KU's Lutz Relies on Kick For Fast Sprint Times

In the first 30 yards of a 220-yard sprint, Mark Lutz is a slow runner. But after those first few yards he gains enough speed to reach the fastest 220-yard sprinters in the nation.
Lutz, Rochester, Minn., junior and member of the KU track team, left Thursday with the rest of the KU team to participate in the Drake Relay at Des Moines
Lutz said that the start catch, catech and pass-em style was not his chosen style.
"I guess I just don't have fast reflexes," Lutz said, "so it takes me 30 yards to get started. But I'm working on my starts and they're getting better."
A slow start in the 220-yard dash does not hurt him that much, Lutz said, because he is a come-from-behind runner. But he said he had to give up to three thirds and give away two or three vards and still win.
Lutz runs the 100-yard dash and competes in the 440-yard and 880-yard relays. The 220-yard dash, which Lutz calls his favorite race, is run only at championship meets and on the notables circuit, so Lutz cannot run what he considers his best race.
Lutz's personal best in the 220 camel race year, when he ran the 220 in 20.7 seconds. His inability to better that time this year has made him a standout during the outdoor track season, he said.
Latz runs the anchor leg of the 440 and 880-yd relayes. He said that the team had a good chance to repeat their Texas Relays for the 440-yard relay at Drake this weekend.
Lutz said he liked running in the relays because it required a total team effort to win.
Baton handoffs were very important, Lutz said, and emphasized his point by pointing out the bad handoff at the Kansas Relays cost kU a costly injury in the 440-relay field.
Litz ran a 9.4-100-yard dash at the Kansas
Kelays, and finished fourth. Despite this
new season, Litz was unable to win.

A highlight of the meet will be a special faculty half mile race.
The track and field meet is only one part of the Jayhawk Jamboree sponsored by the Association of University Residence Halls, All Scholarship Hall Council, Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council.
Russian Team Dominated Olympic Game, Coach Says
NEW YORK (AP) — The Russians insist they will not be trying to prove anything when they meet a hand-picked U.S. official in a series starting in Los Angeles Sunday.
It was the first defeat for an American basketball team in 64 games and 36 years of OLIMS.
"Our consciences are hurt by because of the way we won the Olympic gold medal," assistant coach Sergei Bashkin said, speaking through an interpreter.
The FIBA is the International Basketball Federation, whose secretary general gave the Russians a three-second reprieve after time had expired, allowed Alexander Belov to score the layup that gave the Soviets a 51-50 victory.
"We can understand the distress of the Americans but we do not think there is a failure."
"We won the game fairly under FIBA rules. We dominated the game until the last match."
unofficial game against a team of Utah all stars.
The Russian head coach, Vladimir Kandrashin, said he did not consider the United States a good team.
Belov, a 6-foot-7, 213-pound redhead, was one of 12 Russian players and two coaches for Moscow and departed Thursday for Salt Lake where they will warm up Friday night in an
"If we felt we had to prove ourselves, we would have brought along our most experienced team," he said. "We left three of our Olympic players at home because we wanted to give younger players a chance." Kandrashin spearced the assumption that the Russian national team is like a pro team, playing together year after year.
"This is the first time the team has been assembled since the Olympics," the head coach said. "The Olympic team members returned home and joined their individual clubs, playing against each other in our national championships."
Kandrashin said he expected the United States to be tougher than at Munich or in the 1971 series won by the Russians, seven games to one.
"Since arriving here, we have heard much of your player, Bill Walton." Kandrashain said, referring to the 8-foot-11 Warrior, who is not a report but reports don't make us very nervous.
"Drake is my favorite relay," Lutz said, "partially because my parents come down to watch me run and because I heard about a particular relay while I was growing up."
Other events of the jamboree include an outdoor concert and a free movie, "My Fair Lady," which will be shown tonight at 7 and 3:00 p.m. in Hoof Auditorium.
his overall running this year. But he still has another chance at Drake.
Larry Reineke, Webster Groves, Mo., senior director of the meet and games, said that the last date for entering the reylaws was October 25. Groves said individual events on the day of the meet.
Lutz said the Drake Relays were the best relays he had run in.
Lutz, 5-10 and 150 pounds, is smaller than most sprinter. He is also different in another way—he is one of the few top nopt sprinters in the nation who is white.
First place trophies will be awarded in each event. Bibbons will be awarded to the winner.
"Eleven contestants have entered the special faculty race so far and I'm hoping more will sign up before Saturday," Reineke said.
Competitors in the relays and charlot race will have an added incentive to win.

The highlight of the Jayhawk Jamboree will be a concert by the Beach Boys, Saturday at 3:00 p.m. in Allen Field House. The event will be held in the SUA office at the Kansas Union.
"I get a little ribbing about being a white spriter," Lutz said, "Latz it said, it is good natured and most of it comes from my teammates."

Looking ahead to the National Collegiate Athletic Association championships in Baton Rouge, La., Lutz said that he thought he could win the 229-yard dash and that the 449-yield relay team could win the national crown in that relay.
"I'm going down to win," Latz said, "with the attitude I'm the fastest man there, because if I don't have that attitude, I won't even place."
It will take a maximum effort on everyone's part for KU to be in competition for the team championship trophy, Lutz said, but predicted that UCLA's domination of the championship meet would end this year.

"The Olympics are in the back of my mind," he said, "but I'm seriously thinking of joining the Army and running for them after I finish school."
Lutz said he had no aspirations to join the professional track circuit because it was mainly an indoor show and he did not care to run indoor track.
