APRIL 16, 1947 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FIVE Seven High School Track Records May Be Beaten At Meet Friday This year's group of high school track men will have a good chance to snap three records and endanger four others when they meet here Friday for the 43rd running of the Kansas Relays Interscholastic track and field meet. Nine of the records on the 16 event card appear to be safe for another year, but exceptional ability and keen competition plus help from the Johnson May Break Record weather man is quite likely to rewrite a part of the remaining seven standards. Best bet to surpass a current record is Lawrence's track star, Dick Johnson. He has already thrown the discus past the record mark of 151 feet $8 \frac{1}{2}$ inches. This big all-state football end sailed the platter 153 feet 10 inches at the Ottawa Relays, and is expected to improve that performance before the season closes. Two other records likely to fall are the 880-yard relay and the 880-yard dash. The baton mark, set by Wyandotte in 1932, was 1:31.5. Summer's fine in 1946 quartet cut this time by one tenth of a second in the state meet and three of the same team, Jim Battle, Jim Fisher and Walter Parker, are back this year. Al House, regional 220-yard dash champion, is the new fourth man. Wichita East won the 880-yard relay at the recent Ottawa Relays, nosing out Sumner by inches. Topeka hit a slow heat and finished fifth. Topeka, which ran second to Summer last year, has a returning trio off last year's team and is certain to be a dangerous contender. The three vets are Bruce Rathbun, Jack Lambert, and George Davis. Aces Won At Ottawa Wyandotte's Tom White is an even-bet as a record breaker in the 880-yard dash. White is defending state and Kansas Relays champion. He turned in a 2,03.5 to win here last April, only -02.3 over the current record. Under pressure he should easily set a new record. Other records on the danger list are the quarter-mile, 220-yard dash, 100-yard dash and the broad jump. Three defending Champs Return The Relays 440-yard standard of .50.8 hasn't been touched since 1933, but with three defending state champions slated to compete, it could be equalled or broken. The returning titlists are Melvin Van Gilder; Wichita North, class AA; John Carmody, St. Joe of Hays, class A, and Charles Parrish of Pittsburg College high class B. Parish's best time of :51.5 and Van Gilder's of :51.6 are both within a second of the record. Carmody ran a .51.9 to win his crown last spring. Independence's great sprinter of the late '70s, Dick Overfield, blazed two fine sprint marks into the book here in 1938, a 99.9 hundred and a 22-flat 220. Neither, however, is out of reach of this year's field. Big Ted Hoffman of pittsburgh already has turned in a .221 for the 220 in his first meet of the season. Olathe Star Will Run Again Bob Miller, Olathe School for the Deaf's chunky sprinter, clocked a :22.3 here last year to take the 220 and was nosed out for first place in a 10-flat hundred by less than a foot. He is capable of equalling both existing dash marks this year. Also worthy of mention is Wally Beck of Shawnee-Mission. He clipped off a :10.2 hundred in his school's first meet of the season. Harold Hoskins of Bennington is the top threat in the broad jump. Winner of the class B state title for the past two years, Hoskins should be set for his best year. Oldest records in the relays book are the medley relay held by Elkhar and the shot put held by Elwyn Dees of Lorraine. Both were set in 1930. Glenn Cunningham, the famous Kansas iron horse, anchored Elkhorn's 3:14. effort while Dees, also a former Jayhawk athlete, was heaving the shot 58 feet 10 inches. Managers To Check Bulletin Boards Don Powell, director of men's intramurals, requests all managers of intramural teams to check the bulletin board in Robinson gymnasium for schedule revisions.

Unreasonable Women Wet Grounds Postpone K-State Baseball Game Louisville, Ky.—(UP) — Circuit Judge Lawrence Speckman didn't hesitate in granting a divorce on the plea of a woman whose name was withheld. She told the court, "When ever he went out with other women he'd dress fit to kill. But never when he went out with me." The baseball game scheduled for today with Kansas State has been postponed until tomorrow because of wet grounds, Vic Bradford, head baseball coach, said today. The postponed contest will be played as part of a doubleheader tomorrow. The first game, a 7-inning affair, will begin at 2 p.m. Five Teams Win Volleyball Matches Results of volleyball games played Tuesday found TKE defeating Sigma Nu, Phi Psi winning from Spooner Thayer, Phi Gam over Battenfeld, Sigma Chi over Delta Chi, and ATO winning by a forfeit from Phi Kappa. The Phi Gam's leaders in the total point sweepstakes, had a hard time defeating a determined Battenfield team. The losers won the first game 16-14, but Phi Gam took the next two 15-12 and 15-5 to prevent an upset. TKE was not pressed to win from Sigma Nu 15-9 and 15-4. Phi Psi took Spooner 15-4, and 15-7, while Sigma Chi defeated Delta Chi 15-9 and 15-12.
