Jays Smash Nebraska
Kansas' track team rounded out its dual meet season Saturday as it warmed up for the coming Big Eight Championships by whipping Nebraska 94-42 at Lincoln.
The Jayhawkers will move into Norman, Okla., Friday heavily favored to take their eighth straight conference outdoor track title.
In accomplishing the smashing dual victory over the Cornhuskers, Kansas set new meet records in nine events, equaled one other and saw still another disallowed. The Jayhawkers also captured 14 of the 16 first places in the meet.
Bill Tillman was the big winner for Coach Bill Easton's crew as he set new standards in both the 120-yard high hurdles and the 220-yard low hurdles.
Other new marks were set by Bill Dryer in the shot put, Bob Cannon in the high jump, Jerry Foos in the discus. Paul Williams in the broad jump and Bob Lida in the 440-yard dash. A relay crew of Paul Rearick, Williams, Lida and Charley Tidwell set a new 440-yard mark and Cliff Cushman, Lida, Bob Tague and Bob Covey established a record in the mile relay to top the list of new standards.
Tidwell equaled the standing 100-
yard dash mark and Bill Alley saw his assault of the record books halted because his pace setting javelin toss was disallowed because of too much tape on his javelin.
All of the records were set on a wet, muddy track during driving rain.

Jayhawkers Notch First Win
Kansas notched up its first conference baseball victory Friday by downing Nebraska 8-3. A double header Saturday with the Cornhuskers was rained out but the single win was enough to move the Jayhawkers out of the Big Eight cellar into 7th place.
Mizzou Guilty Of Violation
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UPI) — The University of Missouri may have to forfeit all 13 of the baseball games it has won this spring due to the ineligibility of outfielder Gene Orf, it was learned today.
Coach John (Hi) Simmons said he learned only late last week that Orf had only 22 hours of passing grades for the previous two semesters, instead of the required 24.
Missouri, currently second in the Big Eight standings behind Oklahoma State, was 13-2 over-all and 7-2 in the league to date. Orf, 21, is from Portage Des Sioux, Mo.
A sophomore right-hander, Orf was batting cleanup for the Tigers and was hitting at a 389 clip.
Officials indicated a decision on forfeiting the games probably would not be reached until the conference meeting in Norman, Okla. this weekend. The meeting will be held in connection with the Big Eight Outdoor Track and Field Meet.
Carnival Scheduled On Sooner Campus
The Big Eight will wind up its spring sports slate this weekend with the conference track, golf and tennis meets on tap at Norman, Okla.
The highlight of the 3-sport carnival is expected to be the track meet where the Jayhawkers are expected to nail down their 24th straight Bail Eight track title.
