University of Kansas 440 hurdle Nolan Cromwell was mad at him睡觉, spinner Clifford Wiley was pleasantly surprised and Danny Seymur was in another fine series of jumps Saturday as the KU track team won back-to-back semifinals in invitational track at Tuscaloosa. Ala

Nolan Cronan well became the fifth fastest 440-yard intermediate hurdler in KU history Saturday by recording a $2.9 second time in his first hurdle race of the year.

Swimmers fall short despite improvement
Dick Reamon, University of Kansas swimming coach, said Monday that he's more frustrated than disappointed over his Jayhawk swimmers' scoreless performance in the NCAA championships last weekend at Cleveland.
Defending champion University of Southern California again won the national championship. No Big Eight team scored in the meet.
Tom Compton's school-record time of 58.66 in the 100 backstroke would have placed him fifth in last year's NCAA meet, for which he would be for only 14th place. Reason said.
"How do you plan for something like that, when you better a time that got fifth place last year and it gets 14th this year?" Reemon said. "The Oklahoma State buty, you get seventh year with a (5:1) plus, he swam to 1:50 plus and got 16th."
Despite his remarkable effort, Cromwell was mad man for finishing second in the race he had been preparing for.
"What can you do when you're doing
greater than your name before and
after?" he ragefully.
The Jayhawks set school records in the 108 backstroke, 100 freestyle and 400 medley relay races at Cleveland, yet a 14th place finish in the 100 yard backstroke was KU's highest placing. Points were awarded to the first 12 finishes in an event.
"Actually, the meet was a lot faster than I've ever seen it before," Reamon said. "It's the first time in three years that they've had the meet in a deep pool and I think that was one of the reasons for improved times."

Senior spinner Allan McDonald swam to a Big Eight best in the 100 freestyle, and the 400 medley relay team of McDonald, Compton, Don Menzie and Mike Ulffers swam to a school record 3:30.5, but neither performance scored.
"But you have to point out exactly what the national collegiate meet is," Reason said in explaining the Jayhawks' futility. "This is better than Olympic competition because, for instance, Australia is one of the top swimming countries in the world and it doesn't even have a collegiate swimming program. The top Australians attend schools in the United States, as do swimmers from other countries like Europe. So the world's top competitors who are around the 18 to 22 year-old range are in that meet.
"Additionally, in Olympic competition, the United States can enter only three
The University of Kansas tennis team's 7-2 loss to Oklahoma State University wasn't as dismal as it might seem, Steve Vann, assistant tennis coach, said last week.
Tennis team downed 7-2
Despite the loss of its two top players, Oklahoma State still has a solid, experienced team. Matt Murray, Tim Headlek, KU's No. 1 and 2 players, beat the top Oklahoma State double team, and Clark won his singles match against Oklahoma State's Dean White, OSU's No. 1 player.
Vann said that Greg Buller, KU's fourth man, also played well. The Oklahoma State team will probably finish second or third in the Big Eight, according to vann.
Each Big Eight match counts one point toward the conference title, and each match in the conference tournament also counts one point.
The match was the first conference match for the KU team.

The KU team is young and inexperienced but has showed potential for improvement, Vann said. The line-up of Clark, Headke, Buller, Jeff Thomas, Marty Gilland and John Farrer probably won't be changed, Vann said.
He said Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State had the best teams in the Big Eight, and KU would be working toward a better future. He has a particularly strong team, he said.
Wet grounds caused the cancellation of last weekend's three-game series between the University of Kansas and the University of Nebraska.

swimmers in each event and these are usually three of the top performers in the world. Well, it's pretty easy to score when you've already eliminated large numbers of talented people in our country who were at the NCAA meet."
Swimming times are constantly improving, Reamon said, because swimmers are training more intensely than ever before.
"The reasons for improved times are many and varied," Reason said, "but for the most part our training is just so much more intense than it's ever been before." Our goal is to teach students for a period of ten or twelve years to achieve this national callibration level of conditioning.
"If a young man has the right kind of mind and discipline and is willing to work for 10 or 12 years, there's no reason to think he can't be a championship swimmer. And enough people in our area who have trained like this for a long enough period of time."
The season is over for the Jayhawk swimmers, who compiled a 5-2 dual meet record early in the season and won their first Big Eight championship a few weeks ago.
"We have to do a better job of recruiting to stay in the thick of things next year," Reamon said. "Our state high school meet was, I think, the best it's ever been and we're all going to make people in it. If we can get those people who own our state records, we'll be all right."
Coach Reason must plunge full-speed into a different season, the recruiting one, and find the talent needed to fill a void made by five graduating seniors.
"I think our program's on about as stable a footing as it ever has been. From what I've seen and heard, our swimmers are pretty good," she said. "But never before, and that's what's important."
Cromwell's 50-yard sprint for the tape
fired up the crowd, second five,
vines behind the winner.
In contrast to the bullish, football player's running style of Nolan Cromwell was the crisp, rest and relaxed sprint style of the other winner of the 100, 220 and 440-yard relay.
While concentrating on his competition, Cromwell didn't anticipate the last hurdle. He ended up jumping it like a picket fence, and lost, tragically, of his earlier momentum.
Wiley stepped up to his starting blocks in the 100-yard dash, spent some time adjusting them to fit and proceeded to blaze his first 9.4 hundred.
"I was expecting a 9.6." Wiley said. "I
told him that, if I got out that, I got
unwrapped. I didn't get out."
In the rain-soaked 220-yard dash, Wiley
let a four-man Kansas with a 20.9.
Tamminates Edles Lewis and Waddell Smith followed with 21.3 and 21.9 respectively, and Larry Jackson, with his 21.5 in comparison final, was given third place.
Wiley said that the handoffs by the KU team in the 440-yard relay were poorly executed, and that the team could have improved in 40.0 had their connections been better.
Seay won both the long jump and the triple jump with leaps of 25-10 and 58-6%.
If Wiley and his sprinting teammates were worried about their consistency, they had to make a decision.

UCLA wins NCAA
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Rich Washington and Dave Meyers of UCLA combined for 52 points and controlled the boards Monday at Bremen Brains to a 92-84 victory over Kentucky.
The win gave John Wooden his 101th NCAA national basketball championship in his first season.
time in the last nine years.
UCLA, which trailed by six points early in the first half before Wooden sent 7-foot1 Ralph Drollinger into the game, went ahead over the half and never trailed thereafter.
Drollinger added height and rebounding to the Bruins' front line, combining with the 6-4 Washington who had 28 points, and the 7-5 Atlanta who began to take control of its offensive board.
