Big Six Baseball Race Gets Started Tomorrow With Sooner-Aggie Tilt
BELL-owings by JIM BELL Kansas Sports Editor
Blow up No. 11: Kansas' own "Two Ton Tony" is Monte John Merkel of Chicago, Ill. Monte stands a full two
inches short of six feet and yet he tips the scales at around 235 pounds without the aid of a heavy bath towel. Gwin Herry describes him as being an immovable tackle. It's not hard to see.
his point, Mr. M, got his prep training at St. John's Military Academy in Wisconsin. How the Big Ten schools missed him, we'll never know. This we do know, we'd rather do almost anything than play 60 minutes of football against him. The bigger question is how he hwineer line, he will probably have one of the starting tackle berths on next year's squad.
It seems to us that the independent intramural teams are making the fraternity boys look sort of silly these days. The Galloping Dominoes are taking the swimming meet in a walk and no one touched the Ghosts in the basketball tourney. This is not hard to understand. The independent teams have so much more material to pick their teams from. A fraternity must build its team from a group of around 50 boys.
Glancing over a press release from Horace Mason's efficient bureau, we discovered several things about the high school Relays you might like to know. Topeka, you will remember, is the defending champion in class A. If it successfully defends its title, it will be the first time since 1929 the trick has been done. In that year Wichita won the championship for the fifth time in a row. Since then no one has been able to repeat two years in a row. The Class B team won its second title in a row and before them Alma rang the bell twice. Both Toplea and Kiowa will send strong teams to Lawrence this year. Can Toplea break the class A jinx and Willki take the title for the third year in a row? If you want to know the answer, be in the Kansas memorial stadium April 21.
How to make an all-Americans:
Take one man who stands a little over six feet in the air and weighs around 190 pounds. Give this man the following talents: Milt Sullivan's blocking, Bill Bunsen's line smashing ability, Dik Amerineer's broken foot running, Ralph Miller's knee brace, Frank Bulaky's kicking, and Frank Bulaky's kicking. Mix well. Add a dash of high powered publicity and you have your all-American.
Hit and Miss; Harold Keith at Oklahoma tells us that Bruce Drake, the Snooner cage menter has decided that his team will be more conservative in its ball handling next year and will break fast only when it has the bブル on the foe . . . We see Mr. Francisco, his brother in France . . . The Sooners are playing for a game with Oregon in Norman next year . . . Jim Henderson from Iowa State reports that Coach Yeager is working overtime trying to build a line for next year's grid campaign . . . There seems to be a death of hockey at Ames . . . The Snooner faces his rivalry day Friday when the Aggies from Manhattan tangle with Oklahoma.
Harold Stover, the coach of the Clearwater track team which won the race to be the first high school squad to file their entry to the Kansas Relays, is an old Maryville coach. It was Harold who started Sylvester Rodriguez, co-captain of his basketball team, on his basketball career.
Intramural notes: Among the mural baseball players who are limbring their arms and sharpening their batting eyes are prominent basketball players . . . Bruce Vorn
Crooks, Jason Kidd, and Don Ebling are working for the Sig Alphs, Bill Hobgen is a Beta standby while L. Corlis and Loven Florle play for Sig Eg . . . Ralph Miller and Bobbie Allen will be out there pitching for the Phi Pals . . . Watch the defense in the small league . . . This column is picking them as the pre-season favorites . . .

★ Oklahoma Points to Third Major Conference Title of Year; 'Chili' Cochrane, Kansas State Coach May Have to Pitch Jim Brock in Both Games at Manhattan
King Baseball will step up to the plate tomorrow and take its initial swing, as the 1939 Big Six horseride race gets under way with the Sooners battling Kansas State at Manhattan in an attempt to capture their third major conference sport title. Thus ar the Norman school has won the grid crown and shared court honors with Missouri.
Authorities at the Aggie school are still keeping their fingers crossed as they keep one eye on the sun and the other on the barometer. The Sooners don't know whether to grab a bat or make a run for the club house. Weather permitting the two schools will renew their battle Saturday afternoon.
In the event the weather Gods frown the games will be postponed. A limited traveling expense account was set up to back in for a return engagement.
The game will be a revelation to both coaches as to the strength of their hurling departments. Both had their pitching staff depleted by graduation and have to rely on men. Brook Piitches for Angeles
Angie Coch Cochrane has slated Jim Brock, 200 pound football backing, to take the slab for the next challenge. The ididate develops suddenly Cochrane
Owen (Chili) Cochrane
will use Brock again for the Saturday engagement. And there lies the main weakness at Manhattan From present indications it appears that the K-Staters will have only one grade starting pitch to call to.
Tossing from the mound for the Soomers will be "Left" Morris or Jimmy Pope. Coach "Jap" Haskell has six newborns on the traveling team that he to get a line on before they return to their home port next Thursday.
Sooners To Texas
The Sooners will cross bats with Baylor at Waco Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday the Norman squad will meet the Tigers at Austin, who are defending champions in the South-west conference.
For the past two years Oklahoma has been runner-up to Missouri in the Big Six. Most experts believe Haskell has had better teams than the Tigers although they have lost to them the past two seasons. Baseball is of the major sports at Norman and "Jap" beats the bushes the best of the professional scouts looking for promising players.

Burly Athletes Will Try Hands At the 'Drama'
★ K' Club Will Present
The Drunkard 'With Cast
Which Sounds Like the
Starting Line-Up
By Nelson Sullivan, c40 President of the 'K' Club
"The Drunkard" or the "Fallen Saved," a play that has been running for seven years in California and run for several years on Broadway, attempted by the members of the K-Club on April 18, 19, 20, and 21.
It is hoped that with this production's showing in other states that the organization will make at least enough expense money to meet the collectors. This "Drama" will star such outstanding performers of the Jayhawkers as, Ralph Miller, Howard Engleman, Bill Bunsen, Lyman Corlis, Dick Amerine, and Fenlon Durand.
It is rumored that Fred Bosleave has an outstanding chance to cop the villain's role. Monte Merkle, Dan Rhule, Bruce Veran and Bobby Hunt are considered as outstanding terpsichorean material. Bob Allen with his former record as an outstanding matinee idol of high school days will be a favorite to battle for the hero's role.
"Rope" Engleman has been considered to play the "Little Nell" role or one something like that. Ebing, Lindsbord "swing artist" is slated for performance in the K-Club chorus line. Steve Renko has been considered as the bartender, but this will be one role that many will wie for.
None of the cast members have been selected and there is one role that will need filling either by request or draft, namely the half-wister. I am afraid to mention prospects, but there are some.
Not only will the boys be aided by the capable directing of Rolla Nickels but he is to have the able assistance of such members of the Tide, Fowler, Denny Lennon, John Ruth Henry and Darius Johnson.
Dick Bartell, Chicago Cubs' shortstop, is a licensed amateur radio operator.

Many organizations give challenge trophies to the university class only. The Mns Pan Hellenic cup is given for the winner of the half-mile university relay. The team that wins the half-mile college relay receives one leg on the Associated Banks of Lawrence challenge trophy.
The Kansas City Star has always been a firm supporter of the Kansas Relays and donates a cup to the winner of the two-mile university relay. In the two-mile college relay, we find that the K. U. Alumni Association had to replace its cup this year because the Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburgh had won the event three times.
Another interesting race on the program is the 489-yard shuttle hurdle relay in which the winner receives the Sol Marks and Son challenge trophy. The Rowland challenge cup goes to the winner of the one-mile university team race. The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity donate a trophy to the winner of the quar ter-mile university relay.
The Weaver cup is presented to the winner of the Kansas City, Mo. high school relay. This race replaced the medley relay. The team wins the relay. A university distance medley relay will receive the Phi Epsilon cup.
A fine trophy is presented to the winner of the college distance medley relay by the Kansas Relays Club. One of the best races of the Relays is the university sprint medley relay, which was won by Rice Institute last year. The University of Iowa already has two legs on this trophy and they are sending another strong aggregation back this year. The Men's Student Council presents a cup to the winner of this fast event.
The winner of the junior college sprint medley race will receive the Journal-World challenge trophy. The Lowe & Campbell Sporting Team will cup the cup to the college team that finishes first in the one-mile college relay.
Trophies are only given to the winners in the relay races because of the large number of individual events. The question again arises will any team win a Kansas Relay trophy for good this year?
Dr. John Outland, "Father of the KansasRLays," represents a trophy to the winner of the one-mile university race, which out-standings races on the program.

Delta Upshion defeated Sigma Alpha Epsilon 21-16 and 21-12 in the first game of the volleyball finals last night and will attempt to annex the deciding game this afternoon at 5:30. The team lost all four games off, favored the finals by defeating Beta Theta Pi two games to none in the first round and won a hard fought decision from Kappa Sigma, two games to one.
The Sig Alpha turned back Phi Gamma Delta in the first round and then handed Sigma Nu a defeat in the second game. The first game to the D. U's in the finals.
Now that there is a full in the swimming meet, a full before the storm of the finals to be held at 4:30 Monday, much interest is being attached to the finals of the University interscholastic volleyball play-offs.
