3 Records Fall As KU Trackmen Beat Tigers
Three meet records were broken and one tied Saturday as the University of Kansas Jayhawkers defeated Missouri 59-45 in a Big Seven indoor track and field meet in Allen Field House.
The Kansas victory placed the Jayhawkers as solid favorites for a fifth straight conference indoor championship this Friday and Saturday at Kansas City. KU's closest challengers for the crown appear to be Oklahoma and Missouri, both of whom Kansas has defeated this season.
Bill Nieder, Kansas shot-putter,
and MU's Jack Davis, spinner-
hurder, were the stars of the meet.
Nieder tossed the shot 58 feet, 3
inches to beat by five feet his record last year at Columbia.
Davis was the only double winner.
He broke the 60-yard dash mark with a time of *60.2* and tied the 60-yard low hurdles record in *60.9*.
The pole vault record also was broken as England of Missouri and Dave Tams of Kansas tied at 13 feet, $7 \frac{1}{4}$ inches.

Washburn, Hornets Play For 2nd Place By UNITED PRESS
Emporia State, shooting for its third straight win, hosts Washburn in the final game of the CIC season Tuesday night with hopes of creating a three-way tie for second place. Washburn (5-4) now has sole hold on second, while St. Benedict's (5-5) is third and Emporia State (4-5) fourth.
An Emporia State win would give the triangular tie, while Washburn could solidify its second place spot with a win. Pittsburgh (9-1), the conference champion, swings into action against Bethel at Newton March 5 for the first game of a best-of-three playoff for a NAIA tournament berth.
Games last week saw Pittsburg lose its first game of the season, 83-87 to Emporia State in overtime.

K-State Nears Big 7 Crown
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(U.P.)— Kansas State is only a half game away from clinching at least a tie for the Big Five crown and a crucial game tonight could provide that slim margin.
Colorado has lost only three games. Iowa State, Missouri and Kansas each have lost four.
Kansas State is comfortably on top with only two losses and eight victories. The Wildcats host Missouri this Saturday, and wind up March 6 against Kansas at Lawrence. Winning both those games would give the Wildcats the crown, no matter what the other teams do.
Iowa State is at Colorado, and a Cyclone victory would put Kansas State in for at least a tie.
Besides tonight's affair, Colorado is at Kansas Friday, and on Saturday, Missouri is at Kansas State and Oklahoma at Nebraska.
Iowa State would be out of the running completely if it loses to Colorado tonight. Similarly, any loss by Missouri or Kansas, or victory by Kansas State would put those two out of the running.
Only four games are scheduled this week in the drawn-out, hectic championship race.
| | W | L | Pct | PF | PA |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Kansas State | 8 | 2 | .800 | 704 | 608 |
| Colorado | 8 | 3 | .800 | 690 | 608 |
| Iowa State | 6 | 4 | .600 | 692 | 690 |
| Missouri | 6 | 4 | .600 | 692 | 690 |

| Oklahoma | 7 | 2 | .226 | 635 | 635 |
| Oklahoma | 5 | 1 | .150 | 635 | 635 |
Kansas State hasn't won the Big Seven since Coach Jack Gardner's quintet turned the trick in 1951.
Budge Patty Beats Drobny
Big Seven—Kansas State (8-2)
can clinch a title tie by winning
one of two remaining. Iowa State
(5-3) has four left.
Atlantic Coast—North Carolina State nipped Wake Forest, 80-78, to finish in a tie with North Carolina for regular season title (11-3). But NCAA tourney berth goes to team winning league tourney, March 1-3, and State star Ronnie Shavlik, who suffered a broken wrist in Wake Forest game, is "definitely" out of action.
NICE, France (U.P.)—Budge Patty,
Los Angeles' "gift" to Paris, beat
Jaroslav Drobny of Egypt, 15-13,

in the Cannes indoor tennis championships yesterday while Althea Gibson of New York won the women's title with a 6-1, 6-2 triumph over Shirley Bloomer of Great Britain.

Basketball Showdown Near; League Leaders Established
It's time for the showdown in college basketball, with conference championships, tourney berths, old rivalries, and everything else on the line in the last full week of the regular season.
Ten of the 25 berths in the NCAA tournament were filled today with Southern Methodist, DePaul, and Canisius, the latest additions. But before the week is over, as many as 10 more teams could be added to that array as newly-crowned conference kings.
Here's the major conference situation going into this big week
Big Ten—Illinois and Iowa tied at 10-1 with three left. Each plays tonight as a favorite, then they clash Saturday at Iowa in the game that should decide the title and tourney spot.
Pacific Coast—UCLA has 12-0 mark after setting league score mark in 108-89 rout of Oregon. The Bruins have four left, with two this Friday and Saturday against second-place California (10-2) the ones that should decide.
Ivy—Dartmouth (7-3) seized half-game lead with 74-60 win over Pennsylvania, but Indians are in wide-open race with Columbia (7-4), and Princeton and Pennsylvania won by a tie; left; others have four. League winner may turn down an NCAA berth, however.
Border—Texas Western (7-3) winds up with Texas Tech tonight, and Mexico tomorrow. New Mexico A&M (6-3) has three left and tie could result.
Skyline—Utah (9-2) finished with Colorado A&M Thursday and Wyoming Saturday, needing only to win one to clinch over Brigham Young (8-4).
Southeastern-Alabama (11-0) has three left. Vanderbilt (11-2) has only one left and is eliminated, although second. Kentucky (10-2) has two left. Kentucky thinks eligibility problems at other two might give them NCAA berth, even with a third-place finish.
A&M Saturday, forcing a one-game playoff for NCAA berth.
Southern-George Washington and West Virginia tied for title (10-2), but bid goes to team winning league tourney.
Joel Stubbs of Grinnell led the Pioneers in the close victory over the Jayhawkers. Stubbs, one of the top swimmers in the Midwest, won the 60 and 100-yard individual free style races and anchored the winning relay team.
Swimmers Have Bad Week; Lose To Grinnell And Huskers
The Kansas swimming team lost to Grinnell College Friday at Grinnell, 44-40 and bowed to the Nebraska Cornhuskers 52-32 Saturday, a team it had previously beaten by a score of 50-34.
Kansas was ahead 40-37 going into the last event, the 400-yard free style relay, but Grinnell picked up seven points in this event.
At Lincoln, Kansas saw its Big Seven record drop to .500, dropping its third meet in six starts.
Competing-coach Chuck Edwards of Kansas won two events and was on Kansas' winning relay team. He set a new pool record of 2:25.7 in the 200-yard individual medley race, and won the 100-yard free style in .54.

Podres Reflects Starts Training
By UNITED PRESS
Johnny Podres, who taught the New York Yankees a thing or three in the World Series, disclosed today he learned an important lesson, too.
The series taught me that I can win in the major leagues with two pitches—a fastball and a changeup," the Brooklyn Dodgers' star southpaw said. "So, from now on, my curve ball will be my third pitch. I intend to use it as a waste pitch and not let 'em hit it."
Podres also disclosed that he made about $23,000 during the winter on the strength of his World Series performance.
Podres, who beat the Yankees in the third and seventh games of the 1955 classic, checked into the Dodgers' Vero Beach, Fla., camp yesterday.
"All I know is that I intend to play baseball until the Army calls me," he said. "They'll know where to find me when they want me."
Nine lettermen returned to the 1956 Kansas baseball team. Four were lost in 1955 through graduation.
