THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
PAGE SEVEN
Brief History of K. U. Relays Is Marked by Brilliant Races and Many New Track Records
It was on the 17th of April, 1923 that the Kansas Rebels, now a nation-wide institution had their inception. On that day more than 10 states gathered in Lawrence to establish this great outdoor meet.
The day was ideal for a meet of this nature, and, although it rained the night before, the truck was fast, and Kansas players were hard and the races in this class were close. Kansas athletes run well that day and the Kansas team carried
The outstanding race of the most was the university medley relay in 1962, where she beat University of Pennsylvania through the brilliant running of their anchor Jim Rees. The Longhorns set up an intercollegiate record in the national championship.
First Carnival
The thirty-two events we see on the program are three carnivals and each of those were run off in fine shape and very nearly on time. The visiting coaches went away with favorable comments on the carnival and hopes for the future were bright. Louis Metcalfe of the University of North Carolina took part of the most and John L. Griffith, commissioner of the Bie Ten was starter.
The next year 1924 brought another fin'd day and more record performances. The Longhorns from Texas again grab the spotlight, setting a new world record in the medley relay of 7:38.2.
This most brought a new entry to the Kansas games—Occidental from Los Angeles. The count boys under Coach J. A. Pipal, entered all four college relay events and not only won them, but set new records in them. The California also won the university quarter mile rally, "Red" *Irwin* of the Kennesaw Aggies was awarded off three "Oxy" runners in the open hundred yard dash. It was a race all the way with Irwin winning in ten flat.
Banner Year Was 1925
This biography us up to 1925, the banter year for the relays. More schools entered and the competition stronger. Added to this was an ideal day with a lightning track. As a result every record except the disc throw and broad jump were pushed aside. More than three world records were made.
The great Teenya medley team lowed the record in this event, this time to 7:35.8 A with the University of Kannas also shared in the glory by setting a new world record in the 440 yards relay of 42 seconds flat. Powers, Rooney, Wongwai and his great race was run in three sections. Butler won the first section in 42.4, 1-1 second slower than the world record held by Illinois. The University of Kannas encouraged enuing the time set by Butler.
Kansas Breaks a Record
Kansas Bressa a nice team.
The last section is together Kansas Indiana record holders and Missouri. Two other teams also run. The跑车起外伤 with each school about even but they swung into the last stretch with Illinois about a yard in the lead of Kansas. Bud Evans, Big Ten dash champion was the Illini anchor man, Fisher the Missouri runner is not on the records here, but he was not after Fisher. About fifty yards from the tape Fisher put on his great driving finish and passed Evans right at the tape. The runners finished so close that Kansas Indiana had three places in the event, Butler and Iowa being forced into a tie for fourth place.
The same thing resulted in the half mile relay except that Fisher's drive came a tenth second too late. He passed Evans just after they hit the tape. Illinois winning in the world record time of 1 minute, 27 seconds

Weir Victor in Hurdles
Nineteen twenty-six was another great year for the carnival although not so many records were made.
Another great race developed in the 120 yard high hurdles. The finals of this race brought together Kinsey, Illinois, Olympian champions and record holder in the 110 meter hurdles, Morgan Taylor, star Grinnell hurler, Ed Weir of Nebraska, Nickelman Drake and Schulz of Missouri Wesleyan. The three first named men ran neck and neck for 70 yards with Kinsey and Weir possibly six inches ahead of Taylor. It was the most beautiful hurdle the writer has ever seen. Weir and Kinsey were the hurdles in unison and each were in step between the hurdles. Finally as the finish drew near it could be seen that Weir was gaining slightly. Just as the hurdlers were about to cross the finish line Kinsey won the first. Finally Taylor second and Kinsey third, in the time of 15 seconds flat. Other notable records made that
Roland Locke began the attack on records by taking the 100 yard dash in 9.6 seconds. The great Cornhushner Glyer was nearly eliminated in his preliminary heat when he was left sitting on his hatch at the start. He was forced to dislodge getting under the grip of Kane of Cepcintion in 9.8 seconds.
The Kansas quarter-rule team composed of Rooney, Wongwen, Grudy and McNeherney, took this event, equalling the record set the year before. The Cornishers with Locke in the lineup had bad luck in this race, when Davenport the first Husker runner dropped the baton in passing it to Wyatt. By the time Wyatt had received the elusive title, the race was over.
The Huskers redeemed themselves however, in the half mile relay. With Locke running the another position the team was able to record a minute 36.2 seconds for this event.
A feature of this meet was the appearance of Charles Hoff of Norway, whose team played against a group of motion picture camerawans, finally consented to vault. 13 feet 4 inches was the best distance for his general dissatisfaction of the crowd.
This leads up to the big carnival this year which has drawn the largest entry list in its history, although not from as wide an area. With a good day in prospect, relay fans may expect another onlaugh on records.
Several of the spring quiz candidates have been excused to make up studies and others have failed to complete the 23 men on the south field last night.
"Swede" Carlson, former K. U. backfield star and captain of the team of 1900, has announced that he will resign his position of coach of the ElDorado high school and will take up the duties of head coach of football at Behany, College, Lindsborg.

Your business and Ours Does the average man know his business?
THE POINT IS, knowing shoes as we do and as we have the opportunity to know them we honestly believe WALK-OUER shoes are the best shoes a man can buy from the stand-point of jit, style, quality and price. You can't buy a cheaper shoe that's worthy of your foot and you can't find a better shoe.
We think so; if he doesn't he should.
Al any rate he ought to know more about his own business than of any other except politics hadn't he? All of which leads up to the fact that we know more about the shoe business than you do.
