New Javelin Ace Challenges Alley
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UPI)—Bill Alley of the University of Kansas, the defending NCAA javelin champion and intercollegiate record-holder, has a tough assignment ahead of him this year.
Alley, who has 10 times bettered 250 feet with his tosses and holds the intercylinder record with a heave of 270 feet $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches, has a formidable new foe in Bob Shordone of the University of Southern California.
Sbordone, a 19-year-old native of East Boston, Mass., never had thrown more than 227 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches until
this year. Last season he reached that mark, and he has three times bettered it this year — with a toss of 234 feet 5/3 4 inches on March 16, a heave of 250 feet 2 $ _{1/2} $ inches on March 26, and a toss of 256 feet 10 $ _{1/2} $ inches last week.
The latter mark is the best in the nation this year, two feet and one inch better than Alley's top toes.
Alley gets a chance to regain the national lead this weekend in a triangular meet with Stanford and San Jose State at Palo Alto, Calif.
Jayhawkers Open Big Eight Baseball Campaign Today
Coach Floyd Temple's baseball squad opens Big Fight play at 1:30 pm, today with a doubleheader against Oklahoma at Quailley Field. The Jayhawkers will use a revamped lineup with Lloyd Nichols, the team captain, moving back to first base from the outfield and Don
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — The 1960 football season still is five months away, but Big Eight conference coaches already are beginning to wall about their misfortunes.
Football Coaches Already Pessimistic
But, in spite of all the fear-soaked handkerchiefs in Big Eight training camps, prospects look brighter for every conference member but champion Oklahoma.
ST. LOUIS—(UPI)—Stan Musial of the Cardinals has the highest lifetime batting average among currently active players in the National League — 337.
James W. Vickers, executive vice president, said "Coach Alex Hannum had a monumental recruiting task." After Les Lane, Don Boldeuck, Lionel Smith, Chuck Schramm, Jerry Miller and Dick Boushka said they did not intend to play next year.
WICHITA—(UPI)—The Vickers Petroleum Co. of Wichita has announced it is dropping out of the National Industrial Basketball League (NIBL) after six players quit the team.
Vickers to Drop NIBL Franchise
Vickers said the decision to quit was made "after serious deliberation and with much regret." He added that professional salaries had increased "to the extent that we could not anticipate competing with National Basketball Assn. teams for the top talent necessary to continue having a first-rate team. Everyone knows it was never our intention of fielding anything other than the best."
Boushka, former All America from St. Louis University, was the leading scorer in the NIBL this season.

Culp opening at third instead of second where he started in the Arkansas series.
Oklahoma was beaten 16-15 and 12-6 in its opening series at Texas. But Coach Jack Raer has three standouts in Don Nipp, a .400 hitting catcher; Denny Price (347) second baseman, and pitcher Tommy Jones who won seven last year while losing only two.
Sooners a Favorite
Replacing Nichols in the outfield will be Ken Hensley, when he is not pitching, or John Tonge. Temple will use Jim Talley at second base in place of Culp.
Holler, Hensley to Pitch
The Sooners are one of the teams favored to win the Big Eight championship.
Scheduled to start on the mound for the Jays today is Tom Holler and Hensley. Both pitched three innings of no-hit ball at Washburn Tuesday afternoon. KU plays the Sooners a single game tomorrow.
The starting lineup for the Jays will be Nichols, 1B; Talley, 2B; Culp, 3B; Marion Bryant, SS; Norm Mailen, LF; Doyle Schick, CF; Hens-
Kansas clipped the Sooners twice in a three-game set last year in the final series of the year to escape the league cellar. The weekend's triple here will mark the 69th, 70th, and 71st games between the two clubs.
