Kansas Takes 2nd In M-State Relays
A potent indoor Kansas track team served notice of serious designs on its fifth straight Big Seven indoor track title, as the Jayhawkers captured an unofficial second place in the Michigan State relavs Saturday.
Paced by Bill Nieder, NCAA shot put champion, Kansas piled up four first places, and placed men in 10 events, for 40 points, one less than the unofficial count for Notre Dame.
Wins Distance Medley
Nieder heaved the shot 57 feet $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches, to set a relays' mark although the effort was below his personal high of 58-5.5$, which is now considered the world's indoor record on a dirt track.
Lou Stroup, KU quartermiler, running the 600-yard dash for the first time of his career, placed second in a time of 1:14.4 behind the winning time of 1:13.9 by Larry French of Kansas State.
A Kansas team of Lowell Janzen, Louis Strop, Hal Long and Al Frame, barely nosed out Notre Dame to win the distance medley 10:08.8. The other gold medal winners for the Jayhawkers were Bernie Gay, a surprise winner in the mile in 4:28.8 and Kent Floerkle in the broad jump with a leap of 24 feet 3% inches. Frank Mastin, who had been the leading Kansas jumper took fifth with a jump of 22 feet 5% inches.
Jan Howell, KU 880-yard performer took third in the 1,000 yard run, while Jerry McNeal, KU sophomore distance ace posted a second place time of 9:31.0 in the two-mile run. Al Oerter, KU's record holding NCAA disc performer, placed third in the shot-put with 51-81'. Dick Blair, back in action after a layoff with injuries, placed fourth in a strong 75-yard dash field.
Cannon Places
Bob Cannon, Kansas high jumper, ended up in a five way tie for fourth with a jump of 6-2. KU's two-mile relay team of Howell, Long, Frame, and Janzen finished in third place.
Kansas will entertain Michigan in a dual meet here Saturday night. The Wolverines finished third in the unofficial relays point total with 30, winning both the sprint medley and the mile relay in record times. Michigan State and Kansas State tied for fourth in the point total with 23 points.
Prep Quintets Keep Pace
TOPEKA—(U.P.)—Kansas’ un- beaten high school basketball teams keep rolling down the victory road. At least ten of the remaining 15 prep teams scored victories Friday night or Saturday night, or both nights.
The latter was the case with Wy- andotte, the No. 1 ranked club in Kansas, as the Bulldogs stretched their winning streak to 22 games over a two-season period. On Friday evening, the Kansas Citians walloped Washington 67-31, and then levelled Leavenworth 65-43 Saturday night.
Newton's Railroaders, the No. 2 rated team in the United Press coaches poll, also picked up two victories—but with difficulty. Newton won the Ark Valley crown by getting past Wichita North 46-43 Friday night, then winning an overtime game from Wichita East 39-37 the next evening.
The Hays Cadets, who are still with a perfect record, made it 13 in a row with a close 53-50 triumph over Guymon, Okla. The Cadets are the only class AA team unbeaten besides Wyandotte.
Newton, however, is not unde feated, having dropped a one-point margin overtime battle to Hutchinson.
There is just one Class A club yet to lose. Fredonia stretched its string of victories to 13 in a lopsided 45-16 rout of Garnett.
In class BB unbeaten Alma won over Harvievey 39-22 and unbeaten Linn picked up the Washington Yankees championship 51-30 over Clifton.
Five undefeated class BB teams posted victories. Benedict beat Altoona 47-39, Burdett beat Rosel 50-42, Portis beat Kensington 75-50, Ramona beat Clements 99-30 and Seneca beat Powhattan 55-51.
Iowa State's victory over Vanderbilt earlier this season is the only game the Commodores have dropped this season.

NEW YORK (U.P.)—The mile may have lost its traditional place as the "glamor race," but the evidence continues to pile up from the indoor track season that the United States will have its usual brilliant team in this year's Olympic games.
Olympic Hopes Bright For US
University Daily Kansan Page 5
The latest returns today are world record performances by shot putter Parry O'Brien and speedy Charley Jenkins, plus star efforts by Bob Richards, Arnie Sowell, Lee Calhoun, and Bob Barksdale, in Saturday night's New York A.C. games at Madison Square Garden.
The Baxter Mile usually is the top event of this carnival, but a poor field, a slow race, and a debated decision left the fans booing and tossing paper down on the track.
Delaney Wins Mile
Irishman Ron Delany of Villanova won the mile, his fifth straight this season. But the time was a dull 4:14, the "big stars" were missing, and a lot of folks thought Delany should have been disqualified for a shoving incident with George King of New York University on the next-to-last lap.
The fans also did some booing when Villanova's George Sydnor was named the winner by an eyelash over Duke's Dave Sime in the 60-yard dash. Sime, sensation of the sprints got his usual bad start, and either just was—or just wasn't—nipped by Sydnor at the tape, depending on where you sat and whom you were rooting for.
But O'Brien was tremendous. The world shot put record holder flipped the ball 59 feet, 9 inches for a new indoor record—O'Brien is the only man who's ever passed the 60-foot mark, and his outdoor record is 60 feet, 10 inches.
Again Over 15 Feet
Again Over 15 Feet Richards, Olympic pole vault champion, soared over the 15-foot mark for the 89th time in his career with 15 feet, 1 inch and continues to seem a certain gold medal winner in this year's Olympics.
Next on the track schedule is the National AAU indoor championships, also at Madison Square Garden, this Saturday.
But Wes Santee, the first miler in U.S. history who could restore the mile to its traditional spot, will still be absent. The AAU committee investigating his amateur standing reports Feb. 19. Santee, who had been asked not to compete until then, is not competing—but says it's because of the pressure of "personal business."

Swimmers Break 2 School Records In Beating K-State
The University of Kansas swimming team topped two school records Saturday, as it easily defeated the Kansas State Wildcats, 51-33, in Robinson Pool. It was the first meeting of the two tank crews in eight years.
Don Matsuoha of K-State was the best individual performer of the meet. He won the 220-yard race with a 2.31:0 time and the 440-yard free style in a time of 5.381.
Steve Myers of Kansas won the
The new records were set in the 300-yard medley relay and the 100-yard free style. The midley team, composed of Pete Thompson, Tom Clevenger and Paul Burke broke the old mark of 3:15.9 with a time of 3:15.0.
Steve Myers of Kansas won the diving event with 182 points.
Chuck Edwards, KU's competing coach and the team's high scorer, raced to a 54.8 time in the 100-yard free style, bettering the old record of 56.5. Edwards also took first in the 60-year free style in .31.5.
The victory was KU's second in three outings. It now has triumphs over Nebraska and K-State and lost a close two-point decision to Colorado. Kansas' next home meet will be at 8 p.m. next Saturday against Oklahoma, the defending Big Seven champion.

Team Wasn't Fiddlin' As Phog's Car Burns
When Phog Allen went out to his car to drive home after the Nebraska game Feb. 11, he found smoke pouring out from burning seat unholstery.
"Nobody knows how it started." Allen said. "When I drove up before the game I thought I smelled something, but I didn't pay much attention."
The car was the Cadillac presented to him at the dedication of Allen Field House last March 1. Allen and his son, Milt, a Lawrence attorney, soon had the fire under control with a hand fire extinguisher. Allen said the fire may have been started by defective wiring.
