WILT CHAMBERLAIN--A quick trip was worth ten points.
AL OERTER — Meet's outstanding athlete.
KU Scores 160 Points To Win Track Crown

JERRY MCNEAL—Another 2-mile record.
KU amassed their second highest point total in meet history to gain their sixth straight triple crown in conference track. The Jayhawkers scored 160 points to almost double the total of their nearest competitor, Colorado, who scored 84 points to finish second.
KU's Tom Skutka and Verlyn Schmidt finished second and third to give the Kansans a 24-point total in the 2-mile.
Louis Stroup, Mike Cummins,
Lowell Janzen and Ray Wyatt com-
bined their talents to give Kansas
a victory and a new Big Seven record
in the mile relay. They were
clocked in 3:12.6. The old mark was
3:15.4, set in 1953 by a Kansas State
foursome.
Nobraska shaded Missouri, 63% to 63, for third place. Kansas State scored 49, Iowa State 24, and Oklahoma 21%.
Chamberlain Wins High Jump
Oerter A Double Winner
Oerter displayed his Olympic discus winning form by heaving the discus 179 feet $10\frac{1}{2}$ inches. This was 19 feet 8 inches better than the second place throw by Ralph Yoder of Iowa State. Oerter also put the shot 33 feet $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches to gain a first in that event.
KU's tremendous distance power, victories in five of the six field events, and good team strength in the 440 enabled the Jayhawkers to win easily.
Al Otert, who received the Henry F. Schulte trophy as the meet's outstanding performer, was KU's only double winner and one of the two double winners of the day.
The Jayhawkers' Jerry McNeal figured in one of the three meet records which were broken when he covered the 2-mile run in 9:09.1. This beat the record of 9:19.0 set by Oklahoma's Bruce Drummond in 1953.
Wilt Chamberlain, who had been on the doubtful list because of a
The Baltimore Orioles routed the A's, 10-2, then played a $5\frac{1}{2}$ inning scoreless tie Sunday.
Tito Francaone walloped two homers and knocked in five runs to spark the Orioles' attack that gained Billy Loes his third victory. The nightcap was halted by rain with Hal Brown and Rip Coleman involved in a scoreless duel.

throat ailment, lifted the 7-foot frame which has made him famous in basketball circles off the ground at 6 feet 5 inches to win the high jump.
The Jayhawkers 60-point total in the field events was aided tremendously by a 20-point outburst in the broad jump. Another basketball star, Blaire Hollinger, won the event with a 23-foot $10\frac{3}{4}$-inch jump. Frank Mastin's 23-foot 5-inch jump was good enough for third place, while the defending champion, Kent Floerke, finished fourth with a 23-foot $ \frac{1}{2} $-inch jump.
Dave Tams scored a moderately surprising victory for KU in the pole vault with a jump of 13 feet 7/8 inches.
The Jayhawkers' 880 and mile run power, combined with their 24- point total in the 2-mile, added 63 points to their final total.
Lowell Janzen successfully defended his title in the 880-yard run with a 1.514 clocking. Grant Cookson gave Kansas added strength in that event with a second place finish.
Hal Long won the mile run in 4:15. Jack Schroeder finished second, while Jan Howell and Bernie Gay finished fifth and sixth to give the Jayhawkers 21 points in the mile.
MU's Orr Sets Record
Even with this record breaking performance, Kansas garnered 19 points in the 440. Louis Stroup, Ray Wyatt and Mike Cummins finished 2-3-4 and Larry Strop finished sixth.
Pete Orr of Missouri set the only other record of the day when he turned in a 47.1 clocking in the 440-yard run. This bettered the mark of KU's Frank Cindrich, 47.9, set in 1954.
Colorado's Chuck Smith joined Oerter as the only other double winner of the day. Smith took the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat and won the 220-yard dash in :21.9. He was awarded the annual Shannon Douglas sprint trophy for this feat.
Keith Gardner, Nebraska's Jamaican star, won the 120-yard high hurdles in :14.4, while Gene O'Conner of Kansas State won the 220-yard lows in :21.1.
Colorado's Ken Yob successfully defended his javelin title with a 213-foot 3-inch heave.
Cyclones Ruin Kansas' Hopes For League Title
The Iowa State Cyclones wrecked KU's hopes for the Big Seven baseball championship by sweeping all three games from the Jayhawkers this weekend at Ames.
The only noise the KU team made with its bats during the series was in Friday's ninth inning affair, when the Jayhawkers scored a meager two runs. The Jayhawkers were shut out 12-0 and 4-0 in Saturday's doubleheader.
KU's ace right handed pitcher, Ron Wiley, lost his second game of the year Friday, 7-2.
1-Hitter By Groth
Iowa State pitcher Bill Groth threw a 1-hitter at Kansas in the first game on Saturday. Center fielder Bobby Marshall got the lone safety for Kansas, a single in the fourth inning.
KU's starting pitcher, Bob Shirley, was touched for 6 runs in the first inning and was relieved by Gary Fenity. Shirley gave up 4 hits, 2 walks, and hit 1 before he could get the side out.
"They are the No. 1 candidates to win the championship." Coach Temple said of Iowa State. "They're the best ball club we've faced this year. We'll have to struggle to have just an average season now."
Sophomore lefthanded Larry Miller held Iowa State to 3 hits and struck out 10 in Saturday's second game, but still was beaten.
Miller Fans Ten
