Slayton Pierce got 6 feet inch in the high jump and that was only good for fifth place. However, the only Big Six competitor ahead of him was Ehrlich of Kansas State, ho tied with the leaders at 6 feet inches. Whenever a jump of better than six feet fails to finish in the money at this time of year, the competition can be considered a shade warmer than tepid. BROWNE STAYS. H.

BROWNE passed up a chance to become athletic director and head coach of Denver university recently. Fred Hunter, president of the Colorado school and a Nebraska graduate, conferred with the Husker coach on the matter.

Henry, who knows a typical agaric from the pileus or cap, to the stalk or stipe and knows exactly what to do when he comes upon the hymenial surface of two gills, hobbled over with the aid of a cane, asking tho.se about him if they knew that there were 5,000,000 pounds of cultivated mushrooms grown in this country in 1906. Several did. but attached no importance to it. The little party reached the dark cavern where back, far back, appeared a cluster of what to an old mushroom fancier appeared like pan gold would to a prospector or the sharp staccato call of she to a whaler.

There were some mushrooms that were mushrooms! After considerable puffing and grunting and bending down, brother. Henry came out of the cavern with a collection of plaster of Paris mushrooms that may be shown in the next art exhibition at Morrill hall. Kansas All Time Record for Games Won Reaches .751. LAWRENCE. Crowning of the University of Kansas basketball team as the 1932 Big Six champion has given K.

U. its tenth conference title in the fifteen years Dr. F. C. Allen has coached the Jayhawkers.

His all-time record in and exhibition games was revealed Monday as 215 victories and 71 defeats, for a percentage of .751. Allen coached here first in 1908 and 1909, winning the championship of the old Missouri Valley conference both years, and returned in 1920 when his team finished third. The following year the Jayhawkers won third place again in the circuit. From 1922 to 1927, Jay- hawkcrs won the title each year and from 1922 to 1924 established a record of thirty-four consecutive conference victories. In the years 1928, 1929 and 1930 the championship went elsewhere, but Kansas came back and won it in 1931 and 1932.

Many players who learned basketball from Allen are coaching successfully. Amcng them is Charley Black, the University of Nebraska mentor. Allen holds a wide margin over other Big Six coaches. George Missouri teams won a single title in five years and Hugh McDermott of Oklahoma won two in a decade. The others have never coached a champion team.

Di.scussing the 1932 campaign Monday, Allen said much credit was due Elmer Schaake. football star, who played his first game against Missouri Jan 30, after recovering from an injury suffered in the Kansas-Washbum charity football game. After the loss of Vanek and Casini the presence of Schaake as a guard made the "dif- feresce between a good team and a championship Allen said. of on ihr burie4 of In rirftlon, polo coniotorjr maintNtnrd on a hill noar l.inion, olo. of trealod with a wide range of are burled In the gmund, and over their ing place are Indicating the date on which the are fo be evperlmental cemetery with the bliarre cemetery for wrhleh I have featured previously.

(AP). Frankie Frisch, captain and second baseman of the w'orld champion Cardinals, has accepted terms for the 1932 campaign, President Sam Breadon announced.

Hafey says he wants a contract for $15,000, and also the club to return $2,100 in back salary, lost when he reported late to the club last year.

Lew Tender, fat, wallowing, was there to shake his hand. From the ringside yelled Wllllc Jackson, who once dropped Benny with a single punch; Johnny Dundee, who fought him a dozen times, all old men now as far as the ring is concerned. The Thinning Thatch. The bell rang and Benny sidled out, thick al)out the body but not fat, for all the world like the old Leonard except for the front of hts head, where the hair was carefully combed to disgui.se its thlnnes.s. McMahon ru.shed in, wild swinging youth, and up went both of arms, catching the punches.

They danced in the open, Benny lightly on his toes, and left jabs spattered all over the young Iri.shman’s features. So it went, slgiht variations, thru ten rounds, the old man of the ring boxing beautifully, out-maneuvering, out-thinking, the eager Irishman, holding him tight when danger threatened. But it was a shaky Leonard in spots, a Leonard that tired easily. But even so, Benny won eight of the ten rounds, tho several were very close. He weighed 151 3-4 pounds, far above the 133 he used to make for his lightweight title defense.

In the sixth round Benny mi.ssed paw completely, fell face dow'n on the floor. Like Tunney in the seventh round at Chicago, he seemed almost to get up.

Again in the ninth he slipped on a wet spot in his own corner and nearly fell out of the ring. Altho Referee Gunboat Smith voted the match a draw, the judges gave Benny the aw'ard.

The big resource of this rapidly developing enterprise is a revolving fund to which the sporting manufacturers are contributing. The start was small, but out of $5,090 available this year. Harlow was able to germinate tournaments in Phoenix.

and Houston, which filled in two empty ends for the touring profe.ssionals. The P.

Harlow visions a future day when the National open champion and the British open champion can be signed to a contract to appear in so many touinaments each year.

As to the wearying of open tournaments, Harlow said, are enough big towns ift the country able to support one big golf event every year to banish any fear of drying up the demand. Hi.uslon, is trying to put thru a progressive step. On the new public links it is planned to charge an extra tax of five cents each round toward a fund, which will defray expenses for several first-class amateur tournaments and one big open tourney on the course.
