Kansas, Big Eight Indoor champions, close their 1961 indoor track season at Manhattan tomorrow in the Kansas State Indoor Relays.
The Jayhawks are unbeaten in five indoor meets this year. The dinders hold dual victories over Pittsburg State, Oklahoma, Missouri, and a triangular win over Kansas State and Oklahoma State in addition to their conference crown.

The KU quartet of Bill Stoddart, Kirk Hagan, Bill Thornton, and Bill Dotson took second at the Chicago Daily News meet Friday night in 7:40.3. Drake in finishing second at the Milwaukee Journal meet on Saturday clocked a 7:44.2.
Both times are under the meet and Ahearn Field House record of 7:48.5 set by Colorado in 1957.
JAYHAWK JACK Stevens will have an excellent chance to win the pole vault. He went 14-6 at Milwaukee to tie his own personal mark set in the Oklahoma dual meet.
Oklahoma State's outstanding sorhmore, George Davies, who
won the Big Eight with a vault of 15-4, is nursing a groin injury. With Davies unable to compete, Stevens should be favored.

One more goal and Geoffrion will set a new single-season record of 51 goals—a feat roughly comparable to a baseball player hitting 61 homers in one year—and one more point and the Canadiens will clinch their fourth consecutive National Hockey League championship.
Geoffrion tie Maurice Richard's one-season mark of 50 goals, set in the 1944-45 campaign, as the Canadiens beat the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-2. Thursday night and opened up a three-point first-place lead over the losers. Each team has two games left to play in the season, with the Canadiens leading the Maple Leafs. 90 points to 87.
Geoffrion's goal, which came at 14:15 of the third period also moved him to within one point of Dickie Moore's one-season scoring mark of 96 points.
Jean Beliveau, another of Montreal's stars, received credit for two assists raising his season total 58 and eclipsing by two the record he shared with Bert Olmstead.
