Decathlon Proves To Be Popular Event at Relays
Twice As Many Entries
Participate This Year
As on Previous
Occasions
Popularity of the decathlon as a sports event was attested by the fact that of the 18 men who started competition at the recent Kansas Relays, all but two were Also. The list of entries for the final race is as great as at any previous Relays.
"The decathlon offers an excellent form of athletic competition," said Dr. James Naimish, professor of physical education at the University. "It is especially valuable because it makes for the all-round athlete. The decathlon, or ordinarily run, includes a dash, a hurdle, and a long jump, and an extremely long run (1500 meters) three weight-throwing events, and three jumping events.
"One difficulty of ordinary track is that the athlete drills in the thing that he already does well, the decaation of the jump, and the runs upon all the muscles of the body.
"I don't mean that an athlete shouldn't specialize. That is all right, and such events as the shotput, the javelin throw, and the hurdles need to be practiced even from the high school age, but the endurance events, such as the long runs, should be deferred until the youth is more mature."
In this connection, De. Naismith suggested that a pentathlon—any good selection of five differing events—might well be worked out for high school competition. He suggested a jump, either the high jump or the broad jump; a weight event, such as the shot or discus, or perhaps the javelin; the pole vault; a run of 100-yards; and a mile run. This group of events, if not crowded in to close succession, would promote good physical well-being of the high school youth, and the all-round competition would be to his benefit.
Dr. Naisma also likes the decathlon system of scoring, where definite points are given for proportional approach to an established perfection. In ordinary track scoring, the runner-up gets three points to the winners' five, whether the runner-up was pressing the winner, or was far behind. The decathlon tables establish definite points for each grade level. For example, a scoring book used at the Kansas Relays for the first time in America, contains scoring for events other than those usual in the decathlon—the hop-step-and-jump, for example.
Through the efforts of Stun Schwabh, manager of the Granada theater, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer traveling motion picture studio will visit this city on its goodwill exhibition tour. The lavishly equipped studio on wheels, constructed by the motion company at a cost of $150,000, is scheduled to arrive here Thursday, May 9, and according to present plans will be open for public inspection from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. in front of the Granada.
Picture Studio To Be Displayed In Lawrence
The [studies], which has traveled across the continent from the M-G-M studios at Calver City, Calif., has aboard it more than $80,000 worth of sound, motion picture recording, and projection equipment. It is a completely equipped Hollywood studio on wheels.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
A M-G-M director and a complete stuff of camera, soundmeter, electricians, and movie make-up experts compose the personnel of the outfit, but motion pictures will not be filmed in this city during its visit.
During the period of inspection, the general public will be permitted to enter the studio. They will be escorted through by the motion picture man, and the operation of the sound recording room in one section of the 55-room auditorium. The recording room in the rear compartment of the studio will be explained in detail.
Its brief stop-over here is being regarded purely as one to permit film fans of Lawrence to inspect the outfit, to learn how talking pictures are filmed, recorded and projected, and the motion picture technicians will be available to answer questions regarding their work.

Freshmen Track Squad Composed Of Good Material
Former High School Stars Have Placed in Interscholastic Meets Held Here
The freshman track team this year is one of the best the school has had in recent years. It includes six men who placed in the state high school meet last year and two paedo-freshman stars who are completing their year of residence. One of these latter two was state junior college champion in the 220 yard dash last year, while the other was Missouri Valley A.A.U. champion for the same distance. These freshmen won a number of awards at the Interscolastic conference meets and the Central States met, one of the regional meets established to take the place of the abandoned national high school meet.
Dalton Landers, of Arkansas City leads the field by virtue of his national intercollegiate championship in the pole vault. He also was Central States pole vault champion and at the high school meet here and at the state he won the high hurdles. Donald Bird, a teammate of Landers, was also outstanding in the pole vault, taking the championship here and trying for first at the
state meet. At the meet here Bird broke the record established in 1929 by Clyde Coffman, winner of the decathlon last Saturday. Landers and Bird vaulted 12 feet 3 inches to lead all the school stars in their country by 3 inches.
Marvin Cox, of Yates Center, was 440 yard dash champion here and won the high jump at the Central States met. Three times during the year he jumped higher than 6 feet $2 \frac{1}{2}$ inches and his best jump of 6 feet $3 \frac{1}{2}$ inches won him a place on the national high school honor roll. Noel Stewart, of Valley Falls, won the low hurdles here and finished second in the state meet. Harry Wiles, of Macksville, won the Class B low hurdles and was fourth in the Central States meet. Grant Barcus, of Wyandotte, finished third in the disc and fourth in the shot put at the state meet. John McCoy, of Hiawatha, was fourth in the high and low hurdles at the state meet.
Lloyd Foy who competed for Hutchinson Junior College last year was the state junior college champion in the 220-yard dash. His best time of 21.5 gave him a tie for fourth on the national junior college honor roll. Glen Ogle, a University student,University was the Kansas Conference champion in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and was the Missouri Valley A.A.U. champion in the 220.
