Big Field Expected for Kans Relays at KU

With the twelfth annual Kansas Relays less than three weeks away entries from universities and colleges are arriving at the KU athletic office.

First entry is Washington University, with 16 men, while Washington State, Texas, Occidental, Oklahoma Baptists and Kirksville Teachers also plan to participate in various events.

At a Lawrence Relays Club meeting in the Hotel Eldridge grill room, members discussed ideas to improve the Kansas Relays set for April 21. Coach H W Harpgiss and Glenn Cunningham spoke briefly as plans were outlined for a shorter program, better announcing, fewer officials and contestants on the field, and less time between events. One proposal called for running the javelin and discus in flights to cut measuring after each toss. The group expressed enthusiasm and aims to help the University make the twelfth annual games the best yet.
