Gridsters Work On Passing Drill
★ Henry Strives to Gain Deception by Mixing Pass and Ground Plays
Kansas grid hopefuls spent yesterday's practice session attempting to perfect their passing plays so they couldn't be distinguished from their opponents. Coach Henry has his system in part on deacting the enemy.
Handling and lossing assignments were Bill Bunsen, Eldrid Cadwalader, and Ralph Miller. Although the lines were charging hard and the defensive team was attempting to break up the pass plays caution was used when Miller was back. The sophomore star still has a weak knee and no unnecessary chances will be taken for a while.
One particular set of plays had Bunsen receiving the ball and then either passing or running off tackle. After a pass or two the defense will undoubtedly drop back and then will use the more upright fullback will use the line play.
Henry's beginning to line up definite combinations this week in an effort to secure timing and teamwork on his plays. The Jawhawk mentor is sending his charges through pass and punt scrimimage every night with all attention centered on offense.
One combination included Narnam more at center, Crowell and Sihilan-kir at guards, Holloway and Rhule at tuckles, and Chitwood and shake at ends. In the baselfield was eye, Bausen, Miller, and Amerine.
Blocking and tackling practice are expected to be in order early next week and actual scrimmage will no doubt follow.
A second combination had Turner, who has been switched from last year's guard position to center; Hartman and Kern at guards; Merkle and Burge end up in backfield. The backfield included Hall, Suesch, Bukaty, and Sullivan.
Fluke, promising freshman guard, received the first serious injury of the season Wednesday night when a broken was in a blocking drill.
Practicing Again--stole the show with her comic attempts at diving. Time after time she muffed a dive, only to return to bravely try again. She furnished the hide of amusement and deserved the handside got for her good sportsmanship.

\* Senior Guard Is Unanimous Choice of Squad at Basketball Banquet Given Last Night by Lawrence Co-op Club; Johnson Wins by Heavy Vote in Freshman Balloting
By Clayelle Holden, c'40
Lyman Corilis and Bob Johnson were elected honorary captains of the varsity and freshman basketball teams last night when both court squads were feted at a banquet sponsored by the Lawrence Co-on club at the Colonial Tea Room.
Since 1929 the Jayhawkers have appointed captains for each game and then at the end of the season elect an honorary captain for the past campaign. Forrest Cox, now coach at Colorado was the last player elected under the old system.
Lyman Corlis. who com-
Lyman Corris, who completed his scholastic court endeavor this year, was the game captain in the last 16 games this year. Corris had failed to make the starting line up until this year, had played a forward post for the Topeka high school and had been an applicant for a similar post on the University team until this year. The tall senior was elected all-conference guard this year.
The former Topkca high star was the only senior that started in most games and his presence will be missed badly. For the past season Corlis averaged 6.5 points from his guard position. This average was second highest on the squad. He hit his high for the season against Iowa State when he scored 19 points. In conference games Corlis played 100 more minutes than anyone else on the squad.
After he finished his court tenure this year he joined the Wichita Curtate basketball team and played with him at the tournament now being held at Denver.
The fresh chose an all-airborne athlete from Shawnee-Mission to captain their team, Bob Johnson. Thus far Johnson has earned freshman numerals in both football and track and is expected to be a candidate for the first year track team.

Class of Track World Expected at the Relays
From all indications this year's Relays, April 22, will be one of the best in years. All the ingredients for a perfect meet seem to be present—excellent training weather, a year when records are merely marks that must be bettered as shown by the Big Six indoor meet and the Border Olympics at Laredo, Tex., and a large field of entrants.
The outstanding event will possibly be the pole vault where "Beeus" Bryan, hired of the present Relays record of 13 feet, 13¼ inches, will defend his title against the bar on April 28. At Bird. At the conference indoor meet Bird cleared 13 feet, 7¼ inches and upon trying 13 feet, 11½ inches, was able to clear the bar but knocked it off the standards as he came down. In the recent meet in Texas, Bryan cleared 14 feet, 1
And of course the University's contribution to the racing world, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, miler de luxe, will compete in his speciality against a chosen group of competitors. Entrance in this race is by invitation alone and it is not definitely known yet who all will compete, but several "name" runner will be here for sure. It is hope
to have "Chuck" Fenkse, Wisconsin star, the Rideout twins from Texas, and the sunFlower mile celebrity, Archie San Romani.
TODAY AND SATURDAY GRANDDA
The high hurdles will be another event in which the competition will be plenty rugged. Fred Wollett, Rice Institute, winner of the event last year, will be back to protect him from a brilliant cast of hurdlers.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST PIANIST----
One of his toughest competitors will be Boyce Gatewood, Texas University, whom Wolcott won over in the Border Olympic meet by inches. "Red" Barefield, a Texas sophomore, who was third best in the high timber race at Laredo will be another entrant.
R. V. Wright, Oklahoma A. and M., who set a new mark in the Missouri Valley indoor meet is expected to make Mr. Wolcott step his fastest. Last year Wright was running even with the Texas star until he tripped and fell on the eighth barrier.
AN ABSOLUTE KNOCKOUT — SUNDAY
From all indications at the present time Bob Stoland, who captured the Big Six indoor title after two days of practice, will be the favorite in the high jump. The Jay-hawker cleared 6 feet, $34\frac{1}{2}$ inches at Columbia easily, and is expected to go higher when he gets outdoors
