Bird, Stoland and Harris Carry Jayhawker Hopes In Relays Here Saturday
BELL-owings by JIM BELL Kansas Sports Editor
on the cinder paths and in the greenward enclosure of the Kansas Memorial stadium Saturday will appear some of the greatest collegiate athletes of the decade. These men, champions from the nation's leading conferences, will compete in the 17th annual Kansas Relays. It is the culmination of a weeklong review the achievements of the cream of this very creamy crop.
Considered to be a cinct in the broad jump in Texas U's Jud Atchison. This will be Jud's third Kansas Relays. In his previous attempts for the coveted championship he has been stymied by bad luck and a boy from Minnesota named Hubbard. His best jump of 24 feet, 9 inches, is far and away the best mark made by any of the entries.
Don Bird, the Kansas boy is as much at home high up in the air as on the ground, will renew his rivalry with Beefus Bryan, Texas vaulter. Bird has been winner or a sharer of the winnings in every one of his conference meets during his three years of competition. He won the pole vault in the 1957 Relays but was beaten by Bryan last year. He was beaten by Siskin in the 13 feet 7-4-1 inches this year. He tied for first with Bryan at the Texas Relays with a jump of slightly over 13 feet, 9 inches.
In spite of the high flying Bird, the reigning favorite in the pole vault will be Beefus Bryan of Texas. Beefus has the best mark of the entries. He has soared 14 feet 1 inch this spring. Bryan will be out for revenge when the Longhorns come to Lawrence. He wants to beat Baird not only because of the intense play, but also he will be trying to revenge the defeat the Texas football team suffered in Lawrence last fall. Bryan was a halftack on the team which lost to Kansas 19-20.
Feature attraction of the Relays will be Glen Cunningham, Kansas' king of the milers. For eight long years, Glen has reign supreme on the boards and cinders of the track world. He is by far the greatest man in track today. Many Jay-hawker fans believe that Cunningham is the greatest athlete that Kansas ever produced.
Glemm's closest rival is "Chuck" Fenske of Wisconsin. Fenske is unanimously considered to be the number two miler of the nation. He has taken plenty of beatings from the Kansas King, but started his revenge campaign at the close of the indoor season when he took Glemm's measure in the Columbia and Bakersfield. He bested him last year. He set this man against Armour Relays last year. This is only a little over three seconds slower than Cunningham's 4:044 made at Dartmouth last winter.
The number one man in the high jump is Kansas 'Cinderella Man' Bob Stoland, who in his first varsity meet, became the Big Six high jump champion, Bob is a new man this year. Bill Barglir, Jayhawker coach, predicts that Stoland will make a great dartman man in the future. His best jump has been 6 feet 5 in. He won the Texas Relays with that leap. He is also entered in the broad jump.
- Wet Weather and Soggy Track Hampers Kansans in Workouts; Other Hopefuls Include Cox, Masoner, Friedland, Durand, Klann, Heckendorn and Graves as Final Preparations Start
By Larry Winn, c'41
Because of bad weather and soggy cinders, the Kansas track team has been confined to practice on the indoor track. Coach Hargiss reports that his team needs outdoor practice badly.
All ardent sports followers are hoping that the weather which has put a cramp in the style of all Kansas sports this week, will turn out better for the Kansas Relays Friday and Saturday. If the rain stops by Wednesday and the sun comes out, the track should be in fairly good shape and that is what it takes to break records.
Kansas Enters 26
Coach Bill Hargis, Kansas mentor, has entered 26 men in the Relays. This year Kansas has one ofthe strong teams entered.

Bird will furnish the main competition for Beefus Bryan of Texas, in the pole vault. Bryan beat Bird here last year in the pole vault but Bird had a dislocated elbow at the time. Bird tied the southern boy at the Texas Relays although neither turned in their best performance.

jump. He will enter the meet as the favorite in the high jump. Stoland won this event in the Texas Relays by Jumping 6 feet 5 inches.
Two Jayhawker distance runners will carry part of the load in the distance relay. Ray Harris and Ernie Klaim will run the mile run and three-quarter runs in this event. Chet Cox and Dale Heckenwander will run the other two positions on this team.
Friedland in Weights
Chet Friedland, veteran Kansas weight man, will find tough competition in Elmer Hackney, of Kansas State, who is rated as favorite in the shot put. Friedland will also enter the discus throw.
Paul Mason will carry a load of Kansas hope in the high hurdles and dashes. He is also entered on the sprint relay team. Mason is the Big Six indoor low hurdles champion but there are no low sticks on the Relays program, so "Mase" will enter the highs.
In the javelin throw, Kansas will rely on Fen Durand to bring home the bacon. Fen has been out with an injured elbow although he did win that event in the Kansas-Nebraska dual meet. Gilliam Graham, Texas ace, will be rated as favorite in the spear-throwing contest.
- Rain Again Stops Tilt Scheduled at Baldwin; Rockhurst Here Next
Kansas-Baker Game Posponed
Once again the weather man refused to let the Kansas baseball team go into action when he soaked the diamond today at Baldwin and stopped the scheduled Jayhawker-Baker contest.
At least four times in the last week and a half the Crimson and Blue horseshiders have been rained out. On April 10 they were supposed to meet Rockhurst in the season opener. This game was called and two attempts were made to play it on following days.
The team finally got to play a game Friday at Manhattan when they dropped the conference opener to Kansas State 4-12. The second game, to have been played Saturday, was called because of a down pour.
The Conger men will make their next attempt to play baseball will be against Rockhurst here next Tuesday.
Javelin Star---school quarter-miler. The class B champ turned in a 50.4 quarter for his fastest time in the open 440 last year.

Henry answered questions concerning individual stars, feature events and expectations asked by Jim Bell, Kansas sports editor; Nelson Sullivan, president of the "KC" team of the football squad and Horace Mason, director of athletic publicity.

Nine State Champions In High School Meet
NOTICE
All "K" men who would like to see "The Drumknack" should get in touch with Loren Florell immediately.
Five Class A state champions and four class B champions will head the list of entrants in the thirty-fifth annual University interscholastic track and field meet Saturday.
NELSON SULLIVAN,
President of "K" Club
We needed a "hat ad"
So we let three men
write it--school quarter-miler. The class B champ turned in a 50.4 quarter for his fastest time in the open 440 last year.
Class A winners from the state meet at Emporia last year are Clarence Amos, Fredonia, 440-yard dash; Jack Bellman, Argentine, Mile run; Willmar Bledsoe, Great Bend, bend jump; Winnipeg Rogers, Independence, high jump; and Milo Farnetti, Pittsburg, javelin throw.
The state class B champions who will be in action at Lawrence include Sam Butterfield, Overbrook, 440-yard dash; Gilbert Dodge, Dighton, 200-yard low hurdles; Fred Bowen, Piedmont, broad jump; and Charles Guy, Leon, pole vault.

440 Champ Back
Next case, an attorney—liked style with dignity. Lack of detail, very nice, but it's in latin and we can't read it.
Amos跑到 the state championship in the 440 last spring in the sizzling time of 45.2 seconds. He won his section of the quarter mile easily here last year and should do so again Friday.

The third man wouldn't give his name, so it might be you. He said, "they're the best hats in 'winter' and we've not going to argue with him.
Butterfield also is a brilliant prep
Step in tomorrow and get your hat---school quarter-miler. The class B champ turned in a 50.4 quarter for his fastest time in the open 440 last year.
The other event in which both classes boast state champions is the broad jump. Bledsoe, husky Great Bend football star, leaped 22 feet, 3 inches for his best mark during the 1938 season.
Bowen did not quite reach 22 feet last year, but was the broad jump winner in virtually every class B meet in which he competed. Like all of the other champions, he is a senior this year.

Dodge, Dighton's lone entry in the meet, is probably the best high school hurdler in the state this year. Dodge won the low hurdles in class B last year and is equally good in the high hurdles this season.
