State Secretary Reviews Performances of Teams In Previous Competition This Year.
LAUDS ARKANSAS CITY
Kansas Vocational, Defending Champion, Favorite in Class B.
E. A. Thomas, secretary of the Kansas State High School Athletic Association, issued the following statement yesterday in regard to team and individual prospects for the thirtieth annual basketball meet which will be held here tomorrow, April 20, in conjunction with the twelfth annual Kansas Rails.
"Interest among the high school track teams of the state this week will be centered mainly in the KU. intercolostal meet at Lawrence Friday. More than a thousand ambitious athletes will gather there to contest for honors in the class A and class B divisions of this annual invitation affair.
"No predictions can be made as to the ultimate victor in each class, but indications are that in the A class, the champion will be picked from Arkansas City, Wichita East, Wyndotte, Hutchinson, Wichita North, Emporia, Pittsburgh, or Augusta. This is a more guess and there may be several others which will displace some of these in the standings. From early season results it appears that Downs, Kansas Vocational school of Topoca, Fowler, and Chase County will be in the running for class B honors.
"Arkansas City has two great vaulters in Landers and Bird. Landers is also touted as the best high school hurdler in Kansas and last year he tied the state record in the high hurdles at the state meet in Emporia.
"Wichita East and Manhattan have great weight men in Hamm and Killimk, while Kirk, the little Negro spinner of Dowers, is slated to make the boys step in the dashes. Brown of Kansas Vocational is a standout 40-yard dash man and might break the record if weather conditions are right.
"In the Fort Hays invitation meet last Saturday, Downs trotted off with first honors. At the meet in Anthony, Arkansas City won from an impressive field in A division. Fowler took the class B title, Wichita East and Wichita

COLORFUL ARRAY OF STARS OPENED FIRST KANSAS RELAYS CARNIVAL IN MEMORIAL STADIUM, APRIL, 1923
Initial Running of 12-Year-Old Event Attended by Score of Athletes, Largely Members of Old Missouri Valley Conference; University of Pennsylvania Also Sent Entries
By T. D. WILLIAMSON, Jr.
Member of Student Relays Committee
On the warm spring afternoon of April 21, 1923—exactly eleven years ago Saturday—a colorful array of truck and field stars were gathered at the University of Kansas Memorial Stadium for the first running of the Kansas Relays.
To Referee Relays
A score or more of universities and colleges had responded to an invitation sent out from Mt. Oread earlier that year. The entire membership of the Missouri Valley Conference was on hand; the Big Ten was well represented; several schools from the Southwestern Conference were entered; and even the University of Pennsylvania
GEORGE T. BREGHAHAM
George T. Bresnahan, track coach of the University of Iowa, will be referent at the Kansas Relays, in Lawrence, April 21. Bresnahan was coach of the American team, of which Glen Cunningham, K. U. distance runner, was captain, on a tour of Europe last summer.
Father of Kansas Relays
Dr. John Outland, Honorary Referee
Dr. John Outland, who played football at Kansas in 1895, and later at Pennsylvania, where he made "All-Time" the "father of the K.U.R. Relays."
sent a team to Lawrence for this initial presentation of the Kansas outdoor玲援 carnival.
Fittingly enough, Coach Schlideman's University of Kansas quarter-mile relay team was victorious in the opening race of the memorable afternoon. By winning the half-mile relay and placing high in the other four relays as well as in the special individual events, the well-balanced Jayhawk team won the team championship of the First Annual Kansas Relays by a wide margin.
Dream of Altumnus Realized
Sport criticism agreed that the University of Kansas athletic officials had inaugurated the Kansas Relays in a very commendable fashion. The visiting athletes departed for their respective locations on August 14, following year for a resumption of the relay games at the foot of Mt. Orred.
This was the cherished dream of a former University of Kansas student finally realized. Dr. John H. Outland, whose home in now in Kansas City, Mo., had come to the University in the fall of 1883, as a freshman. The following year he won his letter on the Jayhawk football team, playing both fullback and tackle. Outland, however, transferred to the University of Pennsylvania in 1895, where he continued to gain fame on the gridiron, being placed on the All-American both years that he played for Pennsylvania.
It was while Dr. Outland was a student at the University of Pennsylvania that the now famous Penn Relays were founded. Although this early relays carnival had a small and inauspicious beginning, Outland was impressed with the possibilities of such a sports show, and realized what a valuable addition such an event would be to intercollegiate athletics of the middle west.
Outland and Allen Make Plans This thought was still in his mind some years later when he had occasion to be in Lawrence and again visit the scenes of his first two years in college. Outland explained his ideas to Dr. F. C. Murray, a professor of Duisburg. Dr. Allen was enthusiastic in his acceptance of Dr. Outland's suggestions, and as a result they began immediately (the spring of 1920), making plans for the first presentation of the University of Kansas Relay game.
