SIU ends Jayhawks' outdoor track streak
By Ron Hanson
KU lost its first dual track meet in outdoor competition since 1562 Saturday as Southern Illinois University defeated the Jayhawks, 86-55, at Carbondale, Ill.
Before Saturday's meet, KU had claimed four straight wins over SIU including last year's lopsided $108_{12}^{-}31_{12}^{-}$ Jayhawk victory.
KU'S LAST outdoor loss came in 1962 when it was beaten by San Jose State in a triangular which also involved Stanford. Since that time the Jayhawks'

The resurgent Jayhawks are now 7-7 for the season.
KU's tennis team returned to form this weekend to smash Nebraska in a dual meet Friday, and then down Air Force and Iowa State, Saturday, in a triangular meet.
Only Don Gordy, Hutchinson junior, failed to share in the Jayhawks' success. Although gaining doubles victories with Mike Allen, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore, over Nebraska and Iowa State, Gordy lost all three singles matches to give Nebraska and Air Force their only wins.
Winners of all their singles matches at Lincoln and Ames were John Grantham, Topeka senior; Bill Terry, Hutchinson junior; Mike Allen; and Bruce Lancee, Prairie Village sophomore. Grantham and Terry won doubles matches against Nebraska and Air Force, but lost to Iowa State. Landek and Allen won against Air Force.
had neither lost a dual nor a triangular outdoor meet.
Heavy setbacks suffered in two of the events in which the Jayhawks were supposed to make a good showing, were part of the reason for the KU loss.
KU pole vaulter Larry Burdick failed to qualify when he could not make the first height of 13-6". SIU's victor in the event lost to Burdick in an indoor dual between the two schools earlier in the year.
THE JAYHAWKS withdrew from the mile relay event, and ended the probability of a KU meet victory.
Although KU lost by more than 30 points, the Jayhawk trackmen did well enough to set five meet records.
KU's 440 yard relay team of Gary Ard, Doug Dienelt, Dwight Peck, and Bob Hanson set a meet record with a time of 41.8 seconds, beating SIU by over a second.
second. In the 440 yard dash, Peck set both a meet and a stadium record with a 47.2 seconds time.
TOM PURMA, the Jayhawks all-American javelin thrower, continued his long string of meet victories in that event as he tossed the javelin 238'-11" to set both a meet and a stadium record. Previously this year, Purma has won the javelin event at both the Kansas and Drake Relays.
Two other records set by Jayhawk trackmen Saturday were the long jump and the 880 yard run.
Gary Ard set a meet record in the long jump with a leap of $ 23^{\prime}-10^{\prime \prime} $ , and Lowell Paul did likewise in the 880, running it in 1:49.3.
The top attraction for Southern Illinois fans at the meet was watch Oscar Moore, their Olympian, run his career best in the three-mile to beat KU's John Lawson. Moore had a record-breaking time of 13:37.3 and Lawson finished with a 14:07.3.
LAWSON came back from this loss to win the mile run in a time of 4:03.1 to defeat Moore by seven-tenths of a second. KU's Allen Russell finished third in the mile with a time of 4:04.2.
KU had two other victories in the meet, the 100 yard dash and the discus. Doug Dienelt won the 100 with a relatively slow 10.0, and Gary Barr took the discus with a throw of $154'-6\frac{1}{2}$. The Jayhawk's other discus thrower, Gary Schwartz, did not make the trip to Carbondale because of a back injury.
The next outdoor meet for the Jayhawks will be the Big Eight Championships next weekend at Columbia, Mo., where KU will be defending its Big Eight outdoor championship title.
Injuries mar grid game
Mistakes, injuries and an aggressive defense kept KU's offensive grid squad to only one touchdown in Saturday's controlled game scrimmage in Memorial Stadium.
Quarterbacks Bob Douglass, El Dorado freshman, and Sandy Bouda, Omaha sophomore, were both sidelined with injuries.
Douglass hit on 10 of 12 passes
for 80 yards before a sprained ankle eliminated him from play. Eouda replaced the young pilot only to be knocked unconscious after gaining 39 yards on three of four aerials.
