KU Captures Big 8 Track Crown
By Glen Phillips (Sports Editor)
The KU Jayhawks, putting their faith in strong over-all performance instead of a few outstanding performers, came through Saturday and captured their 12th Big Eight conference track crown in the last 14 years.
The championships were run before a crowd of 9,000 at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. A 20-mile-an-hour wind prevented the predicted all-out assault on the records. Only one mark was set and two equalled in the two-day meet.
KU, leading the field with 17 semi-finalists Saturday, seemed to be stalemated with the other top contenders-Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. But the Jayhawks
puled down 16 points in the triple jump to take over a clear lead.
THE KU SQUAD harvested a 100-point final tally with the effect of their depth. They only had three individual winners. Oklahoma was next in line with 91 points and Missouri followed up with 84.
south tonight.
Jayhawker Johnny Lawson was the only record-smasher of the meet when he sped around the track 12 times to grind out a record of 14:09.6 in the three-mile run. He eclipsed the mark of former teammate Paul Acevedo, 14:21.0, set in 1963.
Acevedo, Nakazawa, Lawson began his move for the surprising victory in the seventh lap of the race. Coming into the back-stretch, he decided the pace of the pack was too slow. Lawson began to sprint and kept it up for nearly 200
yards, until he gained about a 50-yard lead. He maintained this advantage and was challenged only once by Chris McCubbins of Oklahoma State.
LAWSON FINISHED some 30 yards ahead of the Cowboy challenger. Missouri's Robin Lingle, who had been trying for a double after winning the mile with a 4:06.1, could finish only third.
The first of the two equalled marks came in the 440-yard relay with Nebraska speedster Charlie Greene making up a three-yard deficit to Oklahoma on the anchor carry. Colorado's Jim Miller matched the second as he toured the 300-yard hurdles in .36.4 despite breaking his stride.
KU Netmen Champions in Big 8 For Second Consecutive Season
The KU tennis team took only two of their seven final matches Saturday but still managed their second consecutive Big Eight conference title.
The Jayhawks totaled 16 points for the top spot while the closest contenders were Oklahoma and Oklahoma State who tied for second spot with 12 points each.
All five KU singles teams went into the finals along with both doubles teams. But, Jim Burns was the only singles winner, defeating Vance McSpadden of Oklahoma. John Grantham and Barry McGrath won the No. 2 doubles spot with a victory over Bob Howard and Larry Grose of Oklahoma State.

Ryun Hits Another, This Time 3:58.3
Jim Ryun, amazing miler from Wichita East high school, blazed a 3:58.3 mile Saturday before a crowd of 7,000 attending the Kansas high school track and field championships at Wichita.
Ryun's performance marked the first sub-four-minute mile run in the history of high school competition. Last year Ryun had broken the four-minute mark in the Compton (Calif.) Relays.

One of the other Jayhawk victories was in the discus throw, Gary Schwartz, who has been hampered by a bad back since the Arkansas relays, felt right at the right time and broke loose to hurl the platter 170 feet, 9 inches.
Glenn Martin was responsible for the other mark set by KU men. His preliminary effort in the triple jump, 48 feet, $10\frac{1}{4}$ inches, was never beaten. It tops the conference mark but the results are disallowed because of the excessive wind.
CHARLIE GREENE, Nebraska's great sprinter, was awarded the Henry Schulte Memorial trophy as the meet's outstanding performer. In the Friday preliminaries, he broke the record for the 220 and set the new mark at :20.8, one tenth of a second under the conference record set by Oklahoma State's Orlando Hazley in 1959.
