UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
TUESDAY,APRIL 29,194
By ORLANDO EPP Guest Conductor
The Drake Relays Friday and Saturday saw many of the same stars in action Kansas fans witnessed at their own relays. But the Drake carnival was blessed with two warm, windless days, whereas the Kansas event was held on a cold windy day. Six records were broken and one tied at Des Moines.
BOTH Norman Sanneman and Bob Stoland, Jayhawk high jumpers, cleared 6 feet 2 inches, and barely missed going over the bar at 6 feet 4. The two tied for third with seven others, but Sanneman emerged winner in the toss for the medal.
LARRY FINNEY, shot putter,
wasn't notified that he was to
accompany the team to Des
Moines, and was at his home in
Topeka when the squad left. He
reported for practice at the stadium that afternoon and when he learned he was entered at Drake,
hopped a train and joined the
team at Des Moines.
"TVE SEEN MANY a balky horse, but this is the first time I've seen a balky athlete," said one coach, after watching the 440-yard hurdle race. Arky Erwin, Louisiana State hurdler, was leading the field by nearly 15 yards until he came to the final barrier. He missed his step, stopped in front of the hurdle. He than ran back a few steps, tried again, but balked at the 36-inch jump. Finally, disgusted, he walked off the track, and never did get over the final hurdle which would have meant a gold wrist watch. Later in the Louisiana State dressing room he pointed to a six-foot coat rack and said, "That last hurdle looked twice as high as that rack to me."
ONLY MEMBER of Texas relay teams who failed to win a Drake Relays wrist watch was Joe Sparks. Sparks ran a 220 on the half-mile relay team, which was clocked in the fastest time in the preliminaries. But "Red" Barefield, another 220 man, suffered a slight pulled muscle, and the Texas coach scratched the team from the finals.
FREDDY RAMSDELL, Texas spinner, said he'd have to win the 100-yard dash to have enough watches to go around. He had one promised to his mother, one to a girl friend, and needed another for himself, but Carlton Terry, a teammate, won with Ramsdell running fourth.
A FIRE IN THE Hotel Fort Des Moines early Friday morning, routed fifth floor occupants from their rooms. Bob Stoland and Norman Sanneman, staying in a room several doors from the fire, packed their clothes, tossed them onto a ledge, and prepared to jump out their window. Sanneman already had one foot outside, when Coach Hargiss saw him from another window and told him to wait in his room for a while. (continued to page five)

Schedule Marquette For 1942 Gridiron Opener Here
It was announced today by the athletic office that the University football team will open the 1942 gridiron season against Marquette university in Memorial stadium, September 26.
The Jayhawkers have a game scheduled with the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, team for October 18, 1941, on the Marquette field. Tom Stidham, former mentor at the University of Oklahoma, recently signed a five year contract with Marquette.
Apparently recovered from the effects of the 23-6 pummeling they absorbed at Iowa State Saturday, the Jayhawk baseball squad engaged in a snappy workout last night on the practice field.
There'll Be Some Changes Made
"Phog" Allen is again experimenting with his lineup to determine his strongest hitting and fielding combination and plans
By GABE PARKS
"Phog" Allen is again experi termine his strongest hitting and to have three pitchers playing regularly when the Jayhawks open their home season with Missouri here Monday.
Whether they are pitching or not, "Phog" hopes to utilize the hitting of Knute Kresie. Johnny Burge, and Bobbie Allen in every game. As the situation now stands Kresie will be stationed at third Allen at first, and Burge in the outfield when they are not taking their turns on the mound.
Pierce Into Lineup
Another change finds Dick Pierce, a clever receiver with a hustling spirit, taking over Ed Hall's duties behind the plate. Ed has mentioned to Dr. Allen that he had once played in the infield, and is now working out at second base in place of "Chief" Wabanasee.
"Phog" will have an entirely new second-base combination if Delmar Green can make the grade at short-stop. Johnny Krum has been benched to give Green a trial, and all "Greenie" has to do is show a little power at the plate to keep the job, for his fielding is top-notch. Krum and Allen Nipper, who can give the ball a long ride when he connects, are still to be reckoned with, though, in the fight for a starting birth.
Allen believes that Pierce will hit several notches higher than the little Indian and figures that the defense will be tightened by the shift.
Experiment At Short
Still another switch has been brought about in the outfield, where Dean Martin has broken into the lineup and is leading off the batting order. Though not a power hitter, Martin has been getting his share of singles and as a flychaser, he ranks with the best on the squad.
Dodgers Down Giants
In last night's workout, the "Dodgers" bowled over the "Giants," 4-1, in a four innings affair. Burge started
on the hill for the Giants and breezed along until the third when his defense fell apart and the Dodgers pushed across three runs on two errors and two hits.
The Giants came back to score a run in their half of the fourth on hits by Kresie and Hall off Allen who started for the Dodgers. The Dodgers added another tally in the fourth as "Gunga" Dean, Allen, and Wabaunsee collected singles off Lefty Atwell.
"Red" Thompson led the batters with two for three.
