Indoor Trackmen Open By DefeatingOU56-48
A Kansas sweep in the mile and two-mile runs enabled Coach Bill Easton's track squad to build up a substantial lead and withstand a late Oklahoma attempt to spoil the dedication of the new Allen Field House track Saturday 56-48.
Going into the last event, the broad jump, Kansas held a 50-45 edge. A first and second in this event for the Sooners would have given them the meet. But Frank Mastin of Kansas, on his last jump, leaped 23 feet 91 inches to edge out Erwin Cook, the Sooners indoor and outdoor Big Seven champ by one inch. This was one of the six records that was broken in the meet. The old record was 23 feet.
Long Nieder Effort
Bill Nieder Kansas' NCAA shot put king, tossed the shot 58 feet $ \frac{5}{2} $ inches, nearly eight feet better than the old meet record. His heave was also within a foot of the world's indoor record of 59 feet $ \frac{5}{2} $ inches set by Parry O'Brien.
The man Kansas perhaps feared the most. Bob Derrick, gave ample warning that when the conference meet rolls around in March, he'll be the man to beat in the hurdles. He finished second in both the high and low hurdles although he underwent an appendectomy Jan. 13.
Denton High Scorer
The meet's high scorer and only double winner was Jim Denton of the Sooners with 114 points. He raced to a first place in the 60-yard dash and 60-yard low hurdles. In the low hurdles he set a new record of 30.9.
Hal Long of KU took first place in the 880-yard run but Oklahoma grabbed the other two places.
The two-mile race saw Al Frame and Jerry McNeal, both of KU, sticking close together for 14 laps before Frame turned on the steam and won going away. His time of 9:26.7 set a new meet record. Bob Nicholson overtook Don Ladd of Oklahoma on the last lap and placed third behind McNeal to give KU the sweep.
Sooners Set Relay Mark
Oklahoma's Chuck Folsom clipped two-tenths of a second off the old record of :50.7 set by Jerry Meader of Oklahoma in the 440-yard dash.
The Sooners' winning mile relay team of Folsom, John Dahl, Phil Fraizer, and Dave Smith lowered the jumpway last year to good since 1945. The time was: 3:24
Bernie Gay, Jan Howell, and Verlyn Schmidt swept the mile for the Jayhawkers.
Hendrick Kruger, Oklahoma's outdoor conference pole vault champion from Swellendam, South Africa, vaulted 14 feet, just $ \frac{3}{4} $ of an inch off the meet record.

Play Billiards By Telegraph
Qualification matches for the intercollegiate telegraphic billiards tournament began today, and will continue until Monday, Feb. 13. in the Jay Bowl of the Student Union.
Competition, which is open to both students and faculty members, is in three divisions: pocket billiards, straight-rail billiards, and three-rail billiards.
The top three qualifiers in each division will compete in the national telegraphic matches starting Feb. 14. There is no entry fee.
There also will be competition for women students in pocket billiards.
NEW YORK (U.P.)-Lanky Dave Sime, the red-haired Duke speedster who appears to be America's brightest new track hope for the forthcoming Olympic games, was drawing more and more praise for his fine finishing kick today but was much more concerned with his "poor starts."
The six-foot, two-inch Sime, unbeaten in the sprints this year, got off poorly in the 60-yard dash in Saturday night's Millrose games at Madison Square Garden but won the event anyway in 6.2 because of his patented strong finish.
"I need a lot more work on my starts," he admitted today. "Winning in the Garden was a great thrill but I really surprised myself."
Even with the bad start, however, the Fairlawn, N.J., flash nosed out heralded Johnny Haines of the University of Pennsylvania. George Syndor of Villanova was third and Brooks Johnson of Tufts fourth.
