Also Featured; Many
Marks in Danger
By the Associated Press.

LAWRENCE, Kans., April o.
One world and seven meet marks
are in danger today at the annual
revision of the Kansas relays record
book. but two individual events in
which no overhauling is forecast
hold most of the spectator interest.
One is the special mile run be-
tween Glenn Cunningham and
Chuck Fenske. The other is Mozel
Ellerbe's duel with E. Wilbur Greer
of Michigan State in the 1OO-yard
dash. Ellerbe is from Tuskegee In
stitute.
North Texas Teachers and its
Rideout twins hope to amputate Is
seconds from the college distance
medley mark. The Lone Star four
some. which set the world record of
1884 last year. considers the 1O:24.1
hung up by Wichita (Kans.) Uni
versity in 1881 a mere warmup.
Texans Much in Evidence.
Texans are expected to perpetuate
four other changes.
Fred Wolcott, once timed in 1879
seconds for the high hurdles, has
his own 14.2 Kansas record to sur
pass. His presence makes the Rice
Owls potent threats to the 4O.5 and
1927 figures In the 440-yard and
sprint medley relays. Rice set the
medley mark year ago.
Beefus Bryan of Texas SKINNED
over the bar in the pole vault at a
quarter Inch under IA feet a year
ago and comes back to remedy the
oversight. His chief threats are
Ed Thistlethwaite of Northwestern
and Don Bird of Kansas.
Two Midwestern stars are picked
as potential record breakers. Elmer
(One-man Gang Hackney of Kan
sas State pushed the shot 81 feet
in practice this week-far beyond
the 51-feet-6-inch record set by
Nebraska's southpaw Sam Francis
In 1887.
Attacks Discus Mark.
Edsel Wibbels of Nebraska needs
toss of more than 154 feet to erase
the discus mark which has stood
since 1895. He does 1t consistently
in rehearsals.
Iowa University's four senior
quarter -milers may break into the
record-making picture in the mile
relay. They have their sights set
at 3:15. The record is 3:161.
The decathlon athletes complete
their task today. w. L. Clapham of
Oklahoma A. & M. topped the field
with 3,643 points at the end of yes
terday's five events.
E. Lee Todd, 24-year-old Grant,
Nebr., school teacher, is second with
3,499 and remains the favorite with
four Of his pet events ahead.

Blockade OF British And
French Foreign Concessions
Is Becoming Very Serious
my ASSOCIATED Press,

of an American, a British and a
Japanese representative. This, it
is conceded, would place the
United States member of the
board in virtual full control with
mediation powers.
Britain is considering economic
reprisals against Japan if the
blockade continues, although
much depends upon ultimate re-
action of Uncle Sam in the crisis.
1t is felt that the United States
cannot much longer refrain from
sending strong protestations
against the blockade.
Information from Toxic states
that the Japs are expecting a
showdown on the whole subject
of British-Japanese influence in
the Far-east. Much indignation
is expressed by japanese in con-
nection with British press re-
leases of "exagerations" in the
matter of alleged stripping of
British subjects in the foreign
concession by japanese soldiers.
Toxic denies categorically all of
the charges and further states,
that the press is deliberately
building up foreign opinion
against her side of the Tientsin
story.

ANSWER UNFAIR
LABOR CHARGES
"A FAIR WAGE FOR EVERY
WORKING MAN" TOLD FOR
EIGN EXHIBITORS AT FAIR
,By Associated Press,

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 16.-
Labor leaders in this city today
answered the charges of unfair
tactics employed by members of
United States labor contracted
by foreign exhibitors at the
Worlds Fair.
"A fair wage for every work
ing man" is the answer to the
whole controversy, according to
these labor leaders. The ques-
ton arose when exhibitors from
foreign nations maintained that
funds ran low when double
charges for labor were necessi-
tated by the practice of hiring
American labor to stand by and
do nothing whenever foreign
artisans were employed.
