-(R - Forty-two colleges and
universities have sent their best
track athletes to the nineteenth
annual Kansas relays but almost
everywhere you look today it's
Indiana VS.. Texas.
They rated as the ones to beat
in the medley relay and each is
given an even choice in one
other four-man race, Texas in
the 880-yard relay and the Big
Ten Hoosiers in the two-mile.
Both universities also present
outstanding discus throwers.
Last June Archie Harris of In
diana, won the national collegi-
ate crown and Big Jack Hughes
of Texas was second.
They are both here to con-
tinue their argument. Until last
week Harris, negro end of the
Hoosier eleven, boosted the best
mark with toss of 1855 feet
5A inches. But that was before
Hughes lost the platter with q
heave of l67 feet, pa inches.
Much of the record breaking,
however, depends on the wealth

peratures in the low sos and
possible snow for this afternoon.
He relented later and saw occa-
sional showers and q top tenn
perature of So.
Although Earle Meadows, for
mer Southern Californian, will
try for world record In the pole
vault and a quartet of mile run
ners, topped by John Munski of

ana, will try to make the spec
tators forget Glenn Cunning

unerowned Champion

OBOSTON, April 19-(RMerry
Mike Kaplan, clever Boston bat
tie. who had lost but two of his
48 ring starts, rated himself as
the uncrowned welterweight
champion today as q result of his
decisive 10-round victory over
titlist Fritzie Zivic in an over
weight match.
While admitting that he was
out-classed by the merry Mike
before q 9,092 crowd at the
Boston Garden last night, Zivic
expressed confidence that Kap-
Ian would not be the one to
strip him of the title he gained
from Henry Armstrong.
"Kaplan fought q smart fight
and did pile up enough points to
win the decision" Zivic said.
But he never would have been
able to escape me over the IS
round route and that's the dis
lance it will be when I put up
my title"
, Promoter Rip Valenti had as
sured Kaplan he would give him
a shot at the welterweight title
in summer bout here if he
evened his score with Zivic.
The latter, who gained q split
decision over the Bostonian in
Philadelphia about ID months
ago, expressed himself as eager to
accommodate both If the terms
were satisfactory.
While topping Zivic in seven
of their 10 rounds, Kaplan en-
ployed a singing left jab, COM
bined with a stance that kept
him out of the range of the full
power of the champions power
full fists. The Boston boy forced
the battle at almost every stage
and escaped harm repeatedly by
tying his opponent in knots dur
ing their many clinches.

If the volume of betting for New
Yorks FIVE race tracks continues

the total for the current season
may hit the amazing mark of
Sl40,000,000, Jump of about
40 per cent over last year.
Last year, New York.'s first

eliminated the hook by turn
ing my left hand q bit to the
left, thus seeing that il was not
so much toward the top of the
shaft.
When the left hand is turned
toward the right too far, it
blocks wrist action at impact.
Before the reader becomes
confused about the open and
closed face, permit me to explain
that when the face of the club
is open at the top of the swing
II must be closed before impact.
It might be said that I am q
closed-face player and an OPEN
face hitter. I seldom hook.
An open face at the top of the
swing has the face of the club
at right angles to the ground.
A closed face at the top of the
swing has the face of the club
turned a bit skyward.
A closed ace at impact has
the face turned inward toward
the ground. The reverse is true
of an open face.
OPEN FACE AT IMPACT
TO HOLD TIGHT GREEN
An open face at impact i'm

a fade. This is preferred when
an attempt is made to hold q

suits in a hook or a smothered
shot.
l am a closedface player from
the No. 7 iron up and the face
of my club is so percent closed
at the top of the swing.
In this way the ball is hit
lower and thus is better con-
trolled in bad weather, particu-
larly when il is windy.
Lawson Little offers a striking
example of this. The National

Baiher Track,
Tennis Teams
Both Defeated
Thinelads Suffer
Worst Defect in
Modern Times

In the wake of sound thumpings
given. the track and tennis teams
yesterday by Monroe and Crosse
Pointe, respectively.
Official records are lacking,
but Monroe's 81 2-3 to 16 Ia
conquest of Coach Theron
Tommy" Tompkins' thinclads
apparently Is the worst beating
administered to a Bather track
team in modern times. The dual
meet was held at Monroe.
Coach Bob Beal's tennis team,
meantime, found little solace in
winning only one of nine
matches from a brilliant Crosse
Pointe team. Bob Pentz, gang
ling Bather sophomore, gave the
Bathers their only win on Pointe
soil when he defeated Tom Ere
land in straight sets, SO, 81.
Sport historians will recall,
however, that Crosse Pointe ten
mis- teams have several times de-
feated the Bathers in early sea-
son competition only to have the
situation reversed later on.
When Tompkins indicated
early this season that he had
unearthed little in track talent,
he apparently knew whereof he
spoke. The Bathers failed to win
a single first in facing what is
perhaps Monroe's best team in
years.
Henry Butler won seconds in
the broad and high jumps and a
third In the century to pace
Mount Clemens with seven
points.
Other points were scored
when Bob White placed third in
the high hurdles, Jim Krause
third in the mile, Bill White
third in the 200-yard low hur-
dies, Leonard Kraft second in
the half-mile, Bob Godfrey Sec
ond in the shot. and Corn Wal
tiers second in the 40.
Monroe swept the 220-yard
dash and the pole vault and won
the relay to complete the route.
Most observers predicted the
green Bather team will improve
rapidly as the season progresses.
Don't sell the tennis team
short, because most of the de-
feated Bathers pressed their op-
ponents to the utmost before
bowling.
Dave Silberg, No. 1 Bather
singles player, forced Bob Kun
dinger to 81, ga before bowling.
Mike Ware won from Warren
Krause, So, rs, in another good
match, but the sharpest compe-
tition came when Gerry Char
beneau forced Bud Lester to
three sets before losing.
Charbeneau won the first set,
6-3, and Lester the second by
the same score. Lester won the
match by taking the long third
set, l1-9. John Park, of Crosse
Pointe, defeated Gordon Kukuk,
81, 81, and Bob Ireland de-
feated Hiene Morgan, ST, 8-6,
8-6. in other singles matches.
In doubles competition, Bob
Reese and Bob Bridges defeated
Dick Donaldson and Karl Kolker
in an interesting match, 8-6, 81;
George Miller and George Boyer
won over Roy Middlestat and
