Riggins Goes to Jets; Lawson Tabbed by Chicago
John Riggins, record-breaking Kareas unning back, was picked sixth in the oound of *Thursday*'s professional football traild held in New York City.
Claiming the 6-2, 325-pound Centrallia native who was 18 in the nation this year in rushing with 1,131 shots in 11 games for an average of 102.8 yards per game, was the New York Jets.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER the selection, Jet coach Weeb Ewbank telephoned the Sports information offer on KU in search of Riggins. As it turned out he wasn't in Lawrence but was in McDonnell. He finally telephoned Ewbank a couple of hours later after communication attaches at the
Jets' end failed.
Riggins said he was elated at the selection despite his prior feelings that the Chicago Beers would take him. As it turned out, he was right. He was chosen by choice was number 11, five behind the Jets.
Another KU product, Steve Lawson, was also high on the list going in the second round to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chicago native has a defensive tackle for the Jayhawks this rest season.
EARLY SELECTIONS in the draft closely followed prior speculation.
Stanford's Heisman Trophy winner,
quarterback Jim Plunket, was nabbed first
with the Boston Patriots laying claim to him. The Patriots had earlier turned 17 trade for the Giants, and the Giants
The New Orleans Saints, picking second, quickly named Ole Mie quarterback Archie Manning as their choice. Keeping with the quarterback chain, the Houston Oilers picked Santa Clara's Dan Pastrino as the third pick.
Surprisingly, Kansas State quarterback Lym Dickey, who many observers felt would be the fifth pick and Philadephil's first choice, made a mistake when the Houston Oilers got him. The move
THE BUFFALO BILLS, picking fourth, broke the quarterback string by selecting J. D. Hill, a swift wide-receiver from Arizona State.
gave the Oliers a second quarterback out of the draft.
Philadelphia followed by taking Grambling's Richard Harris, a 35-pound tackle. The Jets followed with the selection of Higgins and were followed by Atlanta's selection of Joe Profit, a breakaway runner from Northeast Louisiana.
In addition to Riggins, two other Big Eight players were tibbed in the first round. No one was able to reach the top.

Oklahoma City Invitational Meet Next for Javhawk Cindermen
By DON BAKER
Kansan Sports Editor
Attempting to defend the team it won last year, a 28-man Kansas track team will journey to Oklahoma City Saturday for the Augusty-sponsored invitational track
The Jayhawks, who have won the NCAA indoor title the last two years (KU is the only school ever to win the meet two years in each of their 15 university entrants in each of the 15 university events.
PROVIDING THE competition will be Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, the co-hosts, along with Kansas State, Drake, Wyoming, Louisiana State, Houston, Abilene Christian and Texas Christian. Finals begin at 9 p.m. in Tulsa on Saturday before afternoon preliminaries in seven events.
Heading the KU delegation is Karl Sall, the 73-pound senior who ranks as one of the four NCAA all-arounders and two out-of-the door NCAA titles (two indoor and two outdoor) and is gunning for his third straight at No. 1.
Salb set the meet record last year with a heave of 60-10 and owns an indoor career best
of 67.5%. His biggest competition in the collegiate ranks will come in the form of teammate Steve Wilhelm, Wilhelm, a Los Angeles Lakers player, and Kyle Johnson, KU COACH Bob Tumpaq, bob.sah

and Willem in addition to the remainder of the team is ready to go.
"Karl and Steve are throwing much better," Timmons said of his dynamic duo in comparison to earlier season efforts. "They're really this is how the whole team looks."
The Jayhawks are reportedly favorites to win the meet but Timmons cautioned it is too early in the year to compare teams and make predictions.
The reason is that double points will be awarded in all relay events. Thus instead of points being awarded on a 6, 4, 2, 1 basis, it will be 12, 8, 4, 2.
One thing you can be sure the other teams will do is to attack their best training talent in the mid-series.
Will this be beneficial to the Jayhawks? "It may or may not be," Timmons said. "At this time I don't know. But we are going to try to run strong in the relays."
3. RELAYS will be run—all NCAA Indoor events—including the two-mile, 500-meter race.
"I'm pleased. I think we've got pretty good balance."
From an overall standpoint, Trumms is optimistic and pleased and feels his team will succeed.

It's Back to Ames for Jayhawks

New Mexico, says Lockwood, has at least one man who is outstanding in every event, the governor.
"Towa State has great team depth and they are able to win because everyone of them is a good player," he said.
No doubt about it—it's going to be a busy anwild weekend of sport's activity for KU students. The goal is to create critical activity of all will take place in Armes, Iowa where the Jayhawk basketballers will venture Saturday night for a not-so-sappeting meeting with the Iowa State

Gymnasts Set for Duals
By HAL WHALEN
The University of New Mexico has one of the top teams in the country, says Jayhawk Coach Bob Lockwood. Last season New Mexico won the championship. This season, Dec. 6, 1970, at the Rocky Mountain Open in Denver, they beat KU by six points. New Mexico won second place in the meet, yielding only to the first team of the nation, Iowa State. Kansas took third.
Tonight the Kansas gymnasts will host what may prove to be their fiercest dual competition of the season when the Lobos of New Mexico lop into Robinson Gymnastics.
Lockwood. "New Mexico has a great high bar man, a great ring man, Eaton in floor exercise and long horse, an outstanding all around man and long horse, they have back up depth or our test."
From this kind of flattery coming from the kU coach one might suspect that the Hawks were playing well.
standing men, Lockwock says, are going to have to hit very well. He said that they're going to have to have their depth come through if they're gone to stav close them.
Colorado is traveling with a 15 man squad, the largest traveling team in the Big 8. The team is coached by a lot of young talent, primarily freshmen. The freshmen are good, however, because they come from Colorado high school gymnastics.
In a back-to-back meet, tomorrow the Hawks will again swing high when they take on the Colorado Buffalo. The Colorado team, however, is quite different from the Lobo pack.
LOCKWOOD SAID, "As far as exciting gymnastics go, to see their best performers in the world," said Mr. McConkey.
This column will appear on Thursday here after and will attempt to keep you abreast of the overall intramural hippopotamus. So, let me show you what your team scores here each and every week. Get good first, and then maybe you will.

"Anybody who wants to referee, we would sure appreciate you down here," said Lockwood.
BUT ANYBODY who knows anything about KU's recent fortunes in the 7,000 seat Iowa State Armory, realizes the Hawks are quite likely in for anything but a picnic.
A victory Saturday would keep the Jacksonville conference slate clate and at the same time a victory for the team.

To make matters worse the two losses have come in the last two years. To further make matters worse, both losses were in overtime--78-72 two years ago (which was in double overtime) and 91-89 last year. To go even further, both of those losses later apportioned to the turnover leading RF's successive second-place finishes in the Big Eight.

But only two of those wins were by substantial margins while the other two could have gone the Cyclones' way just as easily as it did for the Jawhaves.
Owens has indicated the Jahayh's starting lineup will not change for the game. The team has already played at Stallwood at guards, Pierre Russell and Dave Robois at forwards and Roger Brown at center has given KU some of its best play of the season. But it also shows that changes, appears to be Owens' choice.

League Play Increases Saturday
The heat of the Big Eight race resumes this weekend after a slowdown the last ten days while some schools were taking final examinations.
Headliner game Saturday will pit league-leading Miami, 3-0, against Oklahoma, 2-2 and tie for fourth in the conference with Kansas State, also 2-2, and Nebraska, 1-1.
The fourth encounter will find Nebraska, 1 in league, come off a two-week layoff and travel to Stillwater to meet the Oklahoma Cowboys. The Cornhuskers, generally concur, mean to give Kansas the most trouble, also this game as essential in their title hues.
The game will mark the first league action for the Tigers in ten days. For the Sooners, the game will be critical after dropping their second league game Monday night in Los Angeles. The game will be played in Norman and is the conference weekly televised game.
The Jayhawks will travel to Ames Saturday night where they always find it tough to win. Again, a victory is essential to KU if it is to stay close to Missouri.
Activate连续 Monday with the big game being Kansas State at Kansas. Another big game, Nebraska visit Oklahoma. Milwaukee will travel to Stillwater to meet Oklahoma State.
Kansas and SMU Dive Into Action Saturday
By JIMHOFFMAN
Kansan Sports Writer
The swimming Mustangs from Southern Methodist University come to town Saturday for a meet.
This is the most important dual meet in which Kansas will compete this year and coach Dick Reamon hopes to fill Robinson Natatorium.
"If we don’t, I’m going to be disappointed," added Reamon. "It’s the only sport event scheduled for this Saturday night. We planned it that way in order to get as many fans out as possible. And since it only takes a student I D. I see no excuse why we don’t fill this place."
The last time SMU came to Lawrence, two years ago, they went away with a 61-52 margin of victory. That meet was won on the last event as Jerry Heidenrich of SMU anchored their 40-yard freestyle relay team to a narrow threefoot win. The score before that was from 54 to 52 and the seven points of a relay victory could have turned the meet either way.
They were ranked sixth nationally by Collegiate Swimming News at the start of the season, and that was because they benedit to say that we didn't want to win them. One they are one of the finest swimming schools in the midwest and have a rich curriculum. Besides, they 'we beaten us for the last five years.'
Along with the Heidenrich, SMU boys team, an olympic Medalist for the United States, the star-scorer sophomore Paul Tietze who, two years ago, had the fastest recorded time in the fifty yard freestyle in the nation. With these stars, the team contains no less than eight All-Americans.
SMU has captured fourteen Southwest Conference titles and have lost only one dual match in the past 19 years. That single loss was to last year's Big Ten titlist. Mighy
The Kansas swimmers have an undefeated record this year with their 65-30 win over Iowa State last week and have not lost an interclass dual meet in the last three years.
"We consider this meet important enough
to alter our training schedule," Reason said Thursday. "We have reached a plateau, I think, as far as conditioning is concerned. Earlier this week we started working on our quickness and speed. Some of the guys were sore for a while but they're over it now. Today we are working on feeling our stroke through the water rather than bullying our way through it. We're learning how important enough to shave down for. We'll save that for the championship meets."
"Both teams are strong in the freestyle events," added Reamon. "We will have to win over the defending champions of the relays to win the meet. The best races Saturday night will be in the 50, 100, and 200 yard freestyle competition and the 400 yard race. We'll win all American freestyle relay teams."
Reamons both teams as being strong but hopes that Kareas' lack of balance will be addressed.
Reason said he didn't like to pick or predict wins. He said rather, that the strengths of each team would decide the outcome.
