Tidwell Tops KU Showing
HOUSTON, Tex—(Special)—The Kansas track team warmed up for the defense of its national collegiate track crown in sparkling fashion here Friday in the Meet of Champions.
Sprint star Charlie Tidwell shattered meet records in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes in beating the top dash men in the country. The Independence flash tied the world record in winning the 100 meters in 10.1, breaking the meet record of 10.4 held by Bobby Whilden of Texas and the KU school record o 10.4 held by Dick Blair.
In the 200, Tidwell won in 20.3. Whilden also held that record, a 21.1 timing. Blair held the old KU mark at 21.0.
Bill Alley reached his all-time best in eclipsing the national collegiate javelin record with a toss of $ 273-10^{1}{}_{2}. $ Alley's old mark was $ 270-4^{1}{}_{2}. $
Terry Beucher finished third in the event, although he broke the meet record. His throw of 242-812
was his all-time best and gave him third place in the all-time state standings. He moved ahead of KU's Jim Londerholm.
Cliff Cushman and Bob Tague raised the total of new KU school records set here Friday to five.
Cushman finished third in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles, but bettered his own school record of 51.2 (set in the KU Relays this year) with a 50.9 clocking.
Tague ran the 800 meters in 14:8.8 in finishing second to George Kerr of Illinois. Kerr was timed in 14:8.5. Tague's mark broke the 14:9.2 school record set by Wes Santee at Turku, Finland, in 1953.
Dotson was timed in 3:44.8 and San Romani in 3:44.6.
Bill Dotson, the other Kansas individual entry to place, was edged out by Archie San Romani Jr. in the 1500-meter run.
The Kansas 400-meter relay team finished a tenth of a second behind winning Baylor and the Jayhawker 1600-meter relay team was second behind Houston.
Cushman Changes Style For Olympic Trials
Cliff Cushman will try the "Herb McKenley" technique in the 400-meter hurdles as he guns down the late-season stretch toward the final Olympic trials.
This means setting a furious pace through the first half of the race, then getting home the best way he can.
"I hope to run through the first five hurdles in :23.4," he explained. That is approximately halfway through the race.
"It is easier to stay up than to catch up. Most of the men I'll be running against from here in will be coming up to this event. Actually I'm coming down. For four years here I've been running cross-country at three and four miles. I've been running miles and halves. I know what it is to be hurting and can live with it. Anybody who runs a good flight of these has to hurt sometime during the race.
"McKenley ran :20.9 on his first 220 when he set a world record in the quarter. His best time in the 220 was :20.6, so he was running the first half of his quarter about as fast as he could. They said nobody could get in if they set such a pace, but he set a world record.
"I've had the mistaken notion that
Three Swimmers Win Big-8 Honors
Three Kansas swimmers have been named to the Big Eight All Conference swimming team for 1960.
Spinter Eldon Ward, a sophomore, was named in both the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events. John Jeffrey was named in the 200-yard butterfly and Dick Reamon was honored in the 100-yard butterfly.
Oklahoma dominated the team with 26 individual placements in addition to grabbing off the two relay team honors. ___
KU Freshmen Place Third
The Kansas freshman track team finished third in the Big Eight Outdoor Postal Meet in results compiled by the conference office.
The Jayhawkers captured two first places in finishing behind Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Roger Schmanke of Ottawa cleared 13-6 to easily win the pole vault and Pete Talbott of McPherson tossed the javelin 212-0.
I should run off the guys in front of me. This isn't good since you get tired late in the race and must concentrate on every hurdle. You can't watch the other runners even just now and then and concentrate on the hurdles."
Kirk Hagan tied for second in the 880 at 1:55.1, Bill Hayward placed second in the two-mile run at 9:27.0 and Larry Cordell tied for second in the high jump with a leap of 6-3 for the other high Kansas places.
The angular North Dakotaan . . . his home town is Grand Forks . . . has stepped his favorite race in a varsity-record time of :51.2 this spring. This clipped a tenth off his mark, etched at the NCAA at Lincoln.
