East Coast Paper Gives Explanation of Venzke's Loss
Story Says Penn Star Le Ny, Swedish Runner, Raise His Beat at Wrong Time
'NOT USED AS ALIBI
At last from out of the East have come the inside story of why Gene Venkze, the pride of Pennsylvania,走到 Glen Ummingham, the Kansen County Record Company, recorded by Edward S. Hogan states that Venkze was defeated because he let Ny, the Swedish star, raise his best horse and the first half mile in too fast time.
The story states that Venke wants I understood that this is not an alibi but an actual fact because he never aliahs It seems funny that the Eastern writers cannot somehow reconcile the fact that a man from Kansass who was unheard of in the East until just before the Olympics has twice given his life and the man they will barely have a decisive "taking" in the all-nill run.
Eastern Writers Want Venzke
Eastern Writers Want Venkze
When Venkze failed to get a place on the Olympic team last summer, that hurt his confidence and coyty that Venkze had an off day in the trials and Cunningham should be displeased by the Pennsylvaniaian in the Olympic games. The Kansas mude these critics look had when he finished fourth in the Olympic mile, the first American to finish. Last week he defeated Venkze in Washington. His admission that after all Cunningham is a great miler.
Now this clipping arises saying that Venzie made a mistake by letting Ney set his pace. We do not doubt the veracity of this statement, but that is part of the race and if he makes a mistake in the way he ran, he may ringham let Venzie set his pace until the final lap and then showed his heels to the Pennsylvaniaian. This should settle the matter, but Eastern writers still believe that Venzie will defeat Cunningham in the Batter肌. We do not deny that this is possible but we must make sure Venzie has considered he ought to something in one of the races.
New York Times Has Story
In the Monday New York Times there was a large picture of Cunningham which was taken by D.Amere in the Memorial Stadium and came Cunin to watch the game at rufio.
In the article Daley says:
Below the picture was a two column story pertaining to Cunningham and his coach, Bill Hargiss, written by Arthur J. Daley of the Times staff.
"When Venuzko raced his 4-10 mile a year ago, the former New York Athletic Club entry set a mark that most persons thought would stand for a long time to come. Cunningham was little known then, just a fair-to-middling mid-Westerner who gave little promise of becoming a new mile sensation.
"But the record gathering of 17,000 spectators who witnessed Saturday's mile and the case with which the Joyhawk runner vanquished the reductible Vendake are beginning to see how safe the figures of 4:10 are."
Daley also goes so far as to say the next race between the two stars will be a tess-up. "Robertson has always been one to bring his men along slowly, so that they do not reach the height of their effectiveness too early in the season," says Daley. Venzek may well be the Venzek of 1922 in three weeks. and a faster Cunningham is likely to be in there with him."
Smashes His Own Record
Versatile Sooner Runner Breaks 880 High Mark by 3 Seconds
Norman, Feb. 9 — (Special) — Glen Dawson, University of Oklahoma's graduated distance runner and member of the 1932 United States Olympic team in the 3,000 meters steeplechase, broke his own 880-yard record by three seconds in a time trial on Saturday, then went west with the west wing of the stadium here Saturday, and then departed for the east to run in the big indoor meet.
Dawson ran the half in 2 minutes, 3 seconds here Saturday, excellent time considering the difficult track. Scooner track enthusiasts believe Dawson the most versatile distance runner in America. Developed by Coach Jacob, Dawson has run 440 yards in 49.4 seconds with a running start, the half in 1 minute 53.9 seconds, the 1,600 yards in 2 minutes 33.7 seconds, the mile in 4 minutes 18.6 seconds, the two-mile in 18.6 seconds, the two-miles in 3 minutes 53.3, three-meters steeplechase in 9 minutes 18.6 seconds, five miles in 23 minutes 37 seconds and six miles in 30 minutes 19 seconds.
K-Aggies Improve Standing
Two Victories Come After Four Defeats When Skrndski Is Shifted
Manhattan, Felo. (*Special*)-Better its standing in the Big Six basketball race, with victories over Iowa State and Missouri after four straight losses, the Kansas State College basketball team has five remaining games on its schedule, four of them conference affairs.
The shifting of Captain Andy Stirrad back to a guard position in the Oklahoma game seems to have been the change which snapped Kansas State from its worst finish to the first the Christmas holidays the Wildcats had made a good showing, but sickness and the loss of a regular guard who dropped out to concentrate on his books for the last six weeks, wreaked havoc throughout. The offense went to not陪 with it.
Skradski's shift to the guard position gives Kansas State two potent scoring threats at guard, and left room in the front end for the alternation of Breen, Grimam, and Stoner. Dalton has most, and perhaps best, promising sophomore center, did not become eligible until second semester and will not compete this season.
Weekend Games Will Be Important to Big Six Race
Kansas, With Conferenc Lead, Meets Missouri; Nebraska Goes to Oklahoma
K-AGGIES ARE STRONG
Leading the Big Six basketball跑 by a half a game, the Kansas Jayhawkers go to Columbia next Saturday night to meet Coach George Edwards' Missouri quintet in a game that will have an important bearing on the conference standings. The Tigers, tied with New Orleans outside chance for title homers, but another defeat would put them definitely out of the running.
The Jacksonwellers' closest contender, Oklahoma, on the same right meets Nebraska for the first time this season. The Sooners will determine when the title will be decided. If both Kansas and the Sooners win, it is highly probable that the game between the two to be played in March 5 will be a championship tilt.
Jayhawks Have Edge
Pre-game dugs give Konsa an edge over the Tigers in the game this weekend. Dr. Allen's team turned in a 35-37 victory over Miami earlier in the season, and in view of the Tigers' performance, is favored to respond.
Offsetting this advantage, however, is the "jinx" which has prevented a Kansas team from winning a basketball game three years ago. few years. Not since the Brewer Field House has been the scene of the games have the Jayhawks defended Missouri except at Lawrence, in spite of the fact that there were no former championships in that time.
With his reserve strength weakened by the loss of Ernie Vanok, letter guard, due to scholastic difficulties, Dr. Allen will undoubtedly attempt to carry the burden of the training as much of the time as possible. The five men who will be called upon to carry the burden of the title drive from now till the end of the season are Paul Harrington and Dick Wells, forward, and Tom Hancock and Greg Brown and Elmer Schake, guards.
Gay and white said Sand Well "We are a team of sophomores, playing their first year of varsity basketball, but both have shown themselves to be fully capable of handling the duties of their positions. A team that will probably give the team a bit of experience in the remaining games of the season is Kama Sela. The Aggies, after getting off to a poor start in Big Six play, have come out of their slump and are playing a brand of basketball that has moment for their future opponents.

Wrestlers Called Out
Practice to Start Early This Term for Indoor Track
Coach Hargiss Has Eight or Nine Lettermen on Which to Build His Team
TWO MEETS ON LIST
With the indoor track schedule limited to two meets this season, work of the University of Kansas track队 under Coach H. W. Hargus has been an impressive accomplishment swinging into full stride with the beginning of the second semester today.
The first meet scheduled for the Jaya-hawkers is Feb. 25 with the Haskell Indians, and will be held on the in-road K.U. The only other indoor meet for the entire team is the Big Six meet at Columbia, Mo, March 11, Glenn Cunningham, star Kanaa distance runner, and the indoor meet in the east in February.
Only Eight Letter Men Back
Coach Hargill has only eight letter men available out of the 21 granted letters last spring, and may never be selected. Coffman, all-around athlete and member of the United States decathlon delegation in the Olympics last summer, continues in school the second semester and competes in track. There is some possibility he may not compete in track, but it is of eligibility so as to be able to compete in football as well as track next year.
Another letter man will be added to the Kansas team in Jay Floum, doth man, who lettered two seasons ago but whom is the season because of injury in football.
Although Kansas finished second in the Big Six meet indoors last year the Jawharbys scored only 28 points and of those who won points only Cunningham, Ray Flick, co-aptain-elect, and Coiffman are eligible this season.
Cunningham Holds Records
Lettter man available this season through an on-site, half mile. Paul Borel and Hally Ritter, distance runners. Tom McAurea, high jumper; Phil Beeley, pole vaulter; Jace Livelier, javelin; and Amex Cox, buriller.
With only Cunningham and Flick on the squad who can be rated as a constant high point winners in past seasons the outlook for Kansas placing high in conference meets this season seem considerably dimmed. Cunningham holds the conference indoor mile at 1.833 and the outdoor mile at 4.133, and finished third in the indoor two-mile last year.
Flick finished second in the 60 yard indoor high hurdles and first in the outdoor 129 yard highs in 147 seconds last year. Both Cunningham and Flick can be counted on for points in one or more events this season.
Outstanding new material is limited but unless first semester exams cut down some of the sophomores a goodly number of lads with possibilities for development will be on hand for Coach Hargiss to work with in all events. One of the new men expected to show stuff is Elvyn Dres, 200 pounds sophomore. The team will be the national interscholastic 12-pound shot put record at 58 feet 10 inches
New Material Limited
Dees has not been working out with the shot much yet but he should be able to do 46 feet in the indoor season. Ormond Beach, star fullback who also was considerable of a player, is now a forward, trophy and may help to maintain the prestige which Kansas has held in the weight events the past few years.
A Thanksgiving game with the Matadors of Texas Tech at Lubbock on Nov 30 has been scheduled as the ninth game in 1933. Kansas State football schedule.
At least three of the 1832 opponents will be new. They are Michigan State, which last only one game last season. Texas Tech and St. Louis University. Texas Tech is coached by Pete Cawton, an old friend of Coach Bo McMillin, and is a member of the Border States conference.
