Nieder Flips Shot 59 Feet
Bill Nieder, KU's Olympic silver medal winner in the shotput, is busily readying himself for this year's many spring track meets.
"I'm working harder than ever before; I'm forcing myself, and I'm much more serious about my practice," Nieder said Wednesday.
O'Brien's world record is 63 feet, two inches, while Nieder's best official mark is 60 feet, three and three quarters inches.
Bill will first compete in the Texas Relays, which come April 5 and 6. Then, after competing in the Kansas Relays and the Drake Relays, he will shift his attention to the various meets on the West coast, where he will face world record holder Parry O'Brien.
Although his three years of varsity eligibility are over, Nieder plans to compete under an unattached status, and spends about two hours daily in Allen Field House running sprints and lifting weights.
While stopping off at Hawaiien route to the Olympics, however, Bill heaved the 16-pound ball well over 61 feet three different times. But since this was only a practice meet with his teammates, the mark was not an official one.
"Ive been hitting around 59 feet in practice lately and plan an all out assault on 61 and possibly 62 feet this spring." he said.

A's Want Player From Trade
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — (UP) —Kansas City personnel director George Selkirk is visiting the New York Yankees training camp to select the player still due the Athletics in the 13-player deal in which the Yankees obtained Bobby Shantz and Art Ditmar.
MOVE OVER THERE BIG BOY—Bob Boozer, No. 31, and Wilt Chamberlain seem to be busy in a little shoving contest for rebound position in KU's 64-57 victory over the Wildcats Wednesday night. Ron Loneski, No. 33, on the left, and Roy DeWitz, No. 11, spring into action in the background.

Tar Heels Make NCAA Bid Tonight
Kansas, the nation's No. 2 basketball team, rode the sky-high shoulders of Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain into a berth in the NCAA tournament Wednesday and tonight North Carolina, the No. 1 team, opens its bid for a similar berth.
Utah and Bradley, meanwhile, accepted bids to the National Invitation tournament—completing the 12-team field for that carnival starting March 16 in New York.
The Jayhawkers' victory over K-State Wednesday night gave Kansas a 10-1 league record with only one game left to play.
It also sets up what should be one
one of the season's best matches— Kansas (No. 2) against Southern Methodist, the No. 4 team, in an NCAA tourney game at Dallas, March 15.
In other leading games last night: Louisville, last year's N.I.T. champion barred from any tourney this year as NCAA punishment, wound up its season with a glittering 21-5 record on a 86-7 win over Detroit. NCAA-bound Notre Dame ended its season with an 18-7 mark on a 94-55 romp over Marquette. Nebraska beat Oklahoma, 64-55; and NCAA-bound St. Louis downed Oklahoma A: & M., 74-59.
