Beefus Bryan, the Texas skylark, cleared the pole vault bar at 14 feet 2 inches on his first trial for a new record in that event. He and Don Bird, of the host Kansas team, battled all the way up the ladder and Bird scraped off the bar with hia chest on his third trial. Wayne and Blaine Rideout, the ground covering twins from North Texas Teachers, collaborated with two teammates to amputate more-than 17 seconds from the record in the college distance medley relay. Wayne took the baton for the three-fourths mile leg with a lead of about 70 yards.

He extended it to 180 before turning the stick over to brother Blaine who ankled a 4:13 mile to finish fully 220 yards ahead of his nearest rival. Texans Crack Mark.

The time, of almost high school caliber, was 4:29.2.

A- Winners of four straight games this spring, the Lincoln high school baseball team is faced by its toughest week yet when three of the state's best prep nines appear on the Red and Black diamond. Fremont plays here Wednesday, the Links face Schuyler in a return engagement Friday, and Saturday play host to the powerful Creigh-ton Prep outfit. Coach Frank Mueller's nine barely managed to edge past Schuyler in their first meeting, 4 to 3, and can expect plenty of opposition from that front. Altho this is the first year Fremont has had a baseball team since 19,6, Ralph Noerrlinger'a northern Nebraska bunch are built around last year's district American Legion champs, and have already downed Schuyler. 10 to 4.

It Is from Crelghton Prep that the Links can expect the most trouble, however. Skip Palrang's team boasts nine lcttermen plus a veteran from two years ago. Only fbur members of the team that last year won ten 'and lost one are lost. BE BLUE WINS AS NEW ENGLAND SEASON OPENS PAWTUCKET, I. UP).

Yale was the first to score, Harry Hopp shooting a short pass to Bus Knight from the ten for the touchdown. Knight grabbed the leather out of the air on the dead run and ran the last six yards without a hand on him. Hopp Converts. Hopp's kick from placement gave the Blue shirts a 7-0 lead that they held thruout the remainder of the period.

Harvard, battling desperately to tie the count failed on a field goal attempt early in the third period when Francis' kick was wide from the 33 yard line. Later on with the Crimson seconds in the lineup, George Porter spotted Willard Bunker, former Lincoln high wingman, in the end lone and flipped him a 22 yard pass for the touchdown. Harm Rohrig, who was in sweat clothes on the sidelines, was rushed In to try the extra point and his kick was good. With the count deadlocked at 7-all both teams waged a merry battle the rest of the route. Har vard got a break when Warren Alfson, running interference for Walt Luther, scooped up the Cambridge boy's fumble behind the line and ran 23 yards to the Yale 25.

From 16 Yards; Francis and Luther lugged the mail to the 15 but here the Blues held and Francis was forced to try a kick from placement on the fourth down.

Plainly disgusted after two of his teammates had failed in the pinch, Warneke strode to the plate in tbe second inning and slammed the ball up against the fence in left center field to drive In three runs, more than he really needed to win.

The Cardinals went on a bat ting spree against the veteran Charlie Root, who replaced him. Mickey Owen led off with the Redbirds' first homer of the year and, before the inning was over, six runs had crossed the plate. Terry Moore hit a double with the basea loaded. Warneke also figured in the rally, getting a single and scoring a run. Long Lon meanwhile went thru most of the game without any trouble.

Dick Bartell doubled and French walked to third, but Stan Hack filed out and Billy Herman hit into a double play. Another double play checked the Cubs in the ninth, Hank Lieber ending the game after Herman and Jim Gleeson had singled in succession with one man out.

Leonard kept half a dozen hits scattered no more than one to an inning to richly deserve his triumph. He had trouble, however, with Tommy Henrich who tripled in the third to score Red Rolfe. The latter reached first by forcing Frank Crosetti, who had walked.

Henrich also had a double and a base on balls in his first start of the year, for the Yankees. Triple Follows Double. Hildebrand was even more flaahv than his ODDOnent except for the disastrous third frame which Rick Ferrell opened oy alno-llno- Tonnrd advanced him to second with a sacrifice and George Case was walked, 'inen Sam West doubled Ferrell home and big Taft Wright lifted a mighty triple against the fence in right center, scoring Case and West. Wright' also got the Senators onlyther other hit, a worthless single in the sixth. Hildebrand was removed for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and John Murphy worked one hitless inning in conclusion.
