Delario Robinson was as surprised as the next guy when he matched a University of Kansas indoor record for the 60-yard high hurdles Saturday. He ran a 7-1 in five laps. Jayce Invitational track meet.
For Robinson, though, there was one big difference—be thought he should have done better.
Coach Bob Timmons was anything but unhappy about a loss to him on time a on board track, his first in KU colors. But the young hurdler, who will run both the 68 hights and the 54 midway, will go Southern Saturday in Allen Field House, expressed disappointment with his second season.
'go out there with a positive attitude,' Robinson said. 'I feel that any time I enter an event, I get to see all of the bringing that trapgyk play.'
Robinson, a junior, transferred to KU this semester from Los Angeles Southwest Junior College. There he was a teammate of Charles Rich. Holded on the floor of 13.5 in the 129-yard high hurdles. Robinson a personal best is 14.0 in the 120 hips.
Robinson, who also was sought by Arizona State, Colorado and New York, would be aware of KU's track reputation. He said he wanted to be in the Big Eight.

impressed by Timmons and his staff.
"I liked the way the school treated me," he said. "And I knew they needed someone to fill certain positions on the squad."

Robinson's track experience
was strong at Laurel High School in Los Angeles when, after two seasons on the varsity basketball team, he went to Washington.

At least four of the five University of Kansas players selected in the National Football League college draft Tuesday and Wednesday are ready and can to break into professional football.
Player reactions to being selected ranged from Kart Salsa's "I don't want you back." Page 5's "I'd go to any team that would have me." The four excerpts above are team teams that started them and to play professional football next week.
"WE TALKED about what position I'll play." Childs said, "I'm going to stay at guard."
Bobbie Childs, an offensive
leader fitted in the fifth round
of the playoffs, said:
Wednesday that Tommy
Wrothhead head coach, had
head coaches to head coach.
Childs was pleased at the prospect of playing with the Rams "Everybody wants to go" and "What more could I ask for?"
Besides Salb and Page, Steve Conley, Steve Roach and Bobby Childs also were drafted. Conley, seventh round choice of Cincinnati, could not be reached for Tuesday or Wednesday.
Childs, currently a student teacher at Pinkney School in Lawrence, said he had an off year last season because of injuries.
"I messed up my knee in the Colorado game, but I'm strong now." Childs said.
"I PLAN to make it in pro football." Childs said.
school, so I thought I'd try track."
Karl Salb, a defensive tackle drafted in the fourteenth round by the Buffalo Bills, was surpassed by J.J. Bills Wednesday. A three-year NCAA champion shot putter, Salb has not played football since high school and season in favor of concentrating on the shot put. Salb was a member of the 1968 KU football team that won the national Bowl. He graduated last May.
Childs also suffered from asthma last season. He doesn't expect it to be a factor when he reports to camp this summer though.
"I'd like to play, but it depends on how well I do shot putting this season. I've haven't had much time to think it up. I've made a new team that wasn't formed the Bills have to play.
His career as a hurdler was almost an accident.
**STEVE ROACH**, a linebacker in the fifteen round by the Detroit Tigers, didn't nothing about Detroit, but didn't care where he had to as long as
"They started me in rebelys,
he said. "But I was only the fifth
spinner, and one day we needed
a hurder. I was tall, so that was
Roach said he planned to seek help on Ken Blue, assistant foot coach for the Lions, in a contract with the Lions. He said the Lions had not talked to him
Robinson, who played football in junior college, is a member of the N.F.L. He has ever been. However, he likes the sense of distinctiveness that track gives
Kenny Page, another linebacker, was drafted in the fifteenth round by the Los Angeles Rams.
"Football is a team effort. It takes a combination of eleven men to win." Robinson said. "Everyone knows that you really just in points. When you get down to it, you are out there by yourself when the man fires the gun."
In preparing for a meet, he said he was not the type who got sick or couldn't sleep the night before a meet.
"I just try to stay calm. I eat a light breakfast, maybe a cake bar, and do some leg-stretching." "But the main thing is concentration," Setting or much if you finish second, mean much if you finish first.
Though he also holds personal records of 48-8 in the triple jump and 23-9 in the long jump, Robinson also wins a favorite event,
"That's the way it was last Saturday in Oklahoma City. I beat the man in the preiminarettes and he just got too quick a start and I couldn't catch him," Robinson said of J.B. Middling of Oklahoma State.
"I fell bad about losing in front of a crowd, too," he said. "If I were to do it wrong, there it would be so bad. But a crowd makes a big difference. When a crowd is there, I fell like I'm going to win. That's what I need."
"The first part of the day I was worried," he said. "But I really didn't expect to go any higher than the fifteenth."
Robinson, who is tall and slim (6-2, 160) and sports a moderate Afro, flashed a grin when he tackled me easily eayinging talkative and an erous
He had never lacked confidence,he said.
"No, I've probably got enough for me and the rest of the team, too," he laughed.
When he joined the Jayhawk track team, some of the other members of the squad treated him with respect. He knew he had to prove himself.
"I couldn't let them bother me. I told them if I didn't take first at Oklahoma City, "I'd shave my mustache." Robinson said.
He paused, then grinned sheepishly.
"I so did. That the kind of harder, I guess. But I don't think I'm going to do it anymore," he said. "For a thing you don't think
"From now on," he said, "I think I'm going to be with the best."
