10 Men Leave For Annual Drake Relays
Dress rehearsal for the Drake relays was held yesterday afternoon in Memorial stadium by track coach Bill Hargiss' fleet-footed runners. In preparation for the trip to Des Moines, the Kansas tutor instructed his men to "go easy" for this last day of training.
A clear sky, supplemented by a warm sun, pepped up the athletes, making it difficult for them to rebrain from over-exertion. Often, a day or two before a meet, injuries are suffered when men attempt to whip into condition quickly. Not so with our Kansans.
The relay teams worked on baton passing for about thirty minutes, and a litlite running, pole vaulting.
and broadjumping was practiced. However, on the whole, the squad followed instructions and "took it easy."
Turner Practicing
Down on the home front, a veteran football player in the person of Jack Turner, came out of the training quarters with a javelin in his hand and a look in his eye. Whether Turner had ever thrown a javelin before was not learned, but it didn't look like it. He stepped to the line after a few practice throws and made a hurl of 150 feet. Hargiss was quick to pick up Turner.
Ten men left Memorial stadium at 1:15 this afternoon in two cars, all but one of which will run in relay events at Drake. Glenn Foy is the exception. He will compete in the 120-yard high hurdles.
Much to the disappointment of Coach Hargiss and three field event men, it was not possible to take along Bill Bevan and Jack O'Hara, pole vaulters, and J. R. Jones. bread-jumper.
We saw a man digging dandelions yesterday and carefully pouring oil on the spot where each flower had grown. Seems kind of silly. They grow fast enough without lubrication.
