Athletes receive awards
Ken Wertzberger, Lawrence sophomore, and Glenn Cunningham jr., Leon freshman, are the recipients of new athletic scholarships, it was announced today by Wade Stinson, athletic director.
Wertzberger, a 5-11, 205-pound football guard, will receive the Fred C. "Bunny" Black scholarship, named in memory of the former KU halfback who died recently.
Black played from 1929-31 under coach Bill Hargiss. In 1930, he was a member of KU's Bix Six championship team. Hargiss, a Lawrence resident, terms Black "a little scooter."
ESTABLISHED BY Mrs. Black and son, Tommy, both of Lawrence, the annual grant goes to an outstanding athlete from Lawrence High School.
The second scholarship is awarded to an outstanding track athlete from the Wichita area. Cunningham jr., son of the former world mile record holder, will receive the Jim Hershberger grant.
THE WICHITA OILMAN ran the 440,880, and anchored the KU track team to the mile relay championship at the 1951 Big Eight indoor meet.
At present, Cunningham is running for KU's freshman cross-country team. He won the state Class B high school mile championship last year.
CRANE GROUNDED
FORT COLLINS, Colo.—(UPI)
—Canus, a 2-year-old whooping crane, was grounded today.
An Interior Department spokesman said Canus' right wing was removed at the elbow after two previous operations failed to restore its usefulness, and it proved to be a detriment to his balance.
Canus was hurt two years ago when he collided with a dead spruce tree in one of his earliest flying ventures.
