KU Wins 2 Drake Firsts
In each of the three Midwest Relays—Texas, Kansas and now Drake—the Jayhawks have managed several brilliant runs. The team is a team their consistency was lacking.
The 440 and 800-yd relay teams that had been so strong at Texas and Kansas were off and both Terry Porter and Barry Gentry were dominated their field events. flopped.
But KU did have two first place finishes. Randy Smith the high jump and the 440 yard shuttle hurlel relay team won as they entered one of the nations fastest times this year.
"The ones we thought won, didn't,
and two of the ones we didn't think would
be better."
The shuttle hurdle relay team went to the Drake Relays knowing they had the potential to do well but were inexperienced and didn't know what to expect.
As it turned out, inexperience wasn't important as they set a Drake Relay record
"It was a terrific race." "Tommors said." They each had so much ppy glue against them. I really didn't expect them to do so well. They just had a lot of desire."
Smith had placed second to teammate Barr Schur in both the Texas and Kansas Relays. At Kansas he had passed the 7-0 cutoff line and jumped at Drake that won him a first place.
miserable performances to reconcile, he had been improving steadily all season.
"That 'psy' that Timmons referred to was what had happened to each of the rumors (Delario Robinson, Terry Porter, Greg Vandana) before the final race.
In the race itself, each did an exceptional job. But it was Terry Porter who gave the team extra push. Porter, who had a best of 14.6 in junior college, run a 14.2 to give the team a third straight Olympic champion Rod Milburn of Southern Louisiana State for first place.
—And Greg Vandaveer, who just finished setting a Kansas Relays record in the high hurdles, nicked several hurdles and finished seventh—next to last.
—Porter, who won the Kansas Relays the week before, failed to place.
- Robinson, for the second week in a row, failed to place in the 120-yard high hurdles. And later, in the 440-yard relay, the baton exchange between he and Tom Scavuzzo was bobbed, eliminating them from competition.
-Bob Borkeske's troubles weren't in the finals of the 440 yard intermediate hurdles, he didn't get that far. He failed to qualify in the semifinals.
'Hawks Lose OU Series; Buffs Next
Although the relay circuit is over, and the next meets may not be as spectacular as the relays. Timmons said their next meet would have to be at a higher level and a very tough meet for both teams.
For KU's other first place finisher, high jumper Randy Smith, there were no
The Jawhayk baseball squad has four days to prepare its defenses for Colorado, which travels to Lawrence for a three-game series starting Friday. And after the Oklahoma series over the weekend, KU needs all the time it can get.
In the final game of the series, KU held Oklahoma scoreless for seven innings before giving up the tying runs in the eighth. The Hawks had taken a 2-1 lead in the sixth after KU catcher Dick Bradley homered and Robert Ohm had singled.
Oklahma displayed its power at Lawrence by defeating the Jayhawks two games out of three. The Sooner's victories also keep the squad in reach of first place Oklahoma State, which swept its weekend series from Colorado. 3-0.
Oklahoma held KU scoreless for six innings in the second game of the series, battering Jayhawk starter Bob Cox for two runs in the first and four in the second. KU's lone run came on a seventh-inning homer by Mike Rome.
The less dropped Cox's record to 1.3. Stan Meek went the distance for the Sooners and a win over Derek Taylor.
John Daniel, who came on in relief to insure the victory, cut off a Sooner threat in the seventh. The win was his third against KU, with two hits but allowed KU, only more extra grabhes.
KU took advantage of five Oklahoma defensive errors in the first game of a doubleheader Friday to edge the Sooners, 7-6. It was the fourth loss for Sooner hurrier Johnson, who finished with Oklahoma struck back to win the second game, 9-2, and Saturday fumbled back for a 5-2 win.
KU took an early lead in the first game, driving across one run in the first inning and two in the second. The Sooner batters got to 'Hawk starter Steve Corder in the fourth for five runs but KU came back to score lone two in the fourth and fifth and two runs in the sixth.
The Sooners got their winning run in the ninth when Keith Drummight singled in two.
The Sooner班子 desperately needed to wins to stay close to Oklahoga State.

Fambrough Says Practice Poor
"This was the worst practice we've had all spring," said Coach Don Fambrough.
Until April showers postponed practice a week, Saturday was suppose to be the end of spring football practice at the University of Kansas. Instead of the annual spring game, all the Jayhawks had Saturday was a bad scrimmage.

"We were reacting slowly on defense and made far too many mistakes on offense," Fambridge said. "Also our offensive law wasn't blocking as well as it should have."
