Athletics Office Receives Awards of Relay Winners
Two New Challenge Cup Offered This Spring Replacing Won Trophies
The heart of even a modern bandit would leap with joy at the glittering array of gold watches, trophy cups and gold, silver and bronze medals just received at the University of Kansas athletic office. These are the awards to the various place winners in the 17 relay races and the nine annual Kansas track and field programs of the fifth annual Kansas Relays to be held on the Memorial stadium (track and field of the University, April 23).
Forty-nine white gold watches are on hand for the members of each relay team and each special event athlete winning a first place in the university and college class events. Twenty-eight gold medals are ready for first place winning relay team members in the junior college and opeh high school class relay teams. Goers will go second place winners in all competitions and 77 bronze medals will be taken by third place winners.
In addition to the 49 gold watches and 182 medals there are 17 special challenge or permanent loving cups offered as school trophies for the various relay races. Many of these cups are on their way to Lawrence from institutions, widely scattered over the United States, that won them last season and had the right to possess them for a year.
Two new challenge cups are being put up this season, as the cups formerly offered in the one mile university class relay and the medley high school relay were won for the third year last season and thereby went into permanent possession of the winning team.
These cups that were lifted were the Dr. John Oucland cup, which the University of Iowa won in 1923, 1924, and 1926, and the Acacia challenge trophy, which Northwest high of Kansas City, Mn., won in 1923, 1924 and 1926. In winning permanent position, the team won season seas

Indians From Mexico Run Marathon Race in Relays at Texas
exhibition by Tarahuma Girls Is Rewarded by Calles With Schools
A 29 mile marathon race, run by white athletes and three Indian girls, 14 to 16 years old, is the unusual feature of the Texas Relays which are being held today. These girls are members of the Tarahumara tribe, famous for its unbelievable feats of endurance runs.
Three men of the same tribe will run a special exhibition race of 82 miles. They expect to cover the average 7½ hours averaging 7½ miles an hour.
These Indian runners have a high purpose in coming to Austin for those exhibitions. They live in the wilds of Mexico and President Cafale has promised to build schools in their primitive villages in return for their donations. They have also devised to help their native homes for any other reward. They were first
influenced to go to the City of Mexico several months ago for a race in which they attained all who saw them run. They were then permanent.
The plan was almost abandoned when the group came from their mountain homes into civilization and began to learn about strange devices such as motor cars used by the white men awed them and made them afraid. They are learning rapidly now and have free access to the library, as the photograph and the radio.
The girls are short of stature, making them appear small among the American athletes, but they are superb physical specimens. Their strenuous outdoor life in the mountains, where a day's journey of 30 or 40 miles on foot is regarded as a more stroll, has assured perfect condition.
The annual field day for the R. O., T. C, of Creighton University will be held on Tuesday, May 5. Company competition will feature the day, also announced, in football and gun races, a dressing contest, and a contest for pitching shorter tents.
O, Isabel, did Wll win the two mile ? Well, you will win too, if you run down to Reese's Drug store and get a pound box of that wonderful Webster's fudge. Something now, 50 cents the box—Aliv.

Power Is Essential to Airplane Safety in Private Flying
Speed Makes Safer Take-Off Says Report of Aeronaut
to Engineers
New York, March 29—Though it may not often be used, plenty of power is one of the prime essentials of safe airplanes, especially if they are to reach the point where private individuals will have their own airplanes as they now have automobiles. The Society of Automotive Engineers, an机械工程师 of Marysville, Mich., expressed in a report to the Society of Automotive Engineers here on airplanes for individual ownership. Extra speed makes it possible for the plans to climb faster and on unrestricted at about run before being allowed to fly. Airplanes occur at the take-off, this is an important aid to safety.
Visibility is also important, says Mr. Meister, because even the most strongly built airplane will not be safe if it is "billeted" and as a privately owned plane might frequently have to be airborne it is necessary that the pilot's view be as unstructured as possible. In order to secure this, especially in bad weather, it may be desirable that the pilot remain in an open cockpit, and not no inside a cabin, as the noise might seriously hamper his sight.
Another improvement which has already been used in some airplanes is to have the wings fold back when not
in use, a feature that makes the plane easy to store. This is better accomplished with a biplanet than with a monoplane, although small, one wing folding plans have been constructed, he says. Brakes are essential on the wheels for handling uneven ground, for loading gear, which makes possible alighting on land or water, booms large as a possibility in the future.
The two entrants from Oklahoma advanced to the second round of the women's national basketball tournament at Wichita by defeating the highly-trained teams from Pennsylvania. The present champions from Sharon, Pa., lost because of stage fright and were smothered under a 30 to 12 score by the smooth playing team from Lawton, Okla.
Not to be outdone by the Lawton women, the team from Thomas, Okin, took the second Pennsylvanian entrant into camp early in the game. The score was 36 for the "Ollers" and 14 for the "Quinners."

aggregation is made up entirely of Indians and was considered a dangerous contender because of its past record. The team From Cocktail beat the Indians in the feature game of evening by the score of 31 to 29.
Eight teams are left in the running and will show their ability tonight in the second round. Both Oklahoma entrants and the Cockrill organization are favorites because of the brand of shoes worn by the players. This dope is not at all certain, however, since four teams have not yet been given a chance on the court.
