Records May Fall At Kansas Relays With Big Field Of National Stars
Twelve of the 14 university class champions from the Texas Relays will try for more track and field laurels here, April 19, at the 22nd running of the Kansas Relays. This will be the Midwest's second major outdoor track and field carnival this year.
The title holders, one of them a record breaker from the Texas meet, will join men from the Rocky Mountain, Big Ten, Missouri Valley and Big
Six conferences in what should be the biggest and best Relays in the history of the event.
Potential record smashers will be the Texas two-mile relay team which turned in a 10:11.9 recently to finish just ahead of the Kansas team and wipe out a nine-year-old standard set by North Texas State. Most of the credit for the new record goes to Jerry Thompson, the Longhorn's tiny miler who chalked up a 4:13.0 in the anchor lap of the event to hang up the fastest mile ever run in the Lone Star state.
Other Texas Relays victors to be seen in action here will include: Drake in the four mile relay; Baylor's Bill Martineson in the 100-yard dash; Rollin Prather, Kansas State giant, in the shot put and discuss throw; Herb Grote of Nebraska, javelin; the Texas 440 and 880-yard relay teams; Monte Kinder of Nebraska, who tied for first in the high jump; Don Cooper, also of the Cornhuskers, who won the pole vault, and Bob Crowley, Jayhawker jumping ace, who took the broad jump crown.
Prather A Shot Put Threat
Crowley, runner-up in the Big Six indoor meet earlier this season, leaped 23 feet $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches for his best performance, to take the Texas broad jump field by surprise. Continued improvement may move the little Jayhawker near the 24 foot mark by Kansas Relays time.
Prather, who was top individual performer at the Texas event with a total of 10 points, will be one of the most impressive field event entries. He tossed the shot 50 feet $8 \frac{3}{4}$ inches and the discus 151 feet $2 \frac{1}{4}$ inches to win his double crown. Hell'll be in faster company here with Missouri's Ed. Quirk and Minnesota's Fortune Gordien both scheduled for action in the same two weight events.
Drake Strong In 4-Mile
With the addition of Bill Mack and Fred Feiler, Drake will be favored for an easy triumph in the four-mile event. The Bulldogs won without difficulty at Austin, with neither of these two aces in their lineup. Feiler has twice won the national cross-country crown.
The Texas team will use its usual group of fast sprinters in the quarter-mile and half-mile relay events. Their foursome of Perry Samuels, Charlie Tatum, Allen Lawler and Charlie Parker tied their own meet's quarter-mile relay mark with a 4:14 in nosing out Baylor's fast team.
Desmond Kidd will probably join Samuels, Lawler and Parker in the half-mile relay here. That quartet turned in a 1:27.5 in winning their event at Texas.
Cooper cleared the bar at 13 feet to win his specialty, but will face an adept foe when he meets Harold Bateman of Colorado. Bateman arched over the same height to win the event here last year.
K.U. Wins Dual Meet With Emporia State
The Jayhawker track team won 12 of 15 events in defeating Emporia State college, 104 to 27, in a dual meet Thursday. The University swept all places in the 440-yard dash, low hurdles, and shot put.
