Templin Hall to hold "John Lawson day"
John Lawson, Kansas City senior, will be honored by Olin Templein Hall this Sunday, April 24. The day has been designated "John Lawson Day."
Mrs Laurie Crocker, Resident Director at Templin, said, "Templin tries to honor on outstanding resident each year. We look for a person who has brought not only
recognition to himself, but recognition and honor to the university and the hall."
LAWSON, NCAA Cross Country Champion in 1965, will be presented a plaque by Tom McCrackin, Kirkwood, Mo., junior, the president of Templin.
Lawson won the cross country title over the Lawrence three-
mile course in 14:09, after an undefeated season. Lawson beat Doug Brown who, only a few days before, had won a photo-finish from Lawson in another NCAA three-mile race.
Kansas bidding for slam in Grand Relays Circuit
Back in 1956, 1957, and 1958, with Jerry McNeal and Tom Skutka running all nine times, the Jayhawks swept for three years.
KU, by winning the four-mile relay this week and at Drake next week would win the triple crown in the event for the second year in a row, giving the Jayhawks their second satisfaction of slamming twice in a row.
Only Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,
and Rice have chances for slams
on this year's Grand Relays Circuit of Texas, Kansas, and Drake, since SMU and Abilene Christian are not entered at Kansas this weekend.
If Jim Ryun, KU frosh miler, were to sweep the special mile runs at Texas, Kansas, and Drake this year, he would become only the second to do it and the first to succeed while still in college. Wes Santee won all three in 1955, the year after he finished his collegiate eligibility.'
Three days later, Lawson won the National Track and Field Federation meet in Wichita.
DURING the winter, he beat Olympian Oscar Moore at the Sugar Bowl in 5,000 meters. At the San Francisco "Examiner" Invitational Meet, Lawson beat Olympian Jerry Lindgren in two miles in 8:41, ten seconds off the world's record.
He ran a close second to Kipchoge Keino in the Los Angeles Invitational meet. Keino is a top rated long distance runner in the world.
In indoor track Lawson was rated fourth in the world in the two mile, and third in the world in the mile.

Lawson tells anguish of relays
John Lawson, KU distance runner, says the mental anguish of waiting for the baton in one of the distance relay events is difficult to overcome. "You see the race start and know you are coming up, but all you can do is watch and fidget," he explains.
