It Looks Like Another Grand Slam
It Looks Like Only Outdoor Crown Remains To Be Won
If the KU indoor and cross-country squads are any indication of what fans can expect from the Jayhawker outdoor squad, then the fans have a lot in store for them. It looks like another grand slam team (cross country, indoor and outdoor titles.) If so it will be No. 7 in a row.
With the exception of the NCAA cross-country meet at Michigan State, the Jayhawkers have swamped every meet they have entered this year.
The Kansans started their cross-country season with a 15-44 victory over Missouri (in cross-country, the lowest score is the winning score). Next came victories over the Chicago Track Club, 22-39; Oklahoma State, 18-45; Oklahoma, 15-50 and the Big Eight meet in which Tom Skutka won top honors. Kansas was low with 26 points in that meet. Skutka also took top honors in the Missouri Valley AAU meet.
It was the loss of Skutka that hurt KU's chances for a showing in the national cross-country meet in East Lansing, Mich. Skutka became ill during the race and had to drop out. Kansas finished fifth.
The 1958 indoor season was a highly successful one. KU downed Oklahoma in a dual meet, 67-37, then took high point honors in the Michigan State Relays, followed by a 68-36 victory over tough Michigan State in a dual meet. The Jayhawkers swept the final dual meet of the season, downing Missouri 70-33.
KANSAS-OKLAHOMA—Charlie Tidwell, 60-yard dash in
06.2; Tom Skutka, mile run in 4:15.4; Ernie Shelby, 60-yard low
hurdles in 06.9; Ernie Shelby, broad jump, 25-feet 4-inches.
KANSAS-MICHIGAN STATE — Charlie Tidwell, 60-yard dash in :06.0. (ties world record in this event); Ernie Shelby, 60-yard low hurdles in :06.9. Bill Tillman, 60-yard high hurdles in :07.6; Bob Cannon, high jump, 6-feet $ 5^{1/4} $ -inches; Ernie Shelby, broad jump, 25-feet $ 3^{1/4} $ -inches; Al Oerter, shot put, 56-feet, 11-inches.
Dual meets and new meet records set by KU men are as follows:
KANSAS-MISSOURI—Chagelle Tidwell. 60-yard dash in:
:61.1: Ernie Shelly, broad jump, 25-feet $^3$/inch.
In the three dual meets that KU held, only one new meet record was set by a Jayhawker opponent. There were 12 meet records set by KU athletes.
Pintails are among the favorites of American ducks. Their name comes from the elongated central tail feathers. They are often called "springs" by gunners.
In the days of the Spanish colonial empire, Cartagena, Colombia, was a major stronghold because of its excellent harbor and the presence of a hill which could be fortified.
Dean Nesmith has been trainer at KU for the past 18 years. He was a three-lettered tackle in the mid thirties at Kansas under Ad Lindsey.

Headlighting a group of outstanding performers in the college division of the shot put is Al Oerter. Olympic discus champion. Phil Delayan from Iowa State, who won the college competition of the shot put in last years Relays will be back.
Delavan set a Cyclone varsity record of 55 ft. $ \frac{3}{2} $ inches during the indoor season. This is a foot more than the mark he used to win here last year. But Oerter reached a new career high of 57 ft. to win the league indoor crown. This mark is currently the best in the nation for this year.
Since both men will be competing on an exhibition basis their marks will not go down in the Relays records. The Relay record in the shot is 59-feet 7/7 8 inches set by Niedet in 1956. This bettered the old mark of 58-feet 1/3-inch set by Chuck Fonville of Michigan University in 1948.
The shot put event of this year's KU Relays will have some of the top throwers in the country competing for the crown.
Another top performer in the shot put is Beb Mifun of Minnesota University. He won the Big Ten indoor meet with a throw of 56 ft. 5/1 inches.
Since both men have used up their intercollegiate eligibility they will be throwing in an exhibition. Last year Nieder defeated O'Brien at the KU Relays with a toss of 62 feet 2 inches. It was his career high. But O'Brien has thrown even further. He threw the 16-pound ball 63 ft. 2 inches at the Coliseum in Los Angeles in an Olympic trials meet. This is the present day world's record.
There is a good chance that both Bill Nieder, winner of a silver medal for the shot put in the last Olympic games, and Parry O'Brien, the world record holder in the event will be competing on an exhibition basis. Bill Easton, Kansas track coach, said.
After graduation from DePauw in 1811, Schlademann became athletic director at Missouri Wesleyan. He then moved to Baker University where he coached until he moved to Kansas.
Porcupines force their quills into the flesh of an attacker by a slap of their tails and not by Robin Hood archery despite superstitions to the contrary.
After leaving Kansas, he coached 14 years at Washington State before moving to Michigan State in 1940.
Schlademan was track coach at Kansas from 1919 through 1926. In 1923 he worked with Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, then athletic director, and Dr. John Outland, to start the relays.
The Kansas Relays will be homecoming for the referee of the event, Karl Schlademan. Schlademan is one of the originators of the annual track event.
Eighteen conference championships have been harvested under Dutch Lonborg, Jayhawker director since 1950.
Schlademan is retiring this year as track coach at Michigan State after 18 years with the Spartans. During that period his teams have finished high among Big Ten competition and have also done well in NCAA competition.
