Big 8 Indoor Letdown for KU Track Team
By GERALD EWING Kaman Sports Editor
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The topic of discussion Saturday night won't about who would win the Big Eight Indoor but how much of a runaway Kansas State could
The Wildcat team understood this and responded with a combination of great individual performances and a good team effort to easily win the meet with $5 points. As expected, Missouri finished second with 10 points and Colorado third with 46% points.
As for the University of Kansas, it was one of the most disappointing performances the team has had recently. KU finished a distant fifth with only 21 points.
Coach Bob Timmons said he couldn't explain the Jahawks' poor showing in the game, but he was happy.
"I don't know what it was," he said. "It's just sort of the whole season and a series of things. We just start to get good and then we fall down."
KU'S PROBLEMS began in Friday's semi-finals when only three qualified for Saturday's finals. The only qualifiers were Jay Wagner in the 600-yard run and Tom Scavuzio and Eddie Lewis in the 440-yard dash.
Also on Friday, Emmett Edwards was disqualified in the 60-yard dash for jumping the gun twice and Gregg Vandevera did so in the 80-yard dash. The 60-yard high hurdles, Vandevera couldn't
recover from his poor start and didn't qualify for the finals.
"Too many bad things happened," Timmons said. "There were a lot of places we thought we'd score but we didn't. I don't fault the kids at all. We just couldn't get it."
Timmons said Friday's performances definitely hurt the momentum KU needed.
One major disappointment was Terry Porter's failure to make a jump in the pole vault, which he did on Friday, of the high hardles on Friday and wasn't up for par for Saturday's vaulting competition. He was the defending champion in the pole vault and also is the defending champion in the long jump.
Porter said it was just one of those things that happened.
"TVE BEEN jumping pretty good lately," he said. "I just happens. I had good speed down the runway and my skid little不够." My pole was myole little weak thouh.
KU picked up only five points in the track events. Those points came on third and fourth place finished by Tom Scavizzo and Eddie Lewis in the 440-dash dash.
KU scored the remaining 16 points in the field events. Danny Seay scored seven of them with a second place finish in the long jump and a third place finish in the triple jump. Theo Hamilton took third in the long jump. But by far the top KU performer was
Randy Smith who won the high jump with a new jacket record leap of 7-14.3
It was Smith's best jump ever and he said it was difficult to get over the bar at that height.
"It's the Big Eight Indoor," Smith said. "If you can't get up for this then you can't."
Even though KU had its problems, KState didn't seem to have any trouble at all

in winning its first indoor championship since 1935.
Karikari of Colorado and Mike Tyson of Iowa State for the sprint crown.
"They're all great, not one but all of them," K-State Coach Delos Dodds said. "I can't point at any one event as the difference. We just did the job we had to do."
K-STATE SCORED points in 11 of the 15 events. the big event for the Wildcats was the second place finish in the second and fourth places. Vance Roland, the second place finisher in the low hurdles, wins the highs in 7.2 with teammates Bill Cormbs and Tom Combs finishing second and fourth.
Also impressive for the Wildcats was Dean Williams, the winner of the 60-yard contest.
Another event where K-State was outstanding was the mile run,甩 by Charlie McMullen of Missouri. Although K-State didn't win it, Jeff Schemmel, Kathal Peeper and fourth to give the Wildcats nine of the event's sixteen possible points.
The meet's outstanding performer was Roger Chadwick of Nebraska. Chadwick won two events, the 880-yard run and the 600-yard run. His double win was amazing in that there was less than an hour separating the two events.
Chadwick said he wasn't surprised to be the only double winner in this year's meet.
"To win is what I'm here for," he said. "I'm surprised that Veltkamp (Oklahoma's 88rd entry), didn't come up. This time of 1:33.7 a little slower than last year."
CHADWICK SAID that his strategy in both races was to get out in front of everyone else. He said at a short track like this, he would get out if he got out or get set up in the back of the pack.
Dodds said his team had been preparing for the meet since last year. He said he knew the team could win the title, but wasn't sure until the indoor season began. K-State hasn't been beaten in meet competition this year.
"We figured a maximum of 56 points."
"We loved it. The kids wanted it very, very bad and we never thought we could be beaten. What else can you say but the enthusiasm was great."
Dodds said. "We lost Don Marris (a pole vaulter who was injured) and that cost us some points. So there is 54, which is pretty accurate.
