OH-OH!-A player from the Kansas City Rugby Club decides the time has come to get rid of the ball as two KU players close in on him. The Jayhawk club played the Kansas City group Saturday afternoon on the intramural field. The Kansas City club won, 8-3.
Jayhawks Triumph in Four-Mile At Record-Strewn Drake Meet
The KU Jayhawks swept to a record-breaking finish in the four-mile Relay Friday to add their mark to many that were set at the annual Drake Relays.
The victory completed a sweep of the triple crown of the Texas, Kansas, and Drake Relays for the Jayhawks. Their winning time was 16:40.6, a little better than 10 seconds better than the old mark of 16:51.4 set by Stanford in 1963.
Tom Yergovich led the KU squad with the best mile ever turned in for his college career—a scorching 4:07.8. He was followed by Paul Donner with 4:14.9 and John Lawson with 4:09.0. Herald Hadley anchored the Jayhawk squad and had to fight off the anchor man from the Oregon State squad several times before Hadley broke loose and finished some 20 yards ahead for the record.
The team dedicated the victory to their coach, Bill Easton, who was fired last Tuesday. They had expressed a desire to finish with a flourish to honor Easton. Easton was anxious for the victory, too, as
he spent seven years at Drake before coming to KU and he personally savors the victories there a little more than others.
Among the field of athletes that was busy shattering records during the two-day meet was the amazing Randy Matson of Texas A & M. As has been his style while traveling the midwest relays circuit, Matson broke records wherever he participated.
in the discus throw Friday, Matson hurled the saucer 191' $2 \frac{1}{2}$" to shatter the old mark of 185' $7 \frac{1}{2}$" held by KU's Al Oerter. In Saturday's competition, Matson broke the old record in the shot put when he tossed the iron ball 63' $11 \frac{1}{4}$", exactly four feet shy of his world record throw set two weeks ago.
Conrad Nightingale of Kansas State became the fifth man in Big Eight history to run the two mile in less than nine minutes. He finished in 8:58.9.
In Saturday's competition, the Big Eight only had two winners. Charlie Greene of Nebraska streaked down a 100-yard stretch in 9.4 seconds to
win that event. A tailwind, also clocked at 9.4, kept Greene's effort off the books as a record-tying sprint.
The Oklahoma State two-mile relay team went to the relays with intentions of capturing the world mark for the event which now stands at 7:19.0. However, the Cowboys had to settle for a winning 7:24.2 which enabled them to complete a sweep of the triple crown in their event.
The Jayhawk distance medley crew was unable to get the jump on a strong Notre Dame team that took the victory from KU with a 12-yard victory.
The Jayhawks had two runners-up in the Saturday games. Tom Purma threw the javelin for second place in that event. Glenn Martin traveled 48' 71.4" in the triple jump for the longest jump this season in the Big Eight.
Missouri also had a second-place finisher with Gene Crews who had the misfortune to be in the same event with Matson. Crews tossed the shot 57" $61_{2}^{'}$ .
Jayhawks Drop Two of Three At Oklahoma
Inconsistent pitching and two costly fielding errors dimmed KU hopes of a Big Eight baseball championship, as Oklahoma University downed the Jayhawks twice in a three game series played at Norman Friday and Saturday.
KU managed to win only the second game Friday, 3-2, behind the four-hit pitching of Fred Chana. Oklahoma won the other two, 6-4 and 3-2.
Jayhawk pitchers gave up only 11 hits in the series, but allowed 25 walks and threw three wild pitches.
Steve Renko started the first game of the Friday double-header and allowed only four Oklahoma hits. The Sooners made good use of the hits though, as Renko issued 11 walks and threw one wild pitch.
Fred Chana, upping his season record to 3-1, also had control problems as he walked seven in the second game Friday. Chana was aided in his victory by left fielder Steve McGrevey and second baseman Dick Ruggles who combined to club all five Jayhawk hits and drive in all three runs.
Fred Littoo pitched the final game, allowing only three hits, but fell victim to errors and his own wildness. Littoo walked seven men
Ruggles paced the KU attack with six hits in 12 times at bat, driving in two runs. McGreevy went five for 11 and drove in three runs. Renko hit a home run in the first game with nobody on, and Ray dittoed the feat in the third game.
The series dropped KU into a tie for third place in the conference standings with Iowa State. Both teams have 5-4 records. Nebraska leads the league at 5-2.
KU Court Crews Get Another Win
John Grantham, Lance Burr, John Guyot and Bill Terry recorded double victories for KU in singles competition. Jim Burns was the only Jayhawk failing to win a match in the singles as he fell to Wichita State ace, Ben Anzola. Anzola won 1-6, 6-2, and 6-0 Friday and 6-2 and 6-2 Saturday.
The KU tennis team continued its winning ways with 6-1 and 5-2 triumphs over Wichita State at Wichita Fridav and Saturday.
Grantham and Guyot teamed to score doubles victories both days over Wichita State's Lin Harris and Ned Stoll.
Burns and Burr split their doubles matches with Anzola and Van Thompson, winning 8-6 and 7-5 Friday and losing 6-4, 2-6, and 3-6 Saturday.
The victories upped Coach Bob Mulcahy's netmen to a 10-1 season record.
