... The track was in the best condition in some weeks for the meet Saturday. Times in all events were very good, with competition close though one-sided. One of the most thrilling races was the second heat of the mile relay, final event of the day. Topeka had already won the first heat, turning in a fast 3:36.7 time. Lawrence and Wichita North, possessing two of the best relay teams in the state, were scheduled to battle it out in the second heat. The first North righ runner pulled into an early lead, but he was pushed by the lead man all the way around the first lap.
The baton was passed twice smoothly enough, and then the third part of the Lawrence team, a tall Negro, fell in behind the second North trackster, the two runners now leading the field. As they rounded the far turn at the end of the backstretch the LMHS runner attempted to pass the North man, and for a while the two were running in a dead heat. Between the last two turns, however, tragedy befell the Red and Black home towners. The big colored boy suddenly lost his stride, and pitched headlong onto the track.

even Jesse Owens could have caught him.
The All-American football league seems to be doing its utmost to outdo its twenty-five year old rival, the National Football League. Big question now is whether the embryonic conference can live up to its advance notices. Yesterday a board of directors voted visiting teams a top guarantee of $15,000, $5,000 more than is guaranteed by N.F.L.
Another interesting sidelight to the directors meeting arises in the proposed Kansas City franchise. Dr. D. M. Nigro, representing a K.C. group, had asked for the league's eighth franchise, but action in the matter was deferred when he made it known that an acceptable playing site would probably not be available in the immediate future.

K. State footballers give the impression of being air-minded, if last week's practices are any indication. Coach Ward Haylett ordered his backfield men to throw forwards more often in the final Wildcat scrimmages last week. Dean Hoppas, sophomore from Menlo, Kans., and John Goforth, lettermen end from Choteau, Okla., were the chief pitcher and receiver respectively.
