Many Records Should Fall
By UNITED PRESS
A classy field of 21 universities and 26 colleges opened firing in the 33rd annual Kansas Relays today with heated competition and record-shattering times expected in several events.
Teams from Texas, Michigan Kansas, and Oklahoma were viewed as likely standouts in the 2-day event. The closest competition may come in the distance medley, an event broken down into 440, the 880, three-quarter-mile and the mile distances.
Hougson, a sophomore, clocked a 4:05 anchor lap at the Texas Relays to bring the Sooners home in 9:54.4, almost 10 seconds under the Kansas Relays record.
Texas and Kansas ruled the medley event a year ago, but Oklahoma, paced by South African miler Gail Hodgson, has already defeated both teams in 1958.
Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Michigan are favored in the 2-mile with any of the four capable of
Orioles Take Senators, 4-0
By UNITED PRESS
Everyone thought Paul Richards had gone crazy when he bargained for a pitcher with a slipped disc. But that same pitcher—southpaw Jack Harshman—enabled the Baltimore Orioles to slip quietly into first place in the American League Thursday.
Harshman, whose back was such a question mark that he didn't sign a formal Baltimore contract until last week, vindicated Richards' judgement last night with a relief performance that earned him the victory in a 4-0 triumph over the Washington Senators.
Wearing a special corset for support, Harsham came to the rescue of rookie Milt Pappas in the fourth inning with two men on and one out. He limited Washington to one single the rest of the way to gain his first win for the Orioles since they got him from the White Sox last Dec. 2.
Home runs by Gus Triendos and Brooks Robinson helped the Orioles to their second straight victory which left them the only unbeaten team in the league.
The Yankees defeated the Red Sox, 3-1; the White Sox edged the Tigers. 4-3, and the Indians nipped the Athletics, 3-2.
The lightly-regarded Cubs bounced to the top of the National League standings with a 1-3 victory over the Cardinals; the Giants beat the Dodgers, 7-4, and the Braves defeated the Pirates. 6-1.
Dolson, Welch Win Trophies
William C. Holt, Holland, Mich.
graduate student and Fred H. Faas,
Mission junior, won the runner-up
trophies. Nineteen teams entered
the tournament, held in the Kansas
Union Ballroom.
Trophies were given Wednesday to four men in the year's last SUA sponsored table tennis tournament. Edward Dolson, Kansas City, Mo and Kenneth R. Welch, Prairie Village won first in the doubles. Both are sophomores.
April 25 the KU table tennis team will play a rematch with Kansas State at Manhattan. K-State beat KU 6-1 when they played here in November.
Ottawa Romps Over Bethel in Track
OTTAWA, Kan. — (UP)— Ottawa University took a 93-38 track victory Thursday from Bethel College.
Nick Ganguish of Gibbons, Neb.
set a new Ottawa record with a
discus throw of 146 feet, $2_{1/2}$ inches.
The old mark, was 144 feet, 10 inches,
set in 1952. Ottawa swept the javelin,
oole vault, 220-yard dash, discus
and oule relay events.
surpassing last year's meet record of 7:23.3 erected by Kansas.
Orlando Hazley, Oklahoma State sprint star credited with a 9.6 time in the 100-yard dash, led his Cowboy mates to the year's best time in the 880-yard relay, but Oklahoma State 1:22.9 time could be challenged by Nebraska or Texas. Texas one year-old record of 1:24.2 seem doomed regardless.
Individual competition, which annually ranks second in this relaies event, will be highlighted by the showings of Olympic games discutitist. Al Oerter. The Kansas University giant recently became the first man to sail the discus over 200 feet, but the mark may not stand because of a pronounced ground slope.
Texas and middle-distance ace Eddie Southern dipped within a second of the intercollegiate mile relay record and appears a certainty to erase? Oklahoma State's 3-year-old mark of 3:11.6.
The broad jump mark, oldest on the Kansas Relays' book, is likely to tumble under the assault of Ernie Shelby, also of the host school.
Amazing A's Kick-off At Home
KANSAS CITY. Mo.-(UP) The Kansas City Athletics kickoff what could well be their most successful season in the midlands today after taking two of three games in Cleveland.
Ancient Micky Vernon spoiled the Cleveland finale Thursday by doubling in the ninth inning for a 3-2 Indian victory. Despite the loss, manager Harry Craft's rejuvenated Athletics flew home last night with their high morale apparently unshaken.
Craft plans to use veteran Alex Kellner in today's clash with Chicago. Al Lonez will counter with Jim Wilson, a 15-8 performer a year ago. Kellner, 6-5 in 1957, was brilliant in shocking the St. Louis Cardinals for six innings in an exhibition start last weekend.
Vernon's blow, which scored Carroll Hardy and Preston Ward with
the needed two runs, gave young Jim (Mudset) Grant Cleveland's victory yesterday in Grants' first major league try. It also dimmed the tremendous series enjoyed by Bob Cerv.
The stocky former Nebraska athlete had seven hits in the 3-game Ohio stand, driving in nine runs. He singled in the A's first run Thursday and accounted for the second with his second homer. Cerv drove in five runs in a one-man show Wednesday.
