KANSAS RELAYS
JACK DEFIELD-MINNESOTA
JOHN MUNSKI - MISSOURI
Track and field champions in action at the nineteenth annual Kansas Relays, Saturday, will include Myron Piker of Northwestern, winner of the 100 yard dash at the 1940 Relays and Big Ten sprint champion the past two years. Prominent in the shot put will be Loren Creese of Colorado, Big Seven conference champion. The 1940 national collegiate champion in the mile run, John Munski of Missouri, is one of four stars who will compete in an invitation mile run.

Ark Valley Teams Dominate Class A
Spring Basketball Begins Monday
All University men interested in freshman baseball should report to Red Dugan at the Stadium tonight to check out equipment.
A trio of Ark Valley schools to fight it out in Class A and a four way battle for the championship in Class B is the picture for the thirty-seventh annual University of Kansas interscholastic track and field meet, Friday.
won by Kiowa three of the last four years is expected to go to Burden, Moran, Ashland or Leon.
Waldecker and Schimel in the sprints, Lillibridge in the pole vault and the medley relay team are Hutchinson's other possible point winners.
East was impressive in copping top honors in the Anthony Relays last week, but was not up against Hutchinson, the team which defeated them at the Sterling Relays. North was second at Anthony and also showed considerable strength. Salthawks Depend on Love
Hutchinson's hopes lie almost completely with its sprint star, "Doc" Love. If Love can win the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes, and he is conceded a good chance of doing it, the Salthawks may well go on to victory. Love also may run on the 880 yard relay team, in which case Hutchinson would be favored to win that event.
Wichita East must defend its 1940 Class A championship against two strong challengers, Hutchinson and Wichita North. Among the schools with enrollment of less than 200, the title is by Kiuus three of the
The chief objective of the spring practice is to work the freshman squad in with the varsity in such a way as to draw a close comparison and make plans for next year, Dr. Allen said.
"At this time the boys will be busy studying, so I plan to practice at night so that they can study during the afternoon," he said.
North Looms Strong
East uncovered a new point winner at Anthony in Emmett George, pole vaulter, who won with a vault of 11 feet. George Leasure, state champion, won the mile run in 4:36 and Warren Fieandt of East again surpassed 190 feet in the javelin throw. Fieandt is the state's best track man.
North's stars are Jack Botkins in the 220 and 440 yard dashes, Ted Beckett in the low hurdles, Clayton Curnutt in the weight events. Thompson in the broad jump and the half-mile and mile relay teams.
Allen plans to hold practice three nights a week for three weeks. He says that the probable nights will be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
The Wichita school's chances of winning the Class A title again this year will depend in part upon the condition of its star hurdler, Ted Kolbohm. An infection kept him out of action last week.
