Three Teams Leave For Big Six Meets
Members of three University athletic teams will leave tonight for two different destinations where they will compete tomorrow in their respective sports.
Sixteen members of the track team, including 11 V-12 trainees, will go to Lincoln, Neb., for the Big Six outdoor track and field meet. Iowa State has emerged as favorites to cop the title, but Kansas, Oklahoma, and possibly Missouri are expected to furnish plenty of trouble for the Cyclones.
About the only record likely to fall is the high jump mark of 6 feet 3/8 inches. Tom Scofeld, Jay-hawk star, has bettered that several times this year and may be able to set a new record.
Others Expect to Score
Other probable point winners are Robert Lillibridge, in the dashes, and broad jump; Frank Stannard in the hurdles; Jim Richey in the 440 and relays; Harvey Morrow in the pole vault; LeRoy Robison in the javeline; and Bob Isaacson in the dashes.
The Jayhawks chances will depend on their ability to pick up some points in the middle distance runs to go with their consistent showing in the field events.
The baseball and tennis teams will have their initial tests Saturday
Big Six to Discuss Rules and Schedules
Schedules and eligibility rule probably will be given much attention when the Big Six Conference board meets at Lincoln, Neb. tomorrow. Karl Klooz, acting athletic director, and W. W. Davis, faculty representative, left for Lincoln last night to represent the University.

Coach Jack Austin says the baseball team has showed considerable improvement in the past few weeks, but they still are untested in battle. The Cyclones have played several games already and have an experienced crew waiting the Jayhawks. The baseball team will also be busy next week as they play Herington Army Air Base here Tuesday and again play hosts Saturday to the Sedalia, Mo., air base team.
The tennis team under the direction of R. S. Howey will also play the first match this season Saturday. The four men representing Mt. Oread will be Brasch, Shive, Reynolds, and Mattley, all naval trainees. The team has been showing up well in practice and are expected to give the Cyclones a good match.
