undertaken was no easy one. There were a thousand and one problems to be solved—such as finances, dressing-room and living accommodations for the competing athletes, and arrangement of program-in the promotion of such an event. Dr. Allen and Dr. Outland were determined that the Kansas Relays should enjoy a successful start, and that to end they worked and planned for three years. Finally, on the 21st of April, 1923, their dream became a reality, and the First Annual Kansas Relays were carried to an auspicious conclusion.
Under Student Management Therefore, it is entirely fitting that Dr. Outland should be known as the "Father of the Kansas Relays," and that Dr. Allen should be considered the "Founder of the Kansas Relays."
Without the support of the faculty, student body, and alumni of the University, and the townspouses of Lawrence, however, these two men could never have established the Kansas Relays. They were well aware of this effect, and as a result decided that the active management of the Relays should be in the hands of a student committee under the supervision of a member of the faculty. This committee ordinarily consists of a senior manager, two juniors, four sophomores, and six freshmen. Only the freshmen are selected as new members each year, the upper-classman being promoted on the basis of merit.
Many Records Are Broken The business men of Lawrence have organized the Kansas Relays club, with the help of members in promoting the Relays each year.
In glancing over the Kansas Relay records it is interesting to note that every year a number of the meet records are broken, and on several occasions, when conditions were particularly favorable, as many as eight or ten marks have been bettered in a single afternoon's competition.
Thus, it is not surprising to find no records of long standing. In fact, the oldest relay record on the book is that established in 1936, by Illinois in the quarter-mile event. Last year two new records were submitted; the cord was tied in the university class.
Over the eleven year period of the Kansas Relays' existence, Illinois, Iowa, and Kansas have been the most consistent relay winners in the university class. Illinois tops the list with 13 wins. The seventh place has has won seven events and holds one meet record, and Iowa has won six times and holds one record.
**Middle-West Holds Edge**
It is interesting to note that Illinois has been the most consistent winner of the playoffs, and it has shown up well in the shorter races.
Rough materials for polished gentlemen
$25
"You're an old smoothy" is out . . .
Roughies are the things in young men's suits this spring . . . and K. U. young men are going to town in these new rough materials.
The patterns actually sparkle with millions of colored knubs. The models include that knife plaited back, so well considered for sport and class.
We're showing a wonderful array of ROUGHIES at $25, and the reason we are advertising them today is so that you won't choose any suit until you see them.

Among the schools competing in the university division, Occidental has one victory, Notre Dame two, Nebraska three, Northwestern four, Michigan two, Grimmell one, Missouri four, Texas four, Iowa State four, Chicago four, Oklahoma two, Oklahomba two, Oklahoma two, Marquette one, Oklahoma A and M one, and Kansas State one.
The University of Kansas has been fortunate in the selection of the officials for the Kansas Relays each year. The position of Head Referee has been filled by such outstanding personalities as Knute Rocke, Henry Schulte, Avery Brundage, Alonzo Stggg, and Tom E. Jones.
A comparison each year of the marks established at the Penn, the Drake, and Kansas Relays, the three major outdoor relays carnivals, has shown that middle-western athletes hold an edge over those competing in the East. However, partly due to weather conditions, last year was an exception to this precedent. The Pennsylvania Relays had the best record in either of the four sports carnivals, and equaled the time at Kansas in another. At the Kansas Relays, the best records were made in five events, including the tie with Pennsylvania. The Drake Relay records were best in two events.
Outstanding Athletes Compete
On the other hand, this year's *Kansas Relays* is not without its stars. Cunningham and Coffman, Kansas" two Olympic men, Fuqua and Hornbostel of Indiana, Venice of Pennsylvania, and many others will be vying for honors in the Twelfth annual Kansas Relays. Although the number of Americans
Many of the finest college athletes in the United States have competed in the Kansas Relays. Such names as Jack Eider of Notre Dame, Cylandel of T.C.U., George Searle of Iowa, Hugh Rhen of Nebraska, Jim Bauch of Kansas will be long remembered for their outstanding performances.
