Tracksters look to outdoors
By BOB HANSON

There's no place like the great outdoors.
There's no place like the great outdoors. University of Kansas track coach Bob Towers said it's worth going outdoors. It's no wonder he was happy to move his team from Allen Field House to Memorial Stadium this week to start a new season. The Jawahars will compete in this spring.
The first outdoor meet for the Jahyahs is less than two weeks away - March 29 -
when they tangle with Alabama and Notre Dame at Alabama.
Timmons' squad is coming off a successful indoor season, which included a second-place finish at the NCAA indoor last week. He said Tuesday there was a definite change in the track program as the team moved from indoor to outdoor practices.
Middle distance runner Jay Wagner agrees with Timmons.
"it take a couple to three weeks for us to adjust." Warner said.
Timmons said the adjustments the team would face include larger tracks, longer races, more open space for the field events and the wind.
The longer races should help the sprint team, Runners Cliff Wiley, Waddell Smith, Eddie Lewis, Larry Jackson, Randy Benson, Nolan Cromwell and Wagner Neumann. The larger injuries because of the larger injury tracks. The corners aren't as tight as indoors and the runners don't have to strain as hard.
Wagner said there was a greater sense of freedom in the outdoor races.
"In indoor track, you have to worry about position. He says Outdoors, you can run fast."
The shortest race KU sprinters will run outdoors is the 100-yard dash, contrasted to the 60-yard dash in indoor meets. Hurdle races are also lengthened from 60 to 120 feet.
Timmons said the hurdlers would work more on endurance because of the longer races outdoors. However, he said the hurdlers ran better in the longer races.
"The hurdles are better at the 120 than the 60," he said. "They have more time to adjust, especially if they don't get off to a good start."
"It's a tough, tough race," Timmons said. The weather is the one factor that will affect both the track and field events. It will affect his performance. Timmons said.
The biggest challenge the hurdles will face is the 440-yard hurdles, according to Timmons. There is nothing indoors that compares with this grueling event.
The field events face a different kind of transition from that of the runners. In the long and triple jumps, for example, jumpers must be positioned one behind each one-fitted two-one in the NCAA indoor, will

have to run on harder, shorter runways.
Timmons said that the performers' absence of competition if these events were allowed to take place.
But the biggest adjustment comes for the disc, javelin, stechleap and distance crews. During the indoor season, these wheels aren't scheduled because of lack of space.
"These guys have a lot of enthusiasm," he said. "They are really eager to get started." Field events captain Roger Hammond, who throws the javelin, agrees.
"We are looking forward to the first couple of meetings," he said. "After waiting through the winter, it's nice to get out. It needed to be a good mark your first time out."

Temple said he was especially pleased with his pitching staff, which gave up an average of only 3.3 runs a contest. He said junior Rob Allinder was the most impressive of the Kansas pitchers. He pitched at 18.5 runs a season. Texas Lutheran. Temple said that Allinder's control was very good and that he seemed to be returning to his freshman form. As a freshman, Temple said, he was one of the top pitchers in the conference.
Despite the win-loss record, Floyd Temple, KU baseball coach, found reason for optimism. He said recently the Jayhawks lost five one-run decisions this contrast to last season's trip when they were badly defeated in every game, but one.
