Big Six Trackmen Train for Year's Last Competition
Kansas, Oklahoma, or Nebraska Is Favored to Win Annual Outdoor Meet
Track representatives of all the Big Six schools will go through their final paces this week in preparation for the sixth annual conference outdoor track and field meet, which is to be held Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19, at Lincoln.
Coach H. W. Hargis, Kansas leader, picks Oklahoma to win, with Kansas and Nebraska following in that order. However, the sports department of the Oklahoma University paper doses the Jayhawkers to repeat their Big Six indoor triumph, and believes the Sooners will nose out Nebraska for second place. The Cornhuskers must be fitted in however, due to an early soak during the game, who later wavened this defeat in a triangular meet with the Nebraskans and the Aggies, and the fact that the meet is to be held on their home soil.
Pre-meet statistics seem to point to a three-way battle for 1934 honors between Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, the defending champion, though final results of the two-day meet may show the Kansas Aggies very close to the top.
Kansas State this clads are generally picked to finish in fourth place, fot-
loved by Iowa State and Missouri. Little is known concerning the abilities of Iowa State contestants, but they dropped a dual meet decision to the Mizzou men early this month. This fact would indicate that their scoring abilities are limited. However, first place in the javelin throw can be nearly conceded to them, and a first in the 440-yard dash appears not improbable. Iowa State performances in these contests were higher in the final scoring than Missouri, which appears to have only one chance at a first place, the low hurdles.
In the five annual conference meets since the formation of the Big Six confederation in, 1923, the Cornhuskers have garnered three, and Kansas two. Nebraska won easily in 1929, with nearly 20 points to spare. Kansas was second. The following year, the Jay-hawkers gathered their first victory by nosing out the Nebraskans by three points.
The Kansas team of 1931 made it two in a row by piling up a $6\frac{1}{2}$ foot majority over the second place winner which again was Nebraska. The northerners came back strong in 1932 and hung up their second victory in four meets, with a nine point margin over Oklahoma, the second place winners. Last year, Nebraska collected a myriad of second and third places, and retained their championship in spite of 10 first places garnered by the Kansas entries.

Rain Spoils Tennis Match
Contest With Nebraska Scheduled for Yesterday Is Called Off
Heavy weekend rains definitely spoiled the University-Nebraska tennis match which was to have been played on the varsity courts yesterday afternoon. Efforts to stage the match on the indoor court of the gymnasium failed as the Cornhuskers feared the defeat. But they did their best to suit their chances for victory over the Kansas Aggies in a match being played this afternoon in Manhattan.
Washburn Tennis Is Strong
Captain Arthur Voss and Kenneth Kell, University No. 1 and No. 2 ranking players will return the Nebraskan visit Thursday, May 17, and will engage the northerners in two singles matches and one doubles match.

Ichabods have Forebodings as to Outcome in Track, However
Topeka, Kans., May 15—The loss of several track stars by ineligibility this spring has caused Coach Elmer Holm of Washburn to give up any hopes of finishing high in the team ratings in the conference meet to be held in Washburn's Moore bowl Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. But there are several individual performers who are expected to ring up counters for the Blue.
Among them is Earl Rittel, sturdy javelin-thrower from Rock Creek. Rittel seems to be almost a cinnch to win the league javelin title, as he has tossed the spear consistently over 190 feet this spring. Rittel was individual high scorer at the high school meet at the University of Kansas last year.
In tennis, as has been the case for the last four years, the Icabods are high favorites to win the league title. Boasting such stars as Jesse Dailton, Independence; Darwin Deaver, Topeka and Tom Chittenden, Topeka, the blue raquet squad should cop the tournament with ease.
In meets this year the Blue team has been beaten only by Illinois university, while victories have been registered over Kansas State twice, Washington university once, and two ties with Kansas university.
Dalton, conference champ in 1932, is doped to win again, but he may encounter some opposition from Deaver, runner-up last year. In doubles, Deaver and Bobby Lee are favored, with the line-up of the other team in doubt as yet.

FINAL DIVISION ELIMINATION
IN SOFTBALL PLAY BEGINS
Play in the final elimination tournament between the winners and runners-up of division competition in intramural softball will get off to a beated start at 4:30 this afternoon. The heavy rain left the intramural fields so spongy that it was impossible to start play yesterday afternoon.
Today's first round games bring together Alpha Tau Omega and the Collegeians on diamond 1, Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Tau on diamond 3, Beta Theta Pi and Bricks cafe on diamond 5, and Phi Delta Theta and Phi Gamma Delta on diamond 6. The second round will be played tomorrow afternoon if R.O.T.C. drill does not keep too many players away, in which case the semifinal games will be played on Thursday.
