Despite stiff competition from Southwest conference and Big Nine schools, the Big Six held its own in the Kansas Relays Saturday. Nebraska furnished the javelin victor and earned a runner-up award winner in McGimnis. Monte Kinder of the Cornhusker squad tied for first in the high jump.
Drake won the four-mile relay for the second straight year. Texas A. and M. repeated its 1946 victory in the mile relay. Southwest High school came through with another win for Kansas City, Mo., high schools. Lawler of Texas again won the 100-vard dash.
Six defending champions were successful in their bids for top honors. Scofield came through in the high jump to add to his victory in the Relays here last year. Grote was again the javelin champion, although Karl Ebel of Kansas/ was only $7\frac{1}{4}$ inches behind him.
Allen Lawler won the 100-yard dash final in .997. This time was he the same number last year's record, but the clock was unset on Saturday than it was in 1946.
Missouri won the two-mile relay and had two of the six men who tied for first in the pole vault. Oklahoma won the sprint mendley relay. Kansas State had one man in the first place pole vault deadlock. Kansas had Tom Scofield who tied Kinder for the high jump title.
The wet track did not prevent some remarkably fast times in the 100-yard dash preliminaries and finals. The times for the three preliminary heats were :69.7, :69.8, and :69.9.
North Texas State won the half-mile relay in 1317. In 1946, the winning time (by Howard Payne) was 145.2 seconds and is amazing how fast some of the times were Saturday despite poor running conditions.
The college distance medley race was also won by South Dakota State. The time was 11:25. Peru, Nebr.
Teachers won the event in 1946 in 11:28.
The two-mile college relay was won by South Dakota State in 8:22.8 Emporia State captured the event last year in 8:36.8.
The South Dakota State quartet which won the above two races is composed of four freshmen. They had a meet up in South Dakota on Friday. After the meet, the coach told them he didn't see how they could make Lawrence in time for them they begged to give them a chance in their big meet, so he drove all night to bring them here in time to compete. And they really proved their stuff on the cinder track Saturday.
Fortune Gordien of Minnesota won the shot put with a heave of 51 feet, $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches. In 1946, Creese of Colorado took the title with a toss of 47 feet, $4\frac{3}{4}$ inches. Big Ed Quirk of Missouri hit 47 feet, $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches this year but didn't even qualify. This surprised many of the experts since Quirk has a previous distance of 53 feet, 1 inch to his credit and was the N. C. A. A. shot put champion two years ago.
Gordien also annexed the discus title. The Minnesota strong man sailed the platter 154 feet, 4 inches in the rain. Thompson of Camp Grant won the event last year with a toss of 142 feet. 9 inches.
North Texas State won the college mile relay in 3.30.8 this year. Emporia State had the victorious quartet in 1946, but the winning over a dry track was 3.31.7, again not as good as this year's mark.
From the above examples it appears that Old Man Weather was alone responsible for this year's Relays escaping a case of acute record-breakitis.

Note: Connie is a young 84 +
and in his 63rd year of baseball.
