Kansas Relays Decathlon List Is Not Imposing
Three High School Boys Are Entered; Parker And Pitts May Compete
The Kansas Relays decathlon, a hot bed for development of Olympic decathlon champions, will begin this year the task of uncovering a successor to Glen Morris, for the 1940 Olympic games to be held in Taki
Glen Morris and Jim Bausch, Olympic decathlon champions in 1936 and 1932 respectively, began their decathlon careers in the ten contest event here. Bausch was the victor in 1951 and 1932, and Morris the context here last year, the first he had ever tried his hand at it.
The present field of entries includes no particularly outstanding men, Jack Parker, former Sacramento Junior College star, who was third in the Olympic decathlon, is expected to enter, but his entry has yet been received. None of the players have competed in the event here before.
Three of the earliest entries are high school boys and a fourth is a recent high school graduate. The other two are college men new to the event.
Two of the high school boys entered are twins, the Cain brothers Alex and Ell, from Arkansas City to be exact. These identical Negro students attend the high school division of the Kansas Relays for the last three years.
Alex has high jumped 6 feet 4 inches, broad jumped 22 feet 8% inches, thrown the javelin 160 feet and on the run on the mile relay team. Ell has high jumped 6 feet 1 inch, broad jumped 22 feet, run the 880 in 2/40, thrown the javelin 155 feet, and also quarter on the mile relay team.
The other high school boy, Charles Whitacre of Ottawa is a star in the weights. He has tossed the 12-pound shot 52 feet, thrown the discus more than 120 feet and the javelin 165 feet.
Charles Pitts, captain of the 1936 Kansas track team, has not officially entered yet, but has announced his intention of competing. Pitts, Kansas Relays champion in the broad jump, has been playing practically all of the decathlon events and should be a strong contender if a weak leg holds up.
Practice Football in Rain
Rosacker, Lanter, Shirk and White Are Outstanding
Despite a drilling rain, Coach Ac Lindeney hit his football squared through the second practice game of the season yesterday afternoon. The soggy turf prevented much offensive display with the exception of the penalty kick. The coach needed a punt nearly 80 yards to produce the only touchdown of the game.
Dave Shirk, who played an outstanding defensive game at end last fall, is now playing in a backfield position that he never played through the line for the Blue team.
One of the end problems may be solved if Paul White, freshman, continues improvement. While originally a backfield candidate, Lindsay has shifted him to the wing position, and his weight, near the 200-pound mark combined with his drive gives him great potentialities.
The contest revealed an outstanding backfield candidate in Lanter, freshman from Olathe. Lanter showed signs of becoming a good line plunger as well as a good punter. Several times he got off kicks of 45 or 50 yards from the line of scrimmage.
Lindeey, admittedly disappointed in the weather, is nevertheless pleased with the showing of the squairble. Scrimimage will be in order for rest of the week until Saturday when there will be another practice game.
EXAMINER FOR LIFE-SAVING WILL MAKE ANNUAL VISIT

May I express to you the great pleasure that Mrs. Swarthout and I had at seeing the film "Maytime" the other night at your theater.
My Dear Mr. Schwahn
Without question this film will rank right up at the top among the musical films of the year. Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy in any film make up a combination that is hard to equal. In "Maytime" it seems they have scored another triumph that will still further increase their fame.
I can well understand why the film was recently given a national endorsement by the National Federation of Music Clubs. It is destined for a great success.

Despite the lack of an Olympic meet as a drawing card for decathlon men, the prospects for a field of top-nom performers for the Relays are growing daily. Invitations have been sent to Johnny Parker of the Sacramento, Calif. Junior College, where they come from Hardin-Simmons College.
Parker won third in last year's Olympic decathlon competition, and should lead the other entrants a race. Mr. Miller also a member of the Olympic squad.
The entrance of Terry in the Relays would possibly mean that a record made in 1926 might fall. In that year John Kuck of Emporia Teachers threw the javelin 26 feet and 4½ inches. At the present time Terry holds the American record in this at 228 feet and 3¼ inches. They will have to give him a crowbar to throw instead of a javelin if the other boys have much of a chance.
The Iowa State Cyclones are winding up a young wind storm for their mile relay team which will compete in the Relays. They have been kept inside because of bad weather, but the team decided to open up and set a new indoor track record of 3 minutes 43 seconds of 12 laps. This is about nine-tenths of a mile.
Another runner who should be leading the field is Bill Teiler, a two-miler from Drake. He will attempt to capture the 3000-meter championship at the Relays this year. Don Lash is the only runner who has defeated Teiler since he began his college career.
Herbert G. Alliph, swimming coach at the University, recently had an article "Suggestions for Annual Swimming Week," published in the current issue of "Swimming Pool Data and Reference Annual." The article is a result of about two years of practical work in out- swimming pools. According to Mr. Alliph, it is important to care to get wet in the mornings, thus resulting in empty swimming pools in the forenoon.
He has devised a plan whereby children, and any others desiring to learn to swim or practice can use the pool in the mornings, and also receive expert aid. A certain period of time is allotted to the swimming "week" and the beginners' Red Cross test is given at the close of the time. By this plan valuable swimming training is given to all desiricing it. This not only protects the swimmer, but prepares him to save other lives in an emergency.
