Iowa Track Coach Is Named Referee Of Kansas Relays
Governor Landon, Honorary Official Last Year, Again Invited to Serve
George T. Bresnahan, head track coach at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, will be referee of the Twelfth annual Kansas Helios at Lawrence, April 21.
In announcing Dr. Cressenbah's acceptance, Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, said that the University of Iowa had been represented in the Reals every year since their inception. Bresnahan coached the team of American athletes which toured Europe last year.
Governor Alf M. Landon, LLB'08,
who was honorary referee of the Reefs
last year, has been invited to serve in
the same capacity again this year.
Henry Schulte, of Nebraska, was the
referee last year.
Iowa won the half mile relay in 1927 and bettered its own time in 1932.
In the mile relay, Iowa teams won in 1923, 1924, 1926, and 1927. The record of 3.20, set in 1926, stood until last year, when Indiana cut the time to 3.172. In 1928, Iowa relayed in the mile relay in 1922. Minnesota made a new record in this event last year.
RELAYS ENTRY BLANKS ISSUED
Three Hundred Schools Invited to Par-
ticipate in Annual Event
entire blanks were sent out yesterday afternoon to 300 colleges and universities throughout the United States inviting them to participate in the Twelfth Annual Kansas Relays to be held here April 21. Blanks were sent to approximately 600 Kansas high schools for entries in the Ninth Christi Archdiocese rock meet to be run off in connection with the Relys, April 20.
Letters and cards received at the athletic office from many colleges and high schools requesting the blanks insure a large number of entries in both meets. The total list of schools and individuals entered will be available before April 12, the last day on which entries will be accepted.
Stickers for automobile windshields baggage, and letters are being printed and will be ready for distribution before the Easter vacation begins. They are given to the students for use in advertising the Reds in their home cities.
The stickers this year bear a likeness of Glenn Cunningham and Clyde Coffman, both members of the Kansas track team who were members of the last American Olympic track team. The stickers on the drawings of the drawing was made from an actual photograph by Prof. E. R. Elbel, of the athletic department.
Oread Athletes Plan Club
Lettermen Elect Officers to Head New Organization
Plans for a new organization called the Oread "O" Club are being formed by the students of Oread Training School. The new club will be composed of students who have qualified for it by getting letters. A committee was appointed at the last meeting to draw up a constitution. There will be another meeting next Tuesday to decide on the formation and actions of the club.
At the last meeting election of officers was held. The officers elected were Robert Reed, president; Richard Dawes, vice president; and Sterling Polson, secretary-treasurer and Winston Harwood, sergeant-at-arms. The club was formed for the purpose of instituting a sportsmanlike attitude in the students in all activities. It will co-operate with the faculty in all instances. So far there have been twelve students who have qualified for admission to the club.
STONER NAMED TO CAPTAIN
1935 WILDCAT CAGE TEAM
Manhattan, March 23 — Election of Oren Stoner, Sabetha, a three-sport letterman, to the captain of the 1933 Kansas State basketball squad was announced this week. Stoner is a forward and two-letterman in basketball, and also has a letter in football and one in track.
Spring basketball practice is continuing under Coach Frank Root, Frank Groves, Atchison, was a spectator at practice during the week. Groves is one of the best center prospects to attend K.S.C. in recent years. He expects to return next fall for his first competition.
Baseball Will Start Monday
Baseball will Stark begin the first official baseball workout of the year he be held Monday afternoon at 3:30 on the intramural field south of the campus. This practice is open to every student of the University who wishes to compete in that sport. All participants are requested to bring their own equipment.
Standard Time Based on Convenence; An Artificial Measure, Says Prof. Alter
"Standard time is an artificial way of measuring time and is based solely on convenience," said Professor Dinmore Alter of the University of Kansas department of astronomy in discussing the reason for the irregularity of the time belt boundaries.
By international agreement, he said, the world is divided into 24 time belts at the present time. When there were no railroads and people did little travelling, the correct local time could be used in each town.
Professor Alter said that in this latitude it is one hour earlier for each 750 miles west. Since, he stated, many thousands of people travel this far every day, it would be impossible to make out satisfactory railroad schedules were each town to use its own local time.
"In the 80's the railroads of the country had found the situation so embarrassing that they made an agreement giving what we call Standard time," Professor Alter continued. "Maps in Urban areas show longitudes marked from the naval observatory in Washington as zero."
He went on to say that similarly French maps measured longitude from Paris, Germans from Berlin, English from Greenwich, a suburb of London. This proved very inconvenient to navigators and others needing one reference point from which longitudes could be measured. Since England had the most widely flung possessions and led the world in shipping, Greewich was the most logical place of common interest. States had already begun to refer to Greenwich instead of Washington.

The fifth time belt measured from Greenwich is what is called Eastern Standard time in the United States. The next belt is timed six hours slower than Greenwich time and is known as Central Standard time. The seventh is Mountain time, and finally, so far as the main part of the United States is concerned, the Pacific time is in the eighth time belt.

WICHTA UNIVERSITY TRAINS
STRONG SQUAD FOR RELAYS
Couch Lindsay Austin of Wichita University, is grooming a half-mile relay team for the Kansas Relays to be held in Lawrence, April 21. A strong mile relay team will also be built up before the Relays take place.
It is also for the sake of convenience that the boundaries of the belts are irregular. It is much more convenient said Professor Alter, for the crew of a train to use one time throughout their run. For this reason, the belt boundary is shifted slightly to the east or west to the nearest division point.
Kepner, captain of the Shocker team and Central Conference record holder in this event with a broad jump of 24 feet 21-2 inches, will compete in that event.
Prepare for A. A. U. Meet
Preliminaries in the University open swimming meet are to be run off this afternoon beginning at 4:30.

Jacobs Dislikes One Rule
Norman, March 23—(Special)—John Jacobs, University of Oklahoma track coach, likes all the rules changes adopted by the N.C.A.A. for 1934 except the new high jump rule which reads: "A fair jump is one in which the competitor jumps from one foot and one or both feet precede the body and head in going over the bar."
Oklahoma Coach Approves Most of New Track Procedure
"The new 'International Start' rule which disqualifies the runner for a second false start, does away with all distance penalties and requires the starter to wait two seconds after the command 'Get set' before firing the gun is a good one for intercollegiate runners as it saves time and standardizes all other starts with the Olympic start," opines Jacobs.
"I think as long as a high-pumper doesn't use a vaulting ball or a spring board he ought to be allowed to jump my way he chooses," contends the klahona mentor, "I think a man can bump higher off one foot than if he ook off two feet and dove. Spectators like to see variation in high jumping arm. Besides I never saw a track that was high enough but what several jumpsers violated the present rule and got by. A judge can't sardly catch it with the naked eye.
Jacobs also likes the new rule that allows competitors in the shot, hammer, discus, javelin, and broad jump four trials in series of alternating pairs instead of three trials in turn, as was the old custom.
"Giving a field event man two trials close together is a fine thing," claims Jacobs, "if he gets off one bad put he can correct himself while he's warmed up and has the fault fresh on his mind. Under the old three-trial procedure a failure in that case was careful on his second that he got no distance and then be so scared on his third that he'd forget the form and either fizzle his throw or foul."

Basketball awards go to Tay Ebling, Lindsbach; Francis Kappelman, Lawrence; Frank Affreck, Atchison; Forrest Chapman, Lawrence; Wilmar Shaffer, Russell; Max Lamm, Parsons; and Jack Silverwood, Ellsworth.
Manhattan, March £3.—A squad of more than 50 will answer Coach Lynn Waldorf's first call for spring practice here Monday. The new Kansas State head coach will put in a strenuous weekend, assisting Coach A. A. Exendine of Oklahoma A. and M. in a long practice on Saturday, arriving in Manhattan Sunday, and starting a four-week drill Monday.
Nine men they will receive numerals in football. They are: Clyde Bloomfield, Tulsa; Frank Lynch, Kansas City, Mo; Edwin Phelps, Lawrence; John Petermed, Winfield; Dick Sklar, Monongahela, Pa; Devon Mortemp, Valperaando, Ind; Charles Havens, Topeka; Ray Hafford, Tulsa, and Clade Hensley, Tulsa.
Freshman numerals without sweaters are now being awarded by the athletic department to 27 members of the class of $^{36}$ for athletic services dur-ur-ment. 1982-83
Only eight lettermen, the smallest number in many years, will be back for the 1934 Kansas State team. Walder's success in a hard 9-game game has led to largely on performance of his sophomores and the veterans who did not letter.
Fortunately last fall's freshman squad was one of the best in recent years, and 20 of the 30 men receiving numerals still are in college.
