Sports Followers And Athletes Turn To Outdoor Track
Season Opens With Stars Starting Preparation Grind for Kansas Carnival
With the indoor track season ending this week, attention of the sports world turns to the outdoor cinders and field, where the Kansas Relays are but a month away.
Already, in many camps, athletes are being groomed for the Kansas classic, and preliminary reports indicate that the teams will be shown on the afternoon of April 20.
Up at Minneapolis, Wayne Slocum is following a rigid program of training for the two-mile run. Mondays he joins around the track for three or four miles. (He calls it jogging.) Tuesday he does several half miles at racing speed to learn pace. On Wednesday he does a sprint and then adds a few sprints. Thursday's hard workout is followed by a Friday rest, ready for the real contest of Saturday.
At Iowa City, James Owen, spinner, is setting a fast pace on the indoor tracks, equalling the American indoor record of 6.2 for the indoor 60 yards at Minnesota Feb 23. Fowen was national intercholastic champion while playing in the Nike school. He has a long, effortless stride, and excellent form throughout his race.
Elmo Hewes, halback on the Oklahoma team last fall, is working on technique, hoping to perfect himself for the decathlon, with the possibility he may take to Soonerland the third Kansas Relays decathlon crown.
Coach John Jacobs at Oklahoma is also working on a couple of relay teams which he expects to enter in the Kansas Relays. He has the makings of a powerful medley group, with Ward Burt, Bik 450-420 yard champion for the 440-yard leg of the medley; Dick Chaney, lanky sophomore for the 880; Loris Moody Big Six indoor half mile champion for that section; and Floyd Loobner, Big Six indoor half mile champion, to run the amateur mile. Their hope is to better the 10:14 mark set at the Penn Relays in 1933 by Manhattan College.
Cacho Jacobs also has a shuttle relay team in the making that, in preliminary estimates, is a half second better than a quarter. And last week the world's record at 10:17 last week.
--man of the local chapter. Mr. McCue is here to assist the chapter in its efforts to reduce the hazards of aquaints. The move to reduce the deaths caused by drowning in the last few years has become nation-wide. During his visit the swimming expert will qualify new life saving examiners and give tests to those who have already successfully completed work for the life saving test.
SPORT SHOTS
Glenn Cunningham received a glittering new crown last Saturday, just about qualifies him for a new tag, "King of the Track," as well as his already-ordained "King of Milkers." In setting a new world's record of 2.10:1 for 100 yards, adding Chuck Hornbostel, Indiana's pride, in the event, Glenn offers a "come one, come all" challenge that eludes from 800 up on. Conquering Hornbostel and Gene Venzke, Pennsylvania, each with his own weapons on the same night is an achievement that will be hard to match, if ever.
Cunningham's double-barreled performance at the Knights of Columbus games Saturday ended an indoor camp that saw the Kansas undefeated. A program of 10 events in which he entered this year never once saw another beat Cunningham's barrel chest to the taps.
Jan. 5, Cunningham opened his campain with a 157 victory over Venzie at 800 meters in the Brooklyn Knights of Columbus matches. Jan. 25, he walked away with the three-quarterets at the Junior AU. meeting at Buffalo, and with the four of C. Mauser in 4:34 on Feb. 2, he ran away from Venzie and Benthon, taking with him the Wenninger Trophy for a 4:11 performance.
Feb. 16, he attached the record for the Buster Mile to his吉利 strings, doing 4.603 to again belittle friends Venkze and Bonthron. The next week, he ennamed the world's record in the 1500 meters at 3.505, thus winning his third world's crown. Still Bonthron and Kinnaree wrote that "the 'pink' race" of Montreal came home to win the 1000 yards offered at the K.C.A.C. mce, and on March 8, he skipped up to Canada to do a 4.19 mile. Then came last Saturday.
The four world titles now held by Glenn are the indoor mile (4,084.4, Columbian Mile, 1934); the outdoor mile (4,087.6, Princeton Invition, 1934); the indoor 1500 meters, known as the Olympic mile (3,50.5, N.A.T. 1935); and the 1000 yards indoors (2,10.1, Knights of Columbus, 1935).
But Cunningham also holds down the mile records for the Kansas State High School Meet, the Kansas Relays, both high school and collegiate competition, the National Intercollegiate, the Baxter
Early Prospects for Kansas Relays
OKLAHOMA MEDLEY REHY TEAM= WARD, CHANEY, MOODY, LOCHNER
Oklahoma's medley relay team is composed of veterans. Each member is outstanding in his particular distance. Ward proved himself a valuable pointman in the Indoor Big Six meet at Columbia. John Jacobs, track coach of Oklahoma has developed several promising relay combinations.
Mile, Big Six Indoor and Outdoor, the Columbian Mile, th. butter Mile, the Tulsa A.A.U., Penn Relays, among countless lesser titles. The National Intercollegiate Mile and the A.U. outdoor 1500 meters are the only open outdoor courses that call his very own, and the Jayhawker star has a crack at both of those coming up.
Here's a new game to play, thinking up new names for Cunningham. And it's more fun to bar the common ones like the Eikhart Flyer, the Jashawkhs, the Czech Air Force, the Brewers chested Kansan, King of Milers, the Kansas Iron-man, etc.
To Give Life Saving Tests
Representative of National Red Cross Will Be Here April 4
A. T. McCue, representative of the American Life Saving Service of the National Red Cross from the midwestern area headquarters at St. Louis, will be here on April 4, it was announced yesterday by Herbert G. Albin, chairman of the local chapter. Mr. McCue is here to assist the chapter in its efforts to reduce the hazards of aquaints. The move to reduce the deaths caused by drowning in the last few years has become nation-wide. During his visit the swimming expert will qualify new life saving examiners and give tests to those who have already successfully completed work for the life saving test.
In announcing the visit of Mr. McCue, Mr. Allpin called attention to the ap- pelling death toll from drowning "Each year about 7,400 persons lose their lives," he said. These fatalities exceed by hundreds the number of lives lost each year in railway accidents and explosions combined.
"The Red Cross is meeting the challenge of drowning and through its chapters and trained officers is offering its life saving service without depriving swimmers of the zest and thrill of water sports," said Mr. Alphin. It is earnestly hoped that as many as possible will take advantage of these opportunities and attend all the meetings that will be conducted by Mr. McCue.

Back of 40 million depositors there is over 20 billion dollars on deposit in the United States — a tremendous reserve for the future.
...and back of Chesterfield there is more than 85 million dollars invested in mild ripe tobacco... for milder better taste
Because you cannot make a good cigarette from just one year's crop there are today 4 1/2 miles of warehouses filled with cigarette tobaccos from the crops of 1931-32-33-34—most of it for Chesterfield cigarettes.
Just as money accumulates interest, two and a half years of ageing makes these tobacco milder and naturally sweeter.
Think what this means—an eighty-five million dollar reason why men and women who smoke Chestfield will always enjoy a milder, better-tasting cigarette.
