Kansas Looks Toward Texas Relays
Coach Easton seems pleased.
New Western Group Scores
PASADENA, Calif. — (UPI) The newly-organized Athletic Association of Western Universities, which arose like a Phoenix from the ashes of the Pacific Coast Conference, today held the Rose Bowl football game as its first major trophy.
The AAWU, which officially comes to life July 1, and the Tournament of Roses Association announced jointly at a press conference late yesterday that the new conference had reached an agreement with sponsors of the New Year's Day football game to furnish the Western representative.
The AAWU and the tournament association acted while the Big Ten still had under consideration extension of the closed agreement for the New Year's Day classic beyond the 1960 game.
Dr. Frank Kidner, chairman pro tem of the AAWU and faculty representative of the University of California, joined with Tournament of Roses president Raymond A. Dorn in announcing the new agreement.
The Jayhawkers will be looking for their second straight victory in multi-team competition this spring when they travel to Austin this weekend for the Texas Relays.
The first victory came over vacation as KU easily won the Ablene Christian Invitational with $ 71^{\frac{1}{2}} $ points.
Bill Alley out-threw every javelin record on the books when he registered 258' 4". Bill Easton insisted that Alley's throw be submitted for a new collegiate record, even though the star had a 12-mile an hour wind at his back. Easton pointed out that the rule says "for establishment of a national collegiate record, a statement must also include a certification of wind velocity and direction determined by means of approved anemometers."
John Fromm of Pacific Lutheran currently holds the college javelin intercollegiate javelin title on a 257' 1' heave, set last spring.
Ernie Shelby leaped 26' 4" in the broad jump, but he barely scraped his spikes on the foul side of the takeoff board. His final jump was 24' 6". good enough for first place and a meet record.
Kansas' closest competitor was Abilene Christian with $51^{\frac{1}{2}}$ points. Ohio State claimed third with 42. Southern Methodist scored $31^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Houston 19 and Baylor $15^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
Sprint ace Charlie Tidwell was less than a step behind Abilene Christian's Bill Woodhouse in the 100-yard dash. Tidwell and Christian's Calvin Cooley were running neck and neck in the low hurdles when Tidwell hit the eighth hurdle and broke his stride, leaving Cooley with the victory.
KU's 440-yard relay team surprised the Texans by winning in 41.1. Ernie Shelby, Bob Lida, Paul Williams and Tidwell composed the winning Kansas team. Tidwell defeated Woodhouse in the anchor run of that race.
Clif Cushman made a successful debut in his first mile race of the season with his winning time of 4:21.0.
Bob Covey, Cushman, Bob Tague and Bob Lida took the mile relay victory in 3:20.1.
Bill Dryer was fourth in the shot at 51' 10½"; Tom Skutka finished third in the mile; Paul Williams third in the 100; Bob Ockerstrom second and Bill Tillman fourth in the high hurdles; Jack Stevens tied for third in the pole vault with 12' 6"; Gordon Davis fourth in the 880; Jerry Foos fourth in the discus with 148' 4½"; Jim Londerholm second and John Book third in the javelin; Bill Mills second and Dan Ralston third in the two-mile; Darwin Ashbaugh fourth in the low hurdles and Williams took fifth in the broad jump.

CINCINNATI, Ohio — (UPI) — Kansas State star Bob Boozer today was the first man selected by the Cincinnati Royals in the annual National Basketball Assn. player draft.
Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain, who gave up his final year at Kansas to play with the Harlem Globetrotters, was the territorial choice of the Philadelphia Warriors.

VI 3-8855
The lone individual champion returning is broad jumper Ernie Shelby. However, in several of the events, the Big Eight schools are just about as strong as a year ago.
Nebraska, which won the 440-relay last year, lost Keith Gardner off that team. The Huskers won in 41.4 then Kansas bettered that time last week as Shelby, Bob Lida, Paul Williams and Charles Tidwell went the distance in 41.1 at Abilene.
- Expert Service
Based on Bill Alley's performance at Abilene, Kansas is expected to have the top hand in the javelin, taking two or possibly three places.
- Quality Parts
Alley participated in the Florida Relays Saturday night but hit only 231' 11 $ \frac{1}{2} "$ with his winning heave.
