Relays Group Hard At Work
"Relays 1957" may seem a long way off to most college students, but not to the 18 or 20 members of the Kansas Relays Committee.
The Relays are held in late April, but the committee's work begins in early December when entry blanks are mailed out.
Committeemen must spend their spring vacation in compiling entry lists and working on details of the meet. They also prepare scorecards and operate the telephone system at the Relays.
The committee is made up of students who enter KU as freshmen and serve until they are graduated. Usually, between six and eight freshmen are selected
each year to take the place of graduating members.
The group is headed by two senior managers who are chosen for merit, interest and experience in aiding with track meets. One of the managers is in charge of the Relays Parade which is held during the 2-day meet.
Dr. Edwin R. Elbel, professor of physical education, is coordinator and faculty adviser of the committee.
All-time attendance and receipt records for a baseball game were set in the fifth contest of the 1948 world series between the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Braves on October 10, when 86,288 people saw the Braves win 11 to 5.
Evans Is Leader In Offense Record
Ray Evans, Kansas' 1947 All- American halfback, tops the all-time offensive leaders in all three departments, single game, season and career.
Evans gained a total of 266 yards against Missouri in 1942. Following close behind is Wade Stinson, halfback, who, in 1950 made 239 yards against Utah and Jerry Robertson, quarterback, who gained 236 yards against Oklahoma A&M in 1951, Evans' highest season record was 1410 yards in 1942. During his career Evans rolled up a total of 3799 yards. Second in this department is Charlie Hoag's 2301 and third is the 2081 yards made by Dick Gilman, who graduated in 1949.
