Tartan track stampeded by men's, women's teams
By KEN KREHBIEL
Kansan Sports Writer
The usually crowded Tartan track at Allen Field House has, in the late spring, been a popular venue during traffic practice, and it isn't because there's been an increase in men track participants.
Because of the illness of Lorraine Davis, who was the women's track coach, Bob Timmons, Thad Talley and Gary Pepin, the men's track coaches, will train them as coaches. Consequently, the three must now divide their time between the two teams, which now practice together.
Head Coach Bob Timmons said last week, "We're not trying to shunt the girls in any way. Our whole approach from the beginning, when we decided to do this, was to make the best girls' team we possibly could."
Anny Bouvier, spinner and shot putter,
said, "I am great of them to put the
ball in with us."
The three coaches will divide their coaching duties among the girls as they have with the men. Timmons will be head coach of both teams and work primarily with the girls in order to work the middle distance runners and Peaband,
Timmons said Talley would be the one with the most added work because most of the girls were sprinters or middle distance runners.
Gary Pepin will be assigned to recruit high school girls. However, there is a NCAA rule that says college coaches can't contact prospective women athletes until after March. The rule says the recruits must be a team coach, but not the girl, until after March.
Talley said that there was no set order of events for girls' meets and that this presented a problem from a scheduling standpoint.
Hoosiers still No.1
From the Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP)—The Hurryn'i Hooers are still first, but their frantic pace is being matched stride for stride by the Bruins, Terranins and Wildcats.
The Indiana Hoosiers ripped off two more victories last week, running their season record to 22-0. And the Hoosiers, the nation's only undefeated major college team, staged atop the Associated Press major college basketball ball, capturing the first spot on all 43 ballads cast by a major league of sports writers and broadcasters.
The biggest slip of the week was suffered by the Louisville Cardinals, who fell from third to sixth after losing a Missouri Valley State game. The defeat was the second in 18 games.
UCLA remained at No. 2 and the third-ranked terrapins from Maryland and the fourth-ranked Wildcats from Kentucky moved up one place each.
Also jumping a notch in the poll was North Carolina State, fifth this week, and Alabama retained seventh by defeating Vanderbilt and Tennessee.

"For instance, I spent all morning trying to set an order of events, because unlike a man's track meet where the order is set, there is no set order for women." *Milley* is getting a school bus and meets and scheduling all the events they were strong in.*
Timmons said they were especially anxious to get more girls to come out for track.
Saturday, Swimming-Big Eight at Ames; Gymnastics-Nebraska and State at Lake Lafayette.
"Any girl who feels she was a better than average athlete in high school, whether she went out for athletics or not, we不要 come out," Timmons said. "For instance, if a girl has never played softball but thinks she can throw a ball pretty far, she should come out because there's a softball-throw event."
Teacher Shortage!
Timmons said he had coached girls before in swimming and track. He said he didn't think there was any great difference between coaching women and coaching men.
How do the men feel about the female invasion?
"I have great respect for girls," he said.
"Girls are great tryers."

Jay Wagner, 600-year dash man, said, "They're kind of a nuisance, I guess, but they could sure be a lot more demanding according to what our Supreme Court said, than they are. They're kind of good to have around."

Talley has also coached high school women in basketball and, in college, track. At Tennessee, he said, he coached Carey West and the United States in the Pan-American Games.

"The level of tolerance and type of condition for women at this level are a little different," Talley said. "Also, there's some difference in how people respond, but here really isn't much difference."
Talley said that some of the women didn't run track before and that right now the men were taking a prominent role in trying to help the women's development.
Timmons said, "I think the guys are enjoyment. 'Yeah we've got a very pleasant bunch of girls.'
"I think the girls will encourage the fellas

and the men will help the girls, technique wise. The help should work both ways.
"I think it's been a little hard on the coaches, and it takes a little time to get things worked out, but things are going smoother now," she said.
"We haven't been overworked, and the coaches have really helped us a lot," she said. "The man help us a lot on our own. When we get lazy they'll yell at us to hurry
Patti Tainer, who runs the 220- and 440-yard-dashes, said she had run track at Northwest Missouri State before, she transferred to KU.
She said the men and women had gotten along well so far.

In addition to the regular men's team, 10 women will represent KU at the indoor track meet at the University of Missouri this weekend.
