A 6-10 junior college basketball star, Dave Nash of Dallas Baptist, has signed a national letter of intent with Kansas, Jayhawk cage coach Ted Owens announced Wednesday.
JuCo star to go here
Nash has completed two years of junior college study and will be eligible next season to help Kansas shoot for a third straight Big Eight championship.
In two seasons at Dallas Baptist Nash scored 1,067 points, pulled down 853 rebounds and blocked 206 shots while leading his mates to 46 victories against only 14 defeats.
The 240-pound Nash is from St. Louis, but did not play high school basketball.
from one of the dashes, but no decision had been made late Thursday.
Nash averaged 16 points a game as a freshman and 19.6 as a sophomore. He shot over 50 percent from the field both years.
Dallas Baptist had a 25-5 record Nash's freshman year and finished 21-9 the past season.
Ryun, after winning the 880 and the mile at the USTFF meet, went back to Alamosa, Colo., for additional high altitude training in preparation of Utah.
All four of the Jayhawkers broke KU records at Albuquerque. Ryun ran the half in 1:47.2, the best ever run by a KU varsity thinclad, although it failed to surpass his 1:44.9 mark set as a KU freshman. This was run a year ago at the USTFF meet.
Although he came in fourth, Ard broke a nine-year school record with a triple jump of 50" 63/4" by an inch and a half.
Olison's second place 20.8 in the 220 wiped out a 12-year-old Jayhawk mark of 21.1.
Byers at least tied the school mark. As he crossed second his time was announced as 13.7. Later the summaries listed him at 13.8, which is the present KU mark. Timmons is hopeful of getting the time officially certified at 13.7 which would be the fastest 120-yard hurdle by a Big Eight runner.
Kansas' fastest schoolboy miler of 1967, Jim Neihouse of Salina Sacred Heart, has signed a national letter of intent with KU, Jayhawk track coach Bob Timmons said recently.
During the past school year Neihouse won five Class A state championships at distances ranging from 440 yards to two miles. He won the cross-country crown at two miles last fall, bagged the indoor 440 and 880 titles in 50.9 and 1:56.3, and slammed the outdoor 880 and mile with record clockings of 1:55.1 and 4:13.7.
At the Meet of Champions in Wichita Neihouse won the mile with a career best of 4.13.0, fastest any Kansas prep has run the distance the past two years, since the prep days of Jim Ryun.
The NCAA meet began Thursday and will end Saturday night. Following this will be the National Amateur Athletics Union meet at Bakersfield, Calif., on June 22 and 23.
Last week in the Midstates Federation championships at Cozad, Neb., Neihouse won the junior mile against the fastest prep milers of Nebraska and Iowa, including Doug Smith, celebrated Sioux City, Iowa, junior who has run 4:12. Neihouse's winning time on a water-logged track was 4:18.8.
In the Wichita race Neihouse outkicked the state Class AA mile king, Bob Barratti, Wichita North junior. Barratti had defeated Neihouse in both the mile and two-mile at the Kansas Relays, handing the Sacred Heart boy his only mile loss of the season.
Neihouse's coach is Tom Rupp, Jayhawk distance runner of the mid-1950's. Rupp coaches Sacred Heart's cross-country team and assists track coach Bernard Schroeder with the distance runners.
