Two days ago, the disappointing news was about Charlton Ehizenuel, the defending Kansas Relays long-jump champion, being named as a starter, not being able to make the trip to Lawrence.
Yesterday, it was learned that Ron Ray. the top entrant in a classy Riley 400-meter race.
RAY'S COACH AT NORTH Carolina Central University telephoned yesterday to report that Ray could run it the open d40-meter champion is injured, he said.
With Ray out of the race, the ninth fastest entrant — KU kprerent Jay Wagner — is in. A two-game sweep by the event, which features last year's champion, Maxie Parks; the world record holder in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles, Jim Bolding; and Ben Brown, the former NCAA
But on the day before the first event of the 51st Kansas Relays—the Billy Mills 10,000-meter run at 2:45 this afternoon—there was some good news, too.
OTHER GOOD WES WAS that Frank Shorter, the marathon champion in the 1972 Olympic Games, might try the 10,000-mile run, the 5,000 meters that he's already entered.
Shorter, a former Yale star, already holds the Relays record in the three mile run, of 13.06:6. He takes a crack at John Macy's 10.00-meter standard of 29.40 set in 1964.
Also in today's race will be KU runners John Roscoe and George Mason. Mason has a best in the six-mile plus event of 29:56.7, and Roscoe, now recovered from a
injury, injured the 25 laps in 30:30.8 last weekend in winning the event of the Wichita Tennis Championship.
IF SHORTER RUNS, HE'LL be challenged by Domingo Tibiuzu, the Pan American Games champion in the 10,000 meters; Colorado Track Club star Ted Castendana; and late entry Gary Bjorklund, formerly of the University of Minnesota
A former teammate of Olympic champion Dave Wottle at Bowling Green, Sid Sink, won the Big Eight McMullen who dominated the Big Eight middle-distance events in his years at
ONE PARTICIPANT IS expected to be served with entomology from North Carolina State University.
Bachelor, a friend and former Florida Track Club teammate of Frank Shorter, placed fourth in the Munich Olympic marathon.
Another competitive event should be the faculty invitation distance medley relay, which begins at 3:55 p.m. Teams representing Kansas State, Nebraska and North Carolina State, and, of course, the University of Kansas, are entered.
In addition to the faculty relay and the Billy Mills 10,000 meter run, there will be preliminaries and finals in men's and women's intramural 444-yard relays and finals in the junior college distance medley relay.
Here is this afternoon's schedule:

KANSAS CITY (AP)-Ed Herrmann homered twice to drive in four runs and power the California Angels to their first 1976 victory, a 7-4 conquest of the Kansas City Royals yesterday night.
With Kansas City leading 5-3 in the eighth inning, Dave Collins and Bruce Bochete walked, and a single by Bill Melton brought Collins home. Then Herrmann unloaded his second home run of the night, a shot over the field fence off reliever Marty Pattin.
The Angels had dropped their first four outings.
Kansas City jumped to a 3-0 lead with a second-inning outburst against starter Lance Stephens, who led the inning, then consecutive singles by George Brett, John Mayberry, Hal McRae and Al Cowens, plus an error by California fielder Lee Stanton put Tanaan in a hole.
The Royals scored their final run in the bottom of the eighth.
"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle."

The words spoken some 80 years ago by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympics, could well have meant for Montreal and Mavor Jean Drapoue.

Drapeau and the Quebec capital lost their struggle for perfection. They were plagued by strikes, political scandal, inflation and inclement weather. But they have all but won their battle against time to stage the XXI Summer Olympics.
The cranes that rise from the stadium floor and the holes where concrete sections still are to be placed are sad reminders of the elaborate plans of Drapeau and French architect Roger Taillert that had to be scrapped for the sake of efficiency.

Competitors from 132 nations will jam into two new pyramid-shaped Olympic Village buildings. But already the projections are for overcrowding.
The 72,000 seats will be in place on opening day. The artificial track is being laid. But the envisioned sweeping white spire will not be the landmark of the Games. The revolutionary retractable roof won't be made; the wooden panels will have to use makeshift dressing rooms and press rooms for some 6,500 international journalists were moved three miles away.
The adjacent swimming pool is being tiled after passing the stringent test to hold a swimming pool and practice pool are virtually complete. Also, part of Olympic Park, is finished.

Of the 21 Olympic sports, facilities for all but two are finished. Some are new. Others, such as the Forum and the Maurice Richard Arena, already existed and needed only to be built. All of the accomplishments have been overshadowed by one major mistake: Olympic Park.
