Spring is undoubtedly here. How do we know? Well, something out of the ordinary affected out mighty A's Wednesday night. They not only won but they defeated the Cleveland Indians', 17-6. Then attendance in most classes has fallen off, the second unorganized water fight of the season (a participation sport) was held Wednesday night and a dormitory counselor or two has been reported thrown in Potter Lake.
Getting down to more serious matters Bill Nieder said Wednesday night that "I could tell it was going to be a good throw when I first started my motion." It must have been a good motion for it resulted in a shot put that defeated the world's record holder, Parry O'Brien.
Nieder's effort went 62-2 while O'Brien could do no better than a 59-1, which is sensational for most shot putters. O'Brien had, just the night before the Relays, told Nieder that "I'm hoping for a good day tomorrow so I can get the season off to a good start."
"Parry was really low after he was defeated Saturday," Nieder said, "but he told me that he would rather be defeated by three feet than by three inches."
O'Brien's defeat by Nieder Saturday was only his second. Ken Bantum once topped the Olympic gold medal winner by three inches.
"I think I can break the national record," he said. "It's just a foot away but that foot is the hardest—it will have to come inch by inch."
Before the Relays Saturday the 400-meter hurdles looked like a sure bet for Kansas State's Gene O'Connor. Then along came a KU freshman who had never before com-
pleated that event in competition or practice.
"Coach Easton figured it would be good experience for me to run in the 400-meter hurdles so I entered," said Clifton Cushman who is from Grand Forks, N.D.
Congratulation to the local sportswriters who spearheaded the "drive" which resulted in a change in the brand of wristwatches presented to winners in the Relays. It's that kind of an expose that gives the press its "watchdog" nickname.
"When it dawned on me that I had defeated O'Connor I was overjoyed." Cushman said. "I just couldn't believe it."
No More Wrestling For Brown Bomber
CHICAGO, — (UP) — Former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis may learn today whether his heart has suffered permanent damage. Whatever the news he has decided to give up wrestling.
Louis was told last July he had suffered a cardiac contusion, or damage to a layer of his heart.
Did You Know There's Trouble In Tahiti?
Tennis Coach Charles Crawford has come a long way since he first started playing tennis at the age of 13.
KU Net Coach Began Playing At 13
Crawford, 26, is probably one of the youngest college coaches in the business and a pretty good one at that. After getting off to a slow start this season Crawford's team won three straight and is improving very rapidly.
Attended Topeka High
Crawford started taking his tennis seriously while attending Topeka high school. He played the No. 2 position through high school on a
Although Louis was anxious to learn the results of the examination, he said he had no plans to become a wrestler.
"I have no intention of resuming wrestling or asking for a license," Louis said. "I've been refereeing and I'll keep that up."
The last KU trackman to be team captain in both his junior and senior years was Bob Karnes in 1949 and 1950.
Dean Nesmith has been the athletic trainer for KU for 18 years.
Crawford spent the summer of 1948 playing in junior tournaments around the state. That summer he was the eight ranked junior tennis player in the Missouri Valley.
team that was one of the best in the history of the school. Crawford graduated from high school in 1948.
Not only is Crawford the tennis coach but he manages to spend much of his time in Green Hall where he is a third-year law student. After graduation in June he plans to work for an accounting firm in Kansas City, Mo.
From 1952 to 1954 Crawford spent his time in the Air Force. While in Korea he won the Korean doubles championship.
Won Korean Title
Crawford says that he enjoys coaching very much, but would not want to do it for a profession.
While at Kansas Crawford played tennis for the Jayhawkers. As a sophomore he was ranked No. 2 on the team. During his junior and senior years he played the No. 1 singles position and was on the No. 1 doubles team.
"No, I wouldn't want to coach for a living, but I like to work with
these boys." He went on to say "You can't do much to improve a boys game at this stage, but you can always show him a few little things and help him try a little harder."

WARNING!
NEVER LEAVE ANTI-FREEZE IN YOUR RADIATOR DURING THE SUMMER!
One of the major causes of cooling system damage is failure to remove old anti-freeze from your radiator in the spring. Even the best "permanent" anti-freeze is designed for one full winter season only. After your anti-freeze solution has been used all winter its rust and corrosion inhibitor loses its efficiency—leaving nothing to keep your cooling system from corroding in hot-weather driving.
Automotive engineers say it can cost you a loss of $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $ points in gasoline octane rating. This means you pay premium gas prices for regular gas results. By keeping anti-freeze in your radiator you waste 50 cents on every tank of gas.
To protect your cooling system this summer drain the anti-freeze from your car now and replace it with clean water fortified with Phillips 66 Anti-Rust Solution. Your car will be set for summer driving, and your cooling system will be in condition for fall anti-freeze,
