Red Ettinger Stars In Final Scrimmage
Yesterday's scrimmage between the Reds and Whites on the practice field east of the stadium climaxed six weeks of spring football drills for the Kansas grid warriors.
Using the double-wing spinner formations, the offensive Red backfield consistently made large gains and scored eight touchdowns during the afternoon. Don "Red" Ettinger, freshman fullback, was virtually unstoppable on line plunges and crossed the goal line twice. Other players accounting for scores were Ralph Childs, Harlan Altman, Denzil Gibbens, Ed Linquist, Ray Evans, and Dick Miller.
Ralph Miller unlimbered his throwing arm and his snap passes found receivers arms time after time. Paul Hardman was the outstanding passcatcher. Dave Doleshal at defensive end, who broke up several plays, and Gene Long, offensive guard were standouts among the linemen.

Individual Stars Headline Relays
The nation's two top discus throwers will match strong arm efforts at the Kansas Relays tomorrow, as a crack field competes in the big track carnival.
Archie Harris of Indiana, national collegiate champion in the discus throw, and Jack Hughes of Texas, runnerup at the N.C.
A. A. meet last spring, will tangle in what should be a terrific battle.
Harris boasted the best mark of the two, 166 feet $ \frac{5}{4} $ inches, up until last Saturday, but that day Hughes slammed the discus out 167 feet $ \frac{2}{1} $ inches and now eagerly awaits a shot at the Indianan. Archie Puts Puts
Harris also is a standout in the shot put, with a heave of 51 feet $ \frac{5}{2} $ inches to his credit. George Paskvan of Wisconsin, Big Ten indoor shot put champion, and Loren Creese of Colorado, Rocky Mountain conference champion, should provide him stiff comebition.
The pole vault is expected to be a three-way duel between Bill Williams of Wisconsin, Jack DeField of Minnesota and Dick Higgins of Missouri. Higgins, who tied for first here last year, has a tough assignment in attempting to defend his championship.
Tight Vault Race
Williams is the Big Ten indoor and outdoor pole vault champion and has vaulted 13 feet $ 10\frac{1}{2} $ inches. DeField, a sophomore, was the National Junior A.A.U. pole vault champion in 1939.
Pete Owens, Howard Payne College, twice winner of the 120 yard high hurdles at the Texas Relays, is the favorite in that event here. Walt Revell of Pittsburg Teachers, runnerup at the 1940 Kansas Relays, and Captain Joe Finch of Northwestern are other hardling stars.
A photo finish is looked for in the 100 yard dash. Myron Piker of Northwestern, the defending champion, is up against such fleet sprinters as Carlton Terry and Fred Ramsdell of Texas, Welby Williams and Olvis Hicks of North Texas State and Don Walters of Missouri.
The host school, the University of Kansas, is providing the standouts in the high jump this year. Norman Sanneman having jumped 6 feet 6 inches and Bob Stoland 5 feet. Jim Smith of Northwestern and Walter Arrington of Michigan State are their main competitors. Stoland also will be bidding for a championship in the broad jump.
After the broad jump, Vern Miller of Colorado was leading in the decathlon with 1413 points, followed by Leo Cross, Kansas State, and Marvin Hodges. Baker.
