KU To Meet Sooners In Allen Track Opener
A change on the Oklahoma Sooner track squad has assured Coach Bill Easton that his Kansas trackmen will have to go all out to win their dedication meet Saturday night in Allen Field House against the Sooners, coached by John Jacobs.
A Jacobs-coached team is a fitting opponent for the opening field house track meet as he is the oldest coach in point of service in the Big Seven. He has been at Oklahoma for 34 years.
The last-minute change is the insertion of Bob Derrick, Oklahoma's great hurdler; into one event, the 60-yard low hurdles, and possibly the 60-yard high hurdles and the 60-yard dash.
Underwent Appendectomy
Derrick, who doubles as a football halfback, underwent an appendectomy soon after the Sooners' Orange Bowl victory over Maryland and wasn't expected to see any action until the latter part of the indoor season.
The meet is a big one for Kansas as it will be the first to be run on the field house track. Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will speak during the brief inaugural ceremony at 7:30 p.m. The first event of the evening, the pole vault, will begin immediately after. The mile relay is the last event, scheduled for 9:15 pm.
His return will be a big boost for OU, a third-place finisher in the conference indoor meet last year at Kansas City. In that meet Derrick set a new world indoor record with a clocking of .67.6 in the 60-yard low hurdles.
Bowers' Record In Jeopardy
Many meet records are expected to topple. Among these, the 880-yard run, 60-yard dash, broad jump, mile, two mile, mile relay, and shot put are the most likely.
Bowers Record in Jeopardy
The 880 record of 1:56.1 set by Pat Bowers of Kansas in test expected to get a severe loss from Lozano and Hal Long of Kansas. Both have dipped under 1:57 in recent workouts. Janzen and Long will be pushed by Oklahoma's Gary Parr and Dick Dudley. Parr ran the distance in 1:55 over an outdoor course this year.
60. the 62-yard dash record of 0:-6.4 also is likely to fall. In practice runs, Captain Dick Blair of Kansas has sped the distance in :66.2.
The broad jump will be loaded with talent, with Kent Floerke the Jayhawk器 hopeful. He has leaped 23 feet 5 inches in practice. Erwin Cook will lead the assault for Oklahoma. Cook is the Big Seven indoor and outdoor champion, having jumped 23 feet $ \frac{5}{4} $ inches indoors and 24 feet 10 7/8 inches outdoors. The current meet record is 23 feet. Jan Bowie, Hermine Gay, Hal Long, Jerry McNeal and Al Frame all have bettered the mile record of 4223 in previous meets or practice drills. Frame has just recovered from a lame thigh and will concentrate on the two-mile run only.
Little Trouble For Nieder The shot put mark of 50 feet $11\frac{1}{2}$
inches, set by Clair Mayes of Oklahoma in 1951, should give NCAA champion, Bill Nieder of Kansas, little trouble. He has exceeded 58 feet this year.

Coach Easton said of the meet, "I hope a large crowd will turn out for the first indoor meet in the field house. They can expect some very close races and an interesting meet. I'd especially like to see a large student turnout."

Wes Withdraws From 3 Meets
NEW YORK — (U.P.)— American mile king Wes Sante "serached" himself today from all races until after Feb. 19, when his hotly debated amateur status will be settled once and for all by the National AAU.
In Oakland, Calif., AAU president Carl Hansen disclosed that he had recommended Santee to withdraw from competition until the Feb. 19 special meeting in New York.
"I do not know whether Santee's action today was a result of my request or not," said Hansen. "But he has been very cooperative all the way through."
Santée, whose withdrawal cited merely "personal business" as his reason, took himself out of the Wanamaker Mile at Saturday night's Millrose Games, the Baxter Mile at the New York A.C. meet on Feb. 11, and the national indoor championship mile at the National AAU championships on Feb. 18.
Santee, who holds the U.S. mile record of 4:00.5 and is regarded as America's best bet to win the 1,500 meter run at this year's Olympic games, was suspended last year by the Missouri Valley AAU on charges that he accepted too much expense money for competing in meets in California last summer.
The most points ever scored against a KU basketball team was 93 by K-State in the 1552 Big Seven pre-season tournament.
