Nieder Stars, KU Wins 5th Big7 Title
The University of Kansas' No. 1 Olympic hope, Bill Nieder, put the shot 60 feet $3 \frac{3}{4}$ inches May 19 at Manhattan, shattering the intercollegiate mark of 60 feet 3 inches, and in doing so, he overshaded four other record-breaking performances as Kansas marched to its fifth straight Big Seven outdoor track title.
Nieder's throw marked the third time within two months that he has surpassed the currently recognized college standard of 59 feet $2\frac{1}{4}$ inches held by Parry O'Brien. Nieder also received the Henry Schulte trophy for the second straight year for being the meet's outstanding athlete.
KU, in amassing $154_{1/2}$ points to second-place Oklahoma's 71, completed its fifth consecutive grand slam in Big Seven track, having won all conference titles for the past five years in cross-country, indoor, and outdoor track.
The Jayhawkers picked up points in all events but two—the hurdles—and collected nine first places in 15 events. Their heaviest point splurgue was in the mile and two-mile, with 24 and 20 points.
Sophomore Al Oerter was the only other Jayhawker to surpass a record, sailing the discus 183 feet 5 feet his best effort thus far this spring.
Dick Blair of KU flashed to a double victory in the 100 and 220-yard dashes in the times of .99.7 and .21.1 and was awarded the Shannon Douglas trophy, symbol of 100-yard dash supremacy.
Kansas' most disheartening losses were sustained by miler Al Frame and javelin titlist Les Bitner. Frame, who was seeking to repeat his double victories in the 880-yard run and the mile, was passed in the home stretch by KU's Hal Long. Frame then finished sixth in the half-mile.
Les Bitter was unable to erase Friday's conference record set by Colorado's Ken Yob at 220 feet 10 inches, throwing only 218-1 the following day.

After dropping the first set Oklahoman Barry Walraven went on to defeat the defending Big Seven singles champion, Bob Riley of KU, 8-10, 6-4, 6-3, in the finals of the conference tournament at Manhattan Saturday. Kansas placed fourth in team scoring with 8 points.
Riley Loses; KU Tennis Team 5th
Walraven a junior, was the 1955 No.2 singles winner. The defeat for Riley was only his third in two years of collegiate competition. Riley won last year's top singles crown by defeating Walraven's teammate, Ken Taylor.
Colorado won the team honors, however, by capturing all four of the remaining singles playoffs. Colorado's solo champions are Larry Wright, Dave Stewart, Reid Rundell, and Bob Wright.
Walraven and teammate Dennis Cross took the No. 1 doubles, and Ted Hampe and Ed Duncan of Iowa State the No. 2 doubles.
The only other Jayhawkers to reach the finals were Riley and sophomore Gene Kane, who were defeated by Hampe and Duncan, 5-7, 6-1, 6-0, in the doubles finals.
Kansan No. 5 man Bud Burke moved to the semi-finals by downing Ron Sley of Iowa State and Don Wainscott of K-State in the first day of the tournament. But he was knocked out of competition the following morning by the No. 5 champion. Bob Wright.
Team scoring saw Colorado first with 12 points, Iowa State 10, Oklahoma 9, Kansas 8, Missouri 5, Kansas State 3, and Nebraska 2.
In 1950 Yogi Berra enjoyed his best season at bat, hitting .322, with 28 home runs, and leading all American League catchers in putouts with 777 and assists with 64.
Richards Defends Title; Golfers 2nd In Big 7
Captain Bob Richards successfully defended his Big Seven individual golf crown by firing a four-over-par 214 in the 54-hole tournament in Manhattan Friday and Saturday.
Richards' efforts were not enough though, as Oklahoma regained its team title. The Sooners carded an 890 stroke total to finish 11 strokes ahead of the second place Jayhawks.
Shooting a one under par 69 on the final 18 holes, Oklahoma's Tom Black took second in the individual scoring with a 216 total. He was followed Kansas' Steve Sweeon Smith with 219 KU's Wus, Gene Elensti, who Urs fired a. 220
Richards never lost the lead in
the tournament, as he shot a 69 and a 72 in the 36 hole round Friday and finished with a three over par 73 Saturday. He won the event with a six over par 222 last year when the tournament was played at the Lawrence Country Club. Elstun, playing his first match for Kansas, fired rounds of 76-74-70 for his 220 total.
Kansas State's home course advantage coupled with the advantage of having four Manhattan boys on the team was not enough to capture the title, and the Wildcats finished third place with a 922.
Colorado, co-champions with Oklahoma last year, finished fourth with a 934. They were followed by Nebraska, 942; Iowa State, 945; and Missouri, 947.
Wiley's one bad inning was the eighth, when the Buffs forced across four runs. Gary Russell finished the game for Wiley, coming on in the eighth.
Eddie Dater and Jim Trombold also had two hits each.
In the second game, Jim Trombold climaxed a nine-run ninth inning rally with a three-run homer to whip the Buffs 22 to 13.
The Jayhawkers blasted 13 hits in the first game, to back the eight hit pitching of Kansas' No. 1 hurler Ron Wiley, Kansas pounded three Buff hurlers with shortstop Barry Robertson leading the hitting attack with four for five at the plate. Two of Robertson's hits were doubles, a total of five runs batted in.
Lefty Gary Fenity got his fourth win of the season, but needed help from Bob Shirley and Gary Russell. Fenity gave up four hits in 51% innings.
Pounding out a total of 34 hits in their two-game series with Colorado, the Kansas nine moved into third place in the Big Seven race by sweeping the series from the Buffaloos, 10 to 6, and 22 to 13.
The Tigers have a league record of 7 victories and 2 defeats, while the third place Jayhawkers have a loop record of 7 victories and 5 defeats. The series with Missouri will complete the Jayhawkers' season.
Leading the 22 hit attack for the Jayhawkers again was shortstop Robertson with four for six, again two of his hits being doubles. He had a total of eight hits in eleven times at bat for the series.
Hawks Sweep CU Series,10-6,22-13
The Jayhawkers meet the league-leading Missouri Tigers in a two-game series today and Tuesday. The Tigers buried the Jayhawkers in their first meeting of the season, 18 to 1, and 14 to 5.
Last year Mickey Mantle led the American League in home runs—37 —batted in 99 runs—and hit 306 to tie for fifth place in league batting.
