NOT A BIRD OR PLANE—It's a pole vaulter.
Kansas Romps Over Sooners
Setting three new meet records and tieing two others, Kansas track men literally ran away from Oklahoma in the two team's eighth annual dual meet Wednesday night. It was an impressive start for coach Bill Easton's indoor squad as they downed the OU tracksters, 67-37.
Kansas finished first in nine of the 11 events in compiling the 30-point margin.
Tom Skutka, KU's cross country star, defeated highly rated Gail Hodgson of OU to set a new record in the mile run. Skutka's time of 4:15.4 bettered the record of 4:17.9 set by KU's Jan Howell last year.
Shelby First In Two Events
Ernie Shelby picked up first place honors in two events, setting a new record in one and tieing the record in the other. He matched the record set by OU's Jim Denton in 1956 by dashing the low hurdles in :06.9. He set a new record in the broad jump of 25-feet 4-inches to better Jayhawker Frank Mastin's 1956 mark of 23-feet $ \mathbf{9}!_{4} $ -inches.
Charles Tidwell set a new record for the Jayhawkers, knocking 2 second off of the 60-yard dash record of :06.4 which has stood for 12 years.
Jayhawkger Bill Tillman tied a record set last year by OU's Phil Frazier in the 60-yard high hurdle. The time was: 107.5.
Olympic champion Al Oerter heaved the shot put 56-feet 2inches and by doing so got the distinction of being the second man in conference history to go over 56-feet. The other man to go over this mark was former Jayhawker Bill Nieder.

McClellan May Not Be Able To Play At OU
Mike McCllan, the freshman football and track star who withdrew from Baylor University, enrolled at the University of Oklahoma Wednesday.
There was some doubt, however, that the controversial athlete would be allowed to compete on Oklahoma athletic teams.
Sam Boyd, head football coach at Baylor, said he refused Oklahoma's request for a letter releasing the forme$^{f}$ Stamford, Texas high school athlete.
Boyd said Gomer Jones, Sooner line coach, telephoned him Wednesday asking for a letter explaining that OU must have such a letter before it would allow McChellan to compete in athletic events.
Jones asked that the letter state that McCllan was released from his Baylor athletic scholarship, that the athlete had not been actively recruited to leave Baylor and that he had left the Texas school of his own free will, Boyd said.
Boyd said he could not write the
letter because he felt Oklahoma had engaged in some recruiting of McClellan while he was at Baylor.
McCellan said the idea to switch schools was his own.
"Nobody on the Oklahoma coaching staff has ever contacted me while I was at Baylor," he said.
McClellan said he originally chose Baylor because he planned to concentrate on track but started playing freshman football and liked it.
