ALPHA GAMS WIN
'500' messy race
Stopwatches were clocking races other than the KU Relays events this weekend, and one of the messiest races was undoubtedly the Phi Psi "500"—the great tricycle event.
The winner of the "500" was the four-girl Alpha Gamma Delta entry. The time was 1:37 flat. This broke the course record set at the first "500" last year also by the Alpha Gams. If they successfully defend their trophy next year, they will keep it.
THE COURSE, so to speak, covered the Phi Psi parking lot. The hazards included the water hazard, which was nothing more than a sprinkler hanging upside down from a coat rack, and the egg swing.
Then farther down the course each girl had to carry her tri-cycle over a hurdle and give the trike to the second member of her team.
The second girl took the trike over mattresses and around luminouses barrels. She then got her trike through the mud pool
as best she could—riding through was impossible.
THE NEXT HAZARD was handling a pingpong ball to a referee. The difficulty was that the ball was in a pie plate of whipped cream and the girls had to hand it to the Phi Psi referee with her teeth.
The third and fourth member of each team raced through the same obstacles, only backwards. The first bicycle back to the starting line was the winner.
The winning teams of the four separate heats were the Alpha Phis, the Gamma Phi Betas, Ellsworth and the Alpha Gamma Deltas. The winner of each heat received a trophy.
Although a sweat shirt and jeans or jean shorts were the predominant racing outfit, several girls had special techniques designed to help win the race. One girl went without shoes in hopes of better tricycle control. Another contestant wore a shower cap.

HOUSTON—(UPI)—Marcel L. ReDurder, a synthetic heart keeping him alive, should be opening his eyes "pretty soon" his wife said today. She said her husband, who underwent history-making surgery last Thursday, looked better.
Artificial heart still beats

SHE SAID DOCTORS told her that her husband should be regaining consciousness soon.
Mrs. Edna DeRudder, 60, appearing in better spirits, said she wanted to tell her husband his geraniums and African violets at their Westville, Ill., home are being neglected.
Dr. Michael E. DeBakey said Sunday that DeRudder showed signs of recovering from the brain damage he suffered in a five-hour operation. DeBakey said another problem had cropped up—"some decrease of kidney function."
The 65-year-old Illinois coal miner has been unconscious since the operation Thursday morning in which a device was implanted in his chest to assist his heart.
