UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1942
Classic of the Penn Relays this weekend was rivalry between Indiana's Campbell Kane, who carried the Hoosier's to victory in both the 2-mile and 4-mile university relay events at Kansas last week, and Leslie MacMitchell, New York University's meteorite mill. . . . Kane and the Violet's star distance runner crossed paths twice Friday with the Hoosier winning both decisions. MacMitchell, who has shown a clean pair of heels to some of the nation's best veteran milers held the edge on victories against Kane 3 out of the five the two top collegiate distance men had met.
Oklahoma's Bill Lyda brought glory to the Sooner medley relay team at the Drake event Friday with a blistering 1:49.7 half to lead Texas' Mac Unstatted and Davey Mathews of Michigan to the tape by 10 yards. Lyda is versatile enough to run the 60-yard dash or the two mile race with equal ability. Recently he placed second to the Sooner speed merchant, Orv Mathtews, in a 60-yd. event at the Oklahoma-Nebraska indoor dual meet. Last year in the Oklahoma-Oklahoma A. and M. meet, durable Bill clipped off the quarter in 47.6 . . . He was clocked in 1.51.8 at 800 meters in the senior division of the National AAU meet last July . . . He has never galloped the mile in competition, but as a sophomore he was clocked at 4:27 in practice. Running on the Big Six autumnal two mile event at Columbia last fall, Lyda placed second to Nebraska's Bobby Ginn who ran the fastest collegiate mile in the country last year; Lyda's time for the two mile was approximately 9:45.
Bill Lyda, Oklahoma middle distance runner deluxe, carried the Sooner sprint medley relay team to a new American and Drake Relays record Friday on his sizzling 1:49.7 anchor half. His teammates were Orv Mathews, John Sharpe, and Bob Hodges. Their time was 3:23 flat.

Opening their conference conquest against the defending Big Six baseball champions, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawk nine tangle with Missouri's victory-minded Bengals in a two-game series here tomorrow and Tuesday afternoon at 3:30.
With five games experience under their belt, the Tiger batsmen will have three wins as against two setbacks to their credit when they face Kansas. ___
Coach John "Hi" Simmons' Bengal nine have defeated Central College 6-0, have smothered Washington University of St. Louis 10-0, have shaded Kansas State 1-0, and have dropped contests to Jefferson Barracks, 8-6, and Kansas State, 3-0 so far this season.
Mizzou Pitching Strong
Missouri depends on a letterman outfield and a strong pitching and catching staff to keep it in the Big Six running. Only Mizzou hindrance is a green, out-of-position infield.
Bill "Bobo" Spencer, Tiger pitching ace, is the cogwheel in the Missouri baseball machine. A senior letterman who hurls right handed, Spencer won ten games and lost none last year in bringing the Bengals the conference crown. In his three year hurling career at Missouri, big "Bobo" has dropped but two decisions.
Frank Graham, another senior letterman, will probably take over mound duties for Mizzou on Tuesday. Sophomore Stewart Finalson will be held for relief pitching chores by coach Simmons.
