Top Track Stars Gather For Relays
A list of entrants reading something like "Who's Who in Track' are assembling to start the 33rd annual KU Relays. Entered in the meet will be top track men of the nation and home entrants who are famous throughout the world.
Ninety high schools, 21 universities, 26 colleges and seven junior colleges will be represented in this classic which has become one of the top track events in the nation. Assembled for the meet will be what meet director Bill Easton calls "the finest field in a number of years."
"There's no question about it we've certainly gotten the cream of the crop for the meet," Easton said.
Easton said the KU track squad would enter every event on the program except the 880-yard relay. He said he was very pleased with the way the weatherman had cooperated with the KU squad the past week. He said the boys have had a lot of outside work and all seem to be in top shape for the meet.
Relay records which may easily fall include the two mile relay, the broad jump, the discus, the mile relay, the two mile and four mile runs and the sprint and distance medley relays.
Included in the Relays will be three Olympic contenders. The Olympians will be KU's Al Oerter, Dave Lean and Eddie Southern.
Shelby Good Prospect
Jayhawker Eraie Shelby has a good chance of surpassing the broad jump record set by Ed Gordon of Iowa in 1931. The record is 25 feet $^{4^4}$-inches and Shelby has already gone over this mark twice this spring. Gordon's mark is the second oldest of all Relays records. If Shelby should beat it, it will mean he has done something three Olympians have failed to do.
It is thought that Olympic champion Al Oerter will have little
Denver Wins In Tenth, 8-6
By UNITED PRESS
Two homers in the top of the ninth sparked a Denver rally last night to give the Bears a tenth inning, 8-6, victory over Indianapolis in American Association competition.
In other league games, Omaha trounced Wichita, 13-7; Minneapolis defeated Louisville, 4-1; and Charleston downed St. Paul, 8-1.

At Louisville, Minneapolis scored three runs in the sixth to overcome a one run, third inning, Louisville lead.

Minor Sports At Kansas For The Non-Specialized
Don't forget the minor sports at KU. You may find one which is made for you.
John H. Giele, instructor in sociology and coach of KU's developing fencing team, offers this advice to students.
"Sports, like everything else, are highly specialized." he said in an interview Wednesday. "Only a certain number of individuals can fill these specialized positions in the major sports."
Students who do not qualify for football, basketball or track may find their niche in fencing, volleyball, wrestling or gymnastics, he said.
"With increasing urbanization we are moving away from the cow pasture sports toward the indoor activity."
The "cow pasture" sports are the space consuming games such as baseball and football.
The indoor sports of wrestling and gymnastics are the fastest increasing high school activities. "It is possible that wrestling and
gymnastics will be the next major sports at KU," he said.
"It is possible that wrestling and
"In our building program we will have to include a physical education building which will have adequate facilities and space to take care of those participating in indoor sports," he said.
Chilean Looms As Threat To Two Marks
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP)—A smooth-striding Chilean schooling in Texas looms as a serious threat to at least two National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics track records, NAIA spokesmen said today.
Ramon Sandoval, a freshman at Lamar Tech State at Beaumont, Tex., already owns the fastest mile recorded in the Lone State state this spring and his most recent performance was only three-tenths of a second off the NAIA mile record of 4:09.4.
The United States was divided into four time zones — Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific — in 1883.
Injury May Keep FlahertyFromRace
TULSA, Okla. — (UP) — An arm injury suffered in August 1956 may prevent Fat Flaherty from racing his Zink Special in the Memorial Day 500-mile auto speed classic at Indianapolis.
Flaherty drove a Zink Special to victory in the 1956 classic but later mangled his arm in a race at Springfield, Ill.
