UP AND OVER—Malcolm Marks of Texas A&M soars high into the air to clear the bar at 13 feet $ 8 \frac{4}{3} $ inches in the pole vaulting event. His effort was top jump of the day which won him first in that event.
THE WINNER, HANDS UP-Thane Baker of Kansas State college puts on a last burst of speed to nose out a win in the 100-yard dash. His time was 10 seconds flat. The Wildcat was slow in coming out of the blocks but finished with a burst to outdistance his competitors.
NEARLY A RECORD—John Bennett of Marquette sails high through the air to post a broad jump of 25 feet 4 inches. The record for the event is 25 feet 4 3/8 inches, but in his final jump Bennett failed to break the record.
INTO THE AIR—Darrow Hooper of Texas A&M exerts a mighty heave to thrust the 16-pound shot into the air to win the shot put. He was voted the most outstanding athlete at the Kansas Relays and is the only athlete to win two events three consecutive years. He won the discus throw that morning.
HONOR UPON HONOR—Bruce Drummond receives his trophy from Glenn Cunningham after winning the Glenn Cunningham mile. Drummond posted a 4:15.1 run to win the event. Cunningham is a former Kansas miler; and the event was named in his honor.
ALMOST BUT NOT QUITE—Arnold Betton attempts to break the Kansas Relay high jump record. He already had won the event with a jump of 6 feet $ \frac{6}{3} $ inches, but in his attempts to break the existing record he could not clear the bar.
