San Romani, Venzke Enter Special Mile
Famous Pair Added In Relays
*Attempt Still Going To Sign "Chuck" Fenske for Fifth Competitor in Featured Event
One of the greatest attractions in the history of track and field in the state of Kansas, a mile race between Glenn Cunningham, Archie San Jose and Lush Nash, is scheduled for the sixteenth annual Kansas Relays, April 23.
Announcement of the race was made yesterday by Gwinn Henry, director of athletics at the University and manager of the Relays. Cunningham and Lash had previously been secured for the Relays, and in a letter Mr. Hasselshaw, the Bill Romani coach, Cunningham said that Romani and Venkze had expressed willingness to compete here.
Four Leading Milers
The race will bring together four of the best milers in the world Cunningham is regarded by most critics as the greatest miler of all time and his three opponents have all made their marks in middle distance running. San Romani and Lush ran the third fastest outdoor mile in history last year at Princeville, with San Romani winning a virtually dead heat in which the two runners crossed the finish line in 4:07.2. The only faster miles outdoors were Cunningham's 4:06.7 and the world record 4:06.4 by Sidney Woodenss of Great Britain.
Two other middle distance stars, the Rideout twins, Wayne and Blaine, from North Texas Teachers, will also compete at the Relays, but will not participate in the special mile run. They will probably run in the distance medley relay and the mile team race.
Efforts are being made to 'add Chuck' Fenske of Wisconsin to the field. Fenske is the latest collegiate sensation in the mile and running. Cunningham a close race at the Chicago Relays recently.
Texas Twins Coming
The outstanding man in the regular individual events should be Fred Wolcott of Rice, who bettered the world record in the 120-yard high hurdles at the Texas Relays with a time of 139 seconds. Wolcott is only a sophomore and is improving with every race.
The mile team race will give John Mumski of Missouri an opportunity to demonstrate his ability. In that event at the Texas Relays the sensational Tiger sophomore finished first in 4:15.9. This was very good time considering conditions of cold wind to buck.
Along the Sideline

Close on the backs of the news that Archie San Romani, former Emporia State Teachers track star, has returned to Emporia from New York to spend several months in an effort to regain the form he had, comes the news that he will be entered in the Kansas Relays special mite with Venkoo Cunningham and Lach. San Romani was a winner in New York where a lung allied handicapped him in the indoor season.
In the Topeka table tennis league, the university of Kansas pongers are holding tightly to a second-place tie with the Ray Bees team of Topeka. The Palace Clothiers of Topeka are barely in the lead, and have matches with both Ray Bees players. In the finals, therefore, they will be able to hold on first place definitely by victories over both teams.
With Venzie and San Romani added to Cunningham and Lash, the pair formerly known to be listed in the special mile, Kansas Relays fans will enjoy an opportunity to witness the greatest four milers of today in action. Heretofore, Kansas Relays spectators have been somewhat disappointed in the special mile races held annually at the Kansas event.

Jayhawk football players will receive a week's rest from spring football when practice ceases for the Easter vacation, at least by next Monday afternoon, not to be renewed until April 25 for the final week of drill. Because of the immense amount of work to be done in preparation for the coming Kansas Relays, Coach Ad Lindsey will not call the practices until after the Relays are completed.
James Gillispie is senior manager of the student relay committee this year. The committee, composed of 13 students, does much research on Kansas Relays, the annual Kansas Relays, which will be held April 23.
Trackmen Get Ready For Huskers
Changes To Be Effected as Squares Outside To Practice for Meet With Nishaura
With Nebraska
Work on the outdoor track, ran
or shine, will face the Kansas track-
sters as they prepare for a dual
race. On Sunday, they'll visit
stadium track next week.
After running on an outdoor track only three times this season, two practice sessions and the Texas Relays, Coach Hargis' men will work outside regularly for the remainder of the track year.
Several changes will be made in the line-up, as Harriss will distribute his runners in events to be most effective in point gathering. Although there are two big relay carnivals on the program, work for the dual encounters will hold the spotlight.
Probably the greatest collection of truck and field stars in the history of the Kansas Relays will assemble here April 23. The Kansas, with a little outdoor practice, are expected to give a much better performance than they exhibited in the Texas Relays.
In dual competition, the Jayhawkers will miss Don Dori, pole vaulter. Bird, a sure first-place winner, has not sufficiently recovered from an arm injury for further competition.
Reid Goes Into Finals In Tennis
Scott, Sinning, Franks,
Are Others Eligible for
Last Elimination Tournamen
By Jim Bell. c'40
Bruce Reid went into the final tournament from which will be picked two men who will round out the variety team season when Kaplan failed to appear for their scheduled match on last Saturday. Along with Reid, are Sinning, Scott and Franks. These four men will play a round robin tourney of about ten games each to determine three and four team members. Some defeated men from the first tournament will have a later opportunity to challenge back into the winners.
Coaches Hoverstock and Kell are taking every precaution against a slip up. Their search for men to fill the number three and four positions has been exhaustive. They have taken every man into consideration. Lesers who might have had an off day are being given a second chance to prove that they are worth a position on the sound.
The tourney must be played in the next few days as the Jayhawk squad goes to Toppea, April 12, to participate in the burn team in the seasons' opener.
If play continues to be as good as it has been, Kansas has a very good chance of defending the Big Six tennis title which they won last year. The absence of Kiley, last year's number one man, will be felt keenly, but Hoverstock and Kell are both veterans with plenty of experience. They are shaping up very nicely and should be better than the average Big Six caliber by the time the regular season gets under way.
The Big Six schedule will begin here on the thirtieth of this month when the Wildcats from Kansas Instate invade Lawrence. Before this season, they would have Washburn in Topeka, Wichita University here, and Washburn here.

Though spring is here and a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, two organized teams on the Northwestern campus dug up last fall's football regalia and are working up a belligerent father of hostility for a title struggle. The Sigma Chi and the Himan House Friars will meet for the intramural touchball championship. Fred Slater, Northwestern sports writer, predicts a brutal, blood-spattering clash.

The University of Texas stadium, scene of the Texas Relays, was literally brimming with track talent last Saturday as the greatest cindermen of the Southwest and Middle-West clashed in the first major outdoor meet of the season. Wolcott, sensational R蒜ophomene hurdler, stole the show from the other periphery in a 120-yard high hurdle. He was clocked in 13.9 seconds. In addition to his brilliant performance in the hurdles he captured first in the 100-yard dash.
As if being announced as the queen of the Texas Relays were not enough for one day, Kathryn Spence was notified Saturday that she was elected as a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
48-second flat 440. Two fast half-mile times were turned in by Bell of Rice and Gahan of Oklahoma. Bell and Gahan of Oklahoma and Gahan was caught at 1.55.
It is news when college students go to high school, and that is just what the University of Cincinnati tracksters are doing. They are using virtual reality on it. It seems to be the only track in even fair shape at that vicinity.
Men's Intramurals By Jim Bell, c'40
Baseball
A rain-soaked field and a cloudy sky yesterday afternoon prevented softball, tennis and horsehoe events from proceeding on the regular intramural schedule. It was felt that if games were played on the diamonds, the fields would be out of condition for Thursday's games. The intra-team games will be scheduled that day; games will be played at a later date, and tomorrow those games which were scheduled for that day will be played.
Tomorrow will see the untried Delta tangle with Phi Paï's, who rumped all over the Sig Ep's Monday. The Kappa Sig's will attempt to keep their shirt clean when they leave the gym. They'll do the hard way to the Sig Algh's Monday. The Phi Delt's will do their best to redeem themselves when
they cross bats with the Sig Epa's who also will be trying to forget a defeat.
Beta and Sigma Nu are both undefeated, and each will try to stay in that condition. This should be one of the btest games of the alter-evolution game, because the Sigma Nu's showed unexpected strength when they dumped the Phi Gam's Monday. PI K.A. will go into the minsters, who are, from all reports, plenty strong. They have not yet played. P.A.D. will face its first test in the West
Tennis matches scheduled for tomorrow are: Phi Gam vs. Kappa Ea Kappa; Campus Ruders vs. Theta Tennis; Tennessee vs. S.A.E. *Horseshoe*
The Beta's will meet the Sigma Nu's and Pi's for will play with them. The Beta's will meet the Intramural field. Both games are scheduled for 2:30.
This afternoon the team handball matches will get underway when Phi Psi engages Phi Delta Theta and the Beta's take on the Sig Ep's.

Continued from page 1
If I could afford them, it would be orchids to Blackburn for splen-did musical directing and a nice chunk of acting; to Meyn for having what she was supposed to have; to Fritz for looking and singing sweet; to Sanders and Fowler for tapping tip up; to Ross Robertson and his chair for more good music; to Eddle Singleton and Keith Davis for great music; to Serenaders for a truly amusing bit of musical nonsense.
To Producer Jim Coleman; to director Rolla Nuckles; to all the minor directors for their work; to the composers—and especially Bill Tatum—and the numerous times—for showing that the University can produce original music.
