University Daily Kansan SPORTS Seven Return To Defend Titles
Stucker won the Henry Schulte Award by a vote of the conference coaches last spring after lowering the low hurdles record to :22.5 and winning the highs in :14.2. He is among the collegiate leaders in the barrier events this year with clockings of :23.3 and :14.0.
Kansas State hurdler Rex Stucker, voted the outstanding performer in the 1960 meet, heads a list of seven defending champions who'll be in action Friday and Saturday at the 33rd annual Big Eight outdoor track and field meet at Colorado.
MIKE LINDSAY. Oklahoma shot putter, and Sammy Pegues, Oklahoma State high jumper, both will be gunning for record-tying third straight titles in their specialties.
Lindsay, who'll also be favored to win in the discus, has captured
HOST COLORADO has the defending co-champions back in the broad jump. Don Meyers, a junior, and senior Bill Toomey, both highly versatile performers, shared the crown last year with identical jumps of $ 23-5^{1/2} $ . They're among the favorites again this year, both having gone over 24 feet. Meyers is also the Buffs' top pole vaulter. Toomey is entered in the 220-yard low hurdles and 440 and the mile relay.
the shot at the last two meets with throws of $ 57-7\frac{1}{2} $ and $ 57-1\frac{1}{4}. $ Pegues tied for first in 1959 with a 6-5 high jump then won it outright last year at a shallow $ 6-2\frac{1}{2}. $
Kansas miler Bill Dotson, who did it last year with 4.13.2 at Iowa State, is the only returning flat race winner. Only a junior, Dotson already ranks as one of the finest milers in Big Eight history, clocked the third fastest indoor mile in league records with a 4.08.9 at Kansas City in February.

J. D. Martin of Oklahoma was the most impressive winner last year as he took the pole vault with a record mark of 15-4. But he won't even be favored in the event at Boulder. The reason is Oklahoma State's phenomenal sophomore George Davies, who whipped Martin with 15-4 in the indoor and who has already gone 15-5 this spring.

Rookie Pitcher Wins for KC
And Finley had the 22-year-old rookie righthander to thank for supporting his faith, despite the beliefs of General Manager Frank Lane and Field Manager Joe Gordon.
Bass, who came to the Athletics from Class B Sioux City, was headed for Shreveport of the Southern Association a week ago. But Finley overruled Lane and Gordon with orders that the 6-foot-3 pitcher was to stay. Outfielder Leo Posada was sent to Shreveport instead.
KANSAS CITY —(UPI)— Lanky Norm Bass, who was ready to return to the minor leagues a week ago, had Kansas City Athletics Owner Charles O. Finley to thank today for a longer trial in the Majors.
BASS GOT GOOD support last night from Marv Throneberry, who raised his batting average 26 points with three hits in four trips, and from third baseman Wayne Causey.
Causey, making his first start of the season, got two hits in four appearances and handed nine fielding chances flawlessly. Bass was never in trouble until the ninth when Ted Kluszewski singled, Ken Hunt was hit by a pitch and Earl Averill and Gene Leek hit back-to-back doubles. Archer came on and got Rocky Bridges on an infield grounder, but pinch hitter Steve Bilko doubled before Ken Aspromonte grounded out and Albie Pearson struck out to end the game.
BASS WON HIS second game for Kansas City last night, hurling four-hit ball for eight innings in defeating the Los Angeles Angels. 6-4.

Kansas Favorite In League Meet
Kansas looms as the favorite to win its tenth straight Big 8 outdoor track title in the 33rd annual conference championships at Colorado Friday and Saturday.
The Jayhawkers were easy winners in the conference indoor meet in February after losing to Oklahoma in that meet a year ago. That was the first time a Kansas track team had failed to win a conference title since the Jayhawker dynasty went into power in 1952.
Overall team balance, long a KU trademark, again may be the deciding factor in the team battle. The Jayhawkers were the only school to score in every track event at Kansas City. If Coach Bill Easton's team has a weakness, it lies in the field events where KU failed to tally at Kansas City in the broad jump and shot put.
Oklahoma, with the best field event crew in the league, will be in strong contention for the team championship, could capture it with a good team performance. The Sooners were second indoors this year with injuries and spills wrecking Coach Bill Carroll's team's chances of making a run at Kansas.
Track Results
Here is the finish in the Big Eight outdoor last year:
1. Kansas 150
2. Oklahoma State $73 \%$
3. Oklahoma $68 \%$
4. Missouri $61 \%$
5. Colorado $46 \%$
6. Kansas State $37 \%$
7. Nebraska $30 \%$
8. Iowa State $27 \%$
This was the finish at the Big Eight indoor in February:
1. Kansas 61
2. Oklahoma $34 \%$
3. Missouri 32
4. Oklahoma State 32
5. Colorado 15 9/10
6. Kansas State 15 1/5
7. Nebraska 12 9/10
8. Iowa State $6 \%$
Missouri ranks as the third best team this year. After that it's a wide open scramble for the remaining positions with Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas State all having fine individuals but without the team balance to contend with the leaders.
Olympic Star Dies
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — Harry Campbell, star member of the 1960 U.S. Olympic boxing team, died at St. Luke's Hospital last night of brain injury received in a losing bout at Kezar Pavilion.
Death came slightly more than 24 hours after the 23-year-old San Jose State College student was beaten senseless in the final round of his seventh professional bout.
The victor in the bout was Al Medrano — a mediocre puncher who had handed Campbell his only previous defeat as a pro. The Olympic star had gone into the return match as a favorite.
