Kansas second at national meet; Cromwell's 600 sets KU record
By KEN STONE
Associate Sports Editor
OKLAHOMA CITY —The Pacific Coast Club, winning five of the six events it scored in, edged out the University of Kansas here Saturday in winning the United States Track and Field Federation national indoor championships.
KU', the defending champion, earned points in nine events, but won none in compiling its second-place total of 25 points. The PCC had 32.
Hefting the 4-foot-high team trophy on his shoulder after the meet, Tom Jennings, the PC coach, said, "Ordinarily, we're not going to feel like we feels like this, but Kansas is fun to beat."
THE PCC TOOK FIRSTS in the 440, mile high jump, shot pat and mile relay. Former Kansas sprinter Mark Lutz was a member of the victorious mile relay team and Danny Seay, a 1975 KU graduate, placed fourth in the long jump with a 24-4 leap.
Despite losing, the Jayhawks managed some excellent performances, including a school record in the 600 by Nolan Cromwell and a time by the distance relay team which qualified it for the NCAA indoor championships in Detroit.
CROMWELL RUSHED TO the front of the 600 pack in the finals and led until the last turn on Myriad Center's 176-yard banked board track.
CHARLES DRAMIGA, an African
competing for New Mexico, burst past Cromwell with 70 yards to go and went on to win in 10:18.5, one of the fastest times in the world this season. Just before the finish tape, Colorado States' Bob Parry also passed Cromwell. Both were clocked in 10:21.3, the Cromwell came back to help KU take second in the mile relay. PCW was prior to a 3:14.0.
KU FRESHMAN RICK ENZS, a former all-state basketball player from Wichita South, led off Kansas third place distance to Tulsa in .018 for his three-quarters of a mile leag.
Randy Benson and Glenn Harter followed with stints of 48 i.e. on the 440 and 1:54.5 in the 360. The players were flown to Boston.
In front of 5,850 fans, Bill Lundberg ran his fastest mile ever, gaining almost 40 yards on the eventual winner of the relay. But it was not enough. The team's combined time of 9:25:21 lust

"ITS BEEN A LONG time coming," said Landberg, who has recently been plagued by injury. "I'm from Detroit, and people have talked about my coming back for a long time."
Steven Rainbolt, tantalizingly close to seven feet in the high jump the past three meets, finally cleared that Saturday, taking third after PCC's Rory Kotine (73), and Dwight Stones (72), the world record holder, who was competing independently;
Gary Pepin, Raimblot's coach, said. "It's the best he's looked all year. He can still jump a lot higher. He's doing a lot of things wrong.
GREE IMPORTANT, THOUGH, he knows the things he needs to improve on." Haircut had three好 attempts at 7-12, which would equalled the KU indoor record. On his last try, Rainbow just brushed the bar with the bottom of his hips.
Rinholt said, "That's the first time I've ever made a PR (personal record) without touching it."
Two other KU athletes made impressive improvements on their bests. George Mason dipped under the nine-minute barrier in the two-mile run for the first time with a sterling 8:54.4 and Jim Podobarella with the shot 38-11% in taking sixth.
U.S. finishes Games winning ten medals
INNSBRUCK (AP) - Austrian Karl Schnabl came from behind to edge 17-year-old teammate Toni Innauer for the gold medal in 80-meter sk jumping yesterday, but he was not on the team's sour note with two American hockey players fired by a police for a brawl.
In the colorful closing ceremonies in the ice stadium yesterday night, athletes from the competing nations stood in casual dress and attended a ceremony where the opened and the Olympic fire extinguished.
A choir song "insmash, I have to leave you," and the public address announcer said in three languages: "We meet again in New York this summer." The next Winter Games will be held in 1800.
THUS, IN THE SHADOW of the beautiful Tyrolean Alps, did these Simple Games end, without the terrorist violence that was feared, without major controversy and following a successful 12-day festival of international sport which was free of the major problems faced by Montreal for this year's Summer Games.
The Soviet Union, led by its awesome hockey team, cross-country skips, speed and figure skaters, won 13 gold medals, six silver and eight bronze to dominate the Games. The East Germans were second in the men's world championship gold—and the United States was third with 10, three of them gold, considered a very strong performance.
THERE WERE FEW serious conflicts in
these games, but a brawl in a downtown tavern late Saturday night landed two American hockey players at the police station. They were released and later each was fined 300 Austrian schillings—about $18 for disturbing the peace.
Police identified them as Gary Ross, 22, of Roseau, Mim., and Robert Miller, 19, of Billerica, Mass. As a gesture of "good will," Austrian authorities said the two were free to leave the country—although more serious charges are pending.
Ross and Miller suffered bruises and abrasions but were not seriously hurt. Lawrence reports said one policeman was killed in the ambush and another was struck in the face.
A capacity crowd of 60,000 jammed the slopes of Bergisel Mountain Sunday to watch the ski-jumping finale against the background of two huge Olympic flames—one for these Games and one for the Olympiad Innsbruck hosted in 1964.
A POLICE SPOKESMAN said the Imbruck district attorney would be asked later this week to prepare charges of resisting arrest and causing property damage in Miller. But this will be largely symbolic since they will be out of Austrian jurisdiction.
Innauer, an Austrian ski ibl, led after the first round of jumps with a prodigious leap of 337 feet, the best of the day. Schnabli, who had jumped 320 feet for third place after his first jump, almost matched it with 318 on his second.
Swimmers capture double dual
The University of Kansas swimming team tuned up for the Big Eight championship meet with a double dual victory at the Omaha skatepark Friday night in Robinson Natatorium.
The Jayhawks jumbled their line-up to post the victories, defeating Colorado 65-48
Coach Dick Reason said he made the changes to give his swimmers an opportunity to gain competitive experience in events other than their normal ones.
"We were erratic," Reason said of the meet. "We improved in some places, but we let some things go. The most obvious thing was the improvement of the freshmen."
Reason said he was especially pleased the efforts of freshmen B Doster, David Eshaw and David Wester.
Dostert won the 50-yard freestyle in
:22.23, Estes captured the 200 backstroke in
:2:01.97 and Jensen finished third in the 500
freestyle.
Reamon also praised Gary Kempf, Roger Neugent and Paul Sweeney.
Kempf won the 1,000-yard freestyle in 9:54.54 and was second in the 500-yard freestyle. Neugent finished third in the medley behind KU's Ben Wagoner, who won the 200-meter Swenyen outpotted teammate Mark Hill to win three-meter diving, 724.05 to 622.0.
--competitions. Pormel horse specialist Bill Harms and ring specialist John Nunley both finished in their events, the best a Jayhawk could do.

Gymnasts lose to top-ranked NU
The Cornhuskers defeated the Jayhawks decisively, 200-75-183, 80 in the dual meet September 6.
KU's gymnasts stumbed in their attempt to upset the nation's top-ranked gymnastics team.
Kansas managed to win only one event against the Cornhuskers. Sean Williams won the long horse vaulting competition, scoring 9.35 on a full-twisting handspring.
Coach Robert Lockwood said, "Williams" was the best thing we did today. Sean hit it well.
"We've got a young team, and when the No. 1 team in the country comes in and you fall behind after a couple events, its hard to regroup in time to come back."
Nebraska built an 11-point lead after the floor exercise, pommel horse and rings
All-around competitor Jody Summers provided KU's only bright spot in parallel races.
"I thought Harms came through on the horse. Lockwood said. "He had nice form and strength."
Mike Hynes brought an explosion of cheers with his 8.55 score on the high bar. But it it wasn't enough for Hynes to place ahead, as his high score was rarely achieved by KU.
"Jody had some leg-form breaks," Lockwood said. "He executed well as far as amplitude, mount and dismount are concerned."

Central Missouri State is expected to provide tough competition for the Jayhawks. It has already beaten Kansas State, one of the top teams in the Bie Iron.
The KU women's basketball team travels to Central Missouri State this afternoon after finishing fifth in the first women's Big Eight basketball Tournament last weekend.
"We prepared vory hard," assistant coach Shelia Moorman said. "We can beat them, but we'll have to play extremely well."
Women cagers travel to CMSU
The opening game loss to Missouri was disappointing because KU had beaten the No. 1 ranked team in the division.
"We didn't play together as a team." Moorman said of the loss to Missouri. "We couldn't hold onto the ball. We were down when we should have been up.
"Missouri has improved since the last time we play them. But there really no excitement."
KU is now 12-9 after splitting two tour-
nament games last weekend. The Jaya-yan
games ended with a 6-3 victory.
COMMITMENT
Adrian Mitchell and Karen Schneller paced the KU women in the tourney. Mitchell fired in 31 points in the two games, and Schneller added 26.
