UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 1942
Only record to be set at yesterday's Kansas Relays was the record of breaking no records. It has been customary for one or two marks to be bettered each year, but it seems the runners and teams this time were satisfied with beating the fellow next to them rather than shooting for new highs . . . As it was Prairie Views Teachers barely missed the bull's eye in the college mile relay. Had Louis Smith run his first 220 just half as fast as he did the last of his quarter, he surely would have hung up a new record in anchoring the Texas boys in that event.
Billy Rothwell, Mizzou sophomore pole vault expert, who has hit 13 feet 6 this year has taken leave of his pet event. He plans to go into the army air corps soon, couldn't see the use of hanging around the vaulting pit . . . Yesterday's vaulting appearance was the first in six weeks for Howard Debus of Nebraska. He has been indulging in spring football practice till this week. He tied Rothwell at 13 feet 3 for second in the Big Six indoor meet in February. Debus is a sophomore, an excellent football player and track man, and holds the state high school decathalon title in Nebraska.
Kane Wasn't Always Good
In the Indiana state high school track meet held in Indianapolis in 1937, the right eminent Mr. Campbell Kane who now wears the national intercollegiate halfmile crown, could do no better than fifth in the quarter mile. He has come a long way since then; now he outruns everything of college vintage that doesn't have a motor hooked to it . . . Taking long, smooth strides, Kane was content yesterday merely to get out in front and see how little he could exert himself and still win. Too bad he didn't have Oklahoma's Bill Lyda, who can run as long as an eight day clock and as fast as a scared Jap, to urge him on. He might have registered a look of surprise gazing at the Sooner runner's back as they crossed the finish line.
Dr. Glenn Cunningham, miler supreme of a few years ago who was serving as referee for the Relays yesterday, doesn't look nearly so natural in a stylishly cut gray suit and a white starter's cap as he does in the crimson and blue track jersey and spiked shoes which he has worn to world recognition . . .
Glenn said in helping time Friday's high school races, "I don't start the watch when I see the smoke of the starter's gun; I snap it when I see him tighten his finger on the trigger . . . Cunningham was very modest about the sophomore quartet he entered in the college distance medley relay yesterday. He admitted they were "fair," said Dave Clutterham, nucleus of the team, had been clocked in the neighborhood of 4:28 for the indoor mile, should hit in the vicinity of 4:15 outdoors. Oh yes, they won the distance medley . . . While Glen doesn't run for time any more, he still keeps in condition. Once in a while some of the fellows on his Cornell College team challenge him to a race;
Hutch Wins Track Crown
Hutchinson's Salt Hawks won their second consecutive Kansas Relays interscolastic Class A Friday, but it took Atchison's mile relay team to break the only record smashed all afternoon.
Monte Waldecker brought victory to Hutchinson over Wichita East, who finished second last year. Waldecker had collected firsts in the 100 and 440 dashes when he went into the next to last event, the 220 with Hutchinson and Wichita tied 27-all.
Waldecker stepped off the furlough in 22.4 to assure Hutchinson the title. Final standings in class A were Hutchinson, 38; Wichita East, 37; Topeka, 14 for third; and Atchison fourth with 12.
Bill Grimes, lanky Ashland speedster dominated scoring in class B competition with victories in the century, the 220 and the quarter mile. Despite Grimes' sweeping the dashes, an evenly balanced team from Mount Hope ran off with top honors with $28\frac{1}{2}$ points. Enterprise was second with 26, Ashland third with 17, and Baldwin fourth with 16.
In the last event of the afternoon, Atchison's quartet of Wilson, Richey, Ewing, and Bratton sizzled home some hundred yards ahead of the nearest competition to better the mile relay record in class A. Atchison's time was 3 minutes 31.2 seconds—4 second better than the record set by the Kansas Vocational School in 1933.
Jack Grim, Wellington's 265 pound all-state football center, gathered in ten points with firsts in the shot put and discus. Warren Feindt, Wichita East javelin thrower, shot the shaft 188 feet 86 inches for near record performance.

led the javelin throw with a toss of 196 feet $ 9 \frac{1}{2} $ inches. Milo Farneti of Kansas took third in this event; his distance was 185 feet 7 inches. Nebraska's weight star Edsel Wibbels placed in three events, taking second in the javelin, third in the discus and fourth in the shot.
Oklahoma Wins Two
Oklahoma's big three—Orv Matthews, Bill Lyda, and Dick Smethers—helped gather in firsts for the Sooners on the university distance and sprint medley relays.
Cunningham's Proteges Victorious
Cornell College of Mount Vernon, Iowa, under Glenn Cunningham's tutelage, brought home first in the college distance medley reley.
Dave Clutterham, Cornell's sophomore distance sensation, overtook a 50-yard lead held by Oklahoma Baptist going into the anchor position, scampered away at the tape 15 yards ahead to give Cornell College the title.
Mathews, Big Six dash champion,
won the century in 9.8 seconds.
In the distance medley, Lyda, Big Six
quarter and half mile king, took
the baton with a 10 yard deficit
which he turned into a 20 yard
lead in his three laps. Smethers,
Big Six two mile winner, stretched
this advantage to 60 yards in running
the anchor mile.
Indiana's Hoosier's dominated the two mile and the four mile university relays on the ability of Campbell Kane, national intercollegiate half mile champion who runs with watch-like precision.

Phog Calls For Spring Basketball
The building program for next year's Jayhawk basketball team will begin tomorrow night at which time Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Kansas basketball coach, has called the first of nine sessions of spring basket- ball practice.
Priorities in attention will be given to the freshman and varsity reserve basketball players at this practice which will be held in Robinson gym; it will begin at 7 p.m., last an hour and a half.
"Anyone who is willing to train and attend practice will have a chance to make next year's varsity" coach Allen stessed. "We can wi our games on fundamentals, and that's what we'll spend our time polishing," he added.
While Dr. Allen believes that spring basketball practice stressing fundamentals is important to a championship team, he emphasized that he didn't want players reporting for practice if their grades were down. "The men are up here primarily to get an education, not to play basketball," he put it.
Neither does Allen want men to report who are now engaged in some other varsity sport such as baseball or football. He intends to drill in fundamentals the yearlings who will be varisity material next year, and this year's reserves who will be filling first team berths in the future.
"Basketball fans like to see a fighting, aggressive team, and that what I intend to have," 'Phog' stated, "I intend to go ahead with drill on the assumption none of my men will be taken in the draft; of course, some of them probably will, but I think that we will be as well off as any of the other teams."
Faculty Leave for Meeting
Professor and Mrs. R. Q. Brewster, I. Glenn Stevenson, assistant custodian of the chemistry department, and Ronald Pankratz, assistant instructor in chemistry, will leave this morning for Memphis, Tenn., where they will attend the spring meeting of the American Chemical society.
