KU Relays Marks to Be Attacked At Drake Relays This Weekend
LAWRENCE—(UPI) - Track and field nomads start work today for the next big event of the circuit, the Drake Relays next week at Des Moines, after shattering nine records at the Kansas Relays.
New Mexico jumper Clarence Robinson set the record-making tempo at the two-day Kansas classic, but Wichita high school star, olympian Jim Ryun, grabbed the spot-light.
Robinson soared $ 26-2\frac{1}{2} $ in the broad jump for one new standard and spanned $ 50-6\frac{1}{2} $ in the triple jump for the other.
Ryun ran a solid 4:04.8 mile Friday, which was better than any collegiate effort at that distance in the two days, and flashed an amazing 1:47.7 half-mile leg to push his Wichita East team to a new national record in the two-mile relay in 7:42.9. The former mark was 7:43.8 by Archbishop Mulley High School of New York City last year.
STRONGMAN Randy Matson of Texas A&M was out to beat his
The only other individual record better was Kansas State's Bill Floerke, who hurled the javelin $ 266-5 \frac{1}{2} $ to better the 256-11 $ \frac{1}{2} $ performance of Red of Rice in 1963.
world record shot put of 67-11$ _{1/4}$ but settled for a new relays standard of 65-10$ _{3/4}$. The old record of 60-2$ _{3/4}$ by Matson's former classmate, Danny Roberts, in 1964.
Team relay records were improved by Missouri's torrid distance medley squad, Oklahoma State's two-mile quartet, Nebraska's 440 team and Texas Western's 880-yard foursome.
Missouri's distance ace toured the mile in 4:06.8 to anchor his team's record effort of 9:47.3 in the distance medley. Texas held the old mark of 9:49.0 set a year ago.
NEBRASKA sped the 440 in 40.5 and Texas Western's 880 team cracked that record with 1:23.8. Oklahoma State won the two-mile in 7:21.2 bettering Missouri's record of 7:42.2 of 1962.
Besides Robinson, the only other
double winner was George Scott, Oklahoma City sophomore, who won the Glenn Cunningham mile in 4:08.9 and the 5.000-meter run.
Hykle Van Der Wal, a Kansas State graduate student, defended his 3,000-meter steeplechase with a 9:- 21.6 clocking.
Phil Mulkey, 32-year-old Alabama school teacher, gave lessons to younger competitors to take his seventh decathlon title at this classic with 7.080 points. The versatile Birmingham ace trailed by 62 points after the first five events but won three of the five final tests Saturday.

By solving problems in astronautics, Air Force scientists expand man's knowledge of the universe. Lt. Howard McKinley, M.A., tells about research careers on the Aerospace Team.
(Lt. McKinley holds degrees in electronics and electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Armed Forces Institute of Technology. He received the 1963 Air Force Research & Development Award for his work with inertial guidance components. Here he answers some frequently-asked questions about the place of college-trained men and women in the U.S. Air Force.)
Is Air Force research really advanced, compared to what others are doing? It certainly is. As a matter of fact, much of the work being done right now in universities and industry had its beginnings in Air Force research and development projects. After all, when you're involved in the development of guidance systems for space vehicles—a current Air Force project in America's space program—you're working on the frontiers of knowledge.
What areas do Air Force scientists get involved in? Practically any you can name. Of course the principal aim of Air Force research is to expand our aerospace capability. But in carrying out this general purpose, individual projects explore an extremely wide range of topics. "Side effects" of Air Force research are often as important, scientifically, as the main thrust,
How important is the work a recent graduate can expect to do? It's just as important and exciting as his own knowledge and skill can make it. From my own experience, I can say that right from the start I was doing vital, absorbing research. That's one of the things that's so good about an Air Force career—it gives young people the chance to do meaningful work in the areas that really interest them.
What non-scientific jobs does the Air Force offer? Of course the Air Force has a continuing need for rated officers-pilots and navigators. There are also
What's the best way to start an Air Force career? An excellent way—the way I started—is through Air Force Officer Training School. OTS is a three-month course, given at Lackland Air Force Base, near San Antonio, Texas, that's open to both men and women. You can apply when you're within 210 days of graduation, or after you've received your degree.
many varied and challenging administrative-managerial positions. Remember, the Air Force is a vast and complex organization. It takes a great many different kinds of people to keep it running. But there are two uniform criteria: you've got to be intelligent, and you've got to be willing to work hard.
What sort of future do I have in the Air Force? Just as big as you want to make it. In the Air Force, talent has a way of coming to the top. It has to be that way, if we're going to have the best people in the right places, keeping America strong and free.
How long will I be committed to serve? Four years from the time you graduate from OTS and receive your commission. If you go on to pilot or navigator training, the four years starts when you're awarded your wings.
Are there other ways to become an Air Force officer? There's Air Force ROTC, active at many colleges and universities, and the Air Force Academy, where admission is by examination and Congressional appointment. If you'd like more information on any Air Force program, you can get it from the Professor of Aerospace Studies (if there's one on your campus) or from an Air Force recruiter.

The KU Rugby team held the University of Missouri at Rolla to a scoreless tie Saturday at Forest Park in St. Louis.
It was the second game of the season for the KU squad. The Rolla team was playing their tenth match. Rolla finished in a tie for second in the ten-team Missouri Rugby Union. They scored 94 points and only gave up eight points to opponents in the regular season.
A crowd of approximately 3,000 watched the afternoon of Rugby which included the KU-Rolla contest and six other games. The Missouri Rugby Union held their annual post-season banquet and dance that evening for all the participants.

Seventy football candidates will start spring drills at Iowa State today.
Coach Clay Stapleton has listed 70 men on the roster including 19 of the 20 available lettermen. Also on the list this spring are some 40 freshmen.
1. Hitting the books?
No, I was just thinking about what to give Sue. It's our anniversary.
2. You're not even married.
We've known each other
three full weeks.
3. You give a gift every week?
We try to remember the important dates.
4. Isn't that overdoing it a bit?
Not when you're in love.
Oh, we're very practical. Sue gave me a pocket pepper grinder and I gave her my B+ theme on Parental Attitudes Among the Arawak Indians.
5. You'll be broke before you get to the altar.

6. If you really want to be practical, why don't you get a Living Insurance policy from Equitable—and give her security. That way, when you get married, you'll know that she and the kids will always be provided for if something should happen to you.
Swell idea. Now, what do you think she'd like for National Crab Amle Day?
