Bismarck Youth Star in Three Major Sports At North Dakota University BACKSTROKE SWIM CHAMPION COLLECTS SNAKES AS HOBBY Johnny seen seen Student at Uni- versity of California, Set | Three Records Los Angeles, Calif, March 3.— Those flying fish who play on the road to Mandalay would hide their heads in shame if they knew Johnny Kaye. Imagine breaking an American quarter-mile record by 24 seconds!| Imagine breaking a world 400-meter: record by 14.6 seconds! Imagine smashing another American record by five seconds! Don't bother imagining it. Because ‘pound youngster who is only 20 years old, did it last year while lying on his back. Johnny is a student at the Univer- sity of Southern California. If he isn’t the greatest backstroke swimmer the world has ever known, then George Kojac, Toshio Iriye and Wal- ter Laufer were wrestlers. * * * He is an unusual, temperamental kid. His favorite hobby is catching and training snakes. He is the son of a retired Newark (N. J.) physician who has written several books on medicine. From his father Johnny received his leanings to be a natur- alist. i Three years ago, young Kaye was stricken with infantile paralysis. For two months he couldn't move a mus- cle in either leg. The malady left him as mysteriously as it gripped him. He recovered so completely that he maintains even today that paraly- sic helped him. “Sure,” laughs Kaye, “one stroke helped me with my swimming stroke. It loosened up leg muscles that al- ways had been tight.” ** * Four years ago, as a student at Mercersburg (Pa.) Academy, Kaye won the National Interscholastic backstroke title. Then he decided to come west, where he could find new varieties of snakes. Under the coaching of Fred Cady last year, Kaye began to hit his real stride. When Johnny goes out for a record, he does the job right. For example: He decided to break the world 400- meter backstroke record of § minutes 42 seconds, set by Toshio Iriye in Japan, Sept. 30, 1928. So he swam the distance in 5:27.4. He decided to break the American 440-yard backstroke record of 6 min- ‘utes 10 seconds, set by George Boe 180-yard backstroke record of 1:49. Seoiitel, hardly’ © ‘Trojan fraternity ‘Withal, a ral wants Kaye as a member. Everybody likes him but they can’t get used to his snakes.

D., March 3.—When the University of North Dakota won [the North Central Conference basket- ball title this season, it marked the third conference championship team on which Ted Meinhover. brilliant Sioux athlete, had competed. Meinhover, as a sophomore, was a member of the University’s 1931 con- ference champion football team, play- ing left tackle and end. He earned all-conference honors in his last two years, during which he played left tackle. In his junior year, Meinhover cap- tained the Sioux track team to the North Central championship. leading the way with first places in the discus and shotput events. The capturing of the basketball title in his senior year climaxes the ath- Ietic career of one of the Northwest's finest athletes. Standing 6 feet 7% inches tall and weighing 245 pounds, Meinhover possesses the ideal physi- que for an athlete. When he graduates from the school jof education this spring, he will re- ceive the University blanket from C. A. West, director of athletics. This blanket is presented to the athlete whe garners nine major letters in his col- lege career. Meinhover is a product of Bismarck, N. D., where he starred in football, basketball, and track. He is 22 years old and will receive his B. S. degree in. enuacation this spring. FARGO FORUM SPORTS WRITER LAUDS BIG UNIVERSITY STAR Appearing in “Keeping In Line", a Fargo Forum sports column conducted by Eugene Fitzgerald, are the follow- ing comments on the Bismarck boy who made good in a big. way: “Now that his basketball and foot- ball careers are over, it can be said of Ted Meinhover, giant University of North Dakota athlete from Bismarck, that he has been a real sportsman, “Mcinhover, because of his towering has been the target for stu- dents whose teams the Nodaks were opposing. Through it all Meinhover never has turned to cast his dislike at a spectator. It could not possibly have been pleasant for the Bismarck youth to hear the jibes of fans shot at him. But he almost always played well in spite of it. Never have we seen him befuddled because of the aspersions cast at him, and as often as not he has been the star in suc- cesses enjoyed by the Nodaks. “Meinhover completes his collegiate athletic career in the spring, wind- ing it up in track. He holds the North Central Conference shotput and discus records. He has been an all- conference basketball player, and in 1932 was an all-conference football tackle. “All in all he has been one of the finest athletes the N. C. I. ever has had, as well as its biggest.” COUNTY ACQUIRES TAX LANDS Carson, N.
