephone strike.
'Phog' Of Negro Basketball Is 'Little Coach' McLendon
A record of 151 games won against 30 lost is basketball playing in any league. That is the record which has been established by coach John Norm, of North Carolina college for dives during the last eight seasons.

He went to North Carolina college in New York after coach Jesse Williams of the Northern High school in Lawrence from 1934 to 1936 and at the Kansas Vocational school in Topeka in 1937.
"Little Coach," as he is known by his associates, was appointed head basketball coach at North Carolina college in 1940. Since that year his teams have a winning per cent in the NCAA in either first or second place in the C.I.A.A. conference during the last seven years.

Honored In Booklet
Recently the athletic department of North Carolina college published a special booklet in honor of McLendon. It is titled "A Decade of Greatness." In it the president of the college, opposing coaches, former players, and numerous admirers join in praising the fine example which the Negro cage authority has set during his ten years at the school. The introduction to the booklet closes with these words: 'Whether winning or losing, McLendon has always been called a great coach and a perfect gentleman.'

Joe's Little Brother May Show Them All
New York—(UP)—Dom Dimaggio, the "little professor" who patrols center field for the Boston Red Sox, may give them all a lesson this year and wind up as the most valuable player in the American league, manager Joe Cronin insisted today.
Well, then, is the more famed Joe able to do more things and do them better?
Standing behind the batting cage, the taciturn little fellow with the ever-present spectacles didn't look at the ball player's ball player. But he is.
"Just let him get his basehits and he'll be there." Cronin said through a tip full of snuff as he watched the oongest of the famed Dimagroes.
"He can field, he can run the bases
and he can hit the balls added."
"They don't come any better."
"I don't know anybody who could do any more or do it any better." Cronin barked. "There's a real ball player."
Lawrence Surplus 911 Mass.
Whether it's a bat, steaming around the bases or playing out in the garden, little Dom backs up those words with a fluid grace. One look is enough to mark him as a Dimaggio, cut from a smaller pattern than the lanky Joe of the New York Yankees.
"No." Dom said, "Joe never volunteered any tips to me about my hitting and I never asked him. It's not true, and we both know it, because Joe is the best wrestler and I'm stumpy. Anyway, we don't talk much about baseball."
Not that Joe ever helped Dom reach his present status of stardom with the Red Sox.
