The Missouri Timers will have a' c:new football coach for the 1032 pseason and Gwinn Henry, theirclever little mentor, is seeking: newfields. | fThe passing of Henry, forecast tiin this column some months ago, i c‘ ‘ “ davwas officially confirmed Saturday and it is definitely known that1, j, Missouri is after a new coach ana I ^ that Henrv seeks a new job. j s Nine years ago Henry took over T the Tiger gridiron helm and since he has been head skipper the Bengal? have made an enviable rec- . ord. Poor material in 1930 and hir ’ Tillness last year resulted in medio- j ere seasons, thus leaving rather a! Iiahad taste after his previous brilli-1t1ant vears.____Henrv and Coach Bill Hargiss ofKansas were former coaching ri-!t vals at Emporia, where Hargissjtcoached the teachers until he came€to Kr I*, four years ago. Henry was rhe college of Emporia tutor j aand he frequently defeated his ri-}t '■al, altho in the Big Six Coach 1 Hargiss more or less evened matters.Henrv will be missed in the Biand they've played the sort of foot-8ix. His teams have been gooball the paying customers want to(1Ic]5Jsee.Pew* will forget the Flamank toClark passing combination, the shifty Collings, Stuber and others. Given good material, Henry can turn out a team that goes places.His Bengal elevens used to trip 1 ^ the impressive Nebraskans when no other conference crew was able to turn the trick.lt;iWhile Glenn Cunningham, promising young K. U. distance runner was establishing a new school record for the half mile. Saturday and]also bettering the Big Six conference mark for that distance, Ben Eastman, the Stanford flash, wagsetting a new* world’s record for the same distance at Palo Alto.Cunningham, in the Haskell meet, turned in a 1:54.5 for the 880, while Eastman w*ent him 3.2 second better for a 1:51.3 and a new world record. The time made111(1bv the Javhawkcr, however, was sufficeint to better Lowell 11 in-shaw’s K. V. mark of 1:57 and theBig Six record of 1:56.The Elkhart runner, for whom abrilliant feature is predicted by Coach Brutus Hamilton, was clock cd in 56 seconds at the quarter.Eastman, a sure Olympic bet and the racer who last week established a new world’s mark oflt;16.4 in the 440-yard dash, ran thefirst 220 in 24 seconds flat and thequarter in 53.3.Brutus Hamilton apparently hasanother good track team on Mt. Oread.His Jayhawkers flashed all-around superiority to hand Haskell a 105 to 26 defeat Saturday, performing minus Gridley, Plumley and Ross, a trio of capable letter-men.Kansas seems well fortified innearly all events and should make a showing not only in the relays but in dual meets and the conference affair.Interest in track has increased since Hamilton came to K. U. but it still falls short of bringing out the crowds such worthy track performance merits. The Jayhawk-ers are a classy lot and their meetsstart promptly and are run off ontime. Fans who fail to drop out and see them are missing something.F.A.E.
