Mathes, Hamilton Run 9.7 Second Century Dash
"Now I've been watching you fellas all the time and I know what you're doing. I believe you'd make a good hurdler," track coach Bill Hargiss tells an exceptional piece of material in a warm-up suit.
"That?" says a bystander, "Why that's Sanneman. He's a good man but he's ineligible."
And then the onlooker's expectant face droops. Bill Knight, a real javelin thrower, stands in the same light in the eyes of the college office officials.
"Crip" Ray Harris will not be able to run in the Kansas Relays Saturday. For the past two weeks he has been trodding over the cinders at the medium race track trying to force his shattered instep into a running position, but it seems only to drag.
In one of the fastest races run this year by any K.U. runners, Darrell Mathes and Kenny Hamilton yesterday afternoon sped down the straight-a-way in a 100-yard dash in 9:7.5 seconds, which is just $3\frac{1}{2}$ tenths of a second slower than the world's record in this event.
"Whew,"says a bystander, "that guy's good. Who is he?"
Mathes ran nearly three yards ahead of Hamilton until the finish, when Hamilton pressed his opponent to the tape. Mathes touched the line first, but Hamilton was so close behind him that he snapped it in two. This is the best race Hamilton has ever run, he claims. Mathes once before ran a 9.7 seconds 100-yards.
a special 220-yard dash, Bill Greene headed the winner list above two others. His time was 23.8 seconds.
Several 60 - second quarter-miles were dashed off yesterday by Ed-Hadis, Thompson, and Greene.
Bob Lorenzen, a thin Lawrence lad, practiced on the high jump with Sanneman. Lorenzen jumped 6 feet, while Sanneman cleared 6 feet 3 inches. Both are ineligible, but should prove valuable next season.
Even though Captain Harris will be unable to run in the four-mile relay Saturday, a team which is expected to pull through the ranks with a possible blue ribbon, is that of Ryan, Thompson, Hatfield, and Edwards. All of these men run under a 4:30 mile consistently. The four expect to hit a 17 minute 50 second stride in their combined four riles in the relays.
Bill Bevan and Jack O'Hara did some pole vaulting, but did not attempt any records. Smoothing out in nice form, they easily made 11 feet.
r. Allen Speaks at Topeka High
Ralph Miller, a hurdler, and Herb Hartman, a shot-putter will not compete in the Relays.
Don Thompson and Dick Edwards, distance runners, the mainstays of the track squad, ran several laps together yesterday, getting down 'pat,' an already fast style of running.
*This same team will run the two-mile relay the same day.*
Dr. Allen Speaks at Topeka High Dr. F. C. Allen spoke before an assembly at Topeka high school yesterday on "The Values of Physical Education as a Contribution Toward Health." Dr. Allen's address was the opening feature of "health week" which began in Topeka Monday.
