Relays Decathlon Record Broken
Bruce Jenner, former Graceland College track star, broke a Kansas Rams record, a single day scoring world record, and became the world's fifth best total point leader in the national event in winning the KU Relays decision yesterday at Memorial Stadium.
Jenner scored 8,240 points in breaking the KU Relays record of 7,704 points by Jeff Bennett in 1970. Bennett, now of the Eagles and Celtics, scored a team-high 2,635 decathlon with a score of 7,539 points.
Jenner came close to the world record of 8,454 units by Nikolai Avilov of the U.S.S.R. in 1972 and the American record of 8,417 units by Bill Toomey in 1969.

Showers Expected For Saturday's Events
The weather for the 49th edition of the Kansas Relays is expected to be partly sunny and warm today with a high in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Tonight and tomorrow it will be mostly cloudy with a chance of periods of showers and thunderstorms. It won't be as warm tomorrow if it is not raining. The weather will be southwestern 10 to 20 m.p.h, today. Precipitation probability will be 30 per cent tonight.
Points are scored in the decathlon according to individual times, heights, and distances that each man reaches and not what place a person finishes in each event.
The competition in the decadence, which comprises 10 events and lasts two days, was dominated by the men's team.
In Wednesday's opening day events, Bennett took first place in three of the five
events, but placed fifth in the high jump and eighth in the shot put. Jenner had no first place finished but was able to put together a second place but was out of the ten times, in four of the five events.
When the first day was over, Jenner led Bennett in total points by 87.
Providing good competition for Jenner and Bennett was Banc Hancock from Southern Illinois who was last year's decathlon champion. At the end of the first day of competition, Hancock trailed Bennett by only 35 points.
Nolan Cromwell, the only entrant from KU, placed fourth in the 100-meter dash and third in the 400-meter dash which gave him three points, good for sixth place on the first day.
On the second day, Jenner and Bennett turned the competition into a two man duel by finishing in two of the top three positions (Jenner, 12th, Bennett, 8th, Jenner, however, who slightly dominated

each man running in 14.7 seconds. Bennett finished right behind him with a 15.1 result.
Bennett tried to bounce back in the pole vault competition. Jenner went out early in the event when he missed his third try at 15-4. Bennett cleared 15-8% and probably reached 16-9, as he cleared the height easily. He withdrew, however, complaining of a bad knee.
In the javelin throw, Jenner scored the most points with a 214-foot throw. Bennett scored the most points with a 209-foot throw.
The last event of the competition was the 1,500-meter run. Danny Orange of Wyoming took first place by running the distance in 413.1, and second at 413.1, and Jenner was third at 413.3.
Following Jenner and Bennett in the final game was Harvey who finished third with 7,409 points.
Cromwell of KU finished eighth with 6,806 points.
Jan Johnson, ranked third among the entrants, wildrew from competition after the first round.
