Weede named college division referee for Relays
Dr. Garfield W. Weede, legendary former track coach and athletic director at Pittsburg State, today was named college division referee of the 45th Kansas Relays April 16-18.
Affectionately known as "Doc" to hundreds of athletes who competed for him and to countless friends in the collegiate sports world, Weede will be 90 years old
next fall (November 26).
This will be the second Kansas Relays officiating assignment for Weede, who was meet referee in 1950.
closely followed the fortunes of the school with which he is so much identified.
Weede retired as the Gorillas' track coach in 1951 to wind up a 32-year career at the southeast Kansas college that began in 1919. Since then he's continued to make his home in Pittsburg and has
Since retirement Doc has returned frequently to the Kansas Relays where his teams won 22 baton titles and seven individual events.
Weede's Pittsburgh squads won numerous championships, but the one he prized the most came in the early 1930's when the Gorillas bagged the team title at the Central Collegiate in Milwaukee. Weede's team was extended an invitation by the host Marquette coach, who shrewdly figured his
squad might win the meet, if he could find a way to keep Notre Dame from winning the mile relay.
Pittsburg beat Notre Dame in the relay, alright, but Doc's charges also won several other events and wound up with the team championship.
Weede graduated from Sterling College in 1901 and went on to Pennsylvania to earn a degree in dentistry in 1906. Eligibility rules being what they were in those days, Weede continued playing football at Penn and was chosen
at end on Walter Camp's 1004 All-
America team.
Doc never practiced dentistry. He began coaching at Washburn in 1906. Three years later he switched to Sterling and coached there until 1917.

Jaycats advance to AAU semifinals
COLUMBIA, S.C. (UPI)—Former University of Kansas star Rodger Bohnsteih's torrid shooting led the Lawrence Jaycats, a team comprised of ex-KU and K-State cagers, to a 122-92 romp over Burger Chef of Indianapolis, Ind. in the National AAU basketball championships Monday.
Bohnenstehl scored 34 points while hitting on 16 of 19 shots from the floor in the quarterfinal contest. It was the second straight day in the AAU tourney that he scored more than 20 points. He tallied 20 Sunday afternoon to guide the Jaycats to a 93-72 thrashing of the San Diego Jets in their tournament opener.
Jamie Thompson, a former Wichita State standout, tossed in 22 points and picked off 16 rebounds for the Jaycats.
Burger Chef was led by Ed Schilling, who hit for 25 points.
Lawrence streaked to a 55-42 half time lead and continued the second half blistering to down the
Burger Chef club that pulled a surprising upset over the Akron Goodyear Wingfoots in the opening round.
Lawrence's victory assured them of at least a fourth place finish and advanced into the semifinals of the AAU tournament.
