ACES COMPETE
AT LAWRENCE
Haskell Indian Leads Decath.
lon-Difficult Marks Test
Track Mettle

Lawrence, Kas., April 21.-R-
Eager to start the middlewest out
door track season, upwards Of 1000
athletes from 100 institutions were
here for the sixth annual Kansas
relays today.
Half of the big ten teams were
represented, along with Missouri
Valley and southwestern colleges.
Of the big ten entries, Illinois and
Iowa were favored to place highest
while Oklahoma hoped to uphold
valley honors. Texas and the Texas
Aggies were the leading contenders
from the southwestern territory.
In addition to those squads, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern,
Notre Dame, Creighton and Mar
quette, sent their stars south to aid
in the seasoning process prepara-
tory to the Penn relays and Olymp-
ic tryouts. The six relays and ten
special events, all presenting diff
cult marks, offered plenty of range
for the Olympic candidates.
OF the Olympic events, competi-
ton was particularly keen in the
decathlon with fourteen entered.
Vernon Kennedy, Warrensburg, Mo-,
teachers college, who appeared as a
dark horse at the Penn relays in 1927
to win with 7236.5575 points, was a
favorite.
Indian Beats Kennedy
Kennedy, however, was only able
to place second in the first part of
the decathlon yesterday. Wilson
Charles, 19-year-old Haskell Indian,
placed first in the 100 meter run
third in the shot put, ninth in the
high jump, second in the 400 meter
run and third in the broad jump to
lead with -,700.6614 points. Ken
nedy had 3666.8974.
Coach Bob Simpson Of Iowa state
has gone after the laurels in the
two-mile relay by entering two
teams, while Iowa has entered its
famed squads in the half mile and
mile relays. Illinois was out to take
the four mile relay and Notre Dame,
credited with the record Of 41.6 in
the quarter mile relay last year,
was favored to repeat.
Summaries and descriptions Of
the feature events will be broadcast
by KFKU, University Of Kansas
station, operating on 1880 kilocycles,
or 254.1 meters. Broadcasting
starts at 12:40 p. m. central stan
