Benson's 46.2 breaks KU record; 3 'dancing elephants' reincarnated
By GARY VICE
Sports Writer
Randy Benson broke the school record in the 400-meter dash and led a barrage of personal record-breaking performances by the University of Kansas track man, who won decisively at the Arkansas State Invitational this weekend in Jonesboro, Ark.
Benson's 46.2 mark in the 400 shattered Benson Olson's marking set in 168 at the Chelsea Fashion Week.
Several other careerests paced the Jayhawks to their convincing victory Saturday as KU won with 179 1-3 points followed by host ASU with 97 1-3.
THE JAYHAWK WEIGHTMEN contributed 64 points to the team's total with 1-2-3 finishes in both the shot put and the javelin, and a strong 1-3 showing in the discus. The meet was scored on a 10-8-6-4-2-1 point system.
The shot putters led the dynamic KU weightmen, with both Jim Podrebaras and Steve Stone tossing the 18-pound shot over the course of a six-minute that distance this season. The trio's accomplishments make KU the nation's only team to have achieved the number who have exceeded the 60-foot barrier.
The only other time Kansas had three 60-foot shot putters was in 1970, when the trio of Karl Salb, Steve Wilhelm and Doug Kouprich captured the famous "dancing elephants."
PODRIBARAC, A JUNOR, won the event with a 60-8½ loss. Stone was second at 60-3½ and Guevara took third with his 59-2¼. Guevara, who has a personal best of 62.
4 3/4, has thrown the shot beyond the 60-foot mark in several previous peets.
THE JAYHAWKS, WINNERS of six of the 18 events, also won the 440-yard and mile relays. The 440-yard squad of Laverne McCarthy, John Kovacs, and Larry Jackson sped to a 41.0 clockling while the mile relay squad finished in 31.23. Benson, the Big Eight's defending 440-yard champion, anchored the mile relay team of Jimmy McCall, Steve Akers and Jay Waugh.
McCall and Wagner also posted career bests competing in their individual events.

second in the 3,000 steeplechase with an 8:55.2.
LARRY JACKSON REMOVED all doubles that he wasn't fully recovered from an indoor season leg injury with a blistering 10.2 mark in the 100-meter dash for second places. With the same time, Lavern Smith was injured, but both marks were aided by the wind.
ASSISTANT COACH GARY Pepin said he was pleased with the team's performance.
Pepin said, "It certainly is encouraging for the coaches and the athletes for us to do so well. It gives us a good bright outlook on life." He especially liked the (Kansas) Relays this week.
The two sprinters also finished 2-3 in the 200. Jackson, the Big Eight's defending 100-yard dash champion, ran the event in 21.4 and Smith finished in 21.5.
"We still feel like we can develop a lot more. We have many talented athletes on this team, and they are just coming around to the performances they are capable of."

"We had the game in the bag and let it get away," said Bernie Mullin, player-coach. "We's certainly disappointed at not winning the game. But, at the same time, a tie with a team as strong as Columbia is quite an accomplishment."

Moore dissatisfied with practice efforts
THE BRIGHTEST SPOT of the scrimmage was the running of Johnson, a highly touted junior college transfer. He gained 118 yards on only eight carries, including two longdown runs. Clay Benny was also scored, gaining 82 yards on eight carries.
--might be the only quarterbacks available in the spring game next week.
By ALLEN QUAKENBUSH
the defense were unimpressive Saturday. Moore singled out running back Wardell Johnson and defensive back Caleb Rowf for finding little but to get excited about.
"I DIDN'T SEE THAT many good lick it," he said, "and that was kind of disgusting. There was a lot of people being唱 and singing, but there wasn't much good tackling."
Moore was unhappy following Saturday's scrimmage. He simply hasn't seen the progress so far he hoped for this spring. Yet Moore and his teamsters aren't putting forth a complete effort.
Applications
As a result of the efforts of many students on the evening of April 20, 1970 in the saving of furniture, art objects and invaluable service to firefighters during the Kansas Union fire, some insurance carriers decided to present to the Kansas Union a gift in the amount of $5,000. After presentation of the gift, it was suggested that the Student Union Activities Board seek those students deserving of being awarded scholarship/awards from the gift.
Running back Bill Campfield made a brief appearance after missing the last three weeks because of a pulled leg muscle. Campfield rumbled 33 yards for a touchdown.
