Balanced Kansas Team Travels To MS Relays
Kansas will bid for three individual first places and two relay championships when coach Bill Easton's indoor track team competes in the Michigan State Relays Saturday.
The three KU performers who will be shooting at gold medals will be shot-putter Bill Nieder, Dave Tams, pole vaulter, and Frank Mastin, broad jumper.
Nieder's 58-53% effort against Oklahoma in a dual meet here last weekend is being considered as the world's indoor mark under outdoor conditions. He is also the Big Seven indoor and outdoor record holder. Tams, the best polevaulter at KU in recent years, has cleared 13-8 to set a new KU record. Mastin also erected a new school standard in the broad jump with a leap of 23-9½ inches in the Oklahoma dual.
In the relay division, Easton is laying his sight on the distance hedley and two mile relays. Easton for instance can stick sophomore Hal Long and Lowell Janzen in the last two carries of the two-mile. Long was a surprise winner against Oklahoma and has run the 880 as low as 1:52.5 in a NCAA heat. Leading the combination of distance men will be Al Frame, the Summerfield scholar.
Back into action after laying out during the Oklahoma dual are Captain Dick Blair in the sprints and two-miler Tom Rupp. Blair is scheduled to compete in the 75 and 300-yard dashes.
Shift To Wichita Causes Revision
LOUISVILLE—(U.P.) —American Asociation president Ed Doherty today announced a 154-game schedule for 1956 based for the first time in league history on a north-south division rather than east-west arrangement.
With Wichita in the southern portion of the loop will be Louisville, Indianapolis and Charleston, while the northern division will be made up of Denver, Omaha, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The change resulted from the transfer of the Toledo franchise to Wichita, which makes its debut in Triple-A ball this year under the ownership of the Milwaukee Braves.
Season openers are scheduled for April 17, with Denver at Wichita, Omaha at Indianapolis, St. Paul at Louisville, and Minneapolis at Charleston. Second openers April 24 will have Charleston at Denver, Louisville at Omaha, and Wichita at Minneapolis.
St. Paul will open at home against Indianapolis on April 25.
The annual All-Star game will be played July 16 and the season will end Sept. 9.
High Riding Aggies Beat Oklahoma, 68-42
STILLWATER, Okla. (U.P.)—Henry Okaa's high-riding Oklahoma Aggies took an easy 68-42 victory over Oklahoma University here last night, running the Sooner losses to seven in a row.
Aggie forward Mack Carter led scoring with 21 points, followed by teammate V. A. Barnhouse and Oklahoma center Leroy Bacher with 18 each.
A&M, going into the game with a healthy 12-6 record, outplayed Coach Doyle Parrack's eight-man crew throughout the game. The Aggies led at the half, 31-23, and continued to pile up points.
Coach Henry Iba used eight men until the last minute of the contest, when he gave all his squad a chance to play.
Missouri Loses 2nd Track Meet,49-65
IOWA CITY—(U.P.)Iowa, without services of star marler Charles (Deacon) Jones, won seven firsts and swept two events to down Missouri, 65-48, in its opening track meet yesterday.
Jack Davis of Missouri was the only double winner. He took the 65-yard dash and set a new record of 7.7 seconds in the 70-yard low hurdles. The old record was 7.9 by Iowa's Russ Merkel six years ago.
Mack Casket Open To Fans
PHILADELPHIA—(U. P.)—Top baseball executives, government officials and just plain fans by the hundreds will file past the bier of Connie Mack tonight to pay their final respects to "the grand old man of baseball."
The body of the 93-year-old Mack will lie in state for about two and one-half hours beginning at 7 p.m. (EST) at the Oliver Bair funeral home here. Connie's velvet lined casket will be placed among a bank of ferns and floral displays sent from all over the nation.
The viewing will be on the second floor of the mid-city funeral establishment, where ordinarily four viewings are held at the same time. Because of the expected throng, the Mack family has reserved all four parlors and an organ hall.
Key NCS Player Out On Honor Foul
RALEIGH, N. C.,—(U.P.)—Athletic officials of North Carolina State College today sought a new hearing on the case of a basketball star who has been ordered expelled from school because of an undisclosed violation of the student "honor code."
Cliff Hafer, lanky junior who is a k-player on the wolf pack team rated No. 4 nationally by the United Press board of coaches, was found guilty of the charge Wednesday night by an all-student judicial committee, which ordered him to leave school.
Athletic officials said the committee's action appeared to be "highly irregular" and that athletic director Roy Clogston would seek a review of the case.
The Kansas swimming team, under the guidance of competing coach Chuck Edwards, will face Kansas State Saturday in Robinson pool in the first meet between the two schools since 1948. Starting time is 2 p.m.
KU Swimmers To Meet K-State
This is the first year since 1948 that K-State has had a swimming team, but Edwards expects them to be rough, especially in free style. So far this season the Wildcats have defeated Nebraska and tied it once, and own a victory over the Hutchinson Naval Air Base.
KU's victory insured the Jayhawkers of a better season than last year when it lost all five of its meets. The seasonal outlook appears good, with only Iowa State and Oklahoma appearing out of range. Swimming is a major sport in these two Big Seven schools while elsewhere in the conference swimming isn't regarded too highly.
The Jayhawkers will be after their second triumph of the young season. They opened up season's play with an easy win over Nebraska and lost a two-point decision to Colorado last Saturday.
Edwards, a transfer from Purdue, is leading the team in scoring. He races in the 200-yard individual medley, 100-yard free style and anchors the KU 400-yard free-style relay. His time of 2:25.4 in the individual medley Saturday was a Colorado pool record.
Events to be run Saturday include the 300-yard medley relay; 220-yard free style; 50-yard free style; 200-yard individual medley; 100-yard free style; 200-yard back-stroke; 200-yard breast stroke; 440-yard free style; 400-yard free style relay, and diving.
Frisco Seeks No. 44 Tonight
San Francisco seeks to extend its record winning streak to 44 games tonight at the expense of Fresno State. In another big west coast game, UCLA will risk its perfect 6-0 Pacific Coast Conference record against Stanford, the league's surprise team.
