Big Eight Indoor Considered a Toss-up
By Bill Sheldon
The interest in the 33rd annual Big Eight Indoor track meet tonight and tomorrow night in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium is probably as high as it has been in recent years, both on the team and individual levels.
The expected duel for the team title between Kansas and Oklahoma should be even closer than the 611-258 margin by which the Sooners
broke the eight year KU hold on the indoor championship last year.
Kansas is expected to do very well in running events, but the balance and depth which the defending champs have in the field events may be enough to off-set the superiority of the Jayhawker runners.
In individual events, close competition is forecast for the shot put, pole vault, 600,440,880 and one mile runs, the high jump, the broad jump and the hurdles.
POSSIBLE RECORD — KU's sophomore 1000 yard ace, Kirk Hagen, has one of the best chances of breaking a record at the Big Eight meet this weekend. His best time thus far is two seconds better than any other runner in the conference and only one second off the mark held by KU Olympian Cliff Cushman.

CKLAHOMA'S BRITISH Olympian Mike Lindsay will be trying for his third straight shot put crown. His main competition will come from Missouri's burly Don Smith.
Lindsay has tossed the 16-pound ball 57-9-12 but this mark is only one-half inch better than Smith's best effort.

Another top putter is Iowa State's Dick Pilgram who has thrown over 54 feet.
In the pole vault defending champ J. D. Martin of Oklahoma and sophomore George Davies of Oklahoma State will battle. The meet mark of 15-71/4 was set by Martin last year.
Both vaulters have done 15-1 this season, but Martin holds a one-half inch margin.
KU'S JACK STEVENS has cleared 14-6. A repeat effort should be good enough to place third.
The 600 yard run mark of 112.3 held by Nebraska's Joe Mullins is probably in the greatest danger of being broken.
Colorado's Jim Heath has scampered the distance in 1:12 while KU's Gordon Davis, Missouri's Jim Baker and Oklahoma's Bob Wilcox have clocked 1:12.5. Bill Stone of Oklahoma State has run a 1:12.7.
In the 880-yard run Kansas distance star Bill Dotson will be trying to maintain the six year reign which Jayhawk runners have. Graduated
BILL EASTON
Bob Tague took this event the past three times.
DOTSON HAS RUN under 1:56 as has Cowpoke Stone although the latter was beaten last week by the Kansas junior. Hawker Bill Thornton has run 1:56.1, and is therefore a threat. He also nosed out Stone in the triangular here.
In the mile Dotson and Tiger Bob
Hanneken will duel for the second time this season. Dotson toured the distance in 4:10.4 at Missouri with Hanneken only 3 behind him.

The broad jump should be the best field event.
Sooner Mike Brady has cleared 6- $ \frac{1}{4} $ and 6-6 thus far in the high jump and is the favorite. O-State's Sam Pegues topped 6- $ \frac{4}{3} $ early in the season and should be able to challenge for first.
Kansas' dash hopeful Larry McCue and Missouri spinner Lane Patterson also rate good chances, having eclipsed the distance in 50.9.
