Hooper in New Shotput Mark, Drake Relays By JEHRT LISKA DES MO3NES, April 25 Shot-putter Darrow Hooper, 220- pounder from Texas A shattered a 19-year-old meet record and Illinois hogged team laurels as the 44th Drake Relays ended today in rain sprinkled Drake Stadium. Hooper, runner-up in the 1952 Olympics, produced the only new mark of the two-day meet with a 55-foot, 4H inch toss which erased the 1934 record of by Jack Torrance of Louisiana State. Hooper emerged as the meet's only double winner, taking the discus yesterday with a flip of 164 feel inches. Illinois produced three relay winners and three individual champions to steal the spotlight from a Georgetown-Kansas feud which fizzled. The nationally televised meet had its 25-event program hard hit by Friday's downpour and today's persistent, wind-borne showers, although a closing crowd of 7,000 sat it out A much-publicized distance medley meeting between Georgetown and Kansas proved a dud when the Eastern quartet won by more than 100 yards over the Wes Santee anchored Kansans in 10:06.

Kansas was defending champion in the event as it was in yester- four-mile event in which Georgetown also scored a runaway victory. Georgetown and Kansas were both scratched from the two-mile re-lay which Illinois won in 7:46.4, but Kansas captured the closing university mile relay in 3:18.4. Illinois also won the 480-yard -shuttle hurdle and 440 relays, placed second in the university 880 and had these individual champions: two-miler Walt Jewsbury (in yesterday's competition); 100- yard dash man Willie Williams; and 120-high hurdler McNulty. The 120 high hurdle winner first was announced as Willard Thomson, also of Illinois, but two hours later, meet officials declared McNulty the victor in :14.4, following a study of finish movies. In the college competition, Abilene (Tex.) Christian won three 440, 880 and mile Loyola of Chicago, North Texas State and San Diego State to share the three other college division laurels.

Abilene'! half-mile quartet, anchored by George Adrian, had a better winning time than the uni- vervty division champion, Houston. Abilene was clocked in 1:28,4 compared with Houston's 1:28.5. Hooper'! record-breaking heave came on his next to last toss. The big Texan now has scored discus and shot-put sweeps in the Drake, Texas and Kansas relays this year and in 1951. Georgetown's victory in the-uni- versfty distance medley came with surprising ease when the third Kansas runner, Dick Wilson, faded in his three-quarter of a mile stint, leaving Santee some -140 yards behind Georgetown's Charley Capoz- roli entering the closing one-mile leg.

Santee, running third in the mile relay, reeled off an :47.4 quarter to clinch a Kansas victory. Oklahoma made a battle of it, but- lost second on a disqualification for switching lanes. The other relay winners today were North Texas State in the college sprint medley' and San Diego State in the college: two- mile. Loyola of Chicago yesterday won the college distance medley. Other individual winner! were Ray McConnell of Drake in the mile, with a.

DES MOINES, April 25 Ufl Georgetown soundly defeated Kansas, the defending champion, in the university distance medley event at the Drake Relays today. Bleak skies and a brisk wind prevailed as the two-day meet reached its climax with a 19-event program. Georgetown's quartet of Vince Kelly at 440, Carl Joyce at SOO. Joe La Pierre at three-quarters of a mile, and Charley Capozzoli at one mile, finished more than 100 yards ahead of Kansas in a creditable 10:06.

"Gee, it's great to be back," the new coach of the Senators said.

"I feel like a bird that's been let out of the cage." Manush, one" of the great hitters in the golden days of baseball when Heinle Manush Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Al Simmons, Bill Terry, Paul Waner, Mel Ott, Hack Wilson and others were striking fear into the hearts of pitchers, returned to the Senators last week succeeding the late Clyde Milan. "I've been back only a few days," he "But I've already noticed some changes since I was up here. Take this park for in stance. It's quite different from the one in which I. played back in 1936.

There was no right field wing in the grandstand then. And the bleachers extended from one foul line to the other. Many was the time I had my back to those bleacher walls and stood helplessly watching those golf shots of Rum's sail over my head." Manush was no slouch himself when it came to swinging a bat. A line drive hitter, Heinle amassed a torrid .330 lifetime batting mark embracing 16 years in the big leagues. He led the American league in batting in 1926, beating out such sluggers as Harry Heil- manri, Earl Averill, Ken Williams, Goose Goslin, Simmons and Ruth.

Manush played with St. Louis, Detroit," Washington and Boston in the American League, and Brook- BOWLING years with the Senators, from 193035 and was a member of the losing Senators in the 1933 world series against the New York Giants. He quit playing in 1939 but remained in the game as a minor league manager and later a scout until 1948. Bucky Harris, Senator manager, believes the 51-year-old Manush will be of great help to the Washington hitters. "Heinie was one of the greatest hitters I ever saw," said Bucky.

"He -was not one of those free- swinging types, but a real smart as well as a strong hitter. I'm hopeful some of his knowledge can rub off on our guys."
