140 High School Track Teams To Battle For Titles Here April 18
More than 140 high schools will compete in the 43rd annual University of Kansas Interscholastic track and field meet April 18.
Champions in all classes will defend their records. Wichita East will try for its fifth consecutive crown in Class AA. Marysville, Class A, and Prairie, Class B, each will seek their third straight win.
The East's Blue Aces are expected to extend their string of champion-
Merrillville and Pretty.
The East's Blue Aces are cap-
ships, but Marysville and Pretty
Prairie may find some stiff com-
petition.
At least a dozen crack sprinters will run, which means that the competition for the five places in each of the dashes will be close. Beck Strong In Century
The sprints will have such stars as James Battle and Alfred House of Summer; Bill Wall of Hutchinson; Melvin Van Gilder and Jim Savage of Wichita North; Ted Hoffman of Pittsburgh; Lyn Smith of Shawnee Mission; Wally Bemore of Haskell and Eob Near of Lawrence. Battle, Wall, Jernigan and Van Gilder placed in the 220 at the state meet last spring.
In opening meets this spring, Wally Beck, Shawnee Mission sophomore, had the best 100-yard dash time of 10.2 seconds. In the relays, he will face three place-winners at the 1946 state meet, Clarence Jernigan and Royal of Wichita East and Bob Klotz of Junction City.
Van Gilder's best performances are in the quarter-mile, in which he is defending state champion. Other 440 men of note are Bill Swearer and Jerry LeCocq of East; Don White of Pittsburg; John Oswalt of Hutchinson; Glenn Gates of Ottawa and Andy Lillich of Argentine.
White To Defend 880 Mark
A second state champ, Tom White of Wyandotte, will defend his record in the half-mile run. He will be pressed however, by three other point winners at the state meet; Bob Williams of Fort Scott; Bob Garcia of El Dorado and Don Williams of East.
The fields in the two hurdle races show few men doubling in these events this year. Roger Crawford of Shawnee Mission and Herb Clark of Junction City are expected to place in both hurdle races. Other contenders are concentrating on only one of these events.
Hurdlers Plentiful
Burtles Hills
In the high hurdles, outstanding entries are Jack Lambert and Adrian King of Topeka; Lloyd Mairs of Argentine and Don Nichols of North.
The low-hurdles stars include Merton Moore of Haskell, third place man at the state meet; East High's Jernigan; Don Young of Wichita North and Doyle Gilstrap of Arkansas City.
Top contender in the field events is Dick Johnson, Lawrence, a three event athlete, who hopes to sweep the weight events. In the shot put, he will match tosses with Talton Pace of Hutchinson and Renrof, Shawnee Mission sophomore. In
the discus he will meet Pace, Ostanic of Wyandotte and Gott of East. In the javelin throw his best rivals will be Bruce Rathbun of Topeka and Patterson of Leavenworth.
Southern Negro Ball May Be Sanctioned
Tulsa, Okla. — (UF) —Plans for a nationwide Negro sandlot baseball movement will begin at a meeting in Tulsa tomorrow and Sunday.
Ray Dumont, Wichita, president of the national baseball congress, said the first step would be to plan a Dixie championship Negro tournament at Dallas, Tex., starting July 9.
State champions from tournaments throughout the South would compete. The Dallas winner would be crowned Dixie Negro champion for the 12th annual national tournament at Wichita, Kan., Aug. 15 to 27.
"The best talent in Negro baseball is in the South" Dumont said. "However, Southern Negroes have never had the incentive to play non-professional baseball because they have been barred from state tournaments. Under the new plan, negro baseball should show a tremendous boom."
Dodger-Yank Game Scheduled Today
New York—(UP)—Eyes of the baseball world were focused on Ebbets field today where the Brooklyn Dodgers, with a temporary manager and a new first baseman, prepared for the invasion of the New York Yankees.
The Dodgers, who are being handled by Clyde Sukeforth, purchased Negro Jackie Robinson from Montreal Thursday and Sukeforth indicated that the 1946 International league batting champion would be in the Brooklyn line-up Thursday. The team will play on Thursday, 4 to 3, with Al Campanis and Don Lund of the Royals each hitting a home run.
Manager Bucky Harris of the Yankee pared his squad by sending catcher Gus Niarhos to the Kansas City Blues of the American association; infielder Jack Phillips to Newark of the International league, and pitcher Johnny Maldovan to Portland of the Pacific Coast league.
The Chicago Times was the first newspaper to use banner headlines.
