Bitner May Top Javelin Record
Les Bitner, Kansas' astounding new javelin thrower, recorded that cross-country cast at the Arkansas Relays, with a borrowed wand. Furthermore, his coach, Bill Easton, had to issue an edict to persuade the red-thatched junior to fling it even once.
In case you overlooked the heave among the agate type of the summary, Bitner's winning throw at Favetteville last Saturday measured 226-1. This is less than two feet behind Bill Miller's national collegiate record of 237-10 for Tempe State in 1951. It also is the nation's most lengthy peg of the season to date.
And it surpassed standards on four Midlands' fronts so widely the old record-holders would need to form a relay team to overhaul the new king.
But back to the borrowed spear and Easton's insistence upon a trial with it. The Jayhawk bossman, never one to miss a bet, asked the loan of a Bud Held model from Dick Ganslen, one-time NCAA Pole-Vault champion from Columbia, who has gained a measure of fame with his intensive study of field events. Ganslen now is in the physiology department at Arkansas. He is conducting considerable research with the Held model.
Held, former Stanford ace, set a world record of 263-10 two years ago after constructing a javelin with a large shaft that still met weight

Jim Bausch,Former KU Great Still ExcelsNow at Fishing
Hot Springs, Ark. —(U,P)— If jarring Jim Bauch just keeps on doing what comes naturally, he will wind up the best fisherman on Lake Ouachita.
3243 South Michigan Avenue Technology Center, Chicago 16, III.
Being best has been a habit with Bausch, now 49 and an enthusiastic fisherman. But he is better known for football, track, and his Olympic Decathlon record.
That year, he won the James E. Sullivan Memorial Trophy, awarded annually to the athlete who "by his performance, example and influence as an amateur, has done the most during the year to advance the cause of sportsmanship."
The 8.462.23 points he scored in San Francisco in 1932 broke the world's record of 8,190 set two years earlier by Finland's Achille Jarvinen.
Bausch was a native South Dakotaan who ranged far afield to enter the University of Kansas, where he was graduated in 1932 after an outstanding collegiate football career.
Two other came Bausch's way last year. One made him a
member of football's Hall of Fame and the other cited him as Kansas University's all-time great athlete
Phi Delts Finish Second in Tourney
Going great until the last game of the finals, the Kansas Phi Delta Theta intramural "A" team, defending national champions of Phi Delta Theta, lost to Minnesota 63-52, at the tournament held in Minneapolis April 1 and 2.
Advancing to the finals, the Kansas team beat Iowa State and North Dakota. Other teams were from Michigan State, South` Dakota, Washburn, and Nebraska.
After finishing in second place, the Kansas team also placed three players on the eight-man all-star team. Those receiving the honor were Don Heath, Bob Richards, and Dean Graves.
Roundout out the roster for the Kansas team were Frank Becker, Dan Creitz. Kent Mueller, Dick Sandifer and Dusty Milledge.
Tiemeier Will Start In Baseball Opener
Lefty Wayne "Pete" Tiemeier will draw the starting pitching assignment as Coach Floyd Temple's 1955 baseball squad opens the home season with a return engagement with the University of Arkansas at 3 p.m. tomorrow. $ \textcircled{4} $
The Jayhawks, who have won two and lost four to date, dropped two error-studded games to the Razorbacks at Fayetteville over the holidays. Gary Fenity lost one of these games, 9 to 3, when the Arkansas team got six unearned runs. Tiemie dropped the other contest 1 to 0 on an unearned run after hurling a five hitter.
Kansas and Arkansas will tangle again at 11 a.m. Saturday with righthander Ben Dalton starting on the mound for Kansas. Dalton hurled an impressive two-hit shutout against Memphis Naval Air station on the road last week.
Starting pitchers for Coach Bill Ferrill's Porkers probably will be Tom Cusack, who beat the defending NCAA champion Missouri team 2 to 1 in a 10-inning game, and Charley Bogan, a lefthander. Both Cusack and Bogan beat the Jayhawks at Fayetteville.
Arkansas boasts two top-notch performers in catcher Pression Carpenter, who was a standout on the Porker's Southwest conference championship football squad, and in first baseman Joe Kretschmar. Kretschmar is a fine hitter and provided most of the heavy stick work against Kansas.
Providing the Kansas nine plays good ball, Coach Temple feels he should win at least one of the encounters here with a chance of sweeping the series. Ragged fielding lost both games at Fayetteville but the Kansas squad showed signs of settling down in the two games it took from Memphis.
Starting lineup in tomorrow's game probably will find Tiemere pitching, Loren "Fuzzy" Martin, catching, Bill Heitholt at first, Don Steinmeyer at second, Gary "Goose" Padgett at short, captain Forrest "Punkey" Hogland at third, and Dick Blowey, Bobby Conn, and Don Dixon in the outfield.
