Set-Ups Take Third In National Intercollegiate Volleyball Tourney
KU's volleyball team, the Set-Ups, finished third in the intercollegiate division of the national tournament in Memphis, Tenn., as the Jayhawkers had their first entry of all-time in this intercollegiate sport.
Kansas compiled a 2-2 record in the eight-team affair. The Jayhawkers earned the right to enter the national tournament by defeating a team from Colorado University in the finals of the regional playoff.
Charlie Cornwell, Lawrence High School senior, and Jim VanArtsdalen, instructor of electrical engineering, played with the KU team in the open division.
The Jayhawkers opened quickly by upsetting second-seeded George Williams of Chicago in the first round of the tournament, 9-15, 15-9, 17-15. In the second round they defeated Union College, 17-15, 12-15, 15-4.
The Jayhawkers were beaten in their first three matches of the open division.
KU's first loss came when Florida State, who went on to win the tournament, defeated the Jayhawkers, 15-6, 15-7. The Jayhawkers lost in the finals of the consolation bracket to the same George Williams team they had defeated in the first round. 15-8, 6-14, 15-10.
Coleman, who captained and coached the Jayhawkers, said that three players from KU are being considered for all-America. These players are Mader, Slaymaker, and Coleman. The selections are

expected to be made sometime this week.
"This was the first time KU has entered a team in a big tournament," Coleman said. "I think everybody displayed a fine team effort which enabled us to finish third. We only lose two men from this year's team, so I think we should be even better next year."
He said that Jack Whitely, senior in a Wichita high school who
is an outstanding volleyball player, is expected to enroll at KU next year which should help the team considerably.
Coleman said that he hopes interest in the sport will be built next year when Kansas will host some of the finest teams in the Midwest in the Jayhawk Open tournament.
The members of this year's team paid all of their own expenses to the tournament, with the exception of the entry fee, which was paid for by the Lawrence Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Saratoma Club.

Seven Marks Fall As KU Tips MU
Seven records fell as the KU trackmen avenged an indoor defeat by Missouri this year, with a come-from-behind 66-65 victory Friday in Memorial Stadium.
With KU trailing 65-61 going into the final event, the mile relay, a quartet of Louie Stroup, Bob Franklin, Lowell Janzen and Ray Wyatt blazed a meet record of 3:16.5 to whip the Tigers by 30 yards.
It was a day for double winners' and clean sweeps as the Jayhawkers slammed the mile and broad jump and the Tigers swept the 100-yard dash. There were three double winners, the Tigers' Henry Wiebe and Charles Batch and the Jayhawkers' Al Oerter.
Probably the most outstanding record was the discus toss of 184 foot $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches by Oerter. His throw is the best in the nation this year, topping his own previous best of 180 foot $9\frac{1}{2}$ inches.
Oerter threw twice and hit a low snow fence about 180 feet from the ring, but on the third toss sent a whistling throw over the fence and onto the track.
Missouri's Batch clipped .2 off the meet high hurdles record with a splendid 14.3 clocking, nosing out teammate John Mcintyre. He came back to edge McIntyre in the low hurdles in 24.2.
A former Newton High School athlete, Henry Wiebe, won the 100 and 200-yard dashes. Seeking a triple in the low hurdles, he hit a hurdle while rounding a curve and fell. This allowed KU's Bill Tillman to slip in for third pace in the event.
As expected, KU's distance strength saved the day for the Jayhawkers. Hal Long breezed through a 4:12.6 mile to beat teammate Bernie Gay in a photo finish with Jan Howell third.
Cushman Runs 4:11.6
Long's effort was overshadowed by a KU freshman, Cliff Cushman. Running in an exhibition mile, Cushman ripped off the distance in 4:11.6, only 1.6 off the national

freshman record, in beating Jack Shroeder.
KU's Lowell Janzen broke an 8- year old record in the half mile as he sprinted home in 1:51.6.
KU's Jerry McNeal romped off with the 2-mile as he ran the fourth best time in the nation this year, a blazing 9:05.3. The Jayhawkers' Tom Skutka was second in a fine 9:15.1.
Missouri's Pete Orr, lengthening his stride with every yard, gobbled up KU's Wyatt and Louie Stroup to break his own quarter mile record with a 47.9 clocking. However, Stroup came back to beat Orr in the takeoff carry in the mile relay.
McNeal's Time In Ton Three
McNeal's time was the third fastest by a Big Seven preformer in history, topped only by Wes Santee's 8:58 and Herb Santee's 9:05.
The only man to place in three events was KU's Kent Floerke. He led a KU sweep of the broadjump with a 23 foot $11\frac{1}{2}$ inch effort and finished third in the javelin and high jump.
The other new record was set in the pole vault by KU's Dave Tams and Missouri's Karl Englund and Robert Davis as they all jumped over the bar at 13 foot $7 \frac{1}{2}$ inches, beating the former record of Tams by $3 / 4$ inch.
