Jayhawker Track Men Face Nebraska and Kansas State At Manhattan Saturday
BELL-owings by JIM BELL Kanson Sports Editor
Blow Up No. 6: Ralph Miller's name is legend in Kansas high school basketball. Whose name is it?
comes along people over the state begin comparing him to Ralph. The story of his amazing prep record is well known. While he was still a junior, the national press hailed him as the
Ralph Miller
basketball player in the history of the sport. He came to K.U. and during his freshman year was, along with Howard Engleman, the spark of Kansas' greatest freshman team. During football season, he suffered a severe knee injury which has never completely headed. In spite of this injury, Ralph was the life and fire in the Kansas machine from the middle of the season on. He should rate at one of the two or three outstanding forwards in the conference next year.
Open letter to the Sports Editor of the Kansas State Student Paper
Mv Dear Sir:
Departing from our usual practice of ignoring the country press, we reply to your ill conceived question by a recent issue of your paper.
We will, out of consideration for your environment, ignore the subtle aspersions you cast upon this column. However, we can not pass over your statements because our football team for next year.
You're darn tootin', we're whoooping it up for a good team next year. We have plenty of confidence in Gwinn "Pye" Henry down here. We've got a good team and a good coach.
If you will read our prediction over once more, you will notice that we said that Kansas would win over Kansas State (that's you), Iowa State and Nebraska. We said nothing about beating Missouri, nor did we say Kansas had a good chance of knocking over Oklahoma. We will repeat (for your benefit) that the Missouri game is a toss up and the Jayhawkers will give Oklahoma the best team in the conference, a mighty fine fight.
Yes, my friend, Kansas will have a good ball club next fall. In fact they were pretty good last year, or you do remember the score of the Kansas-Kansas State game last fall. In case you was Kansas 27, Kansas State 7, you called it a "breather."
Bell.
Sincerely,
P. S. Remd Dan Partner that Ray Harris will be running in the distance events against Mitchell Saturday. We can't share his opinion when he says, "K-State's Charles Mitchell is expected to take the distance runs without undue trouble."
**Stuff and Junk:** The baseball team had plenty of tough breaks at Norman. . . 11 long fly balls were snarreed by Sooner outfielders. . . They're saying that this years dream crew is the best since baseball was returned to the list of varsity sports in 1837. . . We agree. . . Larry Hensley is going to be an awfully fine ball player when he gets a little more experience. . . Not that he isn't good now. . . John Burge has a sore elbow. . . Here's the Big Six standing to date:
| | w | I | pct. |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Missouri | 4 | 1 | .007 |
| Oklahoma | 3 | 1 | .750 |
| Kansas State | 4 | 1 | .271 |
| Kentucky | 3 | 4 | .400 |
| Iowa State | 2 | 4 | .323 |
| Nebraska | 2 | 4 | .000 |
Every team in the league is winning at home . . . just like the basketball fight . . . Oklahoma has won the game. They best the Aggies in Manhattan . . .
Henderson Takes Alabama Job
Dr. Lyman Henderson of the University department of entomology this week received an appointment to a position at Florals, Ala., where he will be engaged in the study of the life history and control of the white fringed tarantula that is found in the United States for the first time 5 years ago, is a native of South America.
- Bird and Masoner Will Not Make Trip; Teams Are Well Matched and No One Reigns As Outstanding Favorite To Take the Triangular Meeting
By Larry Winn, c'40
The next track meet for the injury ridden Jayhawkers is the annual triangular affair between Kansas State, Nebraska and Kansas. The meet will be held Saturday in Manhattan.
Count on Harris
Coach Bill Hargiss said that his team will be weakened by the loss of injured men. Kansas and the Aggies have both defeated Nebraska in dual meets this season but a triangular meet is scored differently, so a victory for any of the schools would not be a surprise.
Ray Harris, Jayhawker ae distance man, will be one of the strong competitors for Kansas, when he runs in the mile and half-
mile runs. Harris ran a mile 4:15 mile at the Drake Relays on the Kansas distance medley relay team. Harris also ran the half-mile in 1.54.
It is doubtful that Hargiss will take Don Bird, veteran pole vaulter, because of an injury received in the
Harris' Foe--will be narrowed down to twelve who will compete for the championship of the University. Davidson McMaughan, Cobbery, and Repiplone have already reached the playoffs and the other places will be determined by matched between Carr vs. Voran; Galloway vs. Hansen; Ssisn et al.; Wood; Robinson vs. Kuekes; M-Taggart vs. Young; Lumbercker vs.
CHARLES MITCHELL - TWO MILE
Kansas State midle distance star who will vie with Jay-hawker Ray Harris in the mile run Saturday.
Kansas Relays. Bird injured his ankle on his last attempt to clear 14 feet 2 inches in the Kansas Relays. He has been out for practice but has done little vaulting. Bill Beven, the other Kansas vaulter has been showing some fine style and Hargis believes that Bill will place high in the Manhattan meet. Beven will also throw the javelin.
Paul Masson, dash man and high hurdler, will not go the triangular tilt because of a pulled leg muscle in the thigh. Masson has decided to wait a little longer before he tries his leg out again.
In the high jump, Kansas is rated as favorites with Bob Stolland. Big Six indoor high jump champion, leading the parade. Stolland has been jumping well above 6 feet in his competitive meets. Bob Lorenzon is another jumper who might place at Manhattan.
Stoland a Favorite
Although he is having trouble with a stiff neck, Chester Frieland, Kansas weight will compete. He will find plenty of competition Saturday when he runs up against Elmer Hackney, Wildcat shot putter and Bob Mills and Eslal Wibbels of Nebraska. Hackney put the iron ball over 54 feet last week at the Colorado Relays.
Wibbels and Malls will again be favorites in the discuss throw. Wibbels broke the Drake Relays record with 86 feet 3-12 inches. She plattered *88 feet* 3-12 inches.
Favor Nebraska in Discus
Students To Give Clinical Exams
Fen Durand, former Big Six javelin champion will be the favorite in the spear throwing contest. Durand has an injured elbow but he placed second and there is no if his arm is alright, he should have little trouble in the javelin.
Softball Loop Into Final Lap
Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor of education, and seven graduate students will leave for Winfield Sunday where they will remain a week at the State Training school. There they will give clinical examinations to the feeble-minded.
- Definite Favorites To Appear; Horseshoes and Handball Progressing
As far as University intramurals are concerned the rest of this week will be the proverbial lull before the storm or the lull before the proverbial storm.
By Clint Wood, c'40
Most of the minor sports enthusiasts are centering their attention around the softball games which are being played every week night except for Sunday, fields south of the Hill. Teams have played half of their games and definite favorites have been established in each of three divisions. Namely, Sigma Nu, Delta Tau Delta, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Opsis Upsilon, Beta Theta Pl, Pi Kappa Delta, Alcesa, and the Nighthawks.
Horsehiders To Nebraska Tomorrow
Each week night finds horse-shoe
team and single players tossing the
sock ball. The team chooses the
shoe pits. Team matches are pro-
gressing and by Friday the singles
These teams have completed the first half of their schedule and are gathering all their strength and endgame to push 'aover the top' into the playoffs.
★ Kansas Will Attempt
To Get Back on Winning

Dugan May Go Chance

After receiving a jolt from the Oklahoma Sooners to the title of two defeats, the Kansas baseball squad will continue their Big Six baseball conquer when they embark for Lincoln in the morning where they are scheduled to cross hats with the tomorrow or Saturday afternoon.
Thus far the seasons for the Jay- hawkers stand at two wins and three losses. The Kanans have lost once to K-State and the pair to Oilahoma. The two victories were at the expense of the Iowa State Cyclones
Fans shouldn't be so downhearted about the two games the locals dropped at Norman this week. In the first game when they were white-washed 7-0, the Jayhawkers were hitting the ball plenty hard as evidenced by the eleven of the Kansas players fell victims to a spike from the end line. Jayhawkers seemed to be stymied by bad luck. The Kansan's outfit and outfielded the Sooners but a couple of bad breaks cost them the game.
Cliff Brass, who pitched the second game for Kansas, had home-rue trouble. All five of the runs Brass almed were the result of four-base blows.
"Red" Dugan who relieved Burge Monday appeared to have the stuff necessary to silence the Oklahoma bats. When the season started Dugan was not shaded for a starting position but it now looks as though he might get one of the starting assignments at Lincoln this weekend.
The Cornhuskers then far have had a very mediocre season. Against Carl May at Missouri recently they lost to the Tigers 6-0, hit when they last to the Tigers 6-0.
Filling the shoes of Glenn Cunningham is a monumental task, butRay Harris, a new Jayhawk milier, is on his way to the Kansas track team this year.
Ray Harris Is Filling Cunningham's Shoes
Ever since Cunningham graduated from the University in 1934, the search has been for a Jayhawk runner who would be a star at 880 yards, one mile and two miles. "Another Cunningham" was to a certain extent what Kansas fans were awaiting.
Another Cunningham?
Harris has yet to prove that he is "another Cunningham," but he has shown definite possibilities in that direction. In his first year of varsity competition, he has already proved that he is second only to Cunningham in the history of Kansas distance runners.
Last fall Harris ran in the Big Six two mile race at Columbia and although he finished second to John Munski of Missouri, he ran the fastest two miles ever run by a Jayhawk track man. 9:28.
At the Drake Relays last week, Ray made the best marks of his career in the half mile and mile. He was 169 for the mile and 1.54 for his 880.
Harris came to the University from a junior college, so that he will have only one more year of competition and be able to prove he will be brought along as rapidly possible, so that he may reach his peak before his competition is over.
4:15 Mile Hits Best
In this, his first season of competition, Ray has consistently run the mile under 4.20. Late in the indoor season and at the start of the out- Gray; Dickey vs. Tweed; and Mc- Goody vs. Huller.
Intramural handball has advanced further than any other minor sport with playoffs scheduled as follows: Hight, K Sig vs. Healy, P; Gam, McKinley, P; Delt vs. Radford, Berg; Sifers, P; Delt vs. Baumhardt, D; Dominos, MMcNaughten, P; Psi, Hansen, K; Sig, Ewers, Sig Alph vs. Weinecke, Beta; Hadson, G; Domines vs. Ritchie, P; Gam, Poje, G; Domines vs. Murphy, Beta, and Hellings, P; Delt vs. Clover, K Sig

door season, he compiled a string of three consecutive 4:18 miles. He then ran 4:17 at the Kansas Relays and 4:15 at Drake.
At the conference indoor meet this winter, Hunter ran second to Munski in the mile run, but got revenge for this by finishing about twice as far ahead of the Tiger star in the two mile run later on in the program. Harris was second in that race and Munski third.
The six-foot Tarris looks skinny in his running tots, but weighs 145 pounds, which is considerable weight as present day middle distance runners go. One hundred and twenty miles a day, he runs in distance running circles now.
Harris attended Trenton, Mo, high school, where he ran with fair success, and then went to Trenton Junior College.
