Several more boxes of interesting insects have been sent to the University department of entomology by Capt. D. Elmo Hardy, '41. A letter from the Division of Insect Identification in Washington shows that the specimens are of great interest to noted entomologists and that they will do much toward broadening the knowledge of fauna in India. Because Captain Hardy has had difficulty in finding containers for the insects, vials, tubes, and pins have been sent to him to that he may further his collection and send them to the United States. Captain Hardy has contributed over 200,000 insect specimens to the University's collection at Snow hall. He is now serving as a wing malariaologist with the Sanitary Corps in India. Captain Hardy received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University in June, 1941. Sportorials By Charles Moffett Track at the University of Kansas is experiencing one of its best seasons in years. The Jayhawkers ran away from their opponents in the triangular meet held here last Saturday. Kansas State and Nebraska, to be sure, have little material from which to choose competitors, and what is available isn't too potent. But the times and distances being made this season in any of the Big Six schools generally are not too good, as is this case all over the country. It is proved by the Drake Relays, which annually is one of the largest meets in the mid-west, but this season had very few records threatened. So far this season the Jayhawks under Ray Kanehl have won third in Big Six indoor meet, won a couple of triangular meets, and generally have been a threat in any event they have participated in. The caliber of surrounding track teams may not be as high as prewar, but the Jayhawks have been hurt as much as the others with the possible exception of Kansas State and Nebraska. Scofield and Stannard were the only letter winners back, and these two have kept up their steady form to lead the inexperienced Jayhawks. Coach Kanehl, in his first year as a college mentor, has done a fine job. Kanehl was formerly track coach and athletic director at Wichita East where his track teams were always one of the strongest in any meet. They won the state Class A title last year. Kanehl knows his track, and given plenty of good Kansas high school athletes when the war is over he could make Kansas a track power in the mid-west. As it is Mt. Oread is already proud of its thin-clads and has the utmost confidence that they will make things exceedingly hot for Oklahoma and Iowa State at the Big Six track and field meet, May 20 in Lincoln. A rather unusual as well as unfortunate accident occurred in the track meet Saturday. Stannard was leading in the high hurdles when he tripped on the next to the last barrier and took a hard spill landing flat on the track. At the same time Patterson, Kansas, got a foot on the third from the last hurdle and also took a hard fall.
