Trackmen Leave For Texas Relays
This is the way track coach Bill Easton summed up KU's chances for the event as they finished workouts and prepared to leave for Austin, Texas.
A combination of bad weather locally and more meet experience by two opponents has put the Kansas trackmen at a decided disadvantage as they enter the Texas Relays Friday and Saturday.
Easton said the Jayhawkers could expect a lot of trouble from both the Texas University and California University clubs.
The weather has been a sore spot with Easton for quite a while. Tuesday was the first chance the trackmen had to get onto the track for practice. Even then, the track was soggy because of the continual rain and snow the area has received.
Easton, assistant coach Rex Grossert, manager Gary Rankin and 17 men left this morning from Kansas City for the two day meet.
"Texas has been in three meets already this season. They have competed in the Border Olympics, the Recreational Meet and the West Texas Relays. In each of these meets they have completely snowed their opponents," Easton said.
Easton said the meet entrants should expect a lot of trouble from California's Don Bowden. Bowden is the only American to run the mile under four minutes. Easton said Bowden would be especially tough in the anchor position of the distance relays.
He said California had also entered some meets and had a great deal of time to work out because of the ideal weather on the west coast.
About the only bright spot, according to Easton, was the rumor that Occidental College would not attend the meet. Easton said the school has always been a threat in the Texas meet.
Occidental College May Be Absent
Easton said he also expected a lot of trouble from Oklahoma.
Kansas might make strong showings in a few events, according to Easton. He said Al Oerter had a pretty good chance for high honors in the discus and possibly the shot put. He also indicated Ernie Shelby and Kent Floerke could make strong showings in the broad jump. He said KU's distance relay teams would have to carry most of the load for any team honors.
The Jayhawkers will not have entries in the pole vault and the high jump. Wilt Chamberlain, who is expected to make a strong showing in the high jump, has been out of practice with the flu. Easton said he would start practice Monday.
Preliminaries of the Texas meet are run off Friday afternoon and evening. The finals are held Saturday morning and afternoon.
The team will arrive back in Kansas City Saturday night.
Trackmen attending the meet will be: John Book, Mike Cummins, Floerke, Vern Gauby, Don Greenlee, Bob Lida, Dale Lubs, Jerry McNeal, Oerter, captain, Verlyn Schmidt, Shelby, Tom Skutka, Bob Tague, Charlie Tidwell, Bill Tillman, Brian Travis and Ray Wyatt.
Arkansas has about 2,750 miles of navigable water routes in the state and along its borders.
When lions charge, the animals come at an approximate speed of 40 miles per hour.
