Shot Put Ace May Beat Record At Relays
Randy Matson, outstanding shot putter from Texas A&M, will be trying to better the new world mark he set Saturday when he performs in the Kansas Relays this weekend.
While in high school, Matson was outstanding in every sport. Then Matson wondered what would happen if he concentrated on one sport like track. The rest is history.
Matson, who is just 20, uncoiled at the Texas Relays two weekends ago and hurled the 16-pound iron
Mitchell Says First Practice Is 'Enthusiastic'
Coach Jack Mitchell said the first day of Jayhawk spring football drills was marked by "lots of enthusiasm."
More than 88 men took the field for an afternoon of "fundamentals" according to Mitchell. "We were real impressed with the guys' condition. They must have been working out before practice." he said.
Mitchell said the squad has more passing and receiving talent this year and the practices will be keyed to work more with these capabilities. Passing talents include Bob Skahan, outstanding sophomore quarterback from last year; Bill Fenton; Charles Hess; and two sophomores, Dave Bouda and Bill Trull.
Fenton and Skahan are active on the baseball team, too, but Mitchell said it doesn't pose too many problems for the boys to make both practice sessions.
The early practice sessions will be primarily to find out which of the boys out are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to play on the team. Mitchell noted.
Practice sessions will be on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday afternoons and Saturday morning. They will last till May 15. Mitchell said there will be a short scrimmage Saturday.
Rugby Club Loses
The KU Rugby Club dropped their first game of the season April 3 in Kansas City to the St. Louis University Billikins. The score was 13-3. It was the seventh game this year for the Billikins. Six of the Jayhawk players were making their debut in this contest. In an earlier contest the St. Louis second team had defeated the Kansas City Rugby Club, 16-3. For the second game of the season, the KU club will send two teams to play in the St. Louis Easter Tournament to be held this weekend.

Named the outstanding athlete at the Texas Relays, Matson is picked to better existing marks in both the shot put and the discus at the Relays this weekend. The top mark of 60' $23^{\frac{1}{4}}$ for the Kansas Relays was set last year by Danny Roberts, also of Texas A&M. Al Oerter, two-time Olympic champion from Kansas, holds the Relays discus mark of 178' 1" set in 1957.
