K.U. Hopes For Track Victory Rise, But Missouri, Nebraska Favored
The Kansas track team will leave today for Kansas City where members will participate in the Middlewest's biggest indoor track carnival, the Big Six conference indoor track and field championship.
Hopes for a possible Kansas victory or a place among the top three rose today when Coach Tom Botts, of Missouri, announced that three of his
top performers will not be able to participate due to illness. The three are Bill Chronister, mile and half-mile entry; Bill Blackwell, sprinter; and Dick Schuster, sprinter.
Although Iowa State has taken the championship for the last three years, they have lost too many of their best men, and Nebraska and Missouri are favored for the top spots this year. The two teams will be men may mean the difference which will give Nebraska the edge and Kansas a place.
Kansas' greatest strength lies in the distance events where the two men who performed so well in meets against Missouri and Nebraska are expected to score again. Bob Ginn of Nebraska and Harold Moore of Kansas are expected to fight it out in the mile run, with Bob Karnes of Kansas close behind them.
Karnes, who set a Kansas Relays interscholastic record of 4:29.9 in the mile for Overbrook high in 1943, will be favored to take the two-mile event. He will be faced by a tough trio of Oklahomaans, Clarence Vick-lund, Lonnie Chapman, and John Canaris, who swept the event against Nebraska in that order, earlier in the season. Canaris is the defending indoor champion.
The most closely contested race of the meet will probably be the quarter mile. No less than six entrants are given a chance to cop this race, and experts around the conference just about agree that the winner will be the man lucky enough to draw the pole position. The five possible winners are: John Alexander, defending champion from Iowa State; John Jackson, Kansas; Harvey Stroud and Bill Conner, Nebraska; Dick Ault, Missouri; and Landon Westbrook, Oklahoma.
Other top Kansas hopefuls are: Bob Crowley and Forrest Griffin, a pair of freshman broadjumpers; Frank Stannard and Griffin in the hurdles; and Leroy Robinson and Bill Wygle in the shotput.

Would Prohibit Courses
Jefferson City—(UP)—An attempt was defeated in the state senate to prohibit the teaching of physiology and dental hygiene in Missouri schools to children whose parents were a member of a "faith," which tenets were prayer, rather than medical aid to alleviate bodily illies.
Either Way, You Can't Win
Washington—(UP)—A senate subcommittee decided today that the best way to get some place is to go in opposite directions at the same time. For its own reasons, it approved two bills—one authorizing commemorative coins and the other outlawing them.
Let congress pass both, they said, and let President Truman pick the one he wants.
Dr. C. M. Marberg of the Midwest Research institute in Kansas City and authority on plastics and synthetic rubber, is teaching a one-hour seminar course in chemistry for graduate students at 4 p.m. Tuesdays in room 101 Bailey chemistry laboratories.

Runaway Pullman Crashes
Killing One In Pennsylvania
Altoona, Pa. — (UP)— A pullman coach broke loose from the Pennsylvania railroad's "Sunshine Special" on Cresson mountain today and ran wild over three miles.
A porter was killed and 10 passengers and a flagman were injured when the car jumped the tracks and crashed into an embankment.
The crew members stood helpless as the pullman broke away and picked up speed to race down the mountain. The car sped past Bennington curve, where 10 days ago the Red Arrow express leaped the tracks to plunge into a gully and kill 24 persons.

Fun Festers Play At Annual W.A.A. Party
Approximately 75 women attended the annual Woman's Athletic association Fun Fest Thursday night
The fun festers tossed rings at posts, dropped beans into pop bottles, flipped pennies at a saucer afloat in a tub of water, tried a free throw with a basketball, and played cage ball.
For two relays the women were divided into four teams by the color of the card they received at the door.
Points were given for participation in all the events to teams and individuals. A team prize of a box of chocolates went to the team lead by Frances Chubb, and as individual high scorer, Dorothy O'Connor won a cosmetic set. The booby prize went to Mary Ann Sawyer.
Refreshments were served at the end of the party. Proceeds from the Fun Fest will help send two K.U. delegates to a W.A.A.national convention in Greensboro, N. C., in April.
