M.U. Swamps Trackmen
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
The accident insurance rate on Jayhawker track captains is probably as high as that on any group you can find. In the last six years Coach "Bill" Hargiss has been deprived—partially or completely—of the services of five captains and two co-captains, six of them via the injury route.
This year Bill hit the jack pot when Bob Stoland lost in a joust with the eligibility rules, and Ray Harris has been hampered for two weeks with a badly sprained ankle. He will not run again until he competes in the Big Six indoor meet at Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
This jinx began in 1936 when Elwyn Dees, star shot putter, was laid low for weeks with a bone infection. The bone had to be scraped and he missed nearly all the regular season. However, he did regain his usual form in time to win the National Collegiate shot put championship.
In '37 Charley Pitts, the broad-jumper, was the leader and though he competed right on through the season with a pulled muscle he could not reach the performances that won him the Relays' jumping crown his junior year.
Wade Green, a salty quartermiler his junior year, was elected to lead the Jayhawk thin-clads during 1937, but a football injury hobbled him during his senior campaign.
The next year another 440 star, Harry Wiles, captained the team aid in a dual meet with Missouri in Brewer fieldhouse he was spiked and the tendon in the back of his heel was nearly severed. The rest of the season was spent recovering from the injury and he was able to do only a little running late in the spring.
Last year sprinter Lyle Foy was honored with the track captaincy, but a pulled leg muscle kept him from touching the performances he had turned in during his sophomore and junior years.
Chi Omega's and Theta's Win Games
Kappa Alpha Theta overpowered
Alpha Omicron Pi, 11 to 6, in women's intramural basketball Thursday night. Agile Ruth Olive Brown shot 10 out of the Theta's 11 points.
None of the current track team believes in witches or gobblings or moon cults, but they have just about decided not to elect a captain for next year.
Spirited spectators cheered Chi Omega on to a 14 to 7 victory over Alpha Chi Omega in the opposite court. Gloria Biechele, Chi Omega, was high-scorer with 10 points.
Jayhawks Take Only One Event In 81-23 Defeat
Columbia, Mo., Feb. 24—(Special to The Kansan).—Winning 11 of the 12 events, the Missouri Tigers' well-balanced track team swamped Kansas, 81 to 23, in Brewer fieldhouse here tonight.
The Jayhawkers only first place came in the 60-yard dash when fleet little Darrell Mathes tied the record of 6.4 seconds, held by a former Kansan, Lyle Foy.
John Munski, the Bengals' super distance ace, set up new marks in the mile and two-mile runs as he scampered in ahead o'
Dominoes I Move Closer To Playoff
By Clint Kanaga. c'42
Led by Deines and Maier, the Dominoes I moved closer to a playoff berth with a 38 to 6 victory over the Jayhawk Co-op. It was the Dominoes' sixth victory in eight starts.
The Phi Gamma Delta powerhouse whaled the Acacia team 41 to 19 despite the absence of their scoring ace, Roscoe Hambric. Chain Healy, Phi Gam, shifted from his customary guard position to Hambric's place on the front line and grabbed the scoring honors with seven field goals and one free throw.
Retaliating from their one-point defeat at the hands of the Hell-hounds, the Theta Tau's slaughtered Kappa Eta Kappa, conquerers of the Comets, 40 to 17. Barnett, Theta Tau guard, garnered 24 points.
Phi Gam "B" suffered its first loss in seven games, falling before Sigma Alpha Epsilon "B," 19 to 22. Phi Psi "B" continued to be the pacesetter of Division IV with an impressive 46 to 10 triumph over Sig Ep "B." Beta "B" downed Sigma Nu "B," 26 to 13 with Surface, Beta, starring.
Contests won by forfeit are as follows: ISA-1 over ISA-3, Phi Delta Theta over Delta Upsilon, Alpha Tau Omega over Sigma Phi Epsilon, Hexagons I over Ohio Ichabods, Phi Dirt “C” over Phi Delt “D.” Delta Tau Delta “C” over Sigma Chi “C,” Beta “C” over Sig Ep “C.”
