Kansas Speeds Past Missouri
By Bob Gilchrist
Billy Mills turned on the speed Saturday to nip teammate Brian Travis at the finish line as the Kansas Jayhawks won their 33rd consecutive dual cross-country victory over a conference foe.
The victims were the Missouri Titers, the last conference opponent to beat Kansas. The final results had the Jayhawkers on top 16-45.
MILLS CROSSED the finish line .2 of a second ahead of Travis in Memorial Stadium, out pacing the Kansas captain in the last vard of the 3-mile course. The Jays claimed the first four places in the meet with Tom Skutka and Clif Cushman finishing third and fourth.
Skutkta took the lead as the field started over the Campanile course in the direction of Snow Hall. Shortly afterwards, however, he was
overtaken by Missouri's Bob Han-
nekan.
That was the first and last time a Missourian led the pace as Travis took over at the 2-mile mark and held the lead until the last second of the meet.
TRAVIS AND MILLS left the rest of the runners well behind as the pack entered the stadium to approach the finish and were cheered on by the sparse crowd that attended the meet.
How they finished:
1. Mills (K), 15:51.8; 2. Travis (K),
15:52; 3. Skutka (K), 16:09.5; 4. Cushman (K), 16:13.5; 5. Hannekan (M), 16:21; 6. Bob Lindrud (K),
16:50; 7. Ray Schmitz (M), 16:74; 8. Dan Ralston (K), 17:22; 9. Don Henry (K), 17:38; 10. Joe Schroeder (M), 17:44; 11. Don Gabbert (M),
17:53; 12. Gerald White (M), 18:11;
and 13. Morris Patterson (M), 18:39.

BIG 8
The Texas Longhorns erased an early deficit to hand Oklahoma its second loss of the season as the Big Eight team faltered after the first quarter to lose 19-12.
