KU Seeks Sixth Straight Triple
With fine performances in the Texas, Kansas and Drake Relays to its credit, the Jayhawker track team will begin preparations for a dual meet with Missouri on May 10. The Big Seven outdoor meet will be May 17-18.
KU will be seeking its sixth straight triple crown, which includes the cross-country, indoor and outdoor meets, in this year's outdoor meet in Lincoln, Neb.
Easton Expresses Doubt
Coach Bill Easter expressed some doubt as to whether the Jayhawkers could accomplish this feat again this year.
"We're quite weak in the sprints and javelin," Easton said. Also, our hurdlers haven't been coming through like we expected them to."
The Jayhawkers have failed to come up with a spinner to take the place of last year's Big Seven champion, Dick Blair. The failure of John Parker, a member of this year's NCAA basketball runners-up, to report has weakened KU considerably in the javelin throw. Also, Jim Londerholm is expected to have his arm operated on this summer, and it is hoped he will be ready for duty next year.
Easton said he plans to run his athletes in about the same events they competed in the indoor meet. He expects the strongest competition for the crown to come from Missouri, who finished second indoors. KU scored 64 points indoors to Missouri's $46\frac{1}{2}$.
Distance Crew A Stronghold
The distance crew is again expected to lead the Jayhawker attempts for a triple crown. Jerry McNeal, Bernie Gay, Jan Howell, Hal Long, Lowell Janen and Tom
Skutka make the Kansans almost unbeatable in the distance events.
All of these men have been principle figures in the Jayhawker distance, 2-mile and 4-mile relay teams which have performed outstandingly in the three relays. McNeal won the indoor 2-mile, Gay, Howell, McNeal, and Jack Schroeder finished 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th in the mile run. The only other Big Seven athlete to place was Jim Sanders of Missouri who finished second.
The Kansans also displayed exceptional power in the 880-yard run indoors, Janzen and Long finished 1-2 in the indoor meet to add nine valuable points to the final KU total.
Other individual winners in the indoor meet were: Al Oerter, shot put; Blaine Hollinger, broad jump; Ray Wyatt, 440-day dash; Mike Cummins, Bob Franklin, Lou u Stroup, and Ray Wyatt, mile relay.
In addition the Jayhawkers have Kent Fleorke, who finished second in the high jump and broad jump. Lou and Larry Stroup finished second and fourth behind Wyatt in the 440-yard dash to give KU plenty of power in that event.
Sure Points In Discus
The addition of the discus throw to the outdoor schedule gives Olympic champion, Oerter, a chance to show his power in two weight events. Wilt Chamberlain, who recently tied for the Drake Relays high jump title with SMU ace, Don Stewart, will give Kansas added power in that event.
If these men can counteract the weaknesses that KU has in the javelin, sprints and hurdles, the Jayhawkers could very well be on their way to their sixth straight Big Seven track triple.
Riley, Davidson Renew Tennis Rivalry Today
Calumet Entries Are Favored
Bob Riley and Tommy Davidson will renew their tennis rivalry for the sixth time today as KU meets Washburn in a non-conference match at Topeka.
Today's match is the second meeting of the two teams this season. KU shutout the Washburn squad 7-0 last Tuesday in Lawrence.
Riley Holds 3-2 Edge
Riley holds a 3-2 edge over Davidson now. In their last meeting last Tuesday Riley managed to outlast Davidson in a tense duel that lasted more than two hours. Riley won the first set, 6-3, but Davidson battled back to take the second, 11-9. In the final set Riley went on to win. 6-2.
Both Riley and Coach Mike Crawford feel that the one who wins will be the one who is able to last the longest. After last week's match Crawford stated, "Bob definitely was the stronger of the two today, but I would say the boys are pretty evenly matched."
When asked how he felt about tomorrow's match Riley said that he knows that Davidson will be extremely tough on his home court. "If I can get off to a good start I think I can win," he went on to say.

CHICAGO — (UP) — Stocky, muscular Gene Fullmer and slender, explosive Ray Robinson admitted today that their ring strategies in Wednesday night's return middleweight title fight will be much different from those of their January battle.
