Eleven Men To Annual Texas Relays
2 By Carlyle Dawes, c'42
At almost the crack of dawn this morning, the University of Kansas track team left for their first outdoor track meet at Austin to enter the Texas relays, which will be held Saturday.
Those making the trip are: Ray Harris, Don Thompson, Glenn Foy, Bill Greene, Dick Edwards, Darrrell Mathes, Kenny Hamilton, Bill Reed, Bill Bevan, J. R. Jones, and Joe Ryan.
Captain Ray Harris, distance runner, and Bill Greene, quarter miler, have pulled through their injuries and are two of a squad of 11 men which Bill Hargiss, track coach, took with him for the meet.
Coach Hargiss is taking a squad which is the best KU, has to offer in their particular events. A 4-mile relay team which is composed of Ryan. Edwards. Thompson, and Harris, each of whom has run a mile under 4.25.
Harris hurt his Nebraska ankle strain again the first of the week. Greene thought he had pulled a ligament in his leg, and was very dubious as to whether or not he would be able to run Saturday until late yesterday afternoon.
A fast one-mile relay team is that of Greene, Hamilton, Mathes, Foy or Reed. Hargiss has decided to run these men in a one-mile relay instead of the planned two-mile race.
Bill Bevan and J. R. Jones were out on the track limbering up yesterday afternoon before their take-off with the squad this morning, but did not attempt their favorite events, the pole vault and the broad jump, respectively. The whole squad worked out only lightly with the exception of two half-mile races by

N.Y.A. Assists on Movie
Minneapolis, Minn. (UP)—Using real life histories for scenario, N.Y.A. project workers for actors, and real saloons, dance halls and farms for "location" shots, the University of Minnesota visual education department has filmed a sociological movie entitled "Youth of a Nation."
Dick Edwards, Joe Ryan, and Glenn Foy.
Hargiss has found no weight man who he wants to take on such an out-of-town journey. Al Arkey, a 195 pound shot-putter and javelin tosser is making fair progress. Carty Dawes is working out with the javelin. By Kansas Relay time, the two should be able to produce.
The team will make the trip in two private-cars and will arrive at the University of Oklahoma, at Norman, tomorrow in time for a brief work-out and rest.
C. of C. to Fete Kansas Cagers
The sports group of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will honor the Jayhawker basketball team with a recognition dinner next Tuesday night at 6:30 at the country club. Arrangements for the affair are being made by A. E. Woestemeyer, former Kansas basketball star.
Pictures of the Rice and Indiana games which were played at Kansas City in the N.C.A.A. tournament will be shown.
The dinner will be open to the public. Places where tickets can be purchased will be announced later.

Grid Team---in line. Ward Crowell, junior letterman, who has been shifted from guard to end is also capable of nosing out the top three. Renko is not in school this semester, but will be back next fall for his final year.

Last year's accused weak link tackle should be vastly improved. Jim Holloway, W. F. Jack, and Monte Merkel, who shared duty at this spot with Jack Turner and Dan Rhule last autumn, will be back next season, a year wiser and with Zimmerman, and Relph from the "frosh" and Bill Kern and Dick Brown, returning squadmen, a successful starting duo should be found. Holloway is not enrolled this semester but is working out with the squad.
squad. A well-rounded and powerful backfield is assured when the Red and Blue squares off with Iowa State in its first 1940 engagement.
Three junior lettermen, Ed Hall, Ed Suagee, and Bill Bunsen will furnish the bucking and blocking power while sophomores Denzil Gibbens, Marvin Vanderveer, and
Jake Frye deliver speed.
Charles "Chuck" Wendstrand, who played a few minutes at end in 1938, has returned to school and is looking first class in the ball carrying and passing departments. Chester Gibbens will again be on hand to do extra-point kicking. Ed Lindquist is another sophomore back who should not be counted out.
Put these facts together with the possibility the junior Ralph Miller, who was named by many as the best passer in the Midlands last season, might return with two good legs instead of one; the observer begins to see that this backfield might go places.
Miller is not out for spring practice this year, but will join the squad next fall. Bunsen is another who is not enrolled in school.
Dummy scrimmage and actual scrimmage have been order of the week for Henry's squad. The veteran mentor seems content with a small amount of experimenting and is principally concerned with perfecting his intricate offense.

"Just wait til we're rich!
Two things made this possible. First, people want electric service. They want to share in its benefits and the release it brings from back-breaking labor. Second, the people of your electric company have worked tirelessly for years to improve service and reduce rates, so that more and more people could have electric service.
Together, your demand and our employees' efforts have made possible the quantity production of electricity. The more units of anything that can be produced and sold, the smaller the cost of each unit will be. If, like so many families, you are now using lots of light, a radio, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, toaster, washing machine and other appliances, you probably pay very little more to operate all of these than you paid for light alone not so many years ago.
Today, as far as electric service is concerned, everyone is rich. Rates have come down and standards of service have gone up because we work on the American principle of making a good thing better and selling it to more people for less money. That principle has made Americans the richest people in the world.
Today we smile at that memory. Now everyone can afford finer electric service than could be had at any price twenty years ago.
YOU don't have to be very old to remember when only the "big house on the hill" had electric service—when you, as a youngster, watched its magic brilliance and said to yourself, "Just wait 'til we are rich!"
MORE FOR YOUR MONEY
In the last 10 to 15 years, the engineering improvements and operating economies of your electric company have made it possible to cut the average price of household electricity just about in half. Many customers now using more household appliances, lots of light, a radio and refrigerator pay very little more to operate all of these than they used to pay for light alone.
