Wide Margin for Dominoes Bill Mackie Wins Three Events For Independents SPORTSCOPE
With all of the excitement of the premiere and movie stars dashing hither and thither on a schedule which is none too much to their liking, it is kind of hard for me to write sports today.

write sports records. Entries to the Kansas Relays are really beginning to pour into the athletic office, according to Earl Falkenstein. Northwestern sent in an entry of 10 men yesterday, and other entries from Yankton college of South Dakota, and Doane College of Crete, Nebraska were in the mail this morning. This will probably be the last short article on the entries, of either the college or high schools and a complete list will be published in a short time.
We must link up the movie stars with athletics somehow, and so in case you couldn't tell by looking, John Wayne played tackle for the Southern California Trojans. He has a brother, Bob Morrison that is just "red-hot" in the aquatic events. John is still considered one of the best athletes on the coast.
Roy Rogers, a rag-time cowboy, is another that is gaining athletic fame on the coast and especially around Hollywood. Roy is noted for his bowling teams, of which he is one of the leading participants. The blonde movie celebrity has an average of 197 which is darn good in any man's league.
They are out: After a quick glance around the Hill, I see that comparatively few students and townpeople have Kansas Relays stickers on their cars. There really should be no reason for hesitation on these stickers because they are free at the athletic office. All you have to do is ask for one or a hundred. The stickers were designed this year, per usual, by Ed Elbel, of announcing and intramural leadership fame. Ed is quite talented along this designing and sketching line. If you remember the large cut of Dr. F. C. Allen that was on the front page of the Kansan just before the Indiana game, credit should be given to the Kansas Relays "man behind the scenes".
It looks like the baseball teams will be putting on the finishing touches in a few days now that the baseball season is practically under way before we realize it. Writing sports is one thing and memorizing sports is another. Two of the best examples that I know of are Bob Trump and Horace Mason. Trump, Kansan baseball reporter, can name the batting average of almost any player of the major or minor leagues that ever held a bat in his hand. Mason can tell you the best track men in the country, their records, new accomplishments, and their best efforts down to the "enth" degree. By the by, Mason is quite the predictor, and if you want to know what is in the sports horoscope for the future, ask the K.U. publicity man.

By virtue of winning first place in the intramural swimming meet by a margin of sixty-one points the Galloping Dominoes are now in second place, close behind the Beta's, in the race for the men's intramural sweepstakes cup.
The Dominoes scored 114 points in the meet which finished yesterday, as against 53 points for the runner-up Sigma Chi team. Phi Delta Theta came in third with 48 points.
The margin of victory was large because the Dominoes won
Big Six Teams Conditioning For Openers
While the Kansas baseball team points for its opening battle of the season with Rockhurst here next Wednesday, other Big Six squads are also playing non-conference games which they hope may condition them for the coming campaign.
Down at Norman, the Oklahoma Sooners, who have been installed as pre-season favorites to finish at the top of the first division, haven't been letting any grass grow under their feet.
Jap Haskell's men took a four-day swing into Texas last week and pounded out three victories in four starts against the Baylor Bears. The next day at Austin, 4,000 spectators watched the Texas Longhorns, with Mal Deutch on the mound, defeat the Sooners by an 8 to 6 score. The Longhorn fireball ace, one of the outstanding hurlers in the Southwest, had already won from the Tulsa Oilers of the class A-1 Texas league in an exhibition game this spring, and yet the Sooners slammed him hard during his stay in the pitcher's box. The Texas nine will play a return engagement at North man on May 6 and 7.
Bad weather has kept the Iowa State squad from rounding into shape as quickly as Coach Cap Timm might have liked, but the Cyclones will have an opportunity to show that they're ready when they meet Simpson college this afternoon. No stranger to Jayhawk fans will be big Al Budolfson, Cyclone shortstop, who played center on the Iowa State basketball team last winter.
last year's team will be back on the court for the Jayhawkers. Urhlaub is expecting his boys to be pretty 'salty' on the court, since they do have two of their best player's with a year of varsity experience.
The appearance of Erv Reid, veteran Kansas State outfielder, for last Saturday's practice game, is one of the chief reason for the smiles which have been wreathing the face of Coach "Chili" Cochrane this
Bob Allen is still undecided as to whether or not he will go out for varsity baseball or participate in intramural diamond play. If he does decide to play for the school, he will be the third first baseman from the basketball team.
first in six events, second in three, third in one and fourth in two.
Bill Mackie, Galloping Dominoes, came through as predicted and won his two events, 50 yard stroke and 100 yard free style, in very good times. These victories and a post on the Domineo relay team made him the high scorer of the meet.
Features of the day were close races and as a result, the times were better than previously had been recorded in the meet. The best race of the day was the 50 yard free style, for hardly a yard separated the four men as they finished. Dalton, Galloping Dominoe, was the victor.

week. A shoulder separation received during the basketball season was believed to have ended any chance Reid might have of playing baseball this year, but an X-ray taken last week showed that the injury was healing rapidly, and physicians permitted him to report for practice. Whether Reid can play through a full game, will be determined next Tuesday when the Wildcats tangle with Baker at Manhattan.
Relays Are Outland's 'Dream In Reality'
On April 20 another colorful array of track and field stars will be gathered in the Memorial stadium for the eighteenth annual Kansas Relays.
By Larry Winn
Approximately 18 years ago, another such star-studded field of athletes participated in the first running of the Kansas Relays. This famous annual track and field event first began in 1923.
When the first annual Kansas Relays were inaugurated, they brought to reality the cherished dream of Dr. John H. Outland, now a famous alumni. Outland's idea originated when he came back from the University of Pennsylvania, the home of the Penn Relays. He dreamed of a huge track and field meet in the Middle West.
In 1920, he returned to Mt. Oread, and at this time he explained his idea to Dr. F. C. Allen, who received it with much enthusiasm. In the spring of that year, plans were formulated for the beginning of the Kansas Relays, and these plans were made effective April 30, 1923.
In starting the Kansas Relays, Dr. Allen made radio speeches, printed Relays stickers, and printed a 62-page program in order to promote interest in the Middle Western meet. Since the inauguration of these famous relays, the Kansas event rates high among the many famous outdoor relays such as the Penn, Texas, Coloradó, Drake, and Illinois Relays.
In the following 17 years of the Kansas Relays, since the meet first began in 1923, many records have been established and many trophies given away. Many such famous athletes as Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venske, Charles Fenske, James Bausch, Ralph Metcalf, Glenn Morris, Fred Wolcott, and
Elmer Hackney have participated in this famous event of which the students, faculty and alumni should well be proud.
So the University of Kansas should consider itself lucky to be the sponsor of such a fine athletic meet that will celebrate its eighteenth anniversary.
Girls Rate Intelligence First in Husband Choice
According to a survey conducted in the marriage and human relations courses, Keuka students place intelligence at the top of the list of most essential traits for a mate.
Penn Yan, N.Y. (UP)—Prospective mates of Keuka College women may do well to take a thorough inventory of their "gray matter."
