Ryun runs 'slow' 4:00.5 to top Field House record
By David Finch
Handcapped by a cold. Jim Ryun, the freshman wonder from Wichita, failed to beat the clock but still won the Kansas State Federation mile Saturday in the Allen Field House. His time, 4.00.5, was only a second behind his Big Eight freshman mile last week, and still good enough to set a record for the Allen Field House.
Ryun led from the start and lost the lead just briefly when teammate John Lawson, Overland Park senior, took over at the halfway mark. After that Ryun showed the way home, resisting a late challenge from Lawson, who recorded 4:03.2.
RYUN'S COLD caused him to retire from the two-mile event,
but he expects to be fit for the special mile event in the NCAA meet Saturday at Detroit.
George Byers, Kansas City,
Mo, freshman, had a double suce
s in the meet. He won he oyard high hurdles in 4.5 seconds,
then went on to take the 61-air low hurdles in 6.9. And Lawson
made sure he didn't go home
empty-handed by winning the
1.0.-yard run in 2:12.8.
THE LONG JUMP was won by Gary Ard, Modesto, Calif., junior, with a leap of 23-10. This pushed Art Cortez, Carthage, Mo., senior, into second place and so reversed last week's Big Eight result, which Cortez won with Ard in third place.
Bob Steinhoff, Downey, Calif,
freshman, took the pole vault,
soaring 15-7$\frac{1}{4}$, and Gary Barr,
Los Angeles, Calif, junior, hurled
the shot-put 55-7$\frac{1}{8}$ to win this
event.
KU had successes in two more field and two more track events.
The 880-yard run was won by Ken Holm, Prairie Village senior, in 1:55.2, and the 60-yard dash saw Bob Hanson, Wichita senior, break the tape first in 6.4 seconds.
KU won nine of the 14 events, but there was no team presentation as coaches of the six competing colleges had voted not to keep team scores.

The first car at the bottom of the world.
The Australian National Research Expedition really had no choice.
They wanted a car that "any member of the party could hop into and drive off without a moment's hesitation."
The big trick is the VW's air-cooled rear engine. It has no radiator. It uses no water or antifreeze. It just ages.
(Antarctica #1 stood for days in $ 40^{\circ} $ below zero weather and started without a tremble.)
And the Volkswagen just happens to fill the bill.
The rear engine gave the VW so
much extra traction it climbed "straight up and down the slopes." (But they cheated a little; sometimes they put chains on the back wheels.)
Another reason the VW went where even the dogs wouldn't is the sealed bottom. It took an awful beating, but that's what it's there for: To protect the works inside against the weather outside.
The conditions got so fierce that one man said, "Now we know what it'll be like when Hell freezes over."
So if it ever does, you know what car to buy.
