Intramural Champs Announced For Badminton, Handball Series
Two teams captured KU intramural sports championships this weekend.
Beta Theta Pi No. 2 won the KU badminton title, as they edged Sigma Chi “A,” 2-1. The Betas had previously beaten Ellsworth 7N, 2-0, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 2-1, in gaining the finals.
Members of the victorious Beta team include Robert Holmer, Wichita sophomore; Joseph Jacobs, Leawood freshman; David Peterson, Prairie Village freshman; Boyd Smith, Grand Island, Neb., freshman;
Randall Viot, Leawood junior; and John Vratil, Larned sophomore.
Winning every match they played, the Spoilers claimed the KU handball title, downing Phi Delta Theta, 2-0, 2-0, and 2-0. Sigma Chi and Alpha Tau Omega were also victims of the Spoilers in tournament play.
William Bliss, White Plains, N.Y. junior; Ken Shumate, North Riverside, Ill., junior; Mike Mankin, Ft. Leavenworth junior; Lance Burr, Salina senior; and Frank Haggard, Carrollton, Mo., graduate, were members of the winning Spoilers.
COLLEGE STATION, Tex.—(UPI)
—Randy Matson, who "didn't expect to throw too well," has his niche in history along with the men who cracked the four-minute mile and the 17-foot pole vault.
The Texas A&M sophomore, who is 20 and still growing at 6-foot-6 and 260 pounds, pushed the world record in the shot put to 70 feet, seven inches last Saturday in the Southwest Conference track and field meet.
Rice University won the meet for the second consecutive year. But Matson had all the glory with the world record performance in the shot put and a new collegiate record of $199-7\frac{1}{2}$ in the discus.
Every time Matson touched the shot put, those who watched expected something. One of his practice shots nicked the yellow chalk
line that marked 69-1. That was one-fourth of an inch farther than Matson's pending world record, set at Austin, Tex., last week.
The youngster's weights coach, Emile Malamiga, looked at the warmup toss and observed later, "I can always tell his possibilities on his warmups. When he popped that one, he was right on the line and he wasn't even grunting. I knew he would do all right."
"I think somewhere pretty close to 70 feet is the ultimate in the shot put." Matson said. He does not expect to lift the record much more.
Other than the Coliseum Relays at Los Angeles and the following NCAA meet, he does not plan to do much more with the shot put.
"I need about six months off from throwing anyway — just to lift weights." Matson said.
NU Set for Big 8 Track
In an effort to insure the fastest possible track for the 1965 Big Eight track and field championships, University of Nebraska track coach Frank Sevigne has ordered a final touch of top dressing Monday.
A small amount of clay will be mixed with the cinders and then the entire surface of the new track will be rolled all week.
And to further insure adequate facilities for the outstanding field of athletes which will be in Lincoln for the Friday-Saturday carnival, allweather 3-M Tartan has been installed on all field event runways and launch pads.
"WE HAVEN'T been completely satisfied with the way the track has rounded into shape," Sevigne said in regard to the Monday top-dressing. "It's a new track, and it's in pretty good shape. However, the two inside lanes need a little more packing, so we're going to work on the job this week.
Gov. Frank B. Morrison of Nebraska will serve as honorary referee of the 37th annual Big Eight Track and Field Championships.
WARD HAYLETT, retired Kansas State track coach, is the official meet
referee, while Willard (Bill) Greim is the official starter.
Recall starter will be Gene Gross, while Woody Greeno will be the head field judge and Jim Thorell will be clerk of the course. Clerk of the finish will be Bob Hanner, Fred Biele will be in charge of wind measurement. Dick Klaas will be in charge of medals and the scorers will be Al Papik and Orval Borgiali.
Joe DiNatale, veteran track meet announcer at Memorial Stadium, again will man the microphone.
