Southwestern Stars Shine
Texas Wins Five Firsts At Drake; Perfect Weather
Kansas City, April 27—(Special)—A hot sun beamed down on the two oldest relay carnivals in the country today and fine performances were the order of the day at the Drake Relays in Des Moines and the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.
"Beefus" Bryan captured the Longhorns' other first place in the individual events and likewise set a record. Bryan cleared 14 feet for a new mark in the pole vault.
Southwestern track and field stars held the spotlight at both meets, with the University of Texas making a brilliant showing at Drake and North Texas State winning the lion's share of the honors at Penn. $ \textcircled{*} $
Texas won five events at Drake and took second in another. Jack Hughes, 260-pound junior, set a new record in the discus throw with a heave of 159 feet, 9 1-2 inches.
Texas relay teams won the 440-yard relay, 880-yard relay and shuttle hurdle relay. The Longhorns' sprint relay team of Seay, Gatewood, Terry and Ramsdell won the 440-yard event in 41.8 and the same four men also copped the 880-yard relay.
Other Southwestern teams took second and third in both of these races. Rice finished second each time, with Texas A. & M. third in the 440 and Oklahoma third in the 880.
Boyce Gatewood, Texas senior hurdling star, was the workhorse of the day at Drake. Gatewood anchored the Longhorns' winning shuttle hurdle team brilliantly, in addition to running on both of the other winning Texas relay teams. He also was second in the 120-yard high hurdles.
Fred Wolcott of Rice ran the high hurdles in 14.3 to win his event at Drake for the third straight year.
Foy Wins Fourth
Big Six teams encountered rough going at Des Moines. Kansas' only place went to Glenm Foy, who ran fourth in the 440-yard hurdles.
Penn State, competing for the first time in the Drake Relays rather than the Penn Relays, provided two first place winners at Des Moines, Nick Vukmanik won the javelin throw with a mark of 213 feet 9 inches. Penn State's Negro sophomore star, Barney Ewell, captured the 100-yard dash in 9.9.
Other Drake Relays winners were Harris of Indiana, shot put, 48 feet 9 inches; Brown, Lousiana State, broad jump, 24 feet 1 1-2 inches; Canham, Michigan, high jump, 6 ft. 4 3-4 inches; and Cochran, Indiana, 440-yard hurdles, 53.3.
New Half Mile Record
North Texas State's small squad set a new record in the 880-yard relay of 1.254 at the Penn Relays and placed in one event after another. The Eagles were second in the 440-yard relay, second in the mile relay and third in the sprint medley relay. Welby Williams of North Texas, was second in the 100-yard dash and the Eagles' javelin star, Mikeska, was third in his event.

SPORTSCOPE By Larry Winn
For the first five innings last Friday afternoon, the Jayhawker diamond team looked fairly good, but from then on, the Cyclone batsmen turned the game into a track meet. In the "big sixth" Iowa made 8 runs.
If I had any money to bet on baseball games in the Big Six I wouldn't put it on Kansas. I am afraid that the Jayhawkers are going to have about the same type baseball club that we have had around here for years. K.U. is just not a "hot bed" for baseball players.
The second inning was the "jinx" section of the ball game to Kansas. With John Burge on the mound, Monte Merkel, catcher, tried to field a bunt, and made an overthrow to first baseman, Jack Sands. To top this off, shortstop Kraemer, let a grounder roll right between his legs, allowing two men to score. Then the "up-set" Burge proceeded to walk two men in succession, and Coach Mike Getto proceeded to yank Burge, and insert Horak on the mound.
Official Announcement at last:
The 1940 Olympic Games, a football for the world's war lords for three years, finally were cancelled definitely when Finland decided it would be impossible to hold the international competition at Helsinki this summer . . . Guess the athletes didn't think it would be so much fun dodging javelins, shot puts, hand grenades, discuses, shells, hammer throws, and bullets at the same time.
TORN FROM A SPORTS WRITER'S NOTEBOOK: by Henry McLemore, reveals that speed driver, Wilbur Shaw has suggested that pari-mutuel machines be installed at the Indianapolis Speedway for the benefit of those who would like to bet on the 500-mile race. McLemore says that it will never be adopted because the track officials know what a howl of protest would arise if a heavily backed driver happened to be killed.

Cyclones Drub Kansas Nine; Errors Costly
A deluge of enemy base hits and Kansas errors on Friday afternoon followed by a deluge of rain on Saturday morning combined to make it a blue week end for Coach Mike Getto and his Jayhawk baseball team
After committing nine errors in Friday's game and handing the decision to the visiting Cyclones, the Jayhawks saw their chances for revenge in the second match of the series buried under one inch of precipitation which rendered the varsity diamond unplayable.
Iowa State entrained at 10 o'clock last night for Manhattan where they will engage Kansas State in a two game series tomorrow and Tuesday. From Manhattan, the Cyclones will head south to Norman for two battles with the Oklahoma Sooners on Friday and Saturday.
The postponed game will be played as part of a doubleheader when Kansas tangles with Iowa State at Ames on May 24 and 25.
Leon Wilson, ace of the Iowa State pitching staff, settled down after a shaky first inning in Friday's game and went on to rack up his third straight victory while his mates made merry with the offerings of John Burge and Henry Horak.
The Cyclones bagged three runs in the first and chased Burge from the mound with three more in the second. Horak became the second Kansas pitcher and finished the game, although he almost capsized under an eight run blast in the sixth. The left hander, who struck out eight and gave an equal number of walks, looked good at times, and, had his defense not played him false, the score might have been closer.
Jack Sands, Kansas first baseman, apparently wasn't laboring under the

Kansas Golfers Split Matches With Missouri
Rain-soaked courts caused postponement of tennis matches scheduled with the University of Missouri yesterday, but the Jayhawk linken, after trailing the first nine holes, split their matches 9 to 9 with the Tiger golfers.
Bob LaGree, playing in the last foursome, sank a 20-foot putt for a birdie on the 18th hole, to gain half a point on his foursome and tie the match with the Tigers. Dean Ritchie and Rod Wakeland both parred the 17th hole and Ritchie birdied the 18th to square their foursome with Hogeboom and Victors, Tigers golfers, $ \frac{1}{2} $ to $ \frac{1}{3} $ .
Dean Ritchie, Jayhawk captain,
and Bob Hogeboom, who captains
the Tiger golfers, both shot the 18
holes in 76 for medalist honors.
Ritchie shot two birdies on the back
nine. Rod Wakeland played his
usual good game after an off-day
against Wichita University Wednesday,
and turned in a 78 for runner-up honors.
Jayhawk squadmen lost both of their practice matches with the Missourians. Missildine, Missouri, (80), defeated Bill Gray, K.U., (85), 3-0; Miles, Missouri, (84), defeated Burr Sifers, K.U., (90), 3-0.
This was the fourth match for Coach Shannon's men. They started the spring season by swamping Kansas City University, 18 to 0, and defeating Nebraska, their first Big Six opponent, 16 to 2, in their second. Wichita University handed the Big Six defending champions their only loss.
The golf and tennis teams journey to Topeka Wednesday for matches with Washburn College in their next dual meet.
