Foster Takes Track Contest In Scholarship Hall Competition
By Bob Curtright
Sunday was perhaps a bit too windy to be called "perfeet," but Foster went ahead and won the annual Men's Scholarship Hall Track Meet.
Jerry Nusbaum, St. John junior and director of the meet, explained that Foster scored only one and a half more points than Battenfeld, the runner-up.
Stephenson, Joliffe, and Pearson finished in that order after the leaders.
Nusbaum added that "all went really well this year," but that there were no "outstanding times or distances."
"LAST YEAR, we had some good performers, but Easton got them all," Nusbaum quipped.
Nusbaum explained that the track meet was one phase in the series of competitive events between the scholarship halls sponsored by the Men's Scholarship Hall Council (MSHC).
"We also compete in football, basketball, and softball to determine which hall will get the all-sports trophy," he said. Foster and Battenfeld are the principal contenders for
Swim Meet Set In Intramurals
Preliminaries of the KU intramural swimming meet are slated to get underway tonight in the Robinson Gymnasium pool, with the finals to be held Thursday night. Action both nights is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The seven individual events are:
the 60-yd, butterfly stroke, 60-yd,
free style, 60-yd, back stroke, 60-yd,
breast stroke, 100-yd, free style, 80-
yd, individual medley, and diving.
The two team events include the 160-yd, free style relay and the 160-yd, medley relay. Both relays require four members to a team.
The top eight performers in each event (excluding diving and the re-lays) will advance to the finals. Performances will be evaluated on a time basis.
Points toward the team championship will be awarded as follows: one point will be given to each swimmer advancing to the finals; the finals of the individual events will be scored on a 6-4-3-2 basis (6 for first, 4 for second, etc.); relays will be scored on an 8-6-4-2 basis.
this year's trophy, Nusbaum added.
"Foster took first place in football while Battenfeld took second," Nusbaum explained. "In basketball, Battenfeld tied with Pearson for first while Foster tied with Joliffe for fourth. Stephenson placed third," he went on.
The softball season has just begun. Nusbaum said both Battenfeld and Foster were undefeated. "Battenfield is leading with total points amounting to $12\frac{1}{2}$." Nusbaum continued, "while Foster has $11\frac{1}{2}$."
NORMAN BEAL, Tulsa, Okla.,
senior and athletic chairman of Foster explained that there are three ways the trophy can go. "If Battenfeld wins first in softball," he said, "then they will take the trophy. If we (Foster) win and Battenfeld takes second, then we will tie for the trophy. If we win and Battenfeld places lower than second, then we will take the trophy."
Battenfeld has had the new traveling trophy one year. Stephenson had held the trophy the three previous years and retired it.
NU Puts Big 8 on TV
A track and field meet first will be established at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium Friday and Saturday when the 37th annual Big Eight championships unfold.
Closed-circuit television, with instant play-back apparatus, will be used to film all the short races. Immediately after the races officials will be able to view the race again in slow motion to make sure of the finish order.
This revolutionary process has never been used before, either in the Big Eight or anywhere else. University of Nebraska television station KUON-TV, Channel 12, equipment and personnel will provide the closed-circuit facilities and equipment.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for the Big Eight to take part in an experiment, and at the same time
gain by giving our officials additional help in picking fines," Coach Frank Sevigne said. "It is very difficult to be absolutely certain in some short races, but this should eliminate any possible errors."
The camera will be mounted on a station wagon and will move from one finish line to another.
The official program for the 1965 Big Eight Track and Field Championships at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium will be dedicated to three outstanding contributors to conference athletics—the late Don Pierce, former KU publicity director and loop historian . . . retiring Colorado athletic director Dr. Harry Carlson . . . and Bill Easton, KU track coach who will be making his final appearance as Jayhawk headmaster after a sensational career.
