Tidwell Is 'Most Outstanding'
Bill Alley—A wet field, football shoes and a new relays record.
Darwin Ashbaugh, Kansas' new Big Eight Indoor Broad Jump champion from Ellis was one of only two sophomore champions crowned in Kansas City. He jumped $23-71_{2}$ a career high, for his surprise blue ribbon.
Charlie Tidwell was voted the most outstanding athlete of the Kansas Relays in a poll of sportswriters covering the event.
The Kansas junior won the 100- yard dash and carried the baton on two legs of KU's winning relay teams.
Two runners, a jumper, and a javelineer overcame a muddy track Saturday to set records in four events in the Kansas Relays.
KU junior Bill Alley, although suffering from a 101 degree temperature Saturday morning, pulled on a pair of football shoes and heaved the javelin 254-9. Although this was 22 feet over the record set last year by Bruce Parker of Texas, it was well under his $270^{-1/2}$ herculean throw two weeks ago at the Texas Relays. Alley said that, under the prevailing conditions, the 254-plus toss was still 20 feet farther than he thought he would throw.
Other university class recordbreaking performances were by Dick Howard of New Mexico in the 400-meter hurdles (50.4); John Maey of Houston in the two-mile run (8:59.2); and Houston's Jack Smyth in the hop, step and jump (50 feet one inch). Smyth has now won this event for the past three years. Last year he set a relays record of 49-97/8.
Bill Easton's Kansas team dominated the meet by winning four of seven relay events and three individual titles.
Ernie Shelby, Paul Williams, Bob Lida and Charlie Tidwell won the 440-yard relay by outrunning a Texas team who had been victorious in the race for the last five years. KU's time was 41:10.
The Jayhawkers also added the four-mile, two-mile and sprint medlev relays.
Cliff Cushman clocked a 4:13.2 in the mile to anchor KU's four-mile relay team (Dan Ralston, Bill Mills, Tom Skutka and Cushman) to its 11th victory in 12 years.
Davis began with a 1:56. Bob Tague followed with a 1:53.7, Skutka ran a 1:53, and Cushman finished with 1:53.9.
The versatile Cushman also anchored the two-mile relay team that saw all the Kansas runners well under the two minute mark. Gordon
Anchorman Bob Tague had less than a yard to spare as he snapped the tape in front of Oklahoma's Gail Hodgson to lead KU to victory in the sprint medley. Bob Lida ran the first leg of the race, a 440, and was followed by Williams and Tidwell, each running a 220.
Tidwell seemed to virtually explode from the starting blocks in the 100-yard dash. Within ten yards he was leading the pack, which was by no means a sluggish group, by a good two yards. He kept the lead all the way to the wire to win with a : 99.9.
Ernie Shelby leaped 25-31$\frac{1}{4}$ Friday to win the broad jump. This was a scant $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches behind the Relays record of 25-43$\frac{4}{4}$ set in 1931.
Central Michigan set a 3:14.7 relays in the college class mile relay.

The only other record was set
Friday when Wichita East's Archie
San Romano sped to the fastest mile
ever clocked by a Kansas high
schooler. He hit 4:17.4 to break the
4:18.2 he set last year as a junior.
any chance KU had for duplicating Indiana's 1937 performance of capturing five relay events. Paul Williams accepted a handoff from Ernie Shelby past the end of Shelby's designated 220 handoff mark, and 20 yards later, Williams hit Lida's foot while passing him the baton to send the latter tumbling. Lida was on his feet after a perfect roll but withdrew from the race after limping for a few strides.
A's Stop Indians, Start Home Stand
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI)
The Kansas City Athletics, riding high after they stopped a Cieweanu Indians' win streak at six games, return to the home park tomorrow night for a 14-game stand.
Pinchhitter Zeke Bella delivered the big brow yesterday as the Athletics rallied for all their runs in the ninth inning off Herb Score to beat the Indians 4-3 before 11,264 fans.
A Zebu has never been known to win, or compete in, the Kentucky Derby.

WHO SAID IT FIRST?
A column of incidental intelligence by Jockey brand
"LOVE IS BLIND"
"THIRTY DAYS HATH SEPTEMBER." ETC.
"But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The petty filies that themselves commit."
Next to the Bible, Shakespeare is the richest source of common quotes. He's responsible for this one, too. See his "Merchant of Venice," Act 11, Scene 6:
No need to recite further from this bit of daggerel which has served us all as a pony ever since grade school. For this universal handy reference we are indebted to a man named Richard Grafton who was nice enough to compose the rhyme way back in 1570.
"PUT IT IN YOUR PIPE"
No, Sir Walter Raleigh didn't originate this smoker's challenge. It was R. H. Barham, in "The Lay of St. Odlille";
"For this you've my word, and I never broke it. So put that in your pipe, My Lord Otto, and smoke it."

You can choose from standard T-shirt, "taper-tee" shirt, sleeveless I-shirt, and V-neck T-shirt models. Every man needs a drawer full of T-shirts—and the label to look for is Jockey brand.
