Hanson returns to track after ankle operation
Bob Hanson will run again. In fact, the Kansas sprinter will appear with the Jayhawks this Saturday night in a dual meet against Southern Illinois at Carbondale.
The Wichita senior, who underwent surgery for bone chips in his ankle after the indoor season, had been faced with the knowledge that he might never run again. It was believed his track career was ended.
DESPITE the overshadowing doubt, Hanson said he has believed he would be able to run again for some time. "I felt sure I would be able to run again when I began walking on it (the ankle) about a week and a half after the operation."
Although admitting he is apprehensive, Hanson said he is happy to return to the cinders. He is not sure whether he will be able to return to the team on a full-time basis but, as he said, "We're going to find out this weekend."
Golf team leaves for Pikes Peak
The KU golf team left yesterday afternoon for a weekend of golf at the annual Pikes Peak invitational golf tournament to be held Friday and Saturday at the Air Force Academy Golf Course, north of Colorado Springs, Colo.
The team will play 36 holes Friday and 18 Saturday. Teams from Colorado State, Colorado University, Wichita State, Iowa State, University of Wyoming, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma University will compete for first and second place trophies.
On the basis of its season's record—10-6-1 for dual matches—Phil Dynan, sports publicity director, rates KU no higher than fifth.
Pikes Peak is the last major engagement by the golf team before the Big Eight Conference Meet at Columbia, Mo., May 23-24.
The KU team will return late Saturday night after an aftergame banquet on Saturday afternoon.
HEAD TRACK COACH Bob Timmons said, "This is just great because he initiated the whole thing and came to us. He certainly didn't have to. It was just something he wanted to do to help out his team."
Hanson will run in the 100, 220 and 440 yard relay this weekend. He was sixth in the 100 and 220 last year, but was third and second in the two races the year before that.
"He ran the low hurdles in 6.7
three straight times during the indoor season," Timmons said, "so we were real disappointed after he got hurt when he looked like he was headed for a good season."
WEATHER
Fair weather with cooler temperatures are predicted by the U.S. Weather Bureau for tonight and Friday with southwesterly winds up to 30 miles an hour.
