AAUIsUnhappy Event for KU
The AAU track and field meet at Boulder, Colo., was a scene of frustration and disappointment Friday and Saturday as the Jayhawks ran into a streak of bad luck.
Typical of the hard luck tracksters was Charlie Tidwell, KU's ace dash man, who last week won the NCAA 100-yard dash title. Tidwell, noted as a careful starter, jumped the gun twice and was disqualified. Tidwell jumped with the gun on the first try. Under AAU rules a false start is chalked up regardless of whether or not the gun is fired.
Tidwell stayed in the blocks on the second start but Bill Woodhouse of Abilene Christian was detected leaving too soon.
On the third attempt to start the race, Tidwell moved too early. He took only a few steps and already was headed back for his warmup clothes when the recall gun sounded.
However, Tidwel made up for Friday's bad luck in the 200-meter low hurdles Saturday. He bettered his own American record of :22.6 by 1/10, beating out Hayes Jones, East Michigan star, in a thrilling duel.
Track Stars Trim Records
Bill Tillman, Clay Center senior, pruned a half-second off KU's varsity high hurdles record with his 14.0 third-place finish in the NCAA. The former .14.5 mark was shared by Jack Greenwood and Bill Biberstein. Tillman had dipped to .14.0 once previously this season, but it was a wind-assisted race.
Charlie Tidwell's NCAA 100-yard dash championship is the first of all-time for Kansas and the first for the Big Eight since Nebraska's Roland Locke scored a spring double in 1926.
Clif Cushman cut two-tenths off his one-week-old Kansas varsity 400-Hurdles record with his :51.3 second-place finish in the NCAA. He previously had lowered Bob De-Vinney's old :51.7 in the 1952 NCAA to :51.5 in the CCC.
Kansas Javeliner Jim Linderholm added almost 10 feet to his previous all-time best with his third-place $232-7^{1/2}$ in the NCAA His former high was 222-9. Only longer spear-tossers in the Big Eight history are KU's Bill Alley, and the Jayhawkers' 1955 NCAA king, Les Bitner
Tidwell led by two feet coming out of the turn, but Jones managed to pull even. From there the two speedsters matched strides over the last two barriers and down to the tape, where Tidwell was able to "out lean" Jones to win the event.
Although Tidwell won a first he will not be qualified for the Russian or Pan American meets since that does not run the 200-meter laws.
But this was the only bright spot for the KU men. Ernie Shelly, current KU track captain, was seeking his third straight AAU broad jump title. He wound up with a fifth by jumping $ 25_{2} $
One of the minor surprises in the meet was supplied by a KU sprint stable mate of Tidwell's—Paul Willaims. He ran fourth in the 100-meters. Williams had not qualified for the 100-dash finals in the NCAA meet.
Also snaring a fourth was KU's Cliff Cushman in the 400-meter hurdles. This event produced the meet's biggest surprise. New Mexico's Dick Howard upset Olympic King Glen Davis.
Since the first three finishers qualified for the Pan American games and the first two for the Russian dual, KU failed to qualify a single man for either event (excepting the 200-low hurdles which are not run).
This was truly an inglorius end for a track team that had had such a glorious year.

WIMBLEDON, England—(UPI)—Barry MacKay, husky Davis Cup star from Dayton, Ohio, led the United States advance into the second round in men's singles Monday at the Wimbledon tennis championships by defeating Vermaak of South Africa. 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.
The 73rd Wimbledon championships began in warm, sunny weather before one of the smallest opening day crowds in years. Only 17,500 fans were on the sprawling grounds of the all-England club when play started.
Neale Fraser, runnerup to Ashley Cooper in last year's all-Australian final, drew the honor of opening the center court competition and ousted France's Pierre Darmon, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. Cooper now is a professional and ton-seeded Alex Olmedo of Los Angeles and Peru did not play at Wimbledon last year.
Russia and Red China have entries in the Wimbledon senior championships for the first time. Toomas Lejus, one of Russia's most promising youngsters, met the experienced Abe Segal of South Africa in the first round and bowed out, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5.
Bacteriology Rates High
The bacteriology department at the University of Kansas has been one of the nation's most productive in the training of leaders in the field.
Forty-one former students in the department and current faculty were present at this year's annual meeting of the Society of American Bacteriologists. Eighteen of them presented research papers.
