Henry To Spend Two Days Here Next Weekend
New Athletic Director Is Official Starter For Coming Relays
Gwinn Henry, newly-appointed director of athletics for the University will spend two days on the Campus the latter part of next week. He is to be the official starter for the Kansas Relsays of April 17, and for the Interscholastic track and field meet of the day before, it was announced by Dr. W. W. Davis, chairman of the committee on athletic C. Grover will be the University J. C. Grover will be permitted but his health will not permit him to take the active duties as he has the past 14 years.
Mr. Henry's interest in the Relles is natural, for he was a track athlete of no little note himself. Graduate of Howard Payne College of Brownwood, Texas, he held the Texas records in the 109 at 9.6, the 220 at 21.2; the shot put at 42 feet, and the discus at 145. In 1910 and 1911 he ran for the Irish-American Athletic club of New York, of which Lawson Robertson was coach, and there set a world mark for 125 yards at 12.2, and equalled the world's best distance for the 75-yard indoor. He was selected all-America in the 100 by Robertson and James E. Sullivan. After winning all his races in 1911, Henry was named for the 1912 Olympic team without competition, but illness prevented competition. As a football coach, Henry spent five years at the College of Emporia, winning 37 of 40 games, and in nine years at the University of Missouri piloted Tiger teams to victories in 49 of 75 games. In this time, Missouri won three championships and finalist leadership, Missouri defeated Underleader Nebraska three years in a row, after 26 years of losses, and Henry coached Missouri teams defeated Notre Dame and its "Four Horsemen," and Illinois in the days of Red Grange.
New Mexico won the border conference championship in 1934, Henry's first year there, losing only 6 to 18. But it still but two conference games in 1935.
The appointment for a year is customary since the state cannot be obligated beyond a biennium, and all members of the faculty, even those of 40 years' tenure, are technically hired a year at a time. Essex custom, however, prevents removal after 3 years, except for cause.
Men's Intramurals
A temporary lull in intramural sports for this week has been enforced by disagreeable weather conditions, so the remainder of the week is the game between the Phi Gam and S.A.E. vall ball teams this afternoon.
Games in playground ball originally scheduled for yesterday will be played Monday. Competition in the game will also get under way next week.
Allen Forecasts Changes
Wyaodette's Basketball Team Hears New Rules Discussed
"A coming basketball rule will require that basketballs be inflated to a degree that when dropped from a height of six feet they will rebound at least four feet two inches and not more than four feet seven inches; this is to obtain constant rebound from the backboard." Dr. Forrest C. Allen said in his address on Tuesday night at the Kauan, Kan, and their guests, the Wyandotte High School city championship basketball team, yesterday.
Dr. Allen discussed other prospective changes. The principal one eliminates the center jump after a field goal, a proposal which Doctor Allen has opposed for several years. However, as a member of the rules committee, he voted for the proposal, since the coaches' association favored it. The proposals to have the baskets more than 10 feet from the floor have been discussed at length, and the research committee has been directed to make a further study.
Outstanding Teams To Enter Mile Relay
Event Will Be Exciting Climax in Annual Meeting
The mile relay, an appropriate thrilling finish for an afternoon of outstanding track and field competition, will draw a stellar field of entries in the fifteenth annual Kansas Relays. April 17.
Long enough for the spectators really to watch, yet not tirelessly long, the mile relay is always a spectacular event. The race is short enough that the men run at nearly top speed, but the race is not over just in a flash as is the case in the 440-yard relay. The mile baton-passing event gives a chance for suspense to be built up.
Indiana, which annually has an outstanding team in this event, was the winner last year and their champion quartet, composed of Miller, Gill, Gunning and Collier, returns intact. However, three or four outstanding sophomore quarter milers are on the squad this year and several of the veterans may be supplanted on the team.
Pressing Indiana to the limit will be the teams of Kansas State, Northwestern, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas and possibly others.
Kansas State, Texas Relays champions, is one of the Hoosiers' leading contenders. The Wildcat four-some of Rocks, Brown, Jesson, and Eberhart also captured the Big Six indoor championship. Rocks, Jesson and Eberhart are veterans of note, and Brown is a former state high school champion in the quarter Northwestern, one of the standings in the national lash victory over Kansas State during the indoor season to demonstrate their strength. They recorded a time of 3.23.3, fine indoor time.
Iowa, another crack Big Ten team,
took Iowa State into camp at the
state collegiate indoor meet. The
team was defended only once on the boards.
Kansas will enter a strong team
