Well, hard-luck Hargiss will take his charges down to the Texas Relays next Saturday in an attempt to bring home some of the laurels that the Texas team always takes from the Kansas Relays.
The team will leave at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning in motor cars. It is a probability that the cindermen will stop off at Norman, Okla., for a short work-out before they climb back into the crowded autos again. Then the squad will probably have another practice, either at S.M.U. in Texas or T.C.U.
If J. R. Jones, broadjumper, has really recovered from his back ailment as Coach Bill Hargiss reports, he should be one of the leading contenders for the broadjump title. As was seen in his last year's practice jumps, Jones is capable of leaping around the 24 foot mark. Jones is a former Southwest high school star from Kansas City, Mo. Hargiss is also thinking of using Jones in a position on a sprint medley relay team, but the Kansas mentor is not sure that he will enter such a team.
Don't get too excited about the rumor that Ralph "Cappy" Miller, football and basketball star, will be out on the cinders in a few days. Miller said that he was going to rest awhile before he does anything. "Cappy" is thinking about doing a little work on the low hurdles, on which he starred in his high school days at Chanute.
The time comes around again when Bill Hargiss gets his freshman track men out on the cinders and puts them through their paces. Then he gets that gleam in his eye and thinks that he can see a good varsity track squad. Again this year, Hargiss is much impressed by his yearlings especially his quarter-milers.
Excitement is beginning to run high around the campus. Most of the fraternities are beginning to ask rushees up to the Eighteenth Annual Kansas Relays, on April 19-20. It is rumored that it will be Glenn Cunningham's last appearance on the cinders. Credit will probably be given the Kansan miler, by naming the Saturday of the Relays "Glenn Cunningham Day." Glenn will probably not even run in a competitive race, but he might give a farewell exhibition.
Late developments around the inders: Bill Greene Jayhawker quarter-miler, pulled a leg muscle yesterday in practice, but Hargis said that he would probably run in the southern meet anyway. Things are beginning to look black again for the Jayhawker thin-clads.
Entries for the high school meet on April 19 are really pouring in to the athletic office. Only a week remains before the entries are due. In Class A, Paola, Ellis, and Oberlin have sent their entries. Kiowa, was the first Class B high school to send in its entries. Emmett, Gardner, and Reading followed in that order. So far, no college or university entries have been received by the athletic office. Plans are well under way for the event and the list of officials will be out in the near future. A "special mile race" will be one of the features of the Relays this year.
Scrimmage On Docket Of Spring Gridsters
A slow scrimmage was held under the direction of Coaches Gwinn Henry and Vic Hurt last evening by the spring gridsters in a wind, approaching a near-gale.
Paced by a fast backfield, Chuck Weinstram showed up exceptionally well, hurling bullet passes to the receiving arms of Denzil and Chet Gibbons, Don Pollom, Bob Hagen, Grant Hunter and others.
Offensive work was given special attention by the coaches who ran the men through a number of such plays. Blockers had to be on their toes to make holes in the line for the ball carriers to meet the approval of their tutors.
Jake Fry, a lettered backfield man, plunged through the line for several appreciative gains. Ed Hall, an aggressive fullback retained from last year's squad, drove through his opponent teammates in his usual persuasive manner.
Linemen such as Holloway, Hunter, J. Kerns, Bernstein, Massare, Hartman, and Dalrymple constituted a fairly strong offense.
Mike Getto's protegee, Grant Hunter, from Pennsylvania, made known his presence when runners attempted to go by his left end position.
Practice in punting, passing and receiving passes required nearly an hour of the squad's practice period. With a stron gwind at their backs, Hall, Weinstram, and Vandaveer made boots as far as 70 yards, which were uncertain in their destination, and swerved wildly in the air. Denzil Gibbons nabbed several of these punts and got away for speedy returns.
Don Pollom, a freshman, promises to be in the front row by fall.
Wayne Wilson, blond-headed letterman, did much of the centering

Six Defending Champions Back For Kansas Relays
For the first time in the history of the Kansas Relays, defending champions will compete in every one of the field events at the big track and field carnival April 20.
All six of last year's winners in the field events are back to defend their titles. Two of the men will be shooting for their third straight championships.
"Glamour boy" of the Kansas Relays the past two years has been Beefus Bryan, colorful University of Texas pole vaulter. The Longhorn ace won the pole-vault both years, setting new records on each occasion. In 1839 he vaulted 14 feet 2 inches here, and 14 feet 1 at the Border Olympics.
Olympic Other two-time winner is big Elmer Hackney from Kansas State. Hackney pushed the iron ball 50 feet to win here as a sophomore and last year set a new meet record in winning.

Dick Schnacke of Iowa State will have to down a crack field to win the high jump again this year. Schnacke made the best leap of his career, 6 feet 5 1-2 inches, to win here last spring. The Iowa State star is one of four seniors among the defending champions.
Missouri's other winner was Bob Waldram, southpaw javelin thrower, Waldram, a high school sensation, was second here in 1938 and moved up to first last year.

Big as Hackney is, he has to concede the size championship to Jack Hughes of Texas, last year's winner in the discus throw. The burly Longhorn weight man scales in at 260 pounds. Hughes consistently has been bettering the Relays discuss record of 154 feet this season.
