Eduwards Hits His Stride
Lanky Dick Edwards, Kansas distance ace, flashed for the first time this year the winning form he displayed throughout last season as he gathered in 15 points for W. H. "Bill Hargiss' thinclads at Iowa State Saturday. . . . Running as smooth as clockwork, Dick started off the afternoon by gliding through a 4:35 mile. He returned to nudge out Iowa State's Jack Gibson and Marlowe Burgy in a 1.593 half mile. . . . Edwards hadn't planned to run the two mile, but coach Hargiss suggested he start the race and run just as long as he felt like it. Out Dick went, and after six laps of fighting for the lead two of the Cyclone runners folded Edwards sprinted the last furlong to lead Duane Dankel to the tape by 16 yards. . . . Edwards won three for Kansas and lots of admiration from the Cyclone onlookers for himself. While his times were not impressive, his feat of capturing the three longest runs serves notice to Bobby Ginn of Nebraska and Al Rues of Kansas State that they will have a tough customer from Kansas when the Big Six outdoor meet gets under way at Lincoln this weekend. . . . In the indoor meet, Edwards was boxed in the preliminaries of the 880 run so that he failed to qualify. He has twice beaten Jimmy Johns of K-State in the half and Johns placed third in the conference finals, so Edwards should land a berth in both the half and the mile in conference finals.
Schaake Hits New High
Ralph Schaake eclipsed by almost two feet any previous throw he had made this year when he shoved the shot 46 feet 2 1-4 inches to place first Saturday. A performance like this next Saturday will put him in the chips at the conference meet at Lincoln... Jim Cordell grabbed first in the pole vault for the Jayhawkers at 12 feet 6 and barely missed negotiating 13 feet. Iowa State's track was in perfect condition; the day was especially ordered for the meet; but Kansas jumpers and vaulters agree that the pits, composed of sod, turned over once lightly, were anything but beauty rest mattresses—and they've got scratches from the cloods to prove it.
Jake to the Army
That astute manager of the Pflugerville Pflashes (intramural team extraordinary) bids adieu to his boys today. John "Jake" Pitch who has guided the athletic fortunes of the Pflashes all year reports for duty at Ft. Leavenworth tomorrow morning at 6:30.
Bob Raugh, University graduate student who is slated to be in the drivers seat of the Washburn football bandwagon next fall, will be sport-scribe Jim Reed's guest on WIBW tonight at 9:30. Bob, who coached Colby high to football supremacy in Western Kansas grid circles before going after his master's degree here at Kansas, will be faaced with the difficult task of throwing an unfamiliar bunch of plays at a new team with hopes of polishing the Ichabods into a winning combination all in the three weeks time before Washburn tangle with Kansas Wesleyan next fall.

Most Firsts To Kansas But Cyclones Take Meet Dick Edwards Stars As Iowa State Wins Over Jays 721-3-572-3
Nine first places were not enough and Kansas' track men fell before Iowa State 72 1-3 to 57 2-3 at Ames last Saturday afternoon.
While the Cyclones swept the high hurdles and quarter mile and won the mile relay by forfeit, Dick Edwards, veteran Kansas runner, did a little sweeping of his own to win the half, the mile, and the two mile runs.
Pollom Takes Dashes
Don Pollom added to Edwards' brilliant performance by winning first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Pollom also placed third in the low sticks for the Jayhawks.
Ralph Schaake got off his best throw of the season in the shot put to give Kansas high honors in that event. His winning toss was 46 feet 214 inches. Milo Farneti tossed the javelin 189 feet 1 3-4 inches—far below his average performance—to take first for Kansas in that event. Schaake was third in the javelin. Ettinger Ties in High Jump
Don "Red" Ettinger leaped 6 feet for a three way tie with Paul Darling and Burton Eberlein, both of the Cyclones, in the high jump. Ettinger placed second in broad jump behind Dave Martin of Iowa State. Jim Cordell sailed over 12 feet 5 3-4 inches to win over close competition in the pole vault.
John Heggen, Cyclone football player and track captain, spearheaded Iowa State's attack with firsts in the high and low hurdles. George Gast, Cyclone sophomore star, gathered first in the discus and second in javelin.
Black Places in Four Events
Charlie Black tied for second in the vault, took second in the discus, and third in broad jump and shot for Kansas. Val Schloesser tied for second in the vault and placed third in the century and furlong.
Other outstanding performers for the Cyclones were BW Winders who won the 440 and took second in the 220 dash, and Darling who tied for first in the high jump and placed third in the discus.
Saturday's meet marked the first dual contest between the two Big Six schools and the Cyclone's third straight outdoor track triumph. Iowa State had defeated Drake and Grinnell before meeting Kansas.

Sooners Lead Kansas Gains In Standings
Oklahoma's red hot baseball team, with two wins over the Big Six diamond doormat, Nebraska last week, continues to lead the conference with a burning 1.000 pace.
Mizzou, close behind the Sooners with one loss suffered at the hands of Huck Heath and company of Kansas, State, tangles with Oklahoma in a two-game series this week to decide the Big Six title. Missouri is the defending champion.
After dropping a pair of contests to Kansas State at Manhattan, Kansas bounced back to win two games from the Wildcats on the home diamond, thereby passing Kansas State in the conference standings.

Law Professors May Visit Annual Institute Meeting
Law may attend the twentieth annual meeting of the American Law Institute at Philadelphia, Pa., May 12, 13, 14, and 15.
The meeting will be held at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel. George Wharton Pepper, president of the institute, will preside at the annual dinner Thursday, May 14, in the hotel ballroom.
Rockhurst Nine Here Tomorrow
Weather permitting, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's Kansas baseball nine will square off against the Hawks from Rockhurst here tomorrow afternoon at 3:30.
In an earlier engagement, Rockhurst and Kansas were washed from the diamond in the first of the fifth inning with the score tied 4-all. Spark plug of the Rockhurst squad is the Muckenthaler to Muckenthaler battery with Buzz pitching and Leo catching.
On the mound for Kansas will be Knute Kresie; with Muckenthal, who whiffed nine Kansas batters in four innings before rain called a halt, and Kresie opposing each other, tomorrow's fray looms as a hurling duel.
Hulett Missing
Marshall Hulett, called home by the death of a close friend, will be missing from Kansas' air tight infield. Otherwise the Kansas line-up will read the same with Warren Hodges at catcher, T. P. Hunter, Del Green, John Krum, and probably Pete Teichgraeber or Denzil Gibbens in the infield, and Larry Johnston, Bob Innis, and Dean Martin in the outfield.
With seven complete contests under their belts, Kansas' starting line-up is hitting at an average 200 clip. Individual batting standings for the seven complete games are:
ab r h pct.
Martin 25 5 9 .360
Innis 25 1 8 .320
Hodges 33 6 10 .303

Stamp Drive To Successful End
The final tabulations on the recent war savings stamp and bond drive by the Men's Student Council and the Co-Ed Volunteer Corps were issued today by chairman of the drive, Max Webster, college sophomore. The total receipt for the sales of stamps of the various denominations was $275. The drive also sold $1143.75 worth of defense bonds.
The drive was begun April 27 by the M.S.C. and was brought to a close by this group on the twenty-ninth. The C.V.C. then took up the drive and continued it until May 4.
Although the actual drive itself has ended, the C.V.C. will continue selling defense stamps until May 20 to those students who have signed pledge certificates. Any student who has not pledged himself to buy a certain amount of stamps weekly and who still wishes to do so can obtain a certificate from any member of the C.V.C.
At present the women's volunteer organization is aiding with the sales of defense stamps and bonds to downtown business men and to townspeople. This drive is being carried on by the city of Lawrence.
