Oerter, Shelby Shoot For NCAA Doubles At Berkeley
Not since Kansas State's giant football end, Rollin Prather, finished third in the shot and fourth in the discus in 1948, has a Big Eight weightman won an NCAA double. Never is history has a plainsland ace scored in both the broad jump and the low hurdles.
This is what graduating captain, Al Oerter, and the 1959 captain-elect, Ernie Shelby, will be shooting for this week end when they lead a nine-man Jayhawker contingent to the 37th national track and field championships at Berkeley, Cal.
Charlie Tidwell is entered in three events, but probably will go in only two. Any combination of the 100, 220, and lows that he selects will be tougher than those confronting Oerter and Shelby, since Tidwell is not as high in the latest national figures as his teammates.
Oerter stands first in the discus and sixth in the shot at 56-1, but fired as far as 57-0 during the indoor season and has been beaten only once this year in fifteen meets.
Interested In Discus
Oerter will be most interested in defending his platter crown, of course. He trails his foremost rival, Rink Babka, 3-4 in their all time
series over the past three years. Babka owns a 198-10 adjusted distance (he fired in a ditch at the Apple Valley Games) and 186-6 legally. He slipped to third at Compton last Friday on 175-6 while Oerter was matching his opening meet high at Milwaukee. Oerter is unbeaten in 12 consecutive outings, having whipped Babke by six feet at the Drake Relays in late April.
Only two shot-putters, Dave Davis, USC's new intercollegiate record holder, who was third at Compton, Calif. on 60-5, and Minnesota's Bob Henry, Oerter's conqueror at Drake, outrank the 237-pound Jayhawker's indoor 57-0. He has been in the 55 to 55-8 range in his last three outings.
Jumping 25-5/4, best leap in history by a Big Eight athlete, to win at Compton, Shelly moved up to fifth on the national lists.
Shelby Sixth In Lows Shelby's 22.8 in the sixth swift-
est low hurdles clocking in the land, and one of those above him. Colorado's Eddie Dove (22.7) won't run because of a pulled Achilles tendon. Shelby ran third behind one of the prime foes, Fresno State's defending meet champion. Ancel Robinson, at Compton (22.8 to 23.1) and was second to another, Willie May, of Indiana at Milwaukee.
How well Oerter, Shelby and Tidwell perform will determine where Kansas finishes. Southern Cal and defending champion, Villanova, are solid 1-2 bets with the Jayhawkers engaging Texas, California, Arizona State, and Oklahoma, for third position.
If Oerter or Shelby, or both, take a double, they can take rank with 19 former conference hands. Only one man, Nebraska's Howard Debus, ever has placed in three events in one meet. He won the discus in 1943 and followed with a second place in the javelin and sixth place in the shot.
Oklahoma State's Orlando Hazley, Oklahoma's Dee Givens, and Nebraska's Keith Gardner also will be shooting in two events this week end.
