Kansas Track Team Favored In Big Seven Outdoor Meet
Coach Bill Easton's defending indoor champion Jayhawker tracks squad, sensations of the recent Drake Relays and all-conquering in dual outdoor competition, is the popular choice in the 24th annual Big Seven outdoor track and field meet, a pre-Olympic test, at Norman, Okla., tomorrow and Saturday.
The Jayhawkers could be challenged by Kansas State, Oklahoma and Colorado. Kansas is expected to run rings around the field in the nine races—especially the distance runs — but hasn't shown solid strength in any field event except the pole vault where Jim Floyd is a strong threat to bring the high bar title back to Mt. Oread.
Preliminaries on Oklahoma's speedy new outdoor track begin at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow with the finals being run off at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
And if the weather is favorable, new conference outdoor records are possible in any one of seven events -220, 440, mile, two-mile, mile relay, shot put and broad jump.
Easton's forces will overload every flat race from the quarter mile through the two-mile and also shoot for a kill in the low hurdles and a first or second in the mile relay.
The hottest man in Kansas' stables is Wes Santee—thought by many to be the greatest threat to the four-minute mile. The great sophomore miler has, in five weeks, run seven miles races under 4:13—4:12.6 at the Texas Relays. 4:12.3 against Nebraska. 4:17.1 at the Kansas Relays.
4:11.1 against Missouri 4:08.8 against Kansas State and 4:07.2 and 4:06.7 on successive days at the Drake Relays.
Besides the careening cowboy, Easton can counter with Herb Semper. Big Seven indoor and outdoor record-holder at two-miles; Art Dalzell, 4:18 for the mile and 1:53.1 for the half; Keith Palmquist, a 4:22 miler; Norm Bittner, a 9:26 two miler; Dave Fisher's 1:54.7 in the half, Bob Devinney's 47.3, John Reiderer's 47.7, Don Smith's 48.4 and Frank Cindrich's 48.4 on 440 relay legs at Drake.
The final mile relay will match the two fastest quartets in the history of the Big Seven, Kansas, which set a new Drake Relays record of 3:13.1, and Oklahoma, which lost an identical clocking at Texas because one of her runs was over the team threats. Either or both teams should clock below Kansas State's 16-year old record of 3:17.6.
While Thane Baker, Kansas State's wingfooted sprinter, isn't expected to break the 100-yard dash mark of 9.4, he does pose a threat to the 21.2 existing 220-yard standard. Baker clocked a 20.8 220 against Kansas, four-tenths of a second under the current mark.
Either Baker or Oklahoma's J.
W. Marshburn could break the 440-
yard mark of 48.0. Marshburn has
outgrown 47.3 to 47.8 in the quarter
mile.
Kansas' DeVinney and Nebraska's Don Bedker will be the ones to beat, in the low and high hurdle races, respectively. DeVinney is the new national champion in the 440-yard hurdles. Bedkar, double indoor champ, has done 14.4 in the highs.
Colorado could put up some formidable competition of both DeVinney and Bedker in their one-two hurdle punch of Merwin Hodel and Pat Hindman.
The Buffs' Wally Tanner, defending indoor champ in the shot put, will probably face off with Iowa State's Jim Robertson in their specialty, the shot.
In the broad jump, it's be Gene Wilson, Kansas State's Negro star and Kansas Relays winner, Veryl Switzer, also of the Wildcats, and Glenn Beerline of Nebraska. These three will be after Oklahoma's mustached leaper, Neville Price, who kangarooed 25 feet, $2 1/4 inches at the Texas Relays and Sunday was chosen on the South African Olympic team.
