V Thursday. March 5, 1959 University Daily Kansan Page 5 By Doug Yocom Spring and the outdoor track season will soon be here. Runners can already be seen jogging around Campanile Drive on nice days. But before we jump too far into the future, let's take a backward glance into the indoor season just completed. Last weekend coach Bill Easton's squad marked up its eighth straight Indoor Championship. The correlation between "Easton" and "track championships" is becoming as closely linked as the Rock Chalk yell and KU tradition. KU's last loss was in 1951 when Nebraska overshadowed both Missouri and Kansas to win the meet. The year before KU grabbed an upset victory to win its first Big Seven championship in history. Not bad for a track coach who only arrived at KU in 1947. The Easton technique is well known. Kansas usually loses a third of its track team from the championship squad of the previous year. Then Easton usually predicts a "poor" season or says KU will not be as strong as it was the previous year. And no one, except the coach, knows the type of track team KU actually has. Each future star is kept in a test tube until the big meet. Then, Wham-o, Kansas has another championship. This year Oklahoma had been picked as the Jayhawkers' biggest competitor for the track crown. The Sooners came within 18 points of catching the Jayhawkers in the dual meet at KU. But the Big Eight Indoor last weekend was not as close. KU walked away from the Oklahomaans by over 40 points. The Jayhawkers won basically the same first places as in the KU-Oklahoma dual meet when KU won eight out of a possible 14 top spots. The Sooners captured only two firsts at Kansas City, whereas they won six at the dual meet here. Easton's squad won nine firsts at the Big Eight meet. KU will probably wear the outdoor crown also. Track team captain Ernie Shelby should be back and ready to do some jumping after some time off because of a pulled leg muscle. Bill Alley and John Book may easily take the first two conference places in the javelin. June will bring the NCAA. Last year Kansas placed second in the meet which was won by Southern California. This year Southern Cal is on probation and will be unable to compete. Kansas should be the top contender for the nation's crown. If Kansas wins, it will be the first NCAA championship that has been brought back to Mount Oread since Phog Allen's basketball team did it in 1953. LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

ROWLAND'S 1241 Oread Kansas coach Dick Harp said he has not decided what offense or defense he will use against Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp's Eastern All-Stars later this month. "We will have to get the boys together and see how they play. "The big thing in a game of this type is to get the boys playing as a team instead of a group of individuals," the KU coach said. University of Kentucky coach Rupp has been chosen to coach the East and Dick Harp the west in the All-Star game to be held March 28 in the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.
