By EMILY BRELAND
Kansan Sports Writer
The women's events of the 48th Kansas Relays will feature some of the best competition since women were incorporated in 1920. The winner, John Davis, director of women's events. One 1927 Olympic performer will be running the 100-yard dash and the 800-yard run
The defending champion of the 800-meter run, Wendy Koenig, an Estes Park Colo., high school senior, is sponsored by the Colorado Gold Track Club. Koenig was the U.S. representative in the 800-meter race at the Olympic Games in Munich.
Pam Greene, a northern Colorado College student, will be running the 100-yard dash for the Mile High Track Club of Denver. He will be leading the United States in Munich in the 200-meter race.
Nancy Shafter of the Canton, Ohio, Track Club will compete against Koenig in the 880-yard run. Shafter placed fourth in the recent indoor nationals in this event and has represented the United States on three international track teams.
In addition to Stafer, the field will include Barbara Lawson of the Colorado Gold Track Club, a three-time winner of this event at the Kansas Relays in past years; Teri Anderson of Kansas State University and titleholder of the National Junior mile
and the 802-yard run;肌 Mhery of the Texas Track Club; Lisa Le Grand of Oklahoma State University; Rosie Orta and Debbie Shewff of Texas Women's University; and two Kettering, Ohio, Striders, Paula Straw and Brenda Webb.
In addition to Greene, runners in the 100-yard dash will include a pair of nationally known athletes. Johnny Doyle from Chicago, who won the National Indoor 280-yard event in New York last month, and Janet Brown of University of Colorado, who participated in the same event in Madison Square Garden.
Rita Ringer, representing Ralph Metcalf's Youth Foundation of Chicago; Rochester Davis of Texas Women's College; Lamar Reslays last year; Kim Curry of the Texas Track Club; Washington of the Mile High Track Club; and Nanette Lee of Tupelo High School, a Kansas Junior tennis team also will compete in the 10-yard赛.
The Kansas Relays was the first major track meet in the nation to incorporate women's events into its program. Women will win three races, but this will be the first year in which the winners of the two events will receive inscribed Kansas Relays Watches. The second and third place winners in each event will receive official Kansas Relays medals.

professionally and won each meet, I would only pick up $8,500," he said. "And that's not worth giving up my amateur status."
The European meets of the professional
care were attractive to Colson, because they
felt more connected with them.
"The Europeans are the very best as far as field events are concerned," Colson said. "The coaches start the kids when they are young, particularly in the javeline. They just give the kids a small javelin, teach them the techniques and set up a workout schedule.
"The javelin is a sport that requires a lot of time. The theoretically, you are supposed to pass the javelin."
"You can see this rule of thumb in Janis Lasis of the Soviet Union, he's the world's best at 307 feet and he is 34. Americans need to begin earlier."
To compete with the Europeans, and the rest of the world class javelin throwers, Colson relies on a heavy weight routine he follows during the off season.
1 "usually work out on weights three times a week and twirl twice a week. But I always try to keep it simple, that is the same size as a baseball but is solid metal, weighing three and a half pounds. The metal ball idea was developed for tennis, and it seems to work well for me," he said.
Colson also said that he had been given a help of from former KU shot, putter, Karl
"We've tried to develop a total weight program," Colson said. "Ladult I was 1 year old."

come, but the track competition and expenses still go on."
Novotny said that the Kansas Relay's budget was included in the overall athletic department budget. Any profit made during one year is used for the next year's relays.
"At best, we have broken even through the years."
We try to use a conservative approach regarding income and a liberal approach to expenses and hope that they balance out," Novotny said.
This year, the athletic department estimated that the relay's expenses would cost $18,000. Novotny said. Included under expenses are honor awards, equipment, training fees and grounds personnel, athletes expenses and a banquet for the track competitions.
"The major costs are the awards, building and grounds and security fees." Novothy said. "The awards alone will cost about $4,000."
Each participant in the relays receives a special watch, and top finishers are awarded.
"We project ticket sales of $2,000 this year," Novtay said. "We also plan to sell $3,000 in programs and $500 in concessions. Institutions are good, we could take in $25,000."
Novotny said that the Kansas Relays had the lowest ticket costs of the three spring relays (Texas, Kansas and Drake). Student tickets are low in cost because part of the activity fee allocated to the athletic department is used to finance the Relays.
The athletic department must pay for travel expenses of the big-name athletes who compete in the Relays. The department is responsible for transportation, housing and food expenses.
Last year, pole vaulter Bo Segran competed in the relays at his own expense. But because the relays made a profit, Segran was later reimbursed. Novotny said.
Novotny said that alumni did not usually contribute funds to the athletic department to be used specifically on the relays, but also to the school had greatly helped the relays.
"The Hershberger Tartan track saved the Kansas Relays." Noyes said "With the difference we must make us much difference if it rains, at least for the competitors."
arms, trying to develop more power. This year I'm focusing on my stomach, legs and back. I can tell the combination has helped my power, because now I can stand still and throw 230 feet and I couldn't have done that without the weight program."
Colson said that 'there were 10 meets remaining and he thought each stadium had a record he could break, and that is what he did. It was the way through the NCAA championships.

The Castle was built in 1894 as a home for J. N. Roberts, a cereal cultivist WWI general. He was a man of great wealth with an income from patient on wooden canoes carved in the basement of his house.
Each of the fifteen rooms of the Castle is finished in a different type of wood. The dining rooms currently in use are elegantly finished in birch cherry, oak, walnut, sycamore and pine. The wood carving was all dblrey by hand by Satyee Endacott of England, a brother of Frank T.
