KU's Indoor Title May Be Clue to Team's Meet Finish
By Larry Hazelrigg
The KU outdoor track squad should place high in the Kansas Relays and the NCAA meet if the record of the indoor squad is any indication of things to come.
The Jayhawkers climaxed the indoor season by winning the Big Eight Indoor Meet in Kansas City Feb.27. It was the 23rd consecutive title in cross country, indoor and outdoor track or KU.
The squad began the season by defeating Oklahoma, 60-52. Ernie Shelby won the bread jump with $25' 34''$ in his only indoor meet of the year. An injury forced him to lay out of all but one of the remaining meets.
Bill Tillman tied the meet record for the 60- yard high hurdles with a .075 clocking.
Michigan Was Surprise
Dan Ralsten won the two-mile run in 9:13.5, the second fastest time ever recorded by a sophomore in the Big Eight conference. Wes Santee ran the event in 9:07.2 in a dual meet with Oklahoma in 1951.
The Michigan State Relays. Feb. 7, produced some pleasant surprises as the Jayhawkers finished high in the unofficial team standings.
The KU mile relay team of Bob Lida, Clif Cushman, Paul Rearick and Bob Tague also won in a record time of 3:18.8.
First Triangular Was Easy
The Jayhawkers overpowered Oklahoma State and Kansas State Feb. 14 in the first triangular meet ever held in Allen Field House. The scoring was $73^{\frac{1}{2}}$ for KU, $40^{\frac{1}{2}}$ for Oklahoma State and $37^{\frac{1}{2}}$ for Kansas State.
Charlie Tidwell provided the big thrills as he equaled two American records, in the 60-yard dash and the 60-yard low hurdles.
Tidwell ran the dash in :06.0 to equal his own record and tie the field house mark, and clocked :06.7 in the hurdles to tie the national record set by Nebraska's Keith Gardner, who graduated last year.
Bob Okerstrom won the 60-yard high hurdles
in : 07.4 and Lida won the 440-yard dash with
50.0 to set other field house records.
The Jayhawkers invaded Tigerland at Columbia, Mo., Feb. 20 and won 77-42.
Tigers Were Tamed
Bob Cannon set a meet record of 6' $ 6 \frac {1}{2} $ in the high jump. Tidwell defeated his old rival Henry Wiebe in both the 60-yard low hurdles and the 60-yard dash.
Shelby got back into competition, but placed only second in the broad jump behind sophomore Darwin Ashbaugh.
The Javhawkers entered the Big Eight Indoor Meet with a team Coach Bill Easton described as being in "only fair shape." But the squad captured nine of the 14 events, set two meet records and equaled two others.
Tidwell Was in Usual Form
Clif Cushman won the 1.000-yard run in 2:11.6 to break the meet record he had set the previous night in the preliminaries.
Tidwell equaled records with a :60.1 in the 60-yard dash and :60.7 in the 60-yard low hurdles. The latter time also equaled the American record.
The fourth meet record was set by the mile relay team of Tidwell, Bob Covey, Cushman and Lida, who won in 3:18.7.

Tillman surprised the crowd with a :07.4 victory in the 60-vard high hurdles.

Tom Skutka finished second in both the 880-yard run and the mile.
Other consistent performers for the squad were Billy Mills and Brian Travis, distances; Bill Dryer, shot, and Paul Williams, sprints and broad jump.

Cushman All-Around Star But Best in Mid-Distance
Possibly the most versatile runner in Kansas history. Cushman has handled every event from the 220 low hurdles to the mile.
Clif ran second in the 440 in last year's KU Relays behind Kansas State's Gene O'Connor, Cushman reversed the defeat, taking first in front of O'Connor in the Drake Relays a short time later.
He seems to be best in the intermediate hurdles as he has a record from the Kansas Relays and from the Drake Relays in the event plus 3rd in the 1958 NAAU and 2nd and 6th in the 1959 NAAU.
The lanky senior holds the Big Eight record for the 1,000-yard run with a 2:11.6 time.
Bermuda welcomed a record number of 68,374 visitors during the first half of 1958. a 7.7 per cent increase over the first six months.
