will be on third base, Hall at first
and Cadwalader in the outfield some-

Most people will go to the Kansas Relays principally to see the Cunningham-Fenske dued in the Special Mile, but we're going especially to see that pole vaulting contest between "feestus" Bryan of Texas, Jayhawker Don Bird, and Ed Thistlethwaite of Northwestern. It promises to be the best vaulting contest ever held in the Middle West. This section of the country has never produced any real vaulters until recently. Vaulters have always come from the Pacific coast and the western mountains. The tree ladsmen informed me above out to prove that you don't have to live near the big ponds to get up in the sea gull's territory. Bryan has jumped 14 feet 1 inch this year. This thistlethwaite has cleared 13 feet 11 inches and Bird has been up around 14 feet.
Spring basketball is just around the corner. The Jayhawkers will go back into action on April 23 $^{**}$
BRUCE VORAN
outlook for next year is bright to say the least. What coach wouldn't be happy to look up at Spring practice as Ralph Miller, Howard Engleman, Bob Allen, Bruce Voran, Johnnie Kline, Dick Harp and
mg at him. This year Allen's队 were formed around a group of brilliant sophomores who had lots of ability and no college experience. Next year these sophomores will be back with a years experience under the guidance of their teachers imbibed and improved by the coaching of Dr. Forrest C, "Phog" Allen.
And speaking of Spring practices, Jim Raport tells us that the swimming team is going back into training next week. The Kansas splashers had one of the most successful seasons in their short history this year. The team started slowly and drove to a last finish showing a tremendous improvement. For the first time in the school's history there was a freshman squad. This year they would play and push, and gave the varsity a run for its money in their meet. Raport will meet candidates for next year's squad Monday afternoon at 4:30 in the "KC Club room.
Out of the Ole Sports Basketball: Bill Hargiss is working Bob Stoland and J. R. Jones in high hurdles. . . Both of these ladies are potential decathlon men ... Hargiss says that Stoland will make a great decathlon man if he can handle the shot and discuss. . . Ray Harris ran the first mile of a mile and a half in 4.27 the other day. . . Dick Overfield looks every inch the fine spinner that he is. . . Chet Friedland spent most of his workwatch watching Bert Brand and his coach Jim Carroll. Campus females for the next issue of the "Sour Owl" (you're welcome for the plug). Harry Wiles, last year track captain, was watching freshmen skip over the hurdles with an envious eye. . . Mike Shilamick was tearing 'em apart in a short football scrimmage. . . Big Jim Hallway looked good. . . Though it has been said that the weakness of the Kansas team next year will be it's line, we can't see it that way. . . Henry has improved the play of the Jay-hawker linenen 100 per cent this Spring. . . They look like an entirely new team report, practice six week ago. It seems to this corner that the thing Henry and company has to worry about next year in keeping backs in shape. . Let them start praying that Ralph Miller and Dicker Amerine will stay off of the hospital list in the crucial games.
John Burge Is Starting Pitcher for Jayhawkers
By Clavelle Holden, c'40
With Coach Conger maintaining the weather man is a crosseyed monster or a Missouri graduate, the chances of the Jays hawkers opening their baseball season with a game at Manhattan with the Wildcats this afternoon are slimmer than a co-ed's waist
This will be the third time this year that Kansas will attempt to display its ability on the diamond. Two games with Rockhurst earlier this week were called off because of weather. The schedule calls for another game be-
This will be the third time this to display its ability on the diamond earlier this week were called off bule calls for another game between the state schools tomorrow afternoon weather permitting.
In the event the Oread boys do exchange their mittens for baseball gloves, they should give K-state a busy afternoon.
Many New Men
New men will dominate the starting Kansas line-up. Hall, first base, Paris, second base, Bukaty, third base, Hensley and Sands, outfield, and Burge, pitcher, all are sophora positions on the first team. Two veterans and one junior will complete the starting line-up. Les Kappelman and Pat Holcum will be starting at shortstop and left field respectively for the third consecutive year. Elmer Pierce will play player working behind the plate
will be the only second year man on the team.

If the weather man wipes that dirty smirk off his face and allows the boys to play, they and tomorrow, the Kansas coach plans to start either Cliff
Brass or Red DUI JOKK-BURSE gan, letterman hurlers, on the mound.
Jim Brock on Mound
Coach Owen "Chill!" Cochrane has a team that is potentially one of the best in the Big Six this year. Jim Brock, who set the Sooners on back for their heels last week without any trouble, appears to be the outstanding moundman in the circuit. If the Angies can polish up their defense so that when they catch it they won't take a bite of the "ole applause" they throw it to go for. In the two league games so far this year, the K-State team has averaged six errors per game.
In "Butch Nieman and Ernie Miller, Cochran have two first year men that formerly starred in the Ban Johnson leagues. These men that should make most of the pitchers for an aspirin early in the game.
Today's game is called for 4 o'clock with the tilt tomorrow scheduled to begin at 2.

Todd Is Favorite In Decathlon
He is E. Lee Todd, unattached entrant from Imperial, Neb, who finished third last year, with the impressive total of 6000 points. It was Todt's first try at the decathlon and he entered the 10-event contest.
A total "unknown" of last year will be this year's favorite in the decathlon at the Kansas Relays, April 21 and 22.
First and second place winners last year, Dick Kearns of Colorado and Claude Kilday of Occidental, graduated from college last spring and will be unable to get away from their present positions long enough to compete in the decathlon this year. Consequently Todd is the leading place winner of last year back.
However, the first day of the decathlon saw him finishing in fourth place and in the final events the next day, he moved up into third place. Todd won the javelin throw, tied for first in the high jump and finished second in the 1500 meter run.
McQuinn Suffers Serious Injury
McQuinn joins Dick Amerine, wing-footed halfback and John Fluker, 200 pound freshman guard, who were injured early in spring practice in the "out for the season" list. Amerine suffered a "knoacked down" shoulder while Fluker received a broken leg.
Injury struck again in the Jay-hawker football camp last night. This time it was little Verdun McQuinn, mighty triple threat tieup from Butler, Mo., who suffered a ruptured kidney in scrimmage.
NOW IT'S--- CARLS
★ Freshman Back Is Out
For Season; May Not
Play Next Year
McQuinn's condition was fairly serious last night, but doctors said that he was improved this morning. The injury would probably not have occurred, doctors explained, if the same kidney had not been ruptured during the operation. It is doubtful whether he will be able to play next season.
MeQuinn, a freshman, was a fine prospect and had been receiving much attention in spring drill. Although kicker and ball carrier of ability, the black haired back was 'most valuable for his passing.

★ Big Six Champs Take Five of Six Matches For 10%-7½ Victory; Captain Bauer Wins
By Maurice Jackson, c'41 Oklahoma. Big Six champion and runnerup in the national intercollegiate golf meet, defeated the University of Kansas golf team yesterday by a score of $10\%$ to $7\%$. This was Kansaw's first Big Six golf match. Kansas was leading four points at the end of the first nine holes, but Oklahoma put on a final drive that cinched the Kansas team to win his individual match.
The next match for the Jayhawks is Saturday, when the University of Wichita will be the opponent. In addition to golf the two schools will also match their abilities in tennis. The Kansas teams team will consist of Rulph Sinning, acting captain; Kermit Franks, George Murphy, and Howard Engleman. Engleman is the number one man on the team
Grid Squad In Scrimmage
Kansas grid stalwarts were divided into two squads last night and went through a light signal drill and scrimage in preparation for to-night's clash under regular game conditions.
Kansas Relays Will Bring Thousands to Mt. Oread
The Jayhawker coaches lined up a blue team and a red team and sent them through their paces to get an upper hand. They will shape up tonight in scrimmage.
The red team included Naramore at center, Crowell and Sihianick at guards, Merkle and Jacka at tackles, Renko and Ulrich at end, and D. Gibbens, Gray, McQuinn, and Vandever in the backfield. The blue line included Pierce at center, Hartman and Massare at guard, Jack and Lenhart, at tackles, Dalyimple and Clerny at ends and in the backfield Bunsen, C. Gibbens, Sullivant, and Sugee.

When the flag is raised to start a week-end of fine foot races and showing of superb strength, it will mark the opening of the seventeenth annual Kansas Relays. The date for this famous carnival is April 21 and 22.
From near and far, athletes will travel toward a little mound in the state of Kansas called M. Ored. Social fraternities will entertain visitors while smaller fraternities will be trying to get their guests dates on this busy week-end.
Many famous track men will be on hand to participate in these nationally-recognized games. A throng of people will crowd the Memorial Stadium to see the "much-publicized" race between Glenn Cunningham and Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin. Fenske defeated Cunningham in the last two major races of the indoor season this year. Glenn will be out to average these two setbacks when he meets Fenske here.
Wolcott A Star
Fred Wolcott of Rise, one of the greatest hurdlers of track and field history, will be out to break his own record in the high hurdles. Wolcott,
Mutual Will Air Special Mile
The running of the two mile university relay and the university spring medley relay also will be described on the broadcast, which will begin at 2:45 Saturday afternoon and will last until 3:15.
Radio station WHB of Kansas City will originate the broadcast for Mutual of the special mile which will feature America's two premiere millems, Gilm Cunningham and "Chuck" Fenske.
who has never been beaten outdoors,
set a Ribalds record of 14.2 seconds last year. He has run the same race in 13.9 seconds.
The pole vault will include three likely record breakers in "Beebuf" Bryan of Texas, of Kansas, and Ed Thistlewhite of Northwestern. Bryan holds the Relsa record of 13 feet 11-34 inches, a mark which he established last year. Already this season he has cleared 14 feet, more than once. Bird, Big Six champion, set a record of 13 feet 7-14 inches at the conference indoor meet this winter and Coach "Bill" Hargiss is expecting Bird to go higher than 14 feet outdoors. Thistlewhite was expected to reach 11 inches in the Big Ten indoor meet.
Dicus Record Doped
Discus Record Doomed
The record in the discuss throw a 154 feet which was set by J. C. Petty of Rice in 1935 apparently is doomed. Most likely to break Petty's record is Ed Wibbels, Nebraska sophomore, who set a national high school record in the discuss of 154 feet 9 inches two years ago.
Gilliam Graham, Texas javelin thrower, is favored to win his event for the second straight year. Last year, he took first with a throw of 212 feet 5 inches and already he threw the spear close to 212 feet.
Jud Atheison and Jack Hughes are Texas who will be striving to win their first Kansas Relays championship. Atheison, a fine broad jumper, will win that event and Hughes will be a strong entrant in the discus.
Men's Intramurals By Clint Wood, c'40
The University Intramural softball season opened with a barrage of base hits, walks, errors, and interesting games as the Phi Gam's, Acacia, Phi Alpha Delta, and Galloping Dominios II defeated Sigma Alpha's, Alpha Kappa Fai, Theta Tau, and Phi Delta Theta.
Mitchell, Phi Gam pitcher, turned in the best performance of the day when he let the Sig Alph's down without a hit and shut them out 4 to 0. Mitchell walked two batters in the first inning and one in the second and then retired the last 17 batters in order.
A home run by Bob Smith broke a 7 to 7 last inning deadlock between Acacia and Alpha Kappa Psi. Smith, Acacia left fielder, came to bat with one out, his team one run behind, and a runner on third. He hit the first ball pitched far over the left wing with the winning run, Nichols pitched for Acacia and Hofson was on the mound for Alpha Kappa Psi.
Phi Alpha Delta sluggled its way to a 12 to 9 victory over Theta Tau. The lawyers made five runs in the second inning but Theta Tau came back with six in the third. Then the lawyers scored in the fourth, and as a final measure the game on ice. Kimbali did the hurling for Phi Alpha Delta while Barnett was on the mount for Theta Tau.
Hitting in the pinches and the shutout pitching of Woods, gave the Galloping Dominoes II a 6 to 0 victory over Phi Delta Theta.
To any Pachacamac who can satisfactorily explain to the student body why the Pachacamac Men's Student Council failed to fulfill its campaign platform of last year.
