KU Trackmen Prepare For Outdoor Season
Coach Bill Easton's Big Seven indoor track and field champions braved cold March winds Monday, as they moved from the comforts of Allen Field House to Memorial Stadium to begin training for the outdoor season.
Having never lost a cross-country title under Easton, and presently holding five straight indoor titles, an outdoor championship would give the Jayhawkers their fifth consecutive grand slam in Big Seven track.
The move outside fortifies the team's total strength by the addition of the javelin and discus, both events being KU strong points. In the javelin KU's Les Bitner is the defending NCAA champion. Sophomore Al Oerter, who holds the national freshman discus record, will strengthen the Jayhawkers in that event
Of course, record-breaking shot putter Bill Nieder will be around to add to KU points in his quest for the 60-foot heave. He won the Big Seven indoor meet in 59 feet 94 inches.
Dick Blair, team co-captain and Big Seven indoor-outdoor sprint champ, will be minus his speediest challenger this spring, Missouri's Jack Davis, who prefers baseball to outdoor track. This should leave Blair with a clear field in league dawn events.
Kansas' distance superiority should be maintained outside as Al Frame, who has run the mile in 4:15.2 unofficially, and Jerry McNeal, outstanding conference twomiler this past indoor season will be back, as will Lowell Janzen in the 880-yard run.
Other outstanding performers are Bob Cannon, a high jumper who has cleared better than 6 feet 6 inches this year; Kent Floerke, and Frank Martin, broad jumpers with marks reaching beyond the 24-foot line; Dave Taus, leading KU pole vaulter, and the mile relay team of Bob Franklin, Dick Blair, and Lou and Larry Stroup.
Coach Easton asks that anyone interested in coming out for track see him at his office in Allen Field House, or at the track dressing room under the east side of the
