Bitner, Nieder Suffering Back And Arm Injuries
Both of KU's 1955 NCAA champion weightmen, Les Bitner and Bill Nieder, are hampered by injuries after leading the field in the Midwest's renowned Texas-Kansas-Drake relays circuit.
Missed Third Triple
Bitner, NCAA javelin champion faced with his toughest competition to date at Drake last Saturday, still figured to have a chance at first, but was forced to drop out after only two preliminary throws with pulled back muscles—later believed to be a slipped disc.
Bitner's untimely injury robbed the Jayhawks of the singular honor of placing first in all three weight events at each of the three cinder festivals—which would have made KU the first school in the history of the three meets to have won a triple-triple crown.
However, Bitter's teammates, Jim Londerholm and John Parker, upheld Kansas' spear-tossing eminence by finishing fourth and fifth at Drake after Bitter was forced to withdraw from competition.
Shot-putter Nieder, who became the second man in history to break the 60-foot barrier April 14, with a put of 60 feet 3 inches, is suffering from a sore right arm and will be forced to ease up a bit against Ft. Leonard Wood next Saturday, according to Jack Warner, assistant track coach.
Nieder will be back trying for the world record in the near future, and Warner said that Bitner's condition wasn't serious, even though it is duoobful that the red-headed national champion will throw against the soldiers Saturday.

Smith 3-2 Choice In TV Fight
HOUSTON (UP) — Lightweight champion Wallace (Bud) Smith, chastened by recent poundings from a pair of wetterwings, was a scant 3-2 favorite today over ambitious Joe Brown of New Orleans in their TV-10-rounder tonight.
The pair, with Smith at 139 pounds and Brown at 137 for the non-title go, meet in a bout expected to be viewed by some 40-million TV fans as well as a local crowd of some 9,000, one of the biggest crowds ever to see a fight in Texas.
Brown, a 29-year-old Negro who has stopped his last four opponents while battling his way back into the division's upper crust for the first time since 1952, wants a title shot.
K-State, OU Also Cancelled
Kansas State's second baseball game with Oklahoma was the second Big Seven game to be rained out Tuesday. K-State defeated OU on Monday, 4 to 3 in 13 innings.

Cardinals Trade LaPalme
St. LOUIS-Lefflander Paul LaPalme, pounded hard in his only appearance this season, was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to Cincinnati Tuesday for a Pacific Coast League second baseman. The Cardinals received 25-year-old Milton Smith, who was hitting .447 in his first 12 games with Seattle this season.
Delany To Race Against Landy
LOS ANGELES—Villanova miler Ron Delany, undefeated in indoor races this past winter, Tuesday joined the field of milers that plan to race against record-holder John Landy of Australia this Saturday.
Delany, who hails from Northern Ireland and is a sophomore, turned in a 4:04.9 mile a couple of weeks ago. Landy was present when Willis O. Hunter, athletic director of the University of Southern California, announced that Delany would run.
"I think he is capable of four minutes." Landy said.
While the 26-year-old school master from "Down Under" would not predict that he would shave any time off his 3:58 world mile mark Saturday at Los Angeles' Memorial Coliseum, he did declare:
“There’s no doubt that I can better my 3:58 at some time.”
"I hope I run well." Delany said when he heard he was going to race for sure against Landy.
Landy said that for his record attempt at the University of Southern California-University of California dual track meet at Los Angeles, he plans to run the first two quarter-miles in one minute each and then "let 'er go."

VMI Won't Host AAU Meet
LEXINGTON, Va.-Virginia Military Institute took a slap at the AAU Tuesday, saying that it will withdraw as co-host of the state AAU track meet here May 26 because of an adverse ruling on William and Mary's track eligibility.
The William and Mary track team
was ruled ineligible by the AAU after members of the team ran against Wes Santee.
Additional Olympic events substituted each four years in the national collegiate track meet are the 100, 200, and 400-meter dashes, and the 800 and 1,500 meter runs.
"We want no part of their meet, We will neither help run it off nor participate in it," said Col. M. P. Echols, VMI athletic director.
Tom Poor, "The Kansas Grass-hopper," former Kansas high-jumper, is the only man to ever win the high-jump three consecutive years in the Kansas Relays.
