OVERSEAS MEN TO GET SCORES
Both the Army and the Office of War Information are going to do their best to keep baseball in the good graces of our overseas fighting men. The Army itself will broadcast vocal accounts of all games this season, while OWI will send the scores around the world by wireless telegraphy.
***
POPULAR ANNOUNCERS ON BROADCASTS
In these baseball broadcasts, such announcers as Red Barber, Stan Lomax, and Paul Douglas will give the scores and brief accounts of the games. However, because of trans-oceanic static which might combine with the noise of the crowd at the game to drown out the speaker, no play-by-play descriptions will be broadcast. Besides the two hours needed to play the average game make it impossible to broadcast complete games.
"Sports News From Home" is another program of the OWI in which announcers throughout the country are co-operating to give sectional sports news. Altogether the OWI will broadcast nine sports programs every day. On open dates the baseball columns by various writers will be read on the broadcasts.

FRESHMAN TRACK SENSATION
One of the most outstanding freshman track men in the country is Fortune Gordien, a 6 foot, 215 pound "find" at the University of Minnesota.
A new Big Ten conference ruling will permit him to compete in varsity track meets. In 1940 he excited much comment when he threw the discus 162 feet 6 inches into the wind! That throw into the wind turned out to be the third best in the nation in high school competition that year. Minnesota track coach Jim Kelly says this of his protege, "I give him an even chance to make a better showing than Bob Fitch, Minnesota's greatest weight man." This is noteworthy because Bib Fitch threw the discus about 170 feet while he attended college.

n Drake Relays Coach Shenk Enters One Man in Relays
Coach Henry Shenk left yesterday afternoon for Des Moines, Iowa, where he has entered one trackman, Tom Scofield, in the thirty-fourth annual two-day Drake Relays which began today with more than 400 University and college entries registered for competition.
Shenk took Scofield because he is the only Jayhawker track-
Although he is also a broadjumper, Scoffield has been entered only in his specialty, the high jump. In the intramural track meet two weeks ago, he cleared 6 feet 1 and 3-4 inches while in the dual meet with Baker, Wednesday, he cleared only 5 feet 8 inches. However, in practice jumps he has cleared over 6 feet 3 inches and may do as good tomorrow if the weather is warm up in Des Moines.
On the basis of past performances by some of the headliners, five Drake records may be broken. Threatened marks are those in the high jump, the 120-yard high hurdles, the pole vault, and the 440 and 880-yard relays.

Dick Ganslen, onetime Columbia University vaulter.

Reveal 'Shangri-La' As Aircraft Carrier
Cleveland, (INS) — George Radulovich, 20-year-old Cleveland aviation machinist's mate, third class, yesterday proudly related the story of how Tokyo was bombed and how Jimmy Doolittle led the formation from an aircraft carrier, formerly referred to as "Shangri-la" to withhold its identity.
Raudlovich told how the crew of the carrier cheered when their suspicions were confirmed that they were on their way to Japan for the first raid on the Japanese capital.
The carrier was based 250 miles from Japan when 80 flyers took off in Billy Mitchell bombers. Doo-little, Radulovich said, was the first to leave the carrier, circling around until all planes were picked up in formation.
