Wednesday, April 20, 1960 University Daily Kansan Page 5 Top Stars to Vie In Kansas Relays The 35th annual Kansas Relays this weekend will offer a chance for many of the top athletes in the country to compete in their events, which vary from weights to high jumping. This is the only meet in the country which holds the decathlon, an event or series of events which dates back to Grecian times. It shows the ability of the athlete not in just one or two events, but in ten events. These are the 100-meter dash, 400-meter run, broad jump, shotput, high jump, 110-meter hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1500-meter run. THE KU RELAYS record is held by Phil Munkey of Memphis. His record is 1758 points short of the world mark held by Rafer Johnson of UCLA who had a total of 8302 points. The 400-meter hurdles relay record is 51.3 seconds, held by Gene O'Connor of Kansas State. The American record held by Glen Davis of Ohio State is 49.2 seconds which is actually three-tenths seconds faster than the world record. The Relays record in the 120-yard high hurdles is only two-tenths of a second behind the world record held by Jack Davis. In 1948, Harrison Dillards ran the event in the Relays in 13.6 seconds. THE TWO-MILE run of previous years has been changed in this Olympic year to 5000-meters which is about $3\frac{1}{2}$ miles. The KU Relays mark of 9:06.9 by Jarry Smartt is far from the world record of 8:33.4 held by Sandor Tharos of Hungary. The mile run record is held by Wes Santee in 4:03.1. The world record for the event is 3:57.2. Charlie Tidwell who has tied the world record in the 100-yard dash and who has broken the world record for the 220 by four-tenths of a second should be one of the stand-outs in the Relays. ONE RECORD which seems to be out of reach is the broad jump. The record, held by Ed Gordon, has stood for 29 years. Jessie Owens holds the world record with a leap of 26 feet, 814 inches. One of the relays marks which stands a good chance of being broken is the javelin. Bill Alley, KU star who set the American record last year with a toss of 270 feet, $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches, will be at the Relies to try to better his relays record of 254 feet, 9 inches. Another mark that will surely be broken is the shotput. Bill Nieder who set the record of 59 feet $^{97}$ inches in 1956, set a world record of 65 feet, 7 inches just two weeks ago. Nieder will be trying to better this mark in the relays this weekend. THE WORLD MARK of 196 feet, 5 inches in the discus by Fortune Gordien will probably not be broken but the relays mark of 178 feet 1 inch, held by Al Oerter of Kansas may be topped. John Thomas, who has jumped as high as 7 feet, $ 2 1 / 2 $ inches will be trying to break the high jump mark of 6 feet, 8 3/10 inches set by Bob Walters of Texas. Anyone of several pole vaulters could break the world standard of 15 feet, $8^{1 / 2}$ inches held by Bob Gutouski. THE RELAYS as its name implies, aside from the individual events, has several relay events. The relays record in the four-mile relay, in which each member of a four man team runs a mile, is only five seconds from the American record of 16:52.6 set by the United States Olympic team in 1952. KU holds the record of 16:57.8. By Gabby Wilson Monday marked the end of the American League's eight team race for the pennant—the season opened. The opening day always spells doom for the Kansas City Athletics and the Washington Senators; they are no longer contenders. But this year they have a friend, the Boston Red Sox. While these three teams are playing ring-around-the-cellar, the other five teams in the loop should battle into August for the pennant. Then the Chicago White Sox should begin to show their strength and run away with the title. Al Lopez, Sox manager, said that he expects trouble from the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians, but that was before the Rocky Colavito-Harvey Kuenn trade. The Detroit Tigers are a good bet to finish second with the added home run strength of Rocky. The Tigers now have one of the most effective one-two punches in baseball with Al Kaline's consistency and Colavito's power. The Yankees have the potential to take another pennant but one or two injuries in the wrong places could sink this club into the second division. If Mantle's knee were twisted, or Skowron's back jarred, or if anything happened to McDougal or Berra the team would almost go sour immediately. Injuries do happen, so it seems that third place is about the right size for them. Frank Lane appears to have traded the Indians into fourth place and possibly lower if the Baltimore Orioles come along the way Manager Paul Richards thinks they will. The Kansas City Athletics would finish eighth in most any league. But the Washington Senators are in the American League, and that's enough said. MAILEN GETS THIS ONE—Norm Mailen hauls in a long fly ball during a practice session in preparation for Kansas' Big Eight game Friday against the Missouri Tigers. Mailen was the team batting champion last year with a .311 average. He collected two hits yesterday in KU's 7-4 win over Central Missouri State. Jays Down Warrensburg WithTomHollerPostingWin Coach Floyd Temple's baseball squad won their fourth game of the year yesterday with a 7-4 victory over Central Missouri State at Warrensburg, Mo. The Jays pounded out 10 base hits with John Tonge and Norm Mailen collecting two apiece. Don Culp and Tom Dorney each drove in two runs. Three Kansas hurlers, Tom Holler, Gerry Waldschmidt and Ken Hensley, combined their efforts to keep Central Missouri State on the low end of the score. Holler was the winning pitcher, his first win of the year after two previous losses. Holler was effective in his three-inning stint allowing only two hits and not giving up a run. Warrensburg scored three of its four runs in the eighth inning on a home run by Bill Dey. The only other Warrensburg run came in the third inning.
