Three Relay field marks fall
Field event records proved very durable in the Kansas Relays Friday and Saturday. Only three records fell, two of these in the university-college class and one in the high school division.
John Vernon, Southern Illinois, leaped $50^{\prime}-9\frac{1}{2}$ " in the triple jump to beat the old record by three inches set by Clarence Robinson, New Mexico, in 1963.
KU TOOK two of the field events in the university-college class. Gary Ard, Modesto, Calif., junior, won the long jump Friday with a mark of 24'-10".
Missouri's Steve Herndon set a new university mark in the high jump. His effort of 6'-91⁄4" broke the old record of 6'-83⁄4" set jointly in 1963 by Jackie Upton, Texas Christian, and Leander Burley, Colorado.
Field events were an innovation in the freshman-junior college class, As in the track events, the KU freshmen took the lion's share of the four events, compiling two firsts, a second and two thirds.
Baseball series rained out
The Jayhawk frosh dominated the high jump, with John Turck, Wichita, taking first, and Ken Gaines, Kinsley, finishing second. Turck's effort was $ 6^{\prime}-4\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~}^{\prime}$.
Bob Steinhoff, Downey, Calif., outshone all opposition in the pole vault Friday. His winning leap of 15'-6" beat his nearest opponent by more than a foot.
Only one high school record fell. This was in the triple jump, in which Joe Housley of Hutchinson leaped $43'-71\frac{1}{4}'$, beating the previous record of $42'-10'$ set by Dan Burkman, Wyandotte, in 1964. Housley's leap is also an all-time state best.

29 women compete in two Relays' events
Women were also in the spotlight at the Kansas Relays Saturday as 29 girls ran in two events. The Kansas Relays was the first major outdoor track meet to stage girls' events in 1962.
A four-girl team from Texas Southern University ran a record-breaking 440-yard relay in 49.3 seconds. The previous record set in 1963 by the Topeka Cosmopolitan Club was 50.5 seconds.
A MEMBER OF THE 1964 U.S. Olympic Team, Janell Smith, won the 100-yard dash in 11.1 seconds. She also won this event at the Kansas Relays in 1962 and 1964.
Never remaining still before or just after her run, the 18-year-old Miss Smith said that "every race is important to me." She won despite a muscle strain she received in her left thigh and arch during one of her daily two-hour practice sessions. Miss Smith is a freshman at Emporia State but represented her hometown, Fredonia, in the Relays.
The medium-height blonde has set an Olympic gold medal as her goal and plans to try-out for the U.S. Olympic Team in August of 1968.
The girls who ran against Miss Smith felt she would win but considered it good experience to compete with her.
"I ONCE BEAT her when I was a junior in high school," said Linda Schram of the Topeka Cosmos Club who placed second in 11.4.
Exuberant was the word for the four freshman girls from Texas Southern University who broke the 440-yard relay record. Like Miss Smith, they said they also had strained muscles but did not let that stop their first out-of-state meet.
The tall long-legged girls formed their team this year but hope they will be ready for the Olympics in 1968.
