UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1942
FROM THE SIDELINES by Alan B. Houghton
Little Jackie Bellman who an chored the Pittsburg Teacher two mile relay team to victory last Saturday enrolled as a freshman two years ago at Kansas. He ran his frosh year under Bill Hargiss then transferred to Pittsburg where he could live with relatives . . . He won the Kansas state high school mile crown in 1938 and 39 running for Argentine. Only race he ran wearing the Crimson and Blue was in Kansas City after the close of the school year. He placed third in the AAU 1500 meter run behind Glenn Cunningham and Archie San Romani.
"Red" Returns to Cinder Path
Overcoming a siege of pneumonia, Nebraska's mighty mite, Eugene "Red" Littler laced on his spiked shoes last week, coasted through a 23 second furlong just to show Husker coach Ed Weir he'd be winning more quarter mile races before the year was out . . . He had to pass the Kansas Relays last week; he doesn't intend to compete in the Drake Relays this week, but he'll be running with the Nebraskans at a triangular meet at West Point May 2. Littler is pointing for the national intercollegiate track and field carnival to be held in Lincoln this June at which time he will get another crack at national 440 yard champion Grover Klemmer of California who also has been having his share of trouble this season.
More for Navy Relief
Oklahoma and Oklahoma A and M have been billed for a baseball game in Stillwater for May 14, the proceeds going to the navy relief fund. This will be the second time the two Sooner schools have met for the benefit of the navy. The Aggies drubbed the Sooners soundly in basketball this March after the close of the regular season. The Ags and the Sooners are billed for four games on the diamond this season; should the two teams be evenly matched, two more contests may be added.
He's Good at Baseball Too
Bud Schwenk, star passer of the Washington U. of. St. Louis football team last fall who set a new national record for passes completed, may now be found on the baseball diamond. He was appointed to the Bears' coaching staff last February and is now coaching Washington's baseball efforts.
Haskell Batsmen Play Kansas
Practice Begins For 9 Sessions Of Basketball
The first of nine spring basketball practices got under way last night in Robinson gymnasium with coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen drilling the men who will make the nucleus of next years court team in fundamentals.
Men reporting for practice last night are Otto Schnellbacher, "Sparky" McSpadden, Armand Dixon, Stan Hansen, Bill Forsyth, Bob Dole, Bud Smith, Larry Stream, Max Kissell, Jack Beck, Paul Turner, Jim Roderick, and Paul Carpenter.
Javhawker to Print Poetry
Those present decided to hold practices each Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night from 7 till 8:30 for the next three weeks. Allen will stress the fundamentals of dribbling and passing at these sessions.
A poetry page will be featured for the first time in the next issue of the Jayhawker, Jim Surface, editor of the magazine, has disclosed. All students interested in having their poetry published should turn it in at the Jayhawker office in the subbasement of the Memorial Union building before May 1. The best of the poetry will be selected and used for publication.
Some colleges are considering dropping football for the duration but St. Mary's may go one step better. It may drop classes altogether, turn the whole school over to the navy to train cadet fliers.
Seems NYU is picking a very unpropitious time to abandon football. All except one of last year's extraordinary fresh football team will return next season free of the draft, but Chick Meehan and his boys will have to wait till better days to take to the gridiron again.

With victories in eight of the 10 special events that have survived through the years, Illinois' 18 victories in the individual events heads that division of the annual Drake Relays, being held April 24 and 25 this year.
Failing to win in only the 440-yd. hurdles and the two-mile run, Illinois outstripped second-place Nebraska by four victories, 18 to 14. Kansas has posted 12 victories, Wisconsin has nine and Oklahoma and Iowa have eight apiece.
Jayhawks Have Won Drake Relays Crowns
Of the six leading teams, three Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa—are from the Big Ten conference, and three-Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska-are members of the Big Six conference.
Since the first Drake Relays were devoted mainly to relay races, no permanent individual event hit the record books until the 120-yd. high hurdles were established in 1917. From then on, individual races and team events followed in rapid order.
The 100-yd. dash was placed on the program in 1918, followed by the pole vault, broad jump, high jump. 440-yd. hurdles, shot put, discus throw and javelin run in 1922.
The first Illinois triumph went to Harold Osborne, who leaped 6 ft. 6 in., to win the high jump in 1922. That record, the oldest on the Drake books, still stands.
Latest of the Illini to win an individual crown was Ken Diefenhalter, likewise a high jumper, who claimed titles in 1938 and 1939 with respective jumps of 6 ft. 3 3-8 in. and 6 ft. 5 8-8 in.
Big guns in Nebraska's 14 victories were Sprinter Roland Locke and Weightman Sam Francis. Locke bulleted to successive victories in the 100-yd. dash in 1925 and '26, setting the .09.5 record in his latter effort. That has never been broken,

Kansas' baseball team will take another crack at the victory column Thursday afternoon at 3:30 when coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers tangle with Haskell's nine on the local diamond.
In their opener last week, the Jayhawks dropped a 3-1 decision to Ft. Leavenworth's soldier club. While Haskell has met Kansas earlier this season in a practice session, this will be the
Kansas earlier this season opening game for coach Ott Harrison's Indian batsmen.
Fielding Looks Good
A muddy field limited the Jayhawks' baseball practice to batting last night. Coach Allen, who was on the mound tossing to the batters, said today he is well pleased with the Jayhawker's fielding but hoped the batting power could be improved.
Kansas line-up will be the same as it was in the 'Hawk's first game. Forrest "Knute" Kresie will assume mound duties for the Jayhawks with Bill Atwell, southpaw hurler being held to relieve Kresie.
Hunter Has Bad Ankle

T. P. Hunter is still bothered by a sprained ankle and will likely be replaced by Al Hecht before the game is over. Other men who will probably play for Kansas are Otto Teichgraeber, Gene Alford, Irven Hayden, Ted Hill, and Dan Brune.
Malott Speaks At C. W. Malott went today to Lincoln, Neb., where he delivered the address at the annual honors convocation at the University of Nebraska. The Chancellor's subject was "Careers in Crisis."
