Texas, Minnesota May Shatter Track Records At Kansas Relays
Fourteen schools have submitted lists of entries for the 22nd annual Kansas Relays to date.
They are:
University class—Texas and Minnesota.
College class—Peru Teachers, Pittsburg Teachers, Washburn, East Texas State, Stephen F. Austin College, Abilene-Christian, Ft. Hays Teachers, and Wichita University.
65 Schools May Enter
Junior college class—Coffeyville, Chanute, Dodge City, and Baca-Prowers.
Close to 65 schools are expected to enter when all applications have been received. Most universities and colleges wait until the deadline before sending entries in order that the most accurate line on track material may be had before personnel is assigned.
The two schools entered so far in the university class, Texas and Minnesota, will bring contestants who stand a good chance of shattering some of the Relays records.
Gophers Have Discus Champ
The Golden Gophers have Fortune Gordien to compete in the discus and shot put. The Minnesota strong man was 1946 N. C. A. A. discus champion. He also owns a mark of 52 feet, 11 inches in the shot.
Loyd LaMois of Minnesota holds the best bump record of any man in this section of the country. He has leaped 24 feet, 1 inch. Ray Tharp, the third star of the Gopher squad, won points last year at the Relays in both the high hurdles and broad jump.
Texas Strong In Relays
Texas will offer one of the strongest squads of runners in the Relays history. In the Texas Relays, the Longhorns captured four relay events—the distance medley, the two-mile, the 440-yard, and 880-yard.
The Texas quintet in the distance medley smashed a 9-year-old record cutting the time to 10:11.9 minutes. Jerry Thompson, anchor man, ran the mile lap in 4:13.0. This was the fastest mile ever run in the Lone Star state. The Kansas Relays record for the event is 10:12.7. The Texans would set a new standard April 19 if they should equal their best time.
May Break 440 Record
The 440-vard relay mark may be in danger. Perry Samuels, Allen Lawer, and Charley Parker of the Longhorn sprint staff all have run the 100-yard dash in 9.6 seconds or less. Charlie Tatum, fourth member of the quartet, is not far behind. The Relays mark is 40.5 seconds for the quarter mile event.
Lawler won the 100-yard dash here last year in 9.7 seconds, but Parker returned from the Army this year to take over the number one dash spot on the Longhorn team. Bullet Bill Martineson of Baylor in He will continue his sprint duel with the 100-yard event. Parker had won 58 straight races till T martineson defeated him in an early season meet
this year. A second meeting brought a victory for Parker, but Martinez again triumphed in the Texas Relays.
