Pachacamacs Gain Sweeping Victory at Polls
Decathlon Entries Continue as Time For Relays Nears
Seven All - Around Athletes Have Already Signified Intention of Entering Event
A field of seven was assured in the decathlon event of the Kansas relays with the entry today of Dave Cook of the University of Illinois, and Lorenzo McLain of Wichita University. Cook is co-containment of the Illinois track team.
Jay Brewder of the University of Chicago, whose entry was announced yesterday, will be making his initial entry as a decathlon contest. However, his record in the various events making up the decathlon is such that his coach, Ned Merriam, is satisfied that he has the makings of a decathlon contest. Only in the 1500-meter will he need coaching, Merriam says.
Russell Pearson of Central Missouri Teachers College, another entry, finished fourth in the Kansas Reals last year with 6183.52 points. The decaathlon was won last year by Charles Gorilla, a junior at Mount Bloch, Mo., school with 7454.04 points.
Coffman, Kansas Entry
Other entries in the decathlon are Clyde Coffman, Kansas' second member of the American 1932 Olympic team; Ray Patterson of Iowa Wesleyan; and Arnold Preheim of Yankton College, Yankton, S. D.
The decathlon is a combination of 10 representative trials of strength and speed, and will require two days for completion. On Friday afternoon, starting at 2 o'clock, the first five events will be run off: the 100-meter dash, broad jump, 16-pound shotput, high jump, and the 400-meter run. Saturday forenoon the remaining three events—the 110-meter high hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and the 1500-meter run.
The decathlon is scored by assigning 1000 points to the best time or distance in the Olympic games in 1912 or before, and making arbitrary deductions or additions for each fraction of a second, or part of a meter short of the Olympic standard, or exceeding it.
Scoring Based on 10 Events Because an Olympic contender must do moderately well in 10 events, instead of exceedingly well in one (as the Olympic men do) the score of the typical decathlon contender will range from 500 to 850 in each event, or around 7000 for the 10 events.
Entries in the college class for the relays today included Wichita University; Central College of Fayette, Mo.; William Jewell College, Liberty, Mo.; and McPhrison College.
James Bausch, competing as a University student, set the Kansas Rewels record in 1932 at 8022.4025 points, and later in the summer, under the colors of the Kansas City Athletic club, won the Olympic decathlon with a new world and American record of 8642.235 points.
RELAYS QUEEN DEADLINE SET
Contest Entries Must Be in by Mid-
dawn Tomorrow
Photographs of the entries in the Kansas Relays Queen contest must be turned in at the Athletic office or given to Bill Howard, senior manager of the annual carnival, before midnight to ensure its security is allowed to submit only one entry.
The deadline for entries from the various organizations was made necessary, because the photographs must be sent to Gene Venkze, famous University of Pennsylvania runner, who will select the queen. Results will be announced two or three weeks before the Relays, and the results will be sent by email and special delivery. Venkze will telegraph the results as soon as he has made his decision.
An added lure was brought into the context with the announcement that movietone photographers will be on hand to take pictures of the Relais and Château up north, the winners. The pictures will be shown throughout the country.
Letters Awarded At Haskell
Twenty-six major sport letters were recently awarded at Haskell Institute by Gus Welch, director of athletics. Nineteen went to members of the 1933 football team, and seven to the 1933-34 basketball squad.

Gradually the various events have been timed until each, with the exception of field activities is held on a different day.

All freshmen and sophomores should see their advisers within the next few days. Names of all advisers, with their office hours, are posted on the bulletin board at entrance door of the College office.
**Gunnar Mykland**, president of the Pacchaeam party, led his group to victory as a candidate for the presidency of the council. His margin over Quentin Brown, Coalition leader, and editor of the 1934 Jayhawker magazine was 135 votes, a lead that was not seriously threatened throughout the entire county. Tom Perez, an alumnus for president as an Independent Socialist candidate for president, and George Packard similarly received two votes for vice president.
The closest race among the major offices was that between Lloyd Metzler, Pacchauanice, and Paul Harrington, Oread-Kayhawk, for treasurer. Metzer won by about 50 votes, but throughout the counting was close, the two candidates hanging within a few votes of each other.
The race for vice presidency of the council was another of the close issues of the election. Although Vorn, Pachacumac, finally defeated Coeil, Collard and Gomez, it was when Epsd led and when it appeared he would be the winner.
Pachacamac Sweeps In College
Pachacamac Sweeps In College Pachacamac swept through the list of college representatives from early in the evening when all of the parties' candidates led the Oread-Kayhawks by substantial margins.
The greatest margin enjoyed by a candidate went to Lawrence Leigh, candidate for student directory manager, who defeated Earnest Haas 823 to 570. Dale Crosby was almost one sided. Clyde Collins was almost one sided. Wells winning by almost 200 votes.
Yesterday's victory for Pacachacam was the most decisive sweep registered in a student election on the Hill for a good many years. Last year, in a victory regarded as one of the most complete in the history of the party, Pacachacam lost last council posts against two this year. None of the races this year were marked by close voting as were several of last year's contests.
Graduates Support Coalition
Graduates Support Coalition
The Graduate school was the scene of the only definite Coalition triumph, with Oread-Kayhawk carrying every office by about a 5 to 1 margin. The other schools except the Law School took substantial margins, in the Engineering school the vote was closer than in most of the others, Pac-hacamea winning by about 20 votes in 275 cast.
Two independent candidates vied for honors in the Law school, Darrah winning in Hoover 50 to 32. NeNither party had filed candidates for Law representative.
The final count of all ballots was completed shortly before 8 o'clock this morning. The election committee from the Men's Student Council, and six men from each party, did the work of counting and recording the ballots.
A total of 1417 votes were cast for the presidency, a figure considerably below the record of last year, when 1551 ballots were cast.
