University Daily Kansan SPORTS National Stars Top KU Indoor Squad
Two national champions top a list of 14 lettermen returning for KU's five-meet 1959 indoor track schedule.
Broad-jumper Ernie Shelby and hurdler Charlie Tidwell head the list of returnees, which includes three Big Eight winners—high-jumper Bob Cannon, miler Tom Skutka and half-miler Bob Tague.
Such outstanding performers as Olympic discus king, Al Oerter and high-jumper Wilt Chamberlain are gone from last year's Big Eight championship team.
Coach Bill Easton said Bob Cannon is expected to take up the shack in the high jump with help from Dick Keith. There is no replacement for Oerter in the shot put. This year's top KU heave is expected to be around 50 feet, which is not very far in the Big Eight Conference.
Easton said Oklahoma and Colorado are expected to give the Jayhawkers the stiffest competition for the league title. Colorado has a large group of returning lettermen and the Sooners had the best freshman team in the league last year.
Easton said the addition of two new events will make the indoor meets tougher. The events are the 600-yard run and the 1000-yard run. They will be run just before the 440-yard dash and the 880-yard run.
A team will be allowed to enter only five men in the 440 and 600 events and five men in the 880 and 1000 events. The maximum number of entries in any one of the races will be three men which means that only two men will be entered in two.
Among the returning lettermen, Shelby is a three-time NAAU champion in the broad jump. Tidwell was NCAA 220 low hurdles champion last spring.
Completing the list of lettermen are Berry Crawford, two-mile; Cliff Cushman, 880 and mile; Bill Drver, shot put; Verne Gauby, 440; Bob Lida, 440; Bill Tillman, hurdles; Brian Travis, two-mile; Keith, high jump, and Willie Jones, 440.

Feb. 7-Michigan State Relays.
Feb. 14-Oklahoma State and Kansas State at Lawrence.

HAPPY HOP — Doug Campbell, Denver guard, jumps for joy after a teammate sinks a goal to increase the second half margin over Kansas Monday.
KU Prepares for West Coast Play
Following Monday night's disappointing loss to Denver, the Jayhawkers will skip over the mountain city this weekend and travel all the way to the coast in hopes of finding more congenial western opponents.
The Jayhawkers play UCLA as part of a double-header on The Southern California court Friday night. Iowa State will play USC in the other game.
Saturday, the action shifts to the UCLA court where KU will meet USC and the Cyclones play UCLA.
The Jayhawkers might find more to their liking against the Uclans, who lost to little Santa Clara, 56-42, Saturday night.
But Southern Cal could be tough. The Trojans, featuring a pair of hot-shot guards blasted Los Angeles Loyola, 70-54, last weekend.
Mike Leaskou and Jerry Primm scored a combined total of 35 points against Loyola. Leaskou is a service returnee who specializes in drive shots. Primm, a former junior college sensation, hit seven of 11 jump shots in the victory.
The Trojans could turn the tables on KU by playing a 7-foot center, but it is doubtful that he will see much action. The big man is Bill Engesser, a second team man with promise, but who is not quite ready for full-time action.
