LEE BREAKS OWN MARK IN ROAD RACE
DU Team Win Cup
Kappa Sigs Second
Sigma Phi's Third
By BILL GALT
• POUNDING ACROSS the finish line 17.6 seconds better
than his last year's record, sturdy Doug Lee captained
the Delta Upsilon team to its second successive cross-country
victory at noon yesterday.
Birds Tackle Stacys Saturday Nite 9 pm

53-30 In Second Start
To Retain Top Spot
By MAURY SOWARD
Close behind Lee, ran Bob Davidson, Sigma Phi Delta entry, who
was just beaten out in a last minute sprint on the last turn of tho
track.
It was perfect cross-country
weather for the crowd of over 500,
who had assembled in the Stadium
to witch close to one-hundred
competitors start and finish the
gruelling test—the moat popular of
the intra-mural sports.
Placing next to the D.U.'s in team
standing was the Kappa Sigma
team, whose runners came in
grouped around twentieth place.
Behind the Kappa Sip in team
order are Sigma Phi Delts and XI
Omega.
The dramatic Incident of the day
waa suppUed by young Kenny Mcpherson, a student or the University KU1 High School, who on being
granted permission to run in the
race trained for a week and a
half and ran third—Just "behind
Lee and Davidson.
There waa leas of a spread this
year than last—the two and three-
quarter-mUe teat run over quar-
er of a minute faster than last year
and waa made slightly tougher by
reversing the route. Said Doug
Lee aa he leaned against Bob
Davidson for the Photographer "It
was the toughest rave I ever ran."
The race, organized by M. L. Van
VUet and Harry Franklin, ran off
vary smoothly. There wsa no confusion at either start or finish, a
coral effect being made by hurdlea
at the end of the course to make
sure of correct order in taking
results.
The victory marks the second
successive win for Uie D.U.'s. Last
year Doug Lee came in first and
Davidson second—the same order
ss in this year's meet. Last year,
too, a dark horse place among the
first finishers. He waa Billy Husband, who placed after Lee, and
was comparatively unknown on the
campus. This year of course the
.great unknown was Kenny Mc-
Pherson.

e VARSITY'S HIGH-FLYING Thunderbirds swarmed all
over Air Force Wednesday night at the Varsity gym, to
come up with their second straight triumph of the week-old
season. Varsity were determined to redeem themselves after
their unimpressive debut last Saturday, and proceded to
out-shoot, out-run, and out-pass the scrappy Fliers.
"•Tomorrow night, they play the __________________________
feature game at V.A.C. gym when
they take on Nate Singer's Stacy
club. If they scuttle the Shoemen,
they will be In the ooay position of
having beaten every team in the
league except Shores and wtil be
solidly perched at the top of the
league ladder. On the basis of
Wednesday's dash, they should
have Uttle trouble with Stacy's, as
the latter club are rated no better
than Lauries (another Varsity victim), by the five league coaches.....
OAME CLOSER THAN SCORE
The game last Wednesday wan
considerably closer than the 53-30
score indicates. For three periods
the Thunderbirds led the Air
Force boys, but not by anything
Uke tne huge margin they finished
up with. The reason tor this is
found in Coach M. L. Van Vliet's
latest strategy which ls to divide
his club Into two teams and play
each team for half the game. The
FUers had a hard enough time
battling one Varsity team but to
engage two of them, a fresh one
every quarter, was a Uttle too
much.
After dropping behind 13-8 at
the end of tiie first quarter, Air
Force played on even terms with
the CoUeglans for the next two
periods, to go into the last canto
behind 32-24. In this last session,
the men of Mayers finaUy wilted
under the .terrific pressure that
they had sustained and vainly
watched Varsity pour in 21 points
to the FUers' 8.
TWO COMPLETE SQUADS
As mentioned above, Mr. Van
VUet divided his boys into two
squads. The first one of these
(guards StUweU and Yorke, centre
Bakken, and forwards Sykes and
Hayward) played the first quarter
and roUed up thirteen points to
their opponents' six. The other
five (guards Franklin and Johnson,
centre Kermode, and forwards
Barton and Robertson, came out
for the second quarter and gathered six points to the Air Forces'
Ave.
The third session saw the return
of the starting five who played on
even terms with the Airmen, each
side getting thirteen points. The
fourth quarter completed the nosedive of the Fliers.
It would be hard to pick the Individual star of the Thunderbirds.
They ail played well, no man getting leas than three points. It the
time ever comes, when Coach Van
VUet has to pick five regulars, he
wUl have no easy task. There wm
only one-point difference between
the points picked up by his two
lines, Messrs. Franklin, Johnson,
Kermode, Barton, and Robertson
picking up twenty-seven points to
the twenty-six gathered bj Stilwell, Yorke, Bakken, Sykes, and
Hayward.
e
SHUTTLEWORTH TOPS
There was no question as to who
starred for the Air Force. Big
Jim Shuttleworth received that
honor with ridiculous ease. He
sunk one-third ot the twenty-one
field goals he attempted and converted four of his eight free shots.
He was the one thorn in the Varsity flesh and Kermode and Bakken, who aren't exactly slouches,
couldn't touch him. The rest of the
Mayers' men weren't much problem to their Varsity cheeks, although they were dead game and
hustled aU the way.
