Track Team Limbers Up For Relays
Back on their own soil again, the Jayhawker trackmen are rubbing the rain from Texas skies from their eyes and are beginning to limber up for the Kansas Relays. April 20
With only 10 days to go, the tracksters have't much time to get in practice, and so they are settling down to a stiff workout every afternoon.
The team has a number of good runners, including dash men, quarter and half milers, and until the upset of Captain Ray Harris, it had an equally good mile and two miler.
After straining himself to finish second at the Texas Relays, it may some time before he can run profitably for the K.U. team again. For the past two days, he has had his shoe taped to his foot and has attempted to trot around the stadium horseshoe, but the result, was a slow, painful limp.
Don Thompson, sensational miler and half-miler, is one of the few men who has not been stricken with injuries this year. Every time he runs, he turns in a good performance, and in a relay, invariably gives the next runner a lead on the rest of the teams. He is becoming famous for his last fifty-yard sprint which is almost unparalleled in western competition.
Running along with Thompson, is Dick Edwards, a lean blond who will bear watching in the Relays a week from Saturday.
Bill Bevan and J. R. Jones last night took over the runways and lid some strenuous, routine work. Bevan consistently vaulted 12 feet and better, while Jones had little trouble in leaping out 21 to 22 feet, and did better when he felt the urge.
Diminutive Darrell Mathes speed around and around the track in 100 and 220 yard dashes. Spectators commented on his quick take-off, his form, and his speed in general. It looks as though Kansas would have an able defendant for these two races the 20th.
And still the weight men have not turned out as Coach Bill Hargiss would like to have them. Both the discuss and shut-puts lie idle in the check room except for occasional limbering-up exercises by team members.
From all the huskies in K.U., it seems unbelievable not to have a single man wanting to enter these two events. The baseball and football squads eliminate a great many of the possibilities, however.
The javelin throwers, namely, Carty Dawes and Alfred Arky, show up every afternoon to try and conquer the "Finnish style" of tossing the spear. Coach Hargiss is pleased with the results one night and disappointed the next. Tosses of 170 feet encourage him to think he may turn out a 200-foot thrower in a week or two, and poor form the next evening disappoints him into wondering.
The low and high hurdles are left unused, (with the exception of a flock of high schoolers), and the high jump standards have produced only minor results by their call for jumpers.
Naismith Field House Discussed
Dr. F. C. Allen and the members of his victorious basketball team collected gifts like a member of the Salvation Army last night at a banquet given by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Wrist watches, jackets, and a list of the boys that were recommended for letters were presented.
Dear Nesmith, varsity trainer and E. J. Falkenstein, athletic department secretary, were also given wrist watches.
Besides the Kansas basketball squad and about 00 Lawrence citizens, the Wyandotte high school cage team from Kansas City, Kansas, was present at the banquet.
Paul Endacott, president of the K.U. Alumni association, was the principal speaker at the banquet. Coach Allen also said a few words.
Allen mentioned plans for a Dr. James Naismith field house for the University. The Kansas coach compared this fighting basketball team of 1940 to the midget football squad of 1920, that tied Nebraska 20 to 20, with a brilliant last half rally and which was largely responsible for the building of the Memorial Stadium.
"The spirit of that team," Allen said, "was what warmed up the fans and alumni to the idea of building a stadium. This year's basketball team is of the same type."
"Conceded only an outside chance to go places in its own conference, Kansas surprised everyone with its will to win, therefore it wound up second in the nation," continued Allen.
"This is the type of a team that the fans like. The time is ripe to start work on the memorial for Dr. Naismith."
There has been discussion for some time now, to erect a field house on the campus in honor of the founder of the game of basketball, who spent so many years of his life serving the University.

The Sig Alph's had little trouble downing the Phi Gams, 11-3, with Hall on the mound. The Phi Gams had several pitchers throughout the contest, but could not stop the Alphs. In the other two games, the Hillside Club entered the won column by defeating the Oread Boys, 16-4. In a "seesaw" battle, Triangle won over Kappa Eta Kappa 25-19. Although they scored seven runs in the last inning, Kappa Eta Kappa could not overcome Triangles lead.
