DE MONES. lowa (AP)—An entry list of 18 headed by defending champion Rick Wanamaker will comprise the field for the decastion, which the team gave to Drake Relays here Wednesday. He has been on the West Coast training for a berth on the U.S. Olympic team. W L Pct. Pet.

College While the Jayhawks' team average in big Eight play has risen, the young catcher from Oklahoma City has ripped opposing league pitchers at a 300 run game. The Rangers' plate, Overall, he is hitting 475. "It's really a trick to be doing in the big Eight. Bradley said he was just hoping to hit 300. It's just unbelievable to be doing this." Wanamaker took the title here last year with 7,683 points in the playoffs. He's still Hill with 7,106. Wanamaker, a player for Iowa, has a personal best of 7,405. Unable to play professional football, Plumb turned to coaching. Starting in 1963 and for the next three years, Plumb coached high school football in Texas in 1966, he went back to California to coach at Cerritos Junior College in Norwalk Two years later, Plumb returned to the Southwest Conference to join the coaching staff at TCU. He remained at TCU for three years before moving to Tuila last year. Plumb said he got the opportunity to coach at KU because he was a former Fulva coach Don Fambrough and Arne Martin, athletic director at TCU. TCU had one of the top teams in the nation, which was coached. The one team that did not seem to have much difficulty in winning when Fambrough was a player. "Coach Fambrough and Martin became good friends, and he recommended that I get a recommendation that I got the job at KU." Plumb said "I was very impressed." Plumb comes to KU with some excellent credentials as a pass coover coach. He has coached some out- standing pass receivers at both TCU and Tulsa. Several of the teams have been named top professional football Plumb said he thought there were several receivers on the team, and he also said he was with sophomore flankers Emmett Edwards, Ken Saathoff, Bruce Adams and senior flanker Porter were having a fine spring. Plumb has plenty of good ability to work with, he said. The squirrel is three deep at the three feet of the fence, split end, tight red and flapper. "The main thing I have been doing with the receivers this spring is working on their Drake Relays Next Stop For Ryun World record-holder Jim Yum will run in a special mile run at the Drake Relays Saturday after his 3,517 mile performance at Ryun was far from his best, he was the best he ever anyone had run the day. Until Oregon's Stefanie Prefontaine clocked a $5.66 at the Twilight hour on Saturday. Another surprise entry in the Drake Relays is 1968 Olympic high jump champion, Diek Kruis. The high jump event on Saturday. Plumb said that because more passing was being used in the film, he felt it was important to develop the talent he has and 'exploit the talents of David' for his project. development as receivers,' Plumb said. Even though the spring football season is nearly over, Plumb will stay busy for most of the summer until the start of football season. In May, he plans to go on a recruiting trip for a couple of years. He will be placed where he used to coach. Then, he will wrap up some loose ends concerning the football team. He is preparing himself in their search for summer jobs. He said he wanted a little time before the start of the football season to spend with his wife and three children. "I also plan to visit a pro camp and pick up ideas on what they are thinking. I hope I have time to prepare炭 after that." Plumb said. Plumb's receivers will be on display in the annual intraseason game at 7:30 Saturday night in Haskell Stadium. pitching, he said, *Corder, Cox, Wolf and Sieglemeyer* are pretty tough for just batting practice. And you get a lot of practice when you bat against good pitches. It forces you concentrate more." "I've always been able to hit the fast ball, but I’ve learned to cut the curve since going to the lighter bat," he said. "The smaller bat enables me to wait longer and still because I can swing quicker. Bradley said he also thought that luck had a lot to do with his success. KANSAN switch from a 35½ oz. to a 34 oz hat. homerun" he said, "I never try for them. I just go up and try to hit the ball. If you do that, the homeruns will come." "I've also moved closer to the plate, which helps me to handle the ball better. Being closer, I can judge the curve better. Coach Temple has taught us." Knicks forward DAVID BDeusseh挛 said the Lakers "have been great all year. But we sort of need a few more series anything can happen." "A power hitter is a guy who goes up there trying for a The Lakers, off their regular season 69-13 record—an all-time league standard for victories that included a sensational 33-game Take Steve Corder," he said. "He's one of the better hitters on the team, but he's not doing that with his right arm, but it rallies at someone every time." Sharman, whose team responded to his call for more rebounding against Milwaukee, discounts this season's successes of the Lars goes along with the career he has goal now, he said with a raspive voice, "to 'stay lucky for four more games." "I feel I'm a little too slow behind the plate, he said. "My size (6-3, 20) make it hard to move fast sometimes. Bradley said he was really impressed with the Jahawks' attitude and that it was due to competitive spirit of the players. "But with me, they've just been falling in," he grinned. "Really, nobody can actually have the right to win now, it's not right now. It's unprofitable." "The reason we've done so is because everyone's trying to hard. We've got a lot of young guys who want to play and everyone has a lot of friends." "One thing that has helped me is the physical education program at KU. We have to take my kids to the gym, Lockwood has really helped me out. He's shown me exercises to help me quicker and develop my coordination. I don't know if he programs, but they should." Bradley admitted that he was a stronger hitter than he was a fielder. "People stay after the coaches and practice fielding. And sometimes, even when there's no scheduled practice, some of us are on the field." Harris Does It All Well I've been told that some of my mechanics aren't good. I had a couple of injuries in high school, and cold weather has a bad effect on my arm. But if it's warm, though, and I'm limber, I can get the ball down there (second base) pretty good. By JIM SCHUMM The hang-up is when the fans try to make an association between punting and the hats. It isn't important, isn't any. Somewhere between practicing for the ten events, Harris spares in enough time to hand the punting chars at the Arizona football team practices. After sinking his foot into about 15 or 20 footballs he ran off the field and traded his pads for a pair of track shorts. From there he went back to the stadium to get pat and discuss for another hour. LOS ANGELES (AP) —The Los Angeles Lakers are making their way to the summit of the National Basketball Association playoffs with the New York Knicks in the way of their first success. He then ran onto the field just in time for the 5-20-5-20 punting period at football practice, which had already been in progress for about a year. Last Monday could serve as a perfect example. Harris climbed into his sweat clothes for track practice around 3.00 p.m. He went through a club or so runs at the long jump pit at Memorial Stadium, then began to mark off his steps for the 10-arm high hurdles. Lakers Favored to Win "Everyone on our team is out there because they like the game. And I think that's the best kind of attitude to have." At about 4:30 p.m. he got into his car and headed for the dressing room at Allen Field where he donned his football uniform. Coach-of-the-Year Bill Sharman's record-breaking Lakers won the Western Conference by beating the NBA champion Milwaukee four games to two. The Red Holm-coached Knicks, NBA champions of 1969-70 when they defeated the Lakers in the finals, ousted Boston in five for the Eastern Conference crown. and Sports Wrestling. Marc Fleury, runner, jumper, thrower, hurdier and punter. Many sport fans would deduce that he is a deathatle. "Lately I've been just concentrating on track because of the season," Harris said.

The nationally televised series continues Sunday at the Forum. The series will be played Wednesday and Friday nights of next week in New York. KANAS CITY (AIX)—Dick Eckert of the Kansas City Royals haled off a game losing stroke with a 36 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

This type of life is nothing new in Lawrence, where a Lawrence High School he was, of football player and a track team member, and also a basketball team member. The truth of the matter is that in his senior basketball season the Lions made a trip to the state tournament in winter, where they won 20 years' Harris was also the starting quarterback for his high school team that year. Their record of 89 points fourth in the Sunflower League. "I wasn't a big star on the team or anything. My average was only around 12 points or so," Harris said. Only one runner reached second after Dobson took a turn to second after a single when dragon walked Buford. However the threat died before the runners touched the finish. "I wasn't like many guys that came out of high school and get at it," he said. "I played basketball. I just seemed to get at few of them in all my sports." Harris was contacted by half a dozen or so local colleges to play basketball. The problem was that he was not good at that sport, enough to pursue it. "As far as football went, I always knew that I wanted to come to KU." Harris said. "I did not want to attend schools around here though." Many can remember back to last November when the KU football team was ahead of the University of Michigan by 20 seconds left on the clock. KU had the ball deep in their own territory and a fourth down. "He just told me to be sure and has onto the ball, and it will go." Harris just supposed to run around with it and eat up the clock," Harris Head Coach Don Fambrough called Harris over and told him to make an intentional safety. Harris used up 12 seconds running around. Missouri took the free kick and failed to make a touchdown with the one play the The maneuver worked perfectly and the Jayhawks went on to win. It was Harris's big sport in high school. Consequently, it was track scholarships that appropriated him more than ones approved by the university. "I think I had one from just about all the Big 8 schools," Harris said. He also received ones from Cornell, Brown, and Tennessee among others. "When I was being recruited, the football coaches told me that I must make a difference." It all comes from the same place anyway so I guess that it doesn't make any difference," Harris said. "Coach Timmons said he would give me a chance to run the college hurdles but that if I hadn't given him the opportunity he would become a decadent man." The decadence is a ten event experience that is often thought of as the most grueling of all the track events by many coaches. It includes three weight throwing events, three jumping events, a hurdle race and three running events ranging from a jump to a run. "I think that the one I like the best to do is the discs." Harris said. "I would throw it, I usually come up to 20 to 30 feet short of everybody else here." "Needless to say the 1500 meters is my least favorite running event. It's not too bad if it's the last event of the ten." he said. The decathlon usually takes about two six hour days to complete. "I don't even eat anything until after the events are over each day." It makes it kind of a long day. Harris took eighth last weekend at the Kansas Kanslas out of 16 participants with a score of 6.335 points. CHICAGO (AP) - Alling Leo Durocher, 85-year-old manager of the Chicago Cubs, entered a hospital Monday. He will compete today and Thursday in the Drake Relays. "I think Rick Wanamaker is going to be there. Right now he's about as close to Bill Toomey as anybody." Harris said. "I've never been in a meet with Toomey and I'm kind of glad about that." Toomey won the gold medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics. "He usually scores up around 8,000 to 8,400 points. He is for sure the best." Harris said. Harris is not necessarily a big star or a athlete at anything, it's just that he does a little bit of everything very well. SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Chi- man started his season with a no- hitter.
