Cowboys Keep Rolling
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
A few hits and misses on the Kansas-Kansas State indoor dual meet here yesterday afternoon which the Wildcats finally won, 551-2 to 481-2.
Most of the railbirds were con-
cedencing the Jayhawkers the baton
scramble, but couldn't see how
they could pick up a second in the
hurdles. Earlier in the meet the
Wildcats had romped in one-two-three in the high sticks. It looked like a tough go, but Foy nosed out Darden of State for second place and it left the mile relay to decide the winner.
Lyle Foy, kinky-haired Jayhawk spinner, twice set himself up as the hero of the day only to see his team lose the meet by inches rather than points in the final race. With two events left Kansas was leading by a point and needed at least a second in the low hurdles and first in the relay to win the meet.
At the end of the first hitch Kansas was only a stride back, but Cris Eberhardt. No 2 man, dropped nearly ten yards to his Purple foe in bringing the stick around to Foy. Then, again Glen proved equal to the task as he took up the slack and touched off anchorman Bill Greene only a step behind the Aggie climax runner. Greene had already coped the 440 and looked like a cinch to breeze home ahead, but Robinson wouldn't be beaten and nudged the tape a scant inch ahead of the Jayhawker.
The fine indoor track Coach Bill Hargiss has laid out under the East side of the stadium this year must be the explanation of those six records being broken and one being tied. Outside of Elmer Hackney (slowed up with an injured wrist) and Ray Harris (suffering from a cold and injured foot) neither team had a performer of the standout variety. There have been lots better crops of athletes during the 25 or 30 years this meet has been going on, but they have not been able to turn in the marks that were hung up yesterday. It's no place for spectators, but it's o.k. for the competitors.
The starter also set a new track record in getting the 60-yard dash underway . . . They finally got off on the sixth start . . . Elmer Hackney looked like he was aiming at one of the lights while he was throwing the shot . . . He just came out of the dressing room long enough to set a new record, then disappeared again. . . During the two-mile race Harris walked along and talked to Coach Hargiss for awhile, then hustled along to finish third on his bad ankle . . .
The Wildcats swept all the points in the shot put and high hurdles . . .
High jumper Solt of K-State gave the bar a good bouncing when he got off his winning leap, but it stayed on . . . Paul Masoner, last year's low hurdle ace, was at the finish line to greet Foy when he came in with his valuable second place.

Ghosts Win, 42-36 But Hexagons Give Them Scare
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
A desperate rally by the Hexagons in the last 10 minutes of play last night gave the unbeaten Galloping Ghosts the worst scare they have had this season. The Ghosts won by a score of 42 to 36. Chester Gibbons led the second half attack for the Hexagons, gathering 13 points in this period.
Despite the loss of Gene Hiatt, a center with a 11.1 average, Sigma Alpha Epsilon triumphed over Kappa Sigma. 26 to 18. Ziegelmeyer and Hall paced the Sig Alph's to victory.
Displaying its usual powerhouse offense, Phi Gamma Delta won over Phi Kappa Psi, 56 to 32. Fine individual performances were turned in by Hambric, Healy, and Morris, all Phi Gams, and Meade, Phi Psi. The Phi Gam's are tied with the Delta Chl's and the Sig Alph's for the leadership of Division I.
Sigma Chi moved back into the win column with an impressive win over a weak Triangle five, 40 to 15. The Sigma Chi's were never pressed and

Kansas Loses Cage Thriller By Two Points
Stillwater, Okla., Feb. 16—A tight-guarding Oklahoma Aggie team came from behind here last night to nose out the Kansas Jayhawkers, 24 to 22, and even the score between the two cage powers this year. Kansas had won 34 to 30 in the season's opener at Lawrence.
Trailing 15 to 18 at the half, the Cowboys held "Phog" Allen's lads to two field goals in the last period to chalk up their twentieth consecutive victory of the season and their forty-fourth straight at home.
Renick Breaks Tie
It was Jess "Cab" Renick's only goal of the evening, coming with three minutes left in the ball game, that broke the 22-22 tie and handed his mates the victory. Kansas got a few hurried shot in the waning minutes, but could not connect.
After A. and M. had gone out after an early 13 to 8 lead, the Jayhawkers went to work and buckets by Ralph Miller, Bob Allen, and Bruce Voran put them ahead, 14 to 13. They went on to take it 18 to 15 by halftime.
Engleman Hits Twice
Jayhawk Tank Team Meets K-State Tomorrow
In the final chukker Howard Engleman, Kansas forward hobbling around on an injured knee, was the only Jayhawk who could find the range. He rustled the netting twice to tie the score after the Punchers had gone ahead, 22 to 18 on buckets by Slade, Eggleston, and Schwertfeger.
Slade and Swertfeger led the scoring with seven points each, with Bruce Voran pacing the visitor's attack with three goals.
The teams must have set a new low in personal fouls. Only two were called against the Jayhawker, both on John Kline, and the Aggies were charged with only five. Each team tallied twice from the free throw line.
The Robinson gymnasium pool will be churning aplenty tomorrow afternoon when the Kansas State tank team comes to town to match strokes with the Jayhawker mermen. The meet will get underway at 3 o'clock.
It will be the Kansas team's first meet of the season after having the Iowa State affair postponed because of a blizzard and the Oklahoma dual cancelled for lack of finances.
Coach Jim Raport announced this morning that Herbert Alphin of the physical education department will

serve as starter and he and Miss Ruth Hoover, also of the physical education staff, will judge the diving event.
Lloyd Koelling, Jayhawker diver competing in his first season here, is expected to develop into one of the finest divers in the loop.

Darold Dodge, Kansas State hurdler, captured first in both the high and low stick events here yesterday afternoon as the Wildcats defeated Kansas in the season's opening indoor meet.
Women All Even In Telegraphic Rifle Matches
The first week's shooting in the women's intercollegiate telegraphic rifle match has been completed and scores have been received by Major Raymond Edwards.
This match is being held simply for the purpose of creating enthusiasm and not for any award. Each team shoots on its own range and telegraphs its scores to the other

Win in Relay Hands Aggies Indoor Dual
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
The proverbial inch is still as good as a mile and that about tells the story of the 55 1-2 to 48 1-2 defeat which Kansas State pinned on K.U. in a dual track meet in the improvised field house below the stadium here yesterday afternoon. The Jayhawkers went into the final event, the mile relay, trailing by two points and were beaten out at the finish by less than a step.
Six meet records were broken and one tied during the afternoon and at no time after the first three events did the score vary more than a couple of points. A crowd of approximately 200 persons stood around the track and followed the events, sometimes so closely that it was necessary to call a halt to clear the track.
Fleet little Darrel Mathes came from behind with a burst of speed to overtake Akors and win the 60-yard dash in the record breaking time of 6.3 seconds.
A record shattering performance by Ray Harris gave him first place in the mile. Turning in a 4:29.9 mile on an injured ankle, he lowered the previous record held by Miller of Kansas State.
Mathes Takes Dash
Another record came in the pole vault. Jack O'Hara, sophomore, bet? tered his teammate Bill Bevens in
