Track Season Begins Saturday
The Kansas tracksters, who have had no opportunity to prove their power in competition, will open their 1946 indoor season Saturday against the powerful Oklahoma team at Norman.

These include Leroy Robison; in the shot putt; Jim Richey, dash man; Harold Moore and Harold Hinchee in the distance stints; Bob Laptad and Andy Lunsford in the middle distances; Sherbon Edmondson, high jump, Mel Stevens in the broad jump, and Dexter Welton, hurdles
With only an intra-squad meet as evidence of the team's ability, the 18-man squad will invade Norman as the first of a series of three road trips before the annual Big Six indoor track meet March 2.
Other road trips are scheduled against Missouri and Nebraska.
Robison, who hasn't completely recovered from last fall's broken collarbone in football, flipped the shot put 43 feet in the intra-squad meet. He may also run in the low hurdles.
The "Hurrying Harry's" - Hinchee and Moore - will be threats in both the mile and the 880. Moore was unbeaten in conference competition in the cross-country and finished sixth in the NCAA meet at Ann Arbor. Hinchee trailed Moore in second in most of the cross country meets.
Andy Lunsford, was the 440 champion twice in the KU. intersublastic relays while competing for Wichita North. John Jackson one of the squad's returning lettermen is

Barrel Shortage Adds To Distillers' Woes
Cincinnati (UP) —The hardpressed whisky makers have double trouble—not enough grain for whisky—not enough barrels to store it in.
Pursued during the war years by the problem of turning out enough whisky to quench the national thirst, the distillers now can't find enough white oak barrels to store the liquor they can make.
The government requires bonded whisky to be put up in white oak barrels—and they can be used only once.
But now white oak is scarce. One desperate Cincinnati firm has bought out a barrel factory to get a corner on the market. Other local firms are eyeing the idea with a jealous, thoughtful look. The problem is to find a barrel factory that is for sale.
also expected to bring home some points.
Edmondson, a short springy freshman, took the Washington state prep championship last spring and should approach six feet in the high jump.
Stevens stretched 20 feet 10 inches to win the intra-squad broad jump, and Welton, the Jayhawker's top hurdler, was only seven inches behind.

Here's a New Fish Story
Denison, Tex. (UP)—Fish story:
A worker at the Denison Dam drove his bulldozer into the lake before filling his radiator with water. When he dropped the machine's blade into the water to act as a brake, out flopped a two-pound bass, landing on the bank.
Drilling activity during the year accounted for 666 new oil wells and 98 new gas wells.
"Greetings" Said Uncle
New Orleans, La. (UP)—Montano A. Tejam came to the United States from the Philippines four years ago solely to study our customs service.
When he returned recently, he had completed his mission—and was wearing a gold discharge button in his lapel. Tejam, customs appraiser for the Philippine port of Cebu, was busily studying U.S. customs services in 1944 when he was drafted and served six months in the Army.
