Kansas Wins Three Relays; Oerter Shines At Texas
The Kansas Jayhawkers came within a yard of sweeping all four distance relay events at the Texas Relays Friday and Saturday, a feat which would have matched a Kansas record of 1953 when West Santee anchored four teams to victories.
However, Gary Parr, Oklahoma's 6#5 half-miler ran a 1:50 anchor leg on the end of the Sooners' sprint medley team to edge the Jayhawkers' Bernie Gay by a yard.
Gay blazed his all time best, a 149.6 cleanup carry but touched off asyard behind Parr and could not make up the difference.
The host team, Texas University, made off with the "most outstanding team" trophy by winning three relay events and crowning Eddie Southern as 120-yard high hurdles champion and McGuire as broad jump champion
KU's Al Otert showed he will be the best扑 utter-disc thrower doubled in KU history by winning the discus with a meet record of 200 feet $9 \frac{1}{2} $ inches. He was second in the shotput with a 53 feet $ 5 \frac{1}{8} $ inches throw.
Defending broad jump champion,
Kent Floerke, who won last year's
event with a 24 feet $6 \frac{1}{2}$ inch leap,
had to settle for second in this meet
when McGuire bounded 24 feet $9 \frac{3}{4}$
inches. Floerke jumped 24 feet 1
inch.
One of the meet's outstanding performances was turned in by Bill Tidwell, Emporia State's smooth running senior distance man. Running anchor on the E-State sprint média team in the university division, Tidwell touched off 50 yards behind leading Oklahoma.

Tidwell Runs Great Half Mile
He made up 46 yards on Parr with a 1:47.2 half mile that left Texas Relays fans gasping. The best time in the nation this year for the half mile is 1:49.
Tidwell came back with a 1.49.6 half mile 50 minutes later as E-State swept to an easy college sprint medley victory.
One world record was broken during the meet when Texas' half-mile relay team, anchored by Bobby Whilden, sprinted to a 12:27 effort Friday night. Whilden won the year-end over Olympic swim champion Bobby Morrow, who was running anchor for Abilene Christian.
He finished 18 yards in front of Marrow, who coasted through the last 50 yards as he trailed the flying Wallowen by nine yards coming off the curve.
The mark erased an eight-year- old record held by Southern Cali-
fiania and equalled by Abilene Christian last year.
Morrow Most Outstanding
The most outstanding performer award went to Bobby Morrow, who linger up a record .09.3 in the 100-yard dash, spawn a 47.2 quarter mile on the Abilene Christian second place mile relay team and anchored the 440-yard relay team to a new record.
The Jayhawkers won their seventh distance medley relay crown in nine years as Jerry McNeal and Lowell Janzen delivered career best performances in a 9:56 effort.
After Mike Cummins had brought the Jayhawkers to third place, seven yards behind leading Oklahoma A & M on the opening 440-yard carry with a .49 effort, Janzen opened up a 12-yard edge with his fine run.
He handed the baton to Hal Long who ripped through a 3:05 three-second mile run to bring the Jaywalker up the yard-lead. Then McNeal took over.
Running against Texas University's national freshman mile record holder, 5-5 sophomore Joe Villareal, McNeal saw his margin paired to eight yards in the early stage of the race then sprinted home 55 yards in front.
This effort cut nine and six-tenths

seconds off Oklahoma's A & M's two-year-old record. The Jayhawkers also repeated last year's victory in the four-mile relay as they sped to a 17.19.5 mark, fourth fastest in meet history.
A team of Gay, Tom Shutka, McNeal and Long romped home 230 yards in front of second place Arkansas. KU took the two-mile relay with a 7:44 clocking as Lowell Janzen pulled away with 660 yards to go in the anchor lap to win by 15 yards.
The Jayhawkers' mile relay team finished in a fifth place tie with Colorado as the Texas team scorched a meet record of 3:12.8, clipping 7 off the old record set in 1952 by Texas A & M.
Dave Tams vaulted 13 feet to the for fourth place in the pole vault for the other Jayhawker points.
Hagge Captures
Zaharias Tourney
BEAUMONT, Tex. — (UP) — The nation's top female golfers, including Babe Zaharias Open champion Marlene Bauer Hagge, move on to Dallas this week for the $7,500 Dallas Open starting Thursday.
Mrs. Hage captured her second straight Zaharias Open title Sunday with a 72-78-72-222, four strokes better than Betty Dodd, her closest competitor, with a 226.
Fighting high winds and threatening skies, Mrs. Hagge pulled away from Ruth Jessen with only six extra putts over 18 holes for a final one-under-par 72.
In 1899 the Jayhawkers were held to five points in two games. They lost both games, one to the Kansas City YMCA, 16-5, and to KCAC, 19-5.
After 10 days of hard-earned rest, the Kansas Jayhawkers labor back to the battleground this afternoon to complete their spring football season. During the remaining thirteen practices Coach Chuck Mather is going to have to get his squad as ready as possible for the tough fall campaign.
Footballers Battle Weather To Get In Practice Sessions
Defense and fundamentals were the main items hit upon during March. According to Mather, speed and quickness, in accordance with the rapid introduction of new plays, will be stressed during the remaining drills.
Expected to return to the line-up are injured quarterbacks Wally Strauch, Elmhurst, Ill. junior; Bob Marshall, Warrensburg, Mo. sophomore, and center Bill Burnison, Ontario, Cal. freshman.
The weather has been a problem for the Jayhawkers this spring. Of nine practices originally scheduled, two have been washed out because of rain. Now the team has to cram 13 practices into 18 possible work-days.
Burnison, by the way, has been showing great promise all spring, and, although hampered by a
sprained ankle for a few days, is expected to improve rapidly.
The way things are going, Burni-
nson, Chet Vanatta, Bartlesville,
Okla sophomore, and the injured
John Wertzberger, Lawrence junior,
could capably fill the void at center
created by the departing seniors
Capt. Galen Wahlmeier and Frank
Black.
The Jayhawkers will operate five days this week. Practices remaining are on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Odds Drop On Round Table
AGUA CALIENTE, MEX. —(UP)
—Round Table's odds in the Kentucky Derby future books were slashed from 6-1 to 4-1 following the colt's impressive victory in Saturday's Bay Meadows Derby. Gen.
Duke remained the 6-5 favorite and Bold Ruler was the second choice at 3-1.
Since 1922 Kansas has placed 23 men on the all-American basketball team, the latest being Wilt Chamberlain who was selected this year.

G. Edward Georhart was graduated from the University of Delaware in June, 1956, with a B.S. in chemical engineering, and is now working for his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Lehigh. At Delaware, he was editor-in-chief of the yearbook, "Blue Hen," active in sports and secretary of the Engineering Council.
Ed Gearhart asks:
What does Du Pont mean by "on-the-job" training?
Denton Harris answers:
Training is pretty much full-time at DuPont, Ed. The main objective is to train men to reach their full capabilities as soon as possible. So we give the new man responsibility the day he arrives, and increase it as opportunities are available and he's ready for more responsibility.
That's the basic, guiding policy. But DuPont has many departments. And training has many facets.
through all areas of the production cycle. In others, where the technical phases are more involved, he may spend time in a laboratory or development group before moving on to production.
It works the same way in sales. The graduate may first learn the laboratory side of the products he's going to sell. Or he may start right out on learning selling techniques. That all depends on the products and markets involved.
In some plants, the college graduate being trained for supervision is moved
The same on-the-job principle applies to new men in specialized fields of research, development or design... including daily contacts with supervision, frequent lectures, discussions and conferences. Periodic changes in assignment, too.
It's carefully planned, individualized training, Ed. We've found it's the most effective way to broaden a man quickly. Du Pont is a growing organization. And men with leadership potential are always in demand.
Denton B. Harris joined Du Pont's Engineering Research Laboratory in June, 1952, after completing work for an M.S. in civil engineering at the University of Massachusetts. He's currently working on an unusual project—a broad study of the philosophy of design. The objective is to learn more about people's design preferences, and the trends behind new concepts in industrial design. This new assignment came after Denton gained several years of experience in various kinds of civil engineering at Du Pont.
