Despite the fact that Kansas Bill Nieder, star shot putter, NCAA javelin titlist Les Bitner and broad-jumper Kent Floerke may not be at top strength, due to recent injuries, the Jayhawkers are still tabulated as the favorites, particularly so by Bengal track coach Tom Botts, who has taken a dim view of his squad's point potential.
Kansas' Jayhawkers, still below full strength, meet the Missouri Tigers Saturday in Columbia in the two teams' 48th outdoor track meet
Botts remarked that Missouri might be capable of picking up 47 points, but added that perhaps even that is an optimistic prediction.
"If we can slam both hurdles, which I doubt, with (John) McIntyre a possible scratch, we might collect 47 points."
Hurdler Injured
McIntyre reinjured a leg in the Army meet of May 5 at West Point, N.Y., in which the Tigers rolled to a comfortable 81 to 59 victory over the Cadets.
McIntyre's stablemate, Bill Constantine, came through both hurdle tests in good shape, winning the highs in :14.7 and finishing second in the lows.
Kansas holds the record in 10 or the 15 events on the record books and stands a good chance of wrestling one more mark from MU's grasp, the discus, now held by Mel Sheehan at 163 feet $ \frac{9}{2} $ inches. KU's Al Oerter has consistently thrown past 170 feet.
One of the top individual performances of the Army meet came from Pete Orr, who flashed to a double victory in the 220 and 440-yard dashes, plus anchoring the mile relay team with a
Other events in which records could possibly be set are the 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, high jump, broad jump, pole vault, shot put, and javelin. Kansas', Dick Blair, Big Sever

sprint champion, will aim for a double record-breaking effort in the 100 and 220. His best time so far this spring was recorded at the Drake Relays in :9.5. The record is :9.7.
Kent Floerke, Drake Relays broad jump titlist with 24 feet 4 inches, could set a new mark if he doesn't have a recurrence of a recent leg injury. The shot put record will be in infinite danger of falling if its present holder, Bill Nieder, does compete.
Three Deep In Javelin

Even if javelin thrower Les Bitner does not equal his usual performance of around 220 feet, the mark could easily be broken by either Jim Londerholm or John Parker, both of whom have surpassed 206 feet this year.
Missouri's Bob Lang will be gunning to add another high jump record to his credit, having set a new Big Seven Indoor mark at 6 feet $ \frac{7}{4} $ inches. The MU-KU record is 6 feet $ \frac{5}{4} $ inches.
In the pole vault, Kansas' Dave Tams and MU's Karl Englund will hook up in a duel to soar higher than 13 feet $6\frac{1}{4}$ inches, the present record. Tams and England tied at 13-7 in the Big Seven Indoor meet.
Kansas golfers will be going after the season's second victory over a strong Kansas State team Saturday at Manhattan Country Club.
KU Golfers Meet Cats Saturday
The Jayhawks earlier won 7-5 over the Wildcats when they met in a dual meet at the Lawrence Country Club. Led by captain Bob Richards, KU has won its last four dual meets and will seek to make it five in a row for a season's record of 8-6 compared to K-State's 9-5 record.
The Manhattan Country Club also will be the scene of the Big Seven tournament May 18-19. This is the Jayhawkers' first opportunity to play the course this spring.
Dave Smith will lead the powerful K-Staters against Kansas. He has fired several sub-par rounds on the Manhattan course this spring and also holds an earlier victory over Richards as he nosed him by one stroke in the previous match.
Filling out the Kansas State team will be Ron Young, Jerry Smith, Dave Pfuetze, and Hayes Walker. Both Smith, Pfuetze, and Young are Manhattan products and should help place the Wildcats in the favorite's role for the conference tournament.
Jim Davies, Ed MacGee, Noe Rooney, Bill Sayler, and J. P. Jones will join Richards in the six-man match.

EUGENE, Ore. (UP) Jim Bailey will skip the 880-yard run and concentrate on the mile in the Pacific Coast Conference, Northern Division track meet Saturday. Bailey defeated John Landy in a 3:58.6 mile last Saturday.

KU's Netmen Prepare For Busy Pre-Tournament Week
Coach Dick Mechem's often-victorious tennis team starts with a Sunday afternoon meet in Kansas City, and won't let up until near-twilight Saturday, following the finals of the Big Seven tournament at Manhattan.
A long and busy week faces KU netmen as they enter the final leg of pre-tournament scheduled play.
Sunday the Jayhawkers meet the University of Kansas City team, then return to Lawrence to tackle the Kansas State five Monday afternoon at Memorial Stadium courts, their final dual meet of the season before the Big Seven playoffs next Friday and Saturday at Kansas State College.
At this point the KU team has a 5-3 record, losing twice to powerful non-league Washburn of Topeka and once to Missouri. Kan

A recent shuffle in the starting lineup moved letterman Del Hadley, a junior, from fifth man to the sometimes key No. 3 position. Sophomore Gene Kane, a standout in the intra-squad tourney and a steady winner at the beginning of the new season, was moved to the fourth rung, and Bud Burke, who has played No. 4 man previously this season, will man the No. 5 spot.
Bob Riley and Dave Kane will play No. 1 and 2 men in the coming matches but several revisions in the lower three-fifths of the squad have been made.

Baseball Team Opens Series With Missouri
Kansas baseballers battle the league-leading Missouri Tigers in a two-game series today and Saturday, with the outcome of the games possibly determining the two teams' final standing in the Big Seven.
Missouri, who has a 4 victories and one defeat record in the Big Seven, will face right-hander Bob Shirley in the first game of the series. AllBig Seven basketballer Norm Stewart will be on the mound for the Tigers. Coach Temple named sophomore Ron Wiley to pitch Saturday's game.
Kansas, who has had an off again, on again season, will try to gather the power to upset the Tigers. Right-hander Shirley, who has been nursing a sore arm, is doubtful as to whether or not he will be in top shape for the game. Coach Floyd Temple said he would move left Gary Fenny into a starting role if Shirley's injury did not improve.
With only six games remaining on the Jayhawkers' schedule, they are holding down fifth place in the standings. Missouri is leading the Big Seven by a slim half-game margin over the Oklahoma Sooners.
KU Needs Wins
After a split with the Cyclones of Iowa State last week, 3 to 4, and 8 to 5, the Jayhawkers will have to take both of the Tiger games if they are to stay in contention for the title. The Tiger's lone loss in the Big Seven came last week against the Colorado Buffalooes, 4 to 3.
The Jayhawkers' three defeats in the Big Seven were by K-State 1 to 2, Oklahoma 7 to 8, and Iowa State, for a 2 victories and 3 defeats record.
Tigers Powerful Tigers
The ever-powerful Tigers go into the series with a team hitting average all over 300. The Tigers have also got two fine pitchers in Stewart, and Wade LaDue, with records of four victories and one defeat, and four victories and no defeats respectively.
The leading hitter on the Missouri squad is sophomore catcher John Grace, who is hitting at .409 clip, while two veteran outfielders. Jay Hankins and Bob Musgrave are hitting the ball at .365 and .348 paces.
Other games this weekend in the Big Seven include Colorado, in their first road trip of the season, at Iowa State. Nebraska will take on the
Kansas State Wildcats who are in the Big Seven cellar, at Manhattan.
