UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, APRIL 2,1945
Prep Track Meet Here April 21
Replies to invitations to the forty-first annual interscholastic track and field meet to be held Saturday, April 21, are expected sometime next week, Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the athletic association, announced this morning. Most of the high schools throughout the state prefer to test their teams before submitting a list of entrants. The Sterling Relays next Saturday will provide a test for some of the schools, Mr. Falkenstein commented, and will enable the schools to select their contestants before the deadline on April 15.
Last year in a heavy downpour, Wichita East won the class A title, while Clearwater headed the field of class B schools. Wichita North, Ottawa, and Topeka were other class A schools to finish near the top. Sterling, Haven, and Olathe School for the Deaf were the other top-ranking class B squads. Lawrence high school scored 21 points in the class A meet, while University high netter $6\frac{1}{2}$ counters.
It is too early in the season to state whether any records will be broken this year, although most of last year's stars have graduated. The heavy rain last spring kept the times slow and the distances short, preventing the contestants from shattering any records.

Bloch, Eastwood,and Mattern Combine Paintings in Exhibition
Here and There . . . Gunder Haegg, the fleet Swede, didn't get to run his farewell race after all Saturday night. Haegg was bumped from a plane on route from California to Buffalo and couldn't get connections to the New York track meet in time to perform . . . Babe Ruth, former king of the national pastime, has turned wrestling referee and is being flooded with offers from promoters from all over the nation. Ruth referred his first match back in 1920, just after he had been signed by the Yankees.
Professor Eastwood, who recently returned to the University after serving two and a half years in the photo-recommendsation and interpretation division of the Army Air forces, is showing 13 oil paintings. Among these are certain of his popular sand dune pictures, painted at Cape Cod, Mass., and one canvas entitled "Overdue," painted since his discharge from the army. His pictures have just been returned from exhibitions in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, an the Art association in Wichita.
Paintings by Albert Bloch, Raymond Eastwood, and Karl Mattern, professors of the department of drawing and painting at the University, are now on exhibit in the north and south galleries of Thayer museum.

Lt. Bert Shepard, amazing war veteran who has come back to play professional ball again after being crippled in a plane crash over Germany, has earned the admiration of every sport fan throughout the nation. Shepard has been giving demonstration workouts with both the Senators and the Yankees, and has shown up remarkably well. He fields bunts, pitches in batting practice and takes his cut at the plate with unusual skill and grace. Shepard has had no major league experience, although he played minor league ball with a White Sox farm. He lost his right leg just below the knee in the crash, and now wears an artificial limb. He was recently signed by the Senators, for whom he will coach, pitch, or pinch hit.

YANKS---leak-proof trap.
The hottest baseball feud of the current 1945 pre-season sessions, that between Leo 'the Lip' Durocher and his president, Branch Rickey, flashed into the open again last weekend after word that the Dodger manager was taking 'company' time to make radio broadcasts. The outspoken Brooklyn ball club president won out this time, however, Durocher stated later that he would give up his airways ambitions. Rickey commented that incidental stuff was all right, but baseball must still be the fiery manager's paramount interests.
