Desire Puts Lida At Top of Big Eight
The quartermile event will pit Lida against such stars as Chuck Carlson of Colorado and Oklahoma's Hi Gernert.
Bob Lida, Kansas' quartermiler, could be the man to beat in the quartermile event in this week's Big Eight Indoor Track Meet at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City.
Lida had never won an important race in his track career until this winter. Then he opened the season by defeating Gernert. Following this he anchored the mile relay at Michigan State which set a new school record.
Two weeks ago he flashed to a new Allen Field House record of 50.0 in defeating Oklahoma State's Ken Covert.
The big question, of course, is what has caused this big change. Lida supplies this answer.
"I made up my mind before the season that this was my senior year and it was time to do something. Mostly that's the reason, just making up my mind," the quartermiler said.
When asked his strategy of a race, Lida replied that you have to be up front early to win. "On the short curves of the indoor track, if you get out in front he (the opponent) will have a rough time passing you."
Lida credits Coach Bill Easton and spinter Paul Williams as giving tips on his form which have helped a lot. He also said: "I feel stronger and faster so why shouldn't I run better."
In high school, he did not report for track until his junior year. He ran under Bob Karnes at Shawnee-Mission as a halfmiler until he cracked an ankle bone his senior year. He spent most of the remainder of the season in a whirlpool.
Another change he has made is that before he always ran for a place but now he runs to win. "Ol course it's always nice to run a good time, it seares the other people in the league."
Lida, who has put together several small changes and has come up with a winning form says. "Now that I've got it I don't think I lose it. I think I'll win the Big Eight."

LEONARD'S STANDARD
A balanced sophomore attack was enough to upset the juniors 55-45 and the seniors squeezed by a scrapy freshman team with a fourth quarter spurt 47-45 in the Intramural All-Star Tournament last night.
The second half saw the organization of the freshmen. The seniors were in charge by only two points 22-20, at the end of the half.
The winners will play tomorrow night at 5:30 p.m. preceding the Kansas State game in Allen Field House.
The seniors moved to an early 16-6 lead at the end of the first quarter and it looked as if they would easily dominate the game. About the only chance the freshmen had to cheer in the first quarter came when one of the elder seniors received a technical foul for forgetting to report into the game. The freshmen were awarded one free shot.
The seniors, led by John Peppercorn's 20 points, jumped in front to stay when guard H. C. Palmer dropped in three straight goals from under the basket at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
The score was tied at the beginning of the third quarter 31-31. The freshmen, behind 45-39 with 2:30 left in the game, bounced back to within two points when the final
whistle sounded. Charlie Johnson led the freshman attack with 16 points.
The sophomores, picking up 29 of their 55 points at the free throw line, trailed until midway in the final period. Then with a flurry of sophomore scoring: two free throws by Stan Kirchman, a jump shot by Joe Spurnure, another jump shot by Curtis McClinton, a tip in by John Peterson and four free shots by Tommy Holler, the sophomores were boosted to a 49-37 lead. The juniors never recovered the sophomore barrage.
Eleven sophomores moved into the
