of d - - 9 st k Page 7.7 KU Eyes Records At Drake Relays Kansas track and field men athletes who will be attempting in the Drake Relays. KU will field a 21-man squad at Drake, several of whom are expected to figure in new marks. Al Oerter, Olympic discus champion and new record-holder of the Kansas Relays in that event, will be shooting for a triple in the Des Moines event. He opened the year by breaking the Texas Relays record. After shattering 14 records in the Kansas Relays last weekend, many of these same athletes will be favored to rewrite the record books in the Drake event. Again, the outcome of the meet depends a great deal on weather conditions. If Oterer is up to par, he has a very good chance to break the Drake record of 172 feet, 11 inches. His peak toss is 184 feet 11 inches in the Olympics. He has consistently been throwing over 175 feet this year. Last year Drake officials figured the group of athletes they had competing would certainly set several new marks. But all of these hopes were pushed aside when wind and rain intervened. Oderer's winning toss in the Kansas Relays was 178 feet 1 inch. The Kansas 4-mite reay team ot Hal Long, Tom Skutka, Jan Howell, and Jerry McNeal also seems certain to break the Drake mark. The Jayhawkers ran a spectacular 16:57.8 in the Kansas Relays to break the intercollegate record. All of these performers consistently run the mile around 4:15. McNeal had the best time of the foursome last week, when he anchored with a sparkling 4:12.9. All Run Around 4:15 KU is also expected to erase the 2-mile record. Last week the Jayhawkers team of Grant Cookson, Tom Skutka, Bernie Gay, and Lowell Janzen cut almost nine seconds off the KU mark with a fine 7.32.3 effort. Janzen anchored the crew with a 1:50.7. Skutka, a member of both record-breaking relay teams, ran his best 880 and mile last week. His 880 time in the 2-mile relay was 1:53.7, while he opened the afternoon with a 4:17.2 in the 4-mile relay. Skutka is just a sophomore and is expected to improve with each outing. Friday, April 26, 1957 University Daily Kansan NEW YORK — (UP) It looked like old times today with Ted Williams and Stan Musial leading the baseball hit parade and it made each of them certain that the end of the trail still wasn't 't in sight. Williams, Musial Lead Hitting Rac "I guess I should have at least another 'year.' Musial commented as he paced the National League with a .536 average while Williams, batting an even .400, added. "This is over the standard I set for myself if I'm going to stay in baseball." The wav they're going, both may be around for some time to come. Each is off to an unusually good start and, barring injuries or mishaps, figures to be a threat all the way for the batting titles. Stan, who hit "only" .310 last season, won the last of his six crowns in 1952 and Williams, second with .345 to Mickey Mantle's .353 last season, won the last of his four titles in 1948. KU Soccer Team Plays Tulsa Sunday A KU soccer team plays its first game of the semester against a University of Tulsa team at 11 a.m. Sunday on the intramural practice fields. A return game will be played May 4 at Tula. KU holds a 454 to 370 edge over the second place team, Missouri, in total points scored in indoor track in the history of the Big Seven. Kansas fans will remember that Wes Santee, former KU miler, first gained national fame during his sophomore year at the Drake Re-lays. Santee turned in a 4:08.4 mile for his all-time best to that date. will join an outstanding field of to break another string of records A Jayhawker four-some of Larry and Louie Stroup, Ray Wyatt, and Mike Cummins will also be a threat to win the mile relay. This team broke the KU school record last week in winning the Kansas Relays. A Kansas distance medlay relay team of Wyatt, Janzen, Howell, and McNeal will also be out to avenge a defeat handed by the Texas Longhorns last week. -KU's Kent Floerke is also a threat in the hop-step-and-jump. The two-time Kansas Relays champion was dethroned last week by Jack Smythe of Houston, but will be trying for a come-back this week. KU had won this race in four of the last six years at Kansas, but was beaten when the Longhorns ran a record breaking time of 10.04.3. KU also was clocked under the meet record of 10.09.7, but trailed Texas by about 15 yards. Floerke A Threat First Home The KU baseball team plays its first home game of the year as it takes on Missouri in a single game today and a double header on Saturday. This series will introduce a new regular, Fuzzy Martin, to the lineup. Martin got to Kansas State pitching for six hits last weekend, and took over the team batting leadership with 471. Martin, who used to be a pitener, earned the right field job unless Ron Wiley is pitching. In that case he will shift to left. First baseman Jim Trombold kept up his furious hitting pace at .448. Shortstop Barry Robertson and centerfielder Bob Marshall are both hitting .286, but no one else on the team is above .200. Martin will continue in the leadoff batting position, which he filled in the last two games at Manhattan. The remainder of KU's batting order will be Barry Robertson ss, Trombold 1b, Wiley p, Eddie Dater lf, Don Steinmeyer 3b, Marshall cf, Barry Donaldson c, and Dale Gullede 2b. Mrs. Mahala O'Donal, 96, of Fairfield, Maine have 292 descendants—10 children, 69 grandchildren, 166 great-grandchildren and 47 great-great-grandchildren.

Miller has been given only 2 supporting runs in the 30 innings he has pitched this year. 743 Mass. The second game at Kansas State marked his fourth loss in as many starts. Supported by poor fielding and weak hitting, he lost 3-1, despite scattering 7 hits and striking out 13. Ron Wiley and Bob Shirley will follow on Saturday. Wiley, besides being a potent figure at bat, has pitched himself to three victories this year while losing none. Shirley, who has been bothered with arm trouble most of his career, pitched his best game in three years at Manhattan. He held the Wildcats to 4 bits and struck out 11i to KIl won the 3rd game 11-3 In all time dual meet standings, every Big Seven Conference track member holds an edge over the Jayhawkers except Kansas State. Glenn Cunningham is the only Jayhawk in history to win two NCAA track championships. He won the mile run in 1932 and 1933. The most outstanding award given annually at the KU Relays since 1948 has gone to a Jayhawker only twice, both times to Wes Santee. Today's game will be the 148th in this series. It will start at 3:00 p.m. Saturday's double header will open at 10:30 a.m. to avoid conflict with the varsity-alumni football game. Missouri, after winning its first 5 games, lost 2 out of 3 to Iowa State last weekend and dropped into a second place tie with Kansas and Nebraska. Iowa State is leading the conference with a 2-1 record. Of all school track records, only the 440-yard and 880-yard relays marks were not set in the last 10 years. YOUR EYES should be examined today.
