Former K. U. Coach Brutus Hamilton Bosses Nation's Top Track Team
By H. M. MASON
Top track team of the nation, the University of California's Golden Bears, takes its orders from a former K.U. track coach, Brutus Hamilton.
California slaughtered Stanford in the annual "Big Meet" last Saturday, $ 97 \frac{3}{4} $ points to $ 33 \frac{1}{4} $ ,copting first place in every event on the program. The previous week the Golden Bears had downed Nebraska by a one-sided margin.
Only blot on the California record is a defeat at the hands of the University of Southern California, but the concensus of opinion is that the improvement shown by the Bears in recent weeks would reverse that decision in a return meeting.
The scholarly Hamilton coached at K.U. from 1930 through 1952.
Direct cause of Kansas losing this brilliant
Those three seasons saw the Jayhawks win the Big Six outdoor track meet twice and take third the other time.
Hamilton this brilliant mentor was the fact that he coached all three of the men who made the Olympic team in the decathlon and competed at Los Angeles in 1932.
Coached Decathlon Trio
Their showing was sensational. Jim Bausch of Kansas winning the decathlon, "Buster" Charles of Haskell taking fourth and Clyde Coffman of K.U. finishing seventh.
Hamilton also had a fourth man in the Olympic games that year, a sophomore named Glenn Cunningham, who was the first American to cross the finish line in the 1500 meter run, taking fourth.
That fall Hamilton left K.U. to take over the reins at Cal. He has had many crack teams since then, but the present aggregation easily is the finest.
Klemmer His Pride
Top man of the 1941 crew is Grover Klemmer, lanky sophomore who is expected to be the greatest quarter-miler of all time. A a freshman he ran the 440 in 46.8 at Princeton and already this season has done 47 flat. Klemmer also has a time of 21.2 for the 220.
National collegiate javelin champion Martin Biles has been over 220 feet in both of the Bears' last two meets. Against Nebraska he threw 225 feet 10 inches and against Stanford 222 feet 9 inches.
Hamilton's vaulting ace, Guinn Smith is having another great season. As a sophomore last year Smith vaulted 14 feet $4 \frac{1}{2}$ inches and this spring he has cleared 14 feet $3 \frac{1}{4}$ inches. Last week he added to his laurels by winning the high jump
against Stanford with a leap of 6 feet 5 inches.
Greatest miler in California history is Dick Peter, a senior. Peter has been clocked in 4:11.6 and 4:11.5 in his last two starts.
Shifted from the quarter-mile to the half this year, Clarence Barnes has consistently been under 1.53. His best time is 1:51.9. Last spring Barnes was runnerup in the 440 at the I.C.-4A meet.
Better take a good look at those Missouri Tigers when they come to town for a two-game series with the Jayhawks Monday and Tuesday. . . The Bengals are favorites to cop the Big Six baseball crown and are riding a winning streak. . . Iowa State and Oklahoma are the choices of most observers to press the Tigers, with Kansas State the dark horse entrant.
Kansas, with a record of one win and two losses, is not regarded as a pennant possibility, but the Jayhawks have the hustle and spirit to make it tough for the leaders . . . Nebraska, which has yet to win a Big Six game, seems headed for the cellar.
--of Fu the to Ma for
Short shots: Kansas State has scheduled a basketball game with Oregon State, at Baker, Ore., for next year . . . Watch out for Oklahoma's raceteers this year . . .
The Sooner netmen own 6-0 triumphs over Nebraska and Augustana to date this year.
Bert Gissler, freshmen end at Nebraska, is 6 feet $ 7 \frac{1}{2} $ inches tall and is rated an excellent pass receiver . From the Iowa State Collegian: "Unconventional dress was the rule when "Phog" Allen, Kansas baseball coach, played a round of golf with Beryl Taylor and Louis Menze last Saturday . His limited traveling wardrobe forced him to play in shorts."
Meet Wildcats In 28th Dual Track Meet
BY C. A. GILMORE
Tomorrow the Jayhawk track team will leave for Manhattan to engage the Kansas State tracksters in the twenty-eighth dual meet between the two conference rivals.
This long and bitterly fought rivalry started back in 1906 when a University team defeated K-State by a wide margin. The next meet was in 1909 and from 1913 up to the present time the two schools have had an annual clash with the exception of four years from 1925 to '29.
During this time the Jayhawkers defeated their state rivals except in 1919 and 1920. In recent years the two teams have see-sawed back and forth with victories.
The squads will have some difficult records to shoot at tomorrow. However, there is one that is in danger of being broken. Norman Sanneman and Bob Stoland, the Jayhawk ace high jumpers, may surpass the meet record in that event if not handicapped by a muddy take-off.
Threaten High Jump Mark
The present record is 6 feet 3 5-8 inches, set by Ehrlich of K-State in 1930. Both of the University jumpers have cleared 6 feet 4 inches in competition this spring.
Coach Bill Hargiss announced today that the following men will leave in the morning for Manhattan: Darrell Mathes, Ted Scott, George Scott, Denzil Gibbens, Don Pollom, Fred Eberhardt, Ken Hamilton, Dick Edwards, Don Thompson.
Oliver Hess, Russell Mount, Al Poznik, Alan Houghton, Bill Beven, John Michener, Jim Cordell, J. R Jones, Bob Stoland, Norman Sanneman, Ralph Schaake, Larry Finney, Ed Linquist, and W. F. Jack.
All softball games for today and tomorrow have been postponed because of wet grounds. E. R. Elbel, director of intramural athletics, said at noon today.
Softball Results
All intramural managers will receive tomorrow a copy of the revised intramural softball schedule. This schedule completely invalidates the old schedule, E. R. Elbel, director of intramural athletics, said today.
Games which have been postponed will not be played if they are not included in the new schedule. The bad weather necessitated shortening the schedule, Elbel said.
Sigma Chi 13, Kappa Sig 4
Bob Farmer led the winners with two of their nine blows at the plate. Rex Shaw and Shoaf were the battery for the losers with Claassen and Laurence Nelson performing for the winners.
Sigma Chi defeated the Kappa Sig's yesterday 13-4 in six innings. Lander Claassen, Sigma Chi huurle, allowed the losers seven hits, three of them to Roy Shoaf, Kappa Sig backstop.
Sigma Chi ... 210 118—13
Kappa Sig ... 200 200—4
Footballers
In The Movies
Members of the football squad saw themselves as others see them with the help of moving pictures in the Memorial Union building last night.
The pictures, taken by the extension division during the last two nights of spring practice, showed the squad running through various formations.
Coaches Gwinn Henry, Vic Hurt,
Wayne Replogle, and Harry Lansing were in charge of the meeting and explained the plays in detail, pointing out flaws and weak spots.

Pflugerville Pflashes 12, Newman I
Fingervine Flashes 12. Newman 1
The Pflashes triumphed yesterday in the headline battle over the Newman I team, 12-7. The Pflashes now have four wins against no losses. They look like a sure bet for the Division IV crown to intramural observers.
John Buescher, varsity basketballer, held the Newman's to nine hits and blanked them in every inning but the fifth when the losers pushed seven runs across. John Pfitsch led the winners on the offense with three hits and Phil Banta and Harry Luebbe sparked the losers with two blows each.
Batters: Pflashes: Buescher and Fish. Newman I: Harwood, Milford and Burger.

Beta II 15, P.A.D. 14
The Beta II softball team proved to be better mudders than the P.A.D. team and came out on the long end of a 15-14 score in eight innings. The diamond was almost a lake of mud with falls frequent and embarrassing to the victims.
Don Welty and Joe Morton held the mound for the winners with Aubrey Earhart flinging for the losers.
Theta Tau won by forfeit from the Dunakin club yesterday.
