"There are a great bunch of fellows out for this intramural meet and we'll have a good varsity trac squad if they will stay out." Thu track coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss sounded a note of encouragement for a brighter outlook on the cinder path for the Jayhawks during the outdoor season. . . . Despite bad weather, a slow track, and lack of conditioning on the part of the performers, this year's intramural meet should show lots of potential track material for the Kansas track team which has been punctured by the draft and enlistments. . . . Hargiss hopes to be able to run some of the best intramural track talent in the Kansas Relays next week end. He also plans to take a squad to the Drake Relays a week later. A good showing in the I-M meet this afternoon may be just the ticket to Des Moines two weeks hence.
... With more than two hundred men, representing 12 teams, times and distances in the thirteen track and field events should be in for a rough afternoon.
Men who should shine in the I-M meet today: Charlie Black, Kansas' Big Six basketball center should show well in the field events; he shoves the 16-pound shot, well past 40 feet; he flirts with the 135-foot mark in the discus, and has vaulted 12 feet 6 inches. . . . Football players make the bulk of the shot contestants. In this event are Ed Linquist, and Don Ettinger, Jayhawker fullbacks, and Don Johnson and Junius Penny, frosh linemen. . . The dashes show an opulence of material with Kenny Winters, who won the century last year in 10.3 and Bill Hodge, who took second, both returning. Other above-par dash men are Gene Roberts, frosh footballer, Bob Johnson, varsity basketballer, Warren Newcomer, Gene Lea, and Jim Dominick. . . . In the middle distances Roger Whitworth probably has the best time with a 1:56 half; other men who should show in the quarter or in anchoring medley relay teams are Jack Moore, Glenn Kappleman, both tracksters, Bud Herriman, and John Short. . . Frank Stannard, frosh who last year placed second in high hurdles at the state meet, and Milo Farneti, who tosses the javelin better than 170 feet, appear to be the class of their events: . . . Bill Murfir, along with Hodge and Winters, both of whom placed in broad jump last year, will probably be the main contenders for that field. . . Pole vault competition should be close. Stan Hansen, Bill Chivvis, track yearlings, John Wells, and Vance Hall, all should hit 11 feet or better. . . Last year's meet was won by Phi Psi with Kappa Sig second, Phi Delt third, and Sigma Chi fourth. Twelve teams were entered in competition.
Speaking of track, although Oklahoma's Sooners sent only five thinclads to the Colorado Relays last week, they completely overshadowed anything the other 16 schools entered. Oklahoma gathered five firsts and three seconds for 34 points. Bill Lyda adhered to the Iron man tactics he has been displaying all season by breezing through a 50-second quarter and a 2:06 half to take those events. Orv Mathews tied his own record to win the 50-yard dash in 5.5
RunMeetToday,RainorShine I-M Thinclads Perform On Stadium Indoor Track Weather Cancels
Rain or no rain, the intramural track meet will be held at 4:30 this afternoon on the indoor track under the east stadium, track coach H. W. "Bill" Hargiss and intramural head Henry Shenk decided this morning.
Shenk decided this morning. Finals will be run in the high jump, shot put, and broad jump. Preliminaries will be held in the 220 and 440-yd. dashes. Shenk stated that runners in these events would probably run against time, thereby cutting $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
out the necessity of semi-finals. Because the indoor track's straightaway is too short, the distance has been cut to 90 yards in the 100-yd. dash preliminaries. Likewise in the 120-yd. low hurdle, preliminaries will be run on the 90-yd. straightaway.
Intramural officials expressed hope that finals in these runs will be held on the outdoor track for regulation distances. Weather permitting, finals in the 100, 220, and 440- yd. dashes, the 120 low hurdles, 3-legged novelty race, the medley and 440-yd. relays, javelin, discus, and pole vault will be held outdoors tomorrow.
"BILL" HARGISS
Sooner Coach Favors Optional Goal Rule
Dewey "Snorter" Luster, Oklahoma's football coach, likes the optional goal rule giving the team scored upon the option of changing goals or of deciding whether it will kick or receive.
Luster favors the rule, which he used in all three practice games during the recent Oklahoma spring drill, because it equalizes the elements, particularly wind, to some extent.
"The rule wouldn't work following a safety," Luster opines, "because a team only one or two points behind might deliberately take a safety to secure the wind. But it would be successful following a touchdown."
A majority of coaches at the national meeting last December at Detroit favored the rule, Luster says, but the rules committee did not pass it.
seconds. . . Ken Farris hit his best distance yet to win the broad jump with 23 feet 8 3-4 inches. Dick Smethers coasted home first in the mile in 4:42. Reason for the slow time: on the last lap, the timers mistakenly signalled Smethers there were two laps left, so he never got to sprint the finish. . . Next stop for the crack Sooner track choo choo is the Kansas Relays.
Look out Emperor Hirohito-for there is a Chinese boy at Texas A&M, one of the U. S. Navy contingent studying radio, who is tops when it comes down to handling a rifle or pistol.

Chow to Settle
Nippon Hash
Believe it or not, this boy, Radioman 2nd Class Frank Robert Chow, has held the national civilian record for 1940 and 1941 and has medals by the bushel basket. So far in his career as a shooter he has won over 500 medals and trophies.
Whether it be a .45 or .22 calibre he still can pop the head off a penny thrown into the air. In 1940 at the International matches in San Diego, he set a world's record with his .45 and in 1942 he ranks No. 12 in the world on pistol.
He held the National Rifle Association championship in 1937 and came back in 1939 to take it again in both .45 and .22. Chow held a lieutenant's commission in the Los Angeles police force where he taught the policeman how to "get their man," and odd as it may seem, one of his pupils is now his roomie at Texas A&M.
Chow is now 33 and after serving four years, he retired from the navy but "shipped over" in February of this year and now is at Texas A&M to take the intensive radio course.
To conserve tires and gasoline, the 35-year-old milk dealer exchanged his truck for a horse which bolted the first day on the route when frightened by a train.

Tire Saving Effects Disastrous
Simmons sustained near fatal internal injuries and a skull fracture.
Weather Cancels Baseball Openers
By Jack Werts
Kansas' opening baseball games, originally scheduled with Kansas State tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon have been postponed until May 4 and 5, because of the bad weather, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Jayhawk baseball coach, announced today.
With 28 men checked out for baseball this spring coach "Phog" Allen is looking optimistically toward the approaching games. Forrest "Knute" Kresie, who has an impressive record in Ban-Johnson and varsity baseball, will assume the larger part of the pitching duties this season. Kresie excels in both hitting and pitching.
Bill Atwell, Dave Brune, and Al Hecht are going to be held responsible by Allen for some good hurling also. These men have been looking good in practice.
Poor Hitting in Practice
In a practice game with Haskell last Thursday afternoon the hitting was poor. Coach Allen said, "I'm concerned more with the hitting than with the pitching. College teams win more games on hitting than pitching. I'm disappointed that Nick Redeye, Indian catcher from New York, will not be eligible. He thought he was eligible but found that he had only 26 hours credit. Which is not enough." Redeye is a sure left handed hitter.
The fielding in last week's game looked better than last year, in the opinion of Knute Kresie. "The combination of Del Green on second, John Krum on third, Marshall Hulett on short, and Hunter on first looked good," Kresie added.
Warren Hodges was behind the bat and Larry Johnson, Dean Martin, and Bob Innis made up the outfield last Thursday. Substitutions were frequent during the game.
The following is a roster of this year's squad:
Eugene Alford, Lawrence (catcher,
1st base), Bill Atwell, Kansas City,
Mo. (pitcher), Gerald Boynton, Kansas
City, Mo. (outfield), Ray Evans,
Kansas City (catcher, 1st base),
Delmar Green, Atwood, (2nd base),
Danny Brune, Lawrence (pitcher,
outfield), Alvin Hecht, Coldwater
(pitcher, 1st base), Irvin Hayden, At-
(continued to rule five)

Escape From the Glue Works
