Political Brawl
(Continued from page one)
Henry Werner, adviser to men,
came back to the Memorial Union
building shortly after 11:30 last night
and called the politicians together
in the east center of the lobby. He
delivered the following message to
them:
"This building was dedicated to those University men who fell in the World war. It was built as a memory to their tribute.
"When gentlemen enter this building they remove their hats." (About 15 men removed their hats without stirring from their place.) Werner looked about the group and continued. "Thank you, gentleman. I am glad to see that you men perceive what I mean.
"Undoubtedly most of you politicians have witnessed the disgraceful affair that occurred tonight in this building. When politics on this campus leads to suspicion and distrust, causes enemies and fights, then something is rotten in Denmark and with politeness it becomes Suspicious and distrust is displayed every time a man casts his ballot.
"What happened here tonight is probably one of the most disregareful things that could happen in any memorial building in the United States."
"Politics on this campus is of the type that breeds warlens. I trust that some of you will see fit to clean it up. I will be forced to do so, if it is the last thing I do on this campus.
"I am telling you men again, that even if I have to act as a committee of one, I shall see that politics on this campus are changed.
"Do I make myself clear? Is there anyone here who does not understand what I mean? If so will he please raise his hand." No one
"Then I take it that I have made myself perfectly clear. Thank you, gentlemen."
- University, College, Junior College, and High School Participants Number 3,500 as Seventeenth Annual Event Gets Under Way at 2 O clock Saturday Afternoon
By Don Pierce, c'41
College and University track stars will take over the stage at 2 o'clock tomorrow to begin their perennial record breaking assaults on the various events as the seventeenth annual Kansas Relays gets into full swing.
With a record number of 3,500 high school and college athletes entered it looks like the greatest Relays ever held, and with any charity from the weather man, nearly every record will be in danger.
Chief among those who are most apt to crack present Relay marks are Fred Wolcott, phenomenal Rice hurling star;
Mozelle Ellerbee, Tuskegee negro flash, and Wilbur Greer, Michigan State's bullet, both fine printers; Elm Hackney, giant shot-putter from Kansas State; Forest Ewaw, Oklahoma A. & M distance runner; Edsell Wibbels, Nebraska disc thrower; John Munski, Missouri's fine miler; and "Beefus" Bryan of Texas and K. U.'s own Don Bird, top ranking pole vaulters.
The high school battle this afternoon will probably center around Topeka, defending Relays champion and Wichita East in class A and Kiowa, defending champion in class B, and Mount Hope. Topeka has shown well in dual meets so far this season. Topeka is currentlyency by copying the Anthony and Sterling relays. Mount Hope won these meets in the class B meet.
East is depending upon all-around strength and speedy relay teams to bring home a victory while the capital city aggregation is place on the playing field in warriors in the dashes, hurdles, mile run, b jump, and javelin throw.
Mount Hope is depending on Dick Givens, wing-footed dash men and their 880 relay team to clinch victory.
Aside from the relays proper, interest will center around the special mile run between Kansas' most famous athlete, Glenn Cummingham, and "Chuck" Fenks. Wisconsin ace. Another outside event that always brings such promise is be great battle this year is the decathlon, of which the first five events will be held this afternoon.
E. Lee Todd, who captured third place last year, is considered the favorite but on as many unknown names are on the Decathlon list this year it is a good chance for an upset. He won last year's winner when last year's winner, Dick Kearns of Colorado, and runner-up, Claude Kilday of Occidental, failed
After Relays Record
ELMER HACKNEY
An interesting feature of the college competition will be the annu clash between the crack negro-studded teams of Emporia and Pittsburg teachers which is practically a dual meet in itself.
WREN To Broadcast Relays
Radio Station WREN has announced that it will broadcast the seventeenth annual Kansas Relays tomorrow afternoon starting at 1:45 o'clock.
to enter. Todd will compete unattached.
As track and field athletes compete in their favorite events tomorrow at the seventeenth annual Kansas Relays in the University Memorial stadium, they will have more in mind than merely winning the event in which they are participating.
Many Relay Participants Have Eyes On Olympics
Standout trackmen from many conferences will be here. Representatives from 19 universities, 29 colleges, and 13 junior colleges will be on the field and each of them has hopes of achieving fame tomorrow. Out of 3,500 participants, how many will see the realization of their desired dreams? On Monday, November 6, our meet will be of tremendous importance to each competitor and full of thrills for the spectators.
Elmer Hackney, Kansas State's "One-Man-Gang," is already considered a likely Olympic candidate for a berth in the shutout and has an excellent chance of breaking the Relays record tomorrow. Hackney has competed in six meets this year and in five of them he succeeded in bettering the previous record. At the Texas Relays, this year, he made his best mark with a heave of 52 feet 3 inches. The consistency with which he has been hitting above the 52 mark seems to cast a shadow of doom of the Kansas Relays existing record of 51 feet 6 inches.
Glenn Cunningham and Chuck Fenske are undoubtedly two of the United States' best milers. However Long John Munkis of Missouri cannot be counted, out the Blaine and Wayne Rideout, Texas twins, are capable of springing an upset. It would not be surprising to see several milers who will compete tomorrow sail for Finland with the United States Track and Field team for the Olympics in 1940.
Many of these co-editors have their eyes fastened longingly upon the 1940 Olympics and are hoping to make such good shopping here at the Relays that they will be considered for a place upon the University's athletic teams. Athletes from all parts of the United States are competing and many of their hopes will be shattered but there is a chance that some of them will come through with performances so noteworthy that they will win the chance of a lifetime and be among the Olympic tryouts next spring.
Most of the other participants who have any chances are entered in the field events. Missouri's lefthanded javelin thrower, Bob Waldham, has been hitting the 215 mark and Gilliam Graham, Texas, has
