Records Fall Fast At Big 8 Carnival
NORMAN—It looked as if a disc-jockey were running things here Saturday. Records were being changed with the regularity of a "Top Hits" music broadcast.

FIFTH PLACE?—Darwin Ashbaugh's form was good for a first place finish in the broad jump during the indoor championships last winter but, this past weekend, with Captain Ernie Shelby competing, Ashbaugh's leap was good for fifth place in the strong conference field. Shelby won the event in which Paul Williams also gained a place for the Jayhawkers.
From the white-chalk line at the beginning of the 440-yard relay race to the red and white bar at the tip-top of the pole vault standards, everything was geared for the extreme.
Monday, May 18, 1959 University Daily Kansar
Up at the east end of Oklahoma University's track field stood a crew of Air Force men who were busy all afternoon measuring wind velocity to make sure that no wind-blown records got into the books.
The first mark to be shattered came in the preliminaries when Bill Alley tossed the javelin 256-10—an exact 34 feet further than Colorado's Kenneth Yob threw in 1956. Alley, plagued by arm troubles, made no attempt to throw Saturday.
And at the opposite end of the track were eight trainer's tables—camps where the Big Eight competitors rested and awaited their events.
Charlie Tidwell, the meet's outstanding athlete, electrified the watching crowd when he not only smashed the meet record in the 220-yard low hurdles, but equalled his own American record of 22.7, which he set for the event in last June's NCAA meet.
Earlier, Tidwell shot off the startin' blocks in the 100-yard dash to be the first man in 28 years to equal the meet record of 9.4, notched by Hubert Meier of Iowa State in 1930, and never touched.
The only other record the Jay-hawkers could claim was a clocking of 41 seconds in the 440-relay. The squad, made up of Paul Rearick, Paul Williams, Bob Lida and Charlie Tidwell, hot-footed it to the wire just a hair ahead of Oklahoma State Both teams were given the same time.
Oklahoma State, runner-up to Kansas in the team scoring, took the lion's share in new records. Probably the most sensational assault on the marks occurred when Cowboys Jim Graham and Aubrey Dooley engaged in a high-flying duel in the pole vault. The event ended only after both men had cleared 15-04. Graham won at 15-314 Dooley held the old mark of 14.9
Other Cowboy triumphs came in the 220, when Orlando Hazely sped the distance in 20.9, and the mile relay where the time was lowered from Kansas State's 3:11.6 to 3:10.5. Miles Eisenman captured another record for O-State when he finished the 2-mile in 9:04.8. Jayhawker Billy Mills was on Eisenman's heels all the way.
The mile run, a potential 4-minute affair, ended with the record set by KU's Wes Santee in 1953 being lowered one-tenth of a second by Oklahoma's Gail Hodgson to 4:06.2.
Hodgson, imported from South Africa, crossed the line a full 50 yards ahead of second-place Tom Rodda of K-State.
Other record breakers were Chuck Carlson of Colorado in the 440, and Joe Mullins of Nebraska in the 880. Carlson was timed in 46.5 and Mullins in 1:49.
NORMAN—The Kansas Jayhawkers grabbed fourth place in both the Big Eight golf and tennis tournaments here this weekend.
Oklahoma State University took first place honors in both tournaments.
Golf, Net Teams Both Finish 4th
Kansas collected four points in the tennis matches by entering a doubles team in the semi-finals. A team from Oklahoma topped Lynne Sieverling and Pete Block, 6-1 and 6-4 in the match.
Kansas' Bill Toalson was the fourth low scorer with 223 in a field of 38 golfers. The team's total was 944 in comparison to OSU's 899.
The three other Kansas golfers scoring: Brien Boggess, 232; Bob Wood, 240, and Leon Roulier, 249.
COLUMBIA, Mo.—Two weeks ago Missouri was fighting for the lead in the Big Eight baseball race. Saturday the Tigers climbed from the cellar.
Other team scores in the golf tournament were Missouri, 932; Oklahoma, 939; Colorado, 947; Nebraska, 963; Kansas State, 998, and Iowa State, 1.008.
Team scores in the tennis tournament were OSU, 17; Oklahoma, 11; Nebraska, 5; Iowa State and Missouri, 2, and Kansas State, 0.
Missouri Climbs Out of Cellar
MU forfeited its seven conference victories after it was discovered outfielder Gene Orf had been scholastically ineligible all season. Now on the comeback trail, the Tigers defeated the Buffaloes three times this weekend, 14-0, 7-6 and 5-0.
Per capita consumption of meat in the U. S. during 1959 will be about 156 pounds, up four pounds from 1958.
Jayhawker Varsity Smashes Alumni
Coach Jack Mitchell's second KU football crew came through with three touchdowns in the second half Saturday to defeat the alumni team 28-6 to climax the spring training season.
After being held to a 6-6 tie for the entire first half the Varsity scored on its first two possessions of the third quarter and held the lead from then on.
The varsity's rushing defense was penetrated only by Alumni quarterback Wally Strauch's passing. His 14 pass completions accounted for all but five yards of the total Alumni gains.
The Varsity squad scored its first touchdown with 9:14 left in the first quarter on a one-yard run by Duane Morris. He had returned a punt by Ted Rhode to the Alumni 27 earlier in the period.
The rest of the varsity scores were:
12-6, a two-yard run by John Hadl, 9:34 remaining in the third period; 14-6, run by Morris; 20-6, a four-yard run by Bukatay, 5:29 remaining in the third period; 26-6, a one-yard run by McCallister, 1:32 remaining in the fourth period; 28.6, Wilson on a pass by McCallister.
The Alumni made a drive from their own 19 to the Varsity 22 in the fourth period, only to be stopped

by McClinton's interception of a Strach pass.
Schick and Bukaty also intercepted Grad passes, both thrown by McKown. Bukaty made a 55-yard run with his interception, only to have the score nullified by a penalty. Schick returned his to the Alumni 88 and the Varsity pounded it in from there, with Morris hitting McClinton with two straight passes.
McClinton was the head man for Varsity ground-yardage with 33 yards on eight carries. Morris com-
plotted four out of seven passes for 71 yards and McCallister netted 64 yards in completing four out of five.
For the Grads, McKown completed one out of seven for 21 yards and Strauch completed 14 out of 27 attempts for 142 yards.
Halfback Dave Harris led the final Varsity drive, running for 10, taking a pass from McCallister for 19, and running for an additional 11. McCallister then scored with his one-yard plunge.
