Nieder Is Second In Olympic Effort
MELBOURNE — (UP) — Russia won four gold medals in the Olympics today and outshone the United States for the first time since the start of the 1956 games.
Parry O'Brien of Santa Monica, Calif., and KU's Bill Nieder combined to give the U.S. a 1-2 finish in the shot put, with O'Brien's heave of 60 feet, 11 inches, setting a new Olympic record. Nieder finished second with a toss of 59 feet $7 \frac{3}{4}$ inches, and another United States representative, Ken Bantum, finished fourth.
Hurdler Lee Calhoun of Gary, Ind., gave the U.S. its only other gold medal, swelling the Amercan total to 18. Calhoun also established an Olympic record in winning the 110-meter high hurdles.
Vladimir Kuts, a hardy, 29-year-old Ukrainian Naval officer, became the second double winner this year when he won the 5,000-meter run in record time. He won the 10,000-meter event last Friday. The Soviets also won the 20-kilometer walking event and the team championship in the modern pentathlon.
A Swedish officer won one of the severe tests of stamina and versatility on the Olympic program. Lars Hall became the first man ever to make a successful defense of his modern penthalon crown, which comprises five events.
The Sovets' biggest day thus far earned them a total of 64 points, which bit slightly into the U.S. lead in the unofficial team standings. The United States, which scored 44 points in today's events, led the Russians in the team race, 262 points to 214, after five full days of competition.
This was Kuts' day, however, as he beat the world's best distance runners in the 5,000-meter run with
In the pentathlon, which concluded with a 4,000-meter cross-country run today, George Lamert of Sioux City, Iowa, earned the U.S. two points by placing fifth in the individual standings. The United States also added five points by finishing second to the Soviets in the overall team standings.
an Olympic record clocking of 13 minutes, 39.6 seconds. He thus bettered the old Olympic mark of 14:06 set by Czechoslovakia's Emil Zatopek, who was a triple winner in the 1952 games.
Calhoun came home first in the 110-meter high hurdles, running the event in an Olympic record 13.5 seconds. He barely beat Jack Davis of Glendale, Calif., in a photo finish. Davis, also a second place finisher in this event in 1952, was clocked in the same time and both will receive credit for a new Olympic mark.
Two U.S. runners qualified for 400-meter run semifinals, but a third was eliminated. Lou Jones of New Rochelle, N. Y., and Charlie Jenkins of Cambridge, Mass., made the grade, but Jim Lea of San Jose, who became sick before the race, failed to qualify.
Harp Applies Final Polish To KU's Basketball Team
Putting the finishing touches on weeks of practice will be the principal occupation of the Kansas basketball team this week.
Coach Dick Harp's squad, which is rated in the top five in the country by almost all pre-season polls, will be polishing up on about 20 various phases of the game during the final practice sessions before the opener with tough Northwestern Monday in Allen Field House.
KU's top-rated team, features greatly heralded Wilt Chamberlain surrounded by four returning starters from last year, with six more lettermen waiting to move in from the bench.
Most basketball fans, writers and coaches, however, already know about Chamberlain and his feats and his few appearances so far have served only to whet basketball appetites.
Basketball fans, especially those from Kansas, await the coming cage season eagerly. They can envision coming seasons when even records set recently by Bill Russell and San Francisco will topple.
Harp, however, is not so optimistic. "They'll use everything in the book against us" he said.
Sportswriters see in the towering Chamberlain and this Kansas team countless good stories and only opposition coaches await these coming three seasons with misgivings.
But rival teams will have to use everything in the book to stop this team which so far looks like a winner. In addition to Chamberlain,
Rockhurst Wins Opener, 83-55
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP) — Rockhurst College opened its basketball season last night with an easy victory over the University of Kansas City.
Ruell Tucker led the winners with 22 points. Wyman Fair was high for KCU with 16.
Rockhurst held a 36-32 halftime margin and moved away rapidly in the final half.
Dick Stuber, Missouri halfback,
won a grid letter at Iowa State college before transferring to Missouri.
Missouri won the Big Six football conference in 1945. They won five games to have an undefeated season.
Harp also has Lew Johnson, last year's 6-61 center who has now moved to forward. His rebounding and all-around playing is something to be reckoned with.
At forward, there's sharp shooting Gene Elstun, who at 6-3 is filling the other forward position. This first-class quality prevails at the guard spots too as Maurice King, all-conference guard last season and John Parker will be the probable starters there.
The bench strength apparently is there too. Harry Jett, Lee Green and Ron Johnston are three able forwards and John Cellland, Blaine Hollinger and Eddie Dater will fill in at guard.
Marshall To Play Against Tigers
Harp thinks Jack Parr of Kansas State will probably be most effective as an individual against Chamberlain. The 6-9 Wildcat center who was named all-conference center last season will undoubtedly live up to expectations.
KU's hopes in the forthcoming Missouri game were strengthened yesterday as Bob Marshall, who suffered a shoulder separation in the UCLA game, was back in pads. Marshall participated in a dummy offensive scrimmage.
Harp believes Kansas State and Iowa State will be the teams to watch on the KU conference schedule while Northwestern and Washington rate at the top of a tough non-league slate.
In practices this week Harp will run his squad through final drills on dribbling, defenses (possibly three different ones), offenses (maybe six here) and such things as free throws and other important phases of the game.
Coach Chuck Mather said Marshall will be available for limited duty. Bobby Robinson is still expected to start at the left half position.
The Jayhawkers, for the second straight day, added new plays to their offense. No injuries were reported. Barring any unforeseen injuries this week, Dave Preston, quarterback, and halfback Bill Horn will be the ony two squad members not ready for Saturday's encounter.
COLUMBIA, Mo.—(UP)— Coach Don Faurot led his Missouri Tigers through a controlled scrimmage yesterday against the freshmen and varsity reserves.
MU Holds Scrimmage
The top units concentrated on defense against Kansas plays with emphasis on pass protection. Punting drills also took part of the practice time.
Four New Coaches On UP Board
NEW YORK —(UP)—Four new basketball coaches will serve on the United Press Board of Coaches for the coming season. The new-comers are Alvin Julian of Dartmouth, Dick Harp of Kansas, Russell Walseth of Colorado, and Ken Loeffler of Texas A and M.
University Daily Kansan
Harp replaces Dr. Phog Allen, who retired as Kansas Coach, and Walseth succeeds H. B. Lee, now athletic Director at Kansas State.
Missouri bean its football rivalry with Oklahoma in 1902. Since then Oklahoma has lost to Missouri 16 times, won 26, and tied 4.
Missouri had 19 returning lettermen to field this year against Big Seven competition.
