RYUN RUNS 3:58 MILE
Frosh set 4-mile mark
By David Finch
In only his third outdoor run of the season, freshman Jim Ryun clocked 3:58.0 as anchor man of the frosh four-mile relay team in the Emporia Relays Saturday. The Wichita Wonder's final quarter of 54.7 insured that the team would break the national freshman record for the event.
The team's final time was 16:- 53.9, below the previous record by 17.1 seconds.
Mike Kearns, Van Nuys, Calif. set the pace with 4:18.1, followed by Gene Johnson, Yankton, S.D., with 4:20.0 and Mike Petterson, Wichita, with 4:17.8.
KU TRACK COACH Bob Timmons was elated by the performance. "We just wanted to beat 17 minutes, and we sure did it," he said.
Ryun also anchored the frosh mile relay team to a meet record, his time being 47.9 in his team's effort of 3:21.2. Other members of the KU frosh team were Dick Borkkessel, Mission; Mike Sheahon, Wichita, and Ken Gaines.
The other meet record to fall to the KU freshmen was in the pole vault. Bob Steinhoff, Downey, Calif., jumped $14^{\circ} - 73^{\circ}$ to beat the previous record by $33^{\circ}$.
THE FRESHMAN team took the lion's share in the freshmanjuco division, by winning 14 of the 18 events.
John Turck, Wichita, won the high jump by leaping 6'-4". Teammate Ken Gaines, Kinsley, jumped the same height, but was placed second because of more misses.
But Gaines found compensation in the broad jump, which he won with a $ 2^{3} - 2^{1/2} $ jump, and the triple jump, in which his winning leap was $ 44' - 2\frac{1}{2}" $ . He also took second in the high hurdles.
Another frosh double winner was George Byers, Kansas City, Mo. He recorded 14.6 in the high hurdles and then took the 440 intermediate hurdles in 54.8. In between he ran third leg for the winning sprint medley relay team. Other members of this team were Steve Rangel, Salina; Bob Steinhoff and Mike Sheahon.
TWO OTHER fresh relay teams were winners. The two-mile relay team of Larry Woelk, Wichita; Kearns; Rangel, and Johnson won in a time of 8:37.8. The distance medley team of David Pitts,
Wichita; Bornkessel; Petterson, and Ryun overpowered the opposition in 10:29.7.
Woek won the fresh mile in 4.31.0, and the KU team finished second in the 440 relay.
The other two fresh winners were in the field. Gary Tucker, Kansas City, heaved the shot put 52'-11"; and Dave Shelly, Westminster, Calif., hurled the javelin $ 70^{\prime}-10^{\prime} \mathrm{g}$.
THE KU VARSITY was also present at the relays, and competed in the university-college category. They too made their mark in most of the events.
The two-mile relay team set a meet record of 7.29,8, beating the previous record by 4.4 seconds. Making up the team were Alan Russell, Scottslbuff, Neb., sophomore; John Lawson, Overland Park curt; Curt Grindal, Carbonide sophomore, and Lowell Paul, Miltonvale senior.
The other record for the Jayhawks was set in the sprint medley relay. A time of 3.223 was run by Steve Ashurst, Newark, N.J., junior; Doug Dienetl, San Francisco, Calif., senior; Dwight Peck, Woodcliff Lake, N.J., junior, and Lowell Paul.
ART CORTEZ, Carthage. Mo.
senior, won the broad jump with
a 23'-43" leap, and also took
third in the high jump.
Larry Burdick, Overland Park junior, leaped $13^{\circ}-9^{\prime \prime}$ to take the pole vault; and the mile relay team of Dienelt, Paul, Peck and Ashurst won the mile relay in 3:11.8.
Baseball team nets first league win as tempers flare in K-State series
Tom Purma, Scott City senior, finished second in the javelin with a throw of $ 2 1 9^{\prime}-5 \frac{1}{2} $ , and the other Jayhawk successes were thirds.
The 440 relay and distance medley teams finished third, as did Gary Barr in the discus.

KU won its first Big Eight baseball game of the season last weekend, but it dropped two others as the Jayhawks met Kansas State in a three game series in Lawrence.
Friday afternoon in the first game of the set, the Jayhawks lost to the Wildcats 5-3, but KU came back Saturday and beat Kansas State 3-2 in the first game of a double header. KU lost the second game of the twin bill, 2-1,
LAWSON also set a meet record in the mile with a time of 4:11.0. Gary Barr, Los Angeles, Calif., junior, was another record setter with his $54'-4\frac{1}{2}$ winning effort in the shot put.
IN THE Friday game it looked as if the Jayhawks were going to win as they led 2-0 going into the seventh and final inning. The Wildcats exploded for five runs in their half of the seventh and eventually took the game, but the baseball action proved to be less exciting than a temper flare-up which occurred in that inning.
A near fist fight between coaches and players alike came in the middle of the Wildcat rally when
Ernie Recob, K-State centerfielder, tried to score from first on a triple hit by Jim Sheffler.
Recob rounded third and slid in home with his spikes high, striking KU catcher, John Adams on the shoulder. Adams put a hard tag on Recob and the Wildcat was called out so he tried to put Adams "out" and a brief scuffle ensued.
THIS FIGHT was quickly broken up but another one almost broke out between KU head coach, Floyd Temple and Wildcat mentor, Bob Brasher. An ampire quickly stopped this pending action.
think Recob's high slide was a very good play.
In a later report, Brasher said he was dissatisfied with the wet field conditions for the weekend games and that Temple should have done something about them. Brasher apparently became upset when Temple told him he did not
TEMPLE said that at this point Brasher challenged him to a duel and if he, (Temple), has been 12 or 15 years younger he might have accepted.
There were no incidents in the Saturday double header.
IN SATURDAY'S action KU won its first conference game on the strong pitching and hitting of Jayhawk hurler, Bill Maddux. In the bottom of the eighth inning Maddux won his own game as he singled in the winning run scoring Don Davis from second. In the game Maddux allowed only six hits and struck out nine.
The second game Saturday was close also as Steve Wood, Kansas State pitcher drove in the winning run in the fourth inning and pitched a three hitter, giving the Wildcats a 2-1 win.
