KU In Weekend Ball Bout With MU
The KU Jayhawks will travel to Columbia for a series of games against arch-rival Missouri in the headliner meeting of the Big Eight this weekend. The Tigers are searching for their fourth consecutive baseball title.
A Missouri three-game sweep over the Jayhawks would all but mathematically put the Tigers ahead to stay with six games remaining after this weekend.
The Tigers 8-3 lead Iowa State 7-4 by a full game with Nebraska 6-4 a half game behind the Cyclones
KU and Oklahoma are also a half game behind Iowa State, but each trail the Cornhuskers by .017 percentage points.
In other three-game sets this weekend Oklahoma 5-7 plays at Iowa State, Nebraska travels to Oklahoma State and Colorado 3-8 hosts Kansas State 2-9 in a battle for the cellar. The Tigers have won eight of their last nine contests after dropping their initial two starts to Nebraska.
Missouri unleashed a 44-hit harra-
rage in sweeping a three-game series with K-State last weekend and the Tigers' team batting average soared to 320, some 35 points better than last week's leader, Oklahoma State.
Missouri's Bob Robben, an indeflender turned outfielder, replaced the Cowboys' Tony Stark as the loop's top hitter with a blazing .523 mark. Carl Schreiner of Oklahoma is the home run leader with five while Robben tops the RBI department with 16.

Sophomores Work Well in Big 8
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The old hands of Big Eight Conference track keep pace, but the sophomores around the league are beginning to take over in some events on the eve of the Big Eight's track and field championships, May 14-15, at the University of Nebraska.
Universities Colorado's Jim Miller swept to a new American record in the 330 intermediate hurdles with his .361 and Missouri's Robin Lingle got a 4:01.7 mile, one of the best in the country this year, but the talk is still about a trio of Oklahomaans, a Nebraskan, and an Iowa Stater, all of whom are sophomores.
Oklahoma's Jim Johnson, who missed the indoor season while playing basketball, backed into veteran Russ Laverty of Oklahoma State in their dual last weekend. Laverty hit his season's peak of 6-9 in the event, but Johnson went almost one better - 6-934 to be exact.
This amounts to the best high jump ever recorded outdoors by a Big Eight athlete, surpassing the 6-9$\frac{1}{4}$ efforts of Colorado's Leander Durley and Missouri's Steve Herndon—John Nunley of Oklahoma did have a 6-10 last year, but a sticky surface was used to hold the bar on the uprights in the wind. Herndon, incidentally, is a sophomore, too, owning a $6-10\frac{1}{4}$ indoors.
owning a 0-174 in 2004. In that same meet, Oklahoma State's Miles Lister became the king of the discus throwers with a cast of 177-0, eight feet over his previous best for the year and the top heave in the Big Eight since Dick Cochran was throwing for Missouri five years ago. Earlier this year, Lister bested Larry Kennedy of New Mexico, the defending NCAA champion.
Making it a real day in Oklahoma for the sophomores was the Sooner's Bill Calhoun who reeled off a :47.1 in the 440, which ranks second only to his :46.7 recorded back in March in Arizona.
in Arizona.
Leading the sprint brigade in the Conference is a self-assured little guy from Nebraska, Charlie Greene, who has a :09.4 to his credit in the 100 dash. Another "green" sophomore making his way this year is Iowa State's Darryl Green, a hurdler, who has gone :13.9 in the 120 highs.

outdoors and quite a field is at hand to challenge the veterans. All of the efforts posted by these sophomores appear among the current Big Eight bests, with Nightengale's mark in the two mile the sixth best ever recorded by a conference runner.
(1:52.4), hurdler Doug McDougall, Oklahoma State, spinner James Jackson, Oklahoma (09.5), broad and triple jumper Ken Farris, Oklahoma (23-7 and 46-11), shot putter Barry King, Colorado $(55-7\frac{1}{2})$ , and others competing for the first time
