Javelin Corps Tops Outdoor Prospects
Book is the defending Big Eight champion, Londerholm is a veteran of two years of varsity competition and Alley is a welcome transfer from Syracuse University.
Book threw 215 $^{-1/2}$ to win the Big Eight title last year as a sophomore. Londerholm has been beyond 213 three times. Both are expected to add 10 to 15 feet to their career highs in the next two months.
If the three members of the javelin corps live up to their expectations they will surpass Easton's trio of a few years back which frequently found Londerholm, Don Sneegas and John Parker all throwing beyond 200 feet in dual meets.
While there are no Bill Nieders or Al Oerters in camp to man the other two weight events, the Jayhawkers will be at least one-deep in the shot put and discus.
Bill Alley, John Book and Jim Londerholm could furnish Coach Bill Easton with one of the finest groups of javelin throwers in KU history.
One Deep in Shot. Discus
Alley, from Short Hills, N. J., last year threw 246-3 to become the Eastern AAU champion. Pacific Lutheran's John Fromm set a new 257-1 mark last season. Alley could possibly threaten Fromm's record if he continues to improve as he has in the last couple of weeks.
Junior Bill Dryer raised his career high to 52-1 during the indoor season and could easily add another foot or two this spring, Jerry Foos, a 228-pound sophomore, threw 168 plus in the discus as a freshman and has been over 160 in early workouts this month.
Easton Deep in Dashes
Kansas also has two good sprint men this year. Sophomore Paul Williams set a national freshman record of :20.5 last year in the 220. He dipped as low as :61.6 in the Indoor 60-yard dash. Charlie Tidwell already owns one American record and co-shares two others.
Tidwell ran :60.6 in the 60 and :60.7 during the Indoor season in the 60-yard low hurdles to equal two existing intercollegiate marks. His record-setting time came last June when he handled the 220-low-hurdles in :22.7 in the NCAA.
This pair will also team in the 100 with Williams tripling in the broad

jump. With Shelby at home nursing a pulled muscle Williams jumped $ 23-10^{\frac{1}{2}} $ to win the Michigan State Relays in February. Both have clocked :69.5 in the 100-yard dash Tidwell placed third last year in the NCAA in this event.
Shelby Will Be Back
Shelby also runs the sprints and hurdles. Although primarily a broad jumper, he won the Big Eight low hurdles last year, with the help of a tail-wind, in :224. His best accepted time is :22.8. He has also hit :09.7 in the hundred.
Shelby has been running without trouble since the Jayhawkers moved outdoors. Easton has not risked him in the jumping pit yet because of his pulled muscle during the Indoor season. Shelby is a three-time NAAU champion and 1958 NCAA king in the latter event.

Louisville, Cincy Picked
LOUISVILLE. Ky. — (UPI) Louisville's plucky upstarts and classy Cincinnati are slight favorites to knock off their semi-final opponents tonight in the NCAA major college basketball tournament. Louisville is a two-point choice over West Virginia in the opener at 7:30 p.m. (Lawrence time) and Cincinnati is a $2^{1/2}$-point pick over California in the second game.

Thinklish translation: The appropriate word for this gent is Crassanova! Main reasons: 1. He's the only guy we know who sends mimeographed love letters. 2. He's the only guy who doesn't make advances when he runs out of gas (the gal's too busy pushing his car). Too thoughtless to buy his own cigarettes, this bird only dates girls who appreciate the honest taste of fine tobacco. "We always have something in common," he says. "Her Luckies!"
