KANSAS RELAYS
Among the stellar athletes who will show at the nineteenth annual Kansas Relays Saturday are Ed Thistlethwaite, Northwestern pole vaulter who is favored to win his event; Fred Ramsdell.
crack Texas University spinner who ran a 9.5 second century at the Texas Relays; and J.R. Jones, Jayhawker broad jumper and Missouri Valley A.A.U. champion last year.
Wind Up Grid Drills
Scrimmage yesterday and scrimmage today. That was the schedule for the last two days of spring football practice.
Last night the squad donned game suits, held a rather rough scrimmage, and posed for movies of the new spinner-double wing formation.
Ray Evans, freshman wingback, suffered a chest injury in the workout which will keep him on the bench tonight and Ray Niblo, crack freshman quarter- back, was also hurt. Bob O'Neil, Ralph Schaake, and Paul
Henry is not satisfied with his tackles and considers them the weak spot in next year's plans. With the return of Monte Merkel the guard spots will be bolstered and either Bob Githens, Dale Lowrey, or Walt Sheridan should be capable of handling center.
Bob O'Neil, Ralph Schaake, and Paul Hardman will provide an abundance of end material.
Hub Ulrich, Bob Hagen, Al Hecht,
Two backfields are being used regularly and will oppose each other in practice tonight. One quartet is Marv Vandaveer, Ed Linguist, Evans, and Niblo while Ralph Miller, Don Ettinger, Ralph Childs, and Harlan Altman make up the other.
Top Track Outfits In Relays Events
Two of the nation's top track outfits, Indiana University in the university class and North Texas State in the college class, head up the fields which will compete in the baton passing events at the Kansas Relays Saturday.
The University of Texas Longhorns also promise to play a prominent role in the relay races, boasting considerable strength in the sprint events. Indiana stands out at the longer distances, being favored in the two mile, four mile and distance medley relays.
Texans set World Record
If Indiana chooses to throw its strongest men into the sprint medley relay, a sensational duel should result between the Hoosiers and the Longhorns. Texas set a new world record in this event at the Texas Relays, but would rate as the underdogs to an Indiana quartet including Roy Cochran and Campbell Kane.
Indiana runners have held the world record in the four mile relay since 1937 and would like to add other international marks to that one, Saturday. Competitors at the Kansas Relays usually are favored by a fast track and fine weather.
Strong Indiana Quartet
The two mile relay team which Indiana will send out after a new record will be composed of Kane, Cochran, Tolliver and Kendall. Pushed by the crack Drake quartet which set a new Texas Relays two mile mark recently, the Hoosiers should turn in sensational time.
The 440 and 880 yard relays will find two Big Six and two Big Ten schools endeavoring to prevent a Texas U. sweep of the sprint event. Conceded the best chance of giving the Longhorns a battle are Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri and Kansas.
Missouri Is Darkhorse
Minnesota, with George Franck of football fame running the anchor leg, will send a fleet relay team into action. Missouri is the darkhorse of the group, not having run outdoors yet this spring. The Tigers have a potentially great lineup in Walters, Steuber, Blumberg and Seidel.
North Texas State, East Texas Teachers, Abilene Christian, Howard Payne, Southwestern Louisiana Institute, Pittsburg Teachers and Emporia Teachers comprise the greatest college class field in history.
