Only Weather Can Save Five Relays Records
Although they won't have their strong rivals, Abilene-Christian, to push them here, they will have the advantage of running one less turn than at Austin. The meet record is 1:24.6 set by Baylor last year.
Al Oerter, KU's Olympic champion, is the big threat to break the discus record. He threw 180 feet $ \frac{9}{2} $ inches for a new Texas record, and owns 12 winning tosses beyond Archie Harris' present 171 foot $ \frac{6}{4} $ inches figure, erected for Indiana in 1941.
The Texas foursome, Wally Wilson, Hollins Gainey, Eddie Southern, and Bobby Whilden knocked more than a second off the listed 1:24.0 world half-mile record, covering the distance in 1:22.7.
Only weather or injury can prevent the discus, 880-yard run, and three sets of medley relay marks from falling in the 32nd running of the Kansas Relays Saturday. Each of these records was bettered in the Texas Relays, April 5-6, as the 1957 track and field men began their record assault in the first stop of this year's relays circuit.
Five other marks will also be in danger, when Midwest, Southwest, and Big Ten athletes begin their attempts to rewrite the Kansas Relay's record book.
Texas' newly crowned 880-vard relay world record holders, Kansas' distance medley team, which ran below 10 minutes, and sprint medley crews from Oklahoma and Emporia State will threaten the remaining marks.
KU Under Medley Record
This same crew could also threaten the :40.1 quartermile mark, which still is awaiting world recognition. The Longhorns finished second to Abilene-Christian in the Texas carnival, clocking :40.6 around two turns.
KU's distance medley team covered the distance in 9:56 at Austin, which broke the old record by .09.6. Lowell Janzen ran his best all-time half, 14.9.5. and Jerry McNeal his career low in the mile, 41.2.3, to lead this foursome which was .13.7 below Michigan's seven-year-old Kansas Relays record.
Texas and Missouri also were under the present record at 10:16.6 and 10:18.0 respectively. Fourth-place Arkansas hit 10:11.6. A rematch of all of these teams is scheduled here
Both Oklahoma and Kansas were under the existing sprint medley relay record of 3:22.8 at Austin. The Sooners, with 6-5 Gary Parr anchoring in, 1:50, hit 3:21.9; Kansas was just one-tenth of a second slower.
Competing in both the University and College divisions at Texas, Emporia State, with Billy Tidwell anchoring in 1:47.2 and 1:49.6, was below the present college division mark of 3:24.4 in both flights. The Hornets clocked 3:22.9 behind OU and KU in the university class and won the college at 3:23.6.
The record will also be in danger.
Stewart High Jump Threat
Stewart High Jump Threat Southern Methodist's national freshman record-holder, Don Stewart, exceeded the Kansas record at Texas by jumping 6 feet $8\frac{3}{4}$ inches. This is a fraction above Bobby Walters' 6 foot 8 3/16 record, established for Texas in 1949. Stewart has gone as high as 6 foot 10 $\frac{1}{2}$ inches.
The javelin, high jump, and university division two-mile and four-mile records will also be in danger.
Colorado's Ken Yob has twice approached Alton Terry's 20-year-old record of 229 foot $2 \frac{1}{4}$ inches in the javelin. Yob threw the spear 222 feet 10 inches for a new Texas record, after tossing 225 feet $2 \frac{1}{4}$ inches a week earlier in a Colorado-Nebraska dual meet. He will be pressed by Buster Quist, New Mexico's 214-foot thrower.
Kansas clocked 17:19.5 in the four-mile relay at Austin. This is just a second over the 17:18.3 which a Jayhawker team of Lloyd Koby, Art Dalzell, Herb Semper and Wes Santee set in 1952. The present Jayhawkers also hit 9:44.4 to win the two-mile relay. Texas Christian was a close second in 9:46.2.
The tennis team dropped its third straight match of the season Thursday to a strong Southwestern team, 5-2. The Southwestern depth proved too much for Kansas, winning the No. 2, 3, 4, and 5 singles matches and the No. 2 doubles.
Riley Wins But Netmen Drop Third
Bob Riley, KU senior, who was Big Seven champion during his sophomore year and finished second to Oklahoma's Barry Walraven last year, figured in the only KU victories of the day. He defeated J. C. Louderback in a 3-set singles match and teamed with Ror Bevers to defeat Louderback and Gary Hays in doubles.
Coach Charles Crawford was especially pleased with the play of sophomore Bevers. He said it was the best he had seen him play this year, especially in the doubles.
Louderback, possessing a fine driving forehand, pushed the undefeated Riley to three sets before losing. Louderback won the first
set 7-5 with strong forcing shots and a good net game.
Riley changed tactics in the second and third sets by concentrating on Loud back's backhand. The move stopped the forcing forehand shots and enabled Riley to win the last two sets, 6-2, 6-2.
"Riley got better as the match progressed," Crawford said. "His concentration on Louderback's backhand was definitely the turning point in the match.
Crawford Optimistic
Crawford expressed signs of optimism for Kansas in future matches when he pointed out that the Riley-Eveurs doubles victory was the first
match KU has won this year in three matches, other than Riley's two singles victories.
The Jayhawke's were hand-capped in Thursday's match when Lynn Sieverling, regular No. 5 man, was sidelined with a blister on his foot. Sieverling also is expected to be out of today's encounter with Wichita and Saturday's match with Nebraska.
Thursday's match was certainly no disgrace to the Jayhawkers. Southwestern, although a small school, is undoubtedly the state's tennis power this year.
The Moundbuilders defeated the Kansas State Wildcats earlier this year, 5-2. They will also be favored to wrest the Central Intercollegiate Conference crown from the Washburn Ichabods later this season, a feat which has not been accomplished during the past ten years.
Stan O'Neil, Southwestern's No. 4 man, is a transfer from KU. He was a member of the Jayhawker's freshman basketball squad last year.
