In fact, Elmer Hackney threatens to be quite a man when he grows up. He'’s only a sophomore, or, to be more exact, he’ll be a junior l‘,l)f‘xl fall. A big, raw-boned, bashful young- ster enrolled at Kansas State in 1936. His chief claims to fame were that he was the best high school wrestler in Kansas, and that came from Oberlin high schoo! which produced Sam Francis, Ne. braska's all-America fullback and Olympic shot-putter. As a freshman footballer, Hack- ney was like a tractor with lugs once he got into the spirit of things, but the chief difficulty was| in getting him in the right spirit. | He was (oo easy-going.

He was uncertain, hadn’t found himself, although for sheer power he was in a class by himself. He was often stopped, but seldom down. The ball would be declared dead, but there would be Hackney, legs spread and braced, tacklers draped on-him like confetti. He went from football ~into wrestling, and very neatly won the conference heavyweight crown. Ward Haylett, Kansas State track coach, looked at Hackney's bulging biceps and decided that maynap here was a potential weight man in- STANDING OF CLUBS Pacific Coast League Won Lost 74 51 72 53 58 60 60 67 69 83 Pct 592 576 536 524 516 460 448 349 Los Angeles Sacramento San Diego San Francisco Seattle Portland Hollywood Onkland He handed the big boy a 16- pound ball, and told him not to throw it out of the stadium, as it was the only one they had.

Kansas State followers see him on the 1940 Olympic team as a two- event man, in the shotput and on the wrestling team. As for football, he came out for cpring practice and ripped up every- thing but the 2oal posts. Confidence, the only thing lack- ing last fall, was present by the bushel. The rough edges had been smoothed out, and enthused Kan- sas State fans can’t see anything but all-America for him within the next two years. He stands about 6 feet, weighs about 200, and it's all dynamite. .

The Dodgers knocked off the Pirates Sunday and the Reds out- lasted the Giants in an eleven inning game. Pittsburgh has won just half of the sixteen games against Brooklyn and the Giants have taken only one series of six games in seven- teen starts against the Reds. The Cubs dropped another close one at Philadelphia when Bill Atwood belted a homer with two out in the twelfth inning 'of a twin bill opener. The Cubs won the nightcap.

He got his bear, of course. But several husky fishermen tried |to emulate his prowess with the bow and best they could do was| to pull her back about half way, | which was just about that much |too short. In his younger days he was one of the Territory’s crack rifle-shots and without a doubt he must be as skillful today as then.
