Track team to try for NCAA title
By KEN STONE
Snorts Writer
Bob Timmons, University of Kansas track coach, and the athletes traveling to Detroit for the NCAA indoor track championship are being hoping will repeat itself.
KU has won two NCAA indoor track championships—1966, 1969 and 1970. And some of the strengths of those teams are paralleled on the 1975 KU track
team
long jumper Theo Hamilton and
Danny Seay need an inspiration for the upcoming meet, they can look to the great KU teams of 1966 and 1969.
In 1966, Jawhawk long jumps Art Cortez and Gary Ard finished second and third respectively in their event in the NCAA meet. And in 1969, the year KU had a dozen track All-Americans, Ron Jessie won the NCAA indoor long jump by beating teammate Stan Whitley by a half an inch, $25-\frac{2}{4}$ in 25-2½.
Seay and Hamilton, currently rated among the top five collegiate long jumpers
in the nation, have the best chance to score high in the meet. Seay's best of 25-11 matches Whitely's school indoor record, and Hamilton's 25-9-4 is far off.
and Harrington teammates Clifford Wiley, Eddie Lewis, Randy Benson and Waddell Smith, who have combined to produce the third best collegiate mole relay time in the nation this season, the second place final in the mole relay in the 1980 NCAA meet. That year, Kun raman 3:16.9, the team has run 3:13.1, a school record.
Only Idaho State University's recent 3-09,8 and Seton Hall's 3-11,9 are better.
Waddell Smith, who has qualified in the 440 and 600, must make a choice. If he chooses to run the 440, he theoretically, has the best chance to score. His 48.1 was listed as the fourth best collegiate time in the latest edition of Track and Field News.
But Smith wants to meet the best competition, so he may elect to run the 600, where eastern Michigan's Stan Vinson has the best time, 1:08.4; Smith's best is 1:10-9

champion, and Randy Benson are other Jahlaws qualified in the 440.
Seay is also entered in the triple jump. His best in that event was at the Big Eight last week. He last week
Tad Scales, whose 16-8 in the pole vault ranks in the top 10 on the current collegiate list, and Randy Smith, the defending NCAA all-star player who also have a good chance to place at Detroit.
Talley said he thought the University of Texas at El Paso was the favorite in the team competition. It has strong entries in the shot put, mile and pole vault. The University of Florida, Talley said, should also be a contender.
He said KU had a chance at the team championship, but a good performance from the team was necessary.
Swimmers seek 8th straight title
The University of Kansas swim team will attempt to win its eighth consecutive Big Eight Conference championship at the conference meet this weekend. In Stillwater,
Iowa State won the Big Eight Relays in Ames, Iowa, in December and KU placed fifth. Last season, KU beat State in the Relays 29-6. ISU took second place.
On Jan. 25 this year at Ames, Iowa state slaughtered KU74-39 in a dual meet. It was the first time since 1968 that the KU team played on boated by a league fee in any type of meet.

For the first time since the 1972 championships, the 'Hawks face a strong challenge, mainly in the form of a powerful Iowa State University team.
"From our diving squad, Steve King missed a lot of time because of mononucleosis," Reasonan said. "Mark Hill dislocated a shoulder, Paul Sweeney has missed nine out of the last 10 days with a foot laceration, and either diver, Rocky Vizzari, perforated an eardrum. That's the whole squad."
Dick Reamon, KU's swimming coach, said Tuesday that injuries, sickness and a poor recruiting year had been factors in the losses. When Reamon tells about the problems his divers have had, one wonders who let the water out of the pool.
Of the swimmers, co-captain Mike Ullers dislocated a shoulder in the first meet of the season, Roger Neugent broke his back and David Kegley had to quit the team after a bout with pneumonia. Over half of the swimming team has been affected by some kind of illness or injury this season, Rearmon said.
But gradually, the wounds have been beating, Reason said, and the team has developed the attitude and momentum that is necessary to win this weekend. The Jayhawks carry a 4-2 dual meet record into the championship meet.
"You expect the respiratory problems that go with swimming and you know some people are going to miss a few days with cold but I've never had an injury thing like this in the 12 years I've been here," Reamon said.
"Around December, I thought we might take third place," Reamon said, "because
we could see that our recruiting hadn't gone that well and we were facing adversity.
“But we’re in pretty good shape now. I’m not using injuries as an excuse. I can only speak for myself and I hope the squid shares my opinion, but I think we'll win it again. It goes back to experience. Those kids don't know anything but how to win it.”
the prize, and it is presumptuous to say that Tommie灵林, Danny Knight, Dale Morningstar will once more be an integral part of a Big Eight Championship team.
“There’s no way you can figure out exactly how you’re going to do,” Reamon said. “We don’t have the depth, the cover that we’ve had other years in case something would go wrong. And we haven’t invented somebody as talented as Iowa State.
True, Oaklanda has been playing better and better in its last three games. In the last match, Alvan Adams broke one of the last school records that have remained intact since his arrival at OU three years ago. Wednesday night against the Iowa team, Oaklanda scored a 25 record a school record 43 points and grabbed 25 rebounds in a 84-79 triumph.
"There's no way we can expect to win unless we have improvement from Dale Carver, Don Menzie, Gordon Docking, Mike Allevi, Steve Bissantz and Wagonner."
KU is without the depth it has had in recent years, Reamon said, and must have improvement from key swimmers in order to win.
Depth is an important factor in the meet, Reamon said, because there are many points possible in each event. The more swimmers a team can qualify for the finals of an event, the more points that team can score.
KU won the conference meet last season over the university of Oklahoma 442-314. Oklahoma will be strong again this year. Oklahoma will be strong enough to beat either KU or Iowa State.
"Okahama has good swimmers who are going to get their points regardless," Reason said. "They'll have their share of data." They'll have depth in terms of total numbers.
"It takes quality and quantity and you've got to have both to win."
The Jayhawks return to the conference meet with 11 swimmers who accounted for 45 points.
Senior co-captains Allan McDonald and Ullers scored 43 and $3/2 points each in the championship last year. McDonald is the defending champion and big Eight record holder with a freestyle and a member of the defending champion 400 varset freestyle relay.
Whether you watch Saturday's 2 p.m. University of Kansas-University of Oklahoma football game in person or on TV, whether you watch carefully and remember what you see.
Gary Kemp, who was the Big Eight Swimmer of the Year as a freshman and is now a junior, scored 47½ points last year in the championship and is the defending 400 yard individual medley and 200 yard backstroke champion.

Saturday's game will be the last home game for five seniors, the nucleus of last year's NCAA tournament team and this year's soon-to-be Big Eight champion.
Other returning KU scorers from last
The Big Eight championship will be the last meet for the whole KU swim team this season. Those swimmers with qualifying times or scores this season will go to the March 27-29 NCAA Championship in Cleveland.
year's championship are: Tom Compton, 3; Steve King, 25; Ben Wagoner, 23; Don Menzie, 22%; Randy Kanel, 22%; Dale Carver, 12%; and Mike Aley, 5.

'Hawks up for Sooners
Adam's 43 points broke the old record of Don Siele in 1967 against the University.
But the Jayhawks aren't likely to drop the last home game to the Sooners after Wednesday's nerve-racking double-overtime win over Nebraska in Lincoln.
"I thought we played with exceptional courage in Lincoln," Ted Owens, KU coach, said Thursday. "I thought that was the game's big factor along with Rick Suttle's and Danny Knight's domination of the boards."
And dominate they did. Together, the two provals held 45 points and 26 rebounds, and the Lakers lost by 10 points.
Gymnastic team hosts CU, prepares for Big 8 meet
Bob Lockwood, KU gymnastics coach, said it would take the Jayhawks' best effort the season to win or be out of the University of Oklahoma, which defeated KU last weekend, he said.
Lockwood said that senior Al Overton would compete in the all-around competition for the first time in five meets. Overton had been limited to competing on the rings because of strained ligaments in his knee and shoulder.
Lockwood said he hoped to end the dual meet schedule with a good effort before traveling to the Big Eight meet March 14-15 in Ames, Iowa.
In its final tune-up before the Big Eight Championships, the University of Kansas gymnastics team will host the University of Texas at Austin 3:00 p.m. Saturday in Robinson Gymnasium.
"We know we can break 210 points if everybody hits his routine," Lockwood said. "It's going to take 100 per cent effort, and every guy will have to do better than he's
done all year. But if we can catch fire, we can do it."
The victory at Lincoln along with Kansas State University's loss to Missouri at Columbia put the Jayhawks alone at the top of the heap, a position they aren't about to relinquish by losing a game at home to the Sooners.
in the Big Eight meet at Ames, KU will have to compete in the compulsory competition as well as in the optional events. Another team from Utah caused problems for his team this season.
"This places us in a position where we can win the championship outright," Owens said. "This hasn't been true for us this season until now."
the automatic changing of an incomplete to a grade of "F" after one semester unless the instructor indicated to the dean of ada- tion that "F" should be the final grade in the course.
He said it was difficult to get his team concerned about compulsions because with or without competing in them, KU would probably finish fifth in the conference meet. He said that it would be difficult to beat the four teams picked to finish ahead of the Jayhawks and that Kansas State University was too far behind to be able to finish fifth.
OBJECTIONS WERE RAISED to deleting the time limitation for changing the grade and to placing the extra responsibility on the instructor for making sure the student would be in touch to provide a basis for changing the grade. Some instructors said the new plan might force them to assign the grade of "F" instead of an incomplete course to the student about completion of course work when an incomplete is assigned. The instructor would then be responsible if this contract wasn't met.
but Owens won't yet admit that KU has all but won it. he said that there was still that one game remaining and that the team wouldn't look east Oklahoma.
Food fads ...
"We don't have it wrapped up at all," he said. "Oklahoma is very dangerous. Adams has been playing as well as he ever has in the game, and I'm playing its best of the right year now."
Saturday will also be the last time Suttle will meet Adams in a clash of the two best

ring Eight centers. Suttle has scored 96 points against the Sooners in six games during his career and Adams had had 94 in four seasons. He has freshman year because of an injury.

Francis Heller, professor of law, said, "I can't give the student the benefit of the doubt under this system because then my judgment would be challenged."
Among Owens and possibly the KU team won't be looking ahead to NCAA subregional play at Tulsa, many Jayhawk fans will be, especially since the Big Eight Conference champion will play Notre Dame.
It has also been announced that the second place Big Eight team will compete against the University of Pennsylvania, the receiving by League champion, at Charlotte, N.C.
The NCAA has announced that the one-shot try at Oral Roberts University will be against the Fighting Irish, currently 18-6. The team has played in year a in 75-99 shirt at South Bend, Ind.

Vitamins A, B, C, D and E are most commonly taken in large doses.

Vitamin E is required by all mammals, he said. It is extremely difficult to prepare a diet completely free of this vitamin because it is in so many foods.

Although most people can tolerate large doses, he said, some are more sensitive to the effect. It was recently eliminated from medical cases because it was a skin irritant, he said.
VITAMINS B AND C are safer than vitamin E, he said, because they are water soluble and the excesses are discharged with body waste.
The only slight hazard, he said, is that blood-crystalline blood tests can be affected by vitamin D.
THOUGH VITAMIN A has a toxic level approximately 10 times the required daily dose of 5,000 units, too large a dose can cause throbbing headaches, breakdown of the bones and skin damage and it is a poison which doses recommended by many people, he said.
Contrary to popular belief, vitamin C isn't a protection against the common cold, according to Lattakw. Controlled studies have shown that vitamin C has no effect on the immune system, but said, though it does reduce the amount of sick time by seven or eight hours.
Though vitamin D is synthesized by the skin, people living in cities with skies that are often overcast might need to take small doses of this vitamin, he said. Too large a dose can cause solution of the bones and deposits in the kidneys.
Vitamins a and D, however, are toxic in large quantities. Lutwak said.
death can occur if the level of vitamin D in the blood is high enough, he said.
People recommending high doses of vitamins A and D are deliberately committing first degree murder, Lutwak said.
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE to worry about the high protein-hat diet, he said.
