By DON STEFFENS
Assistant Sports Editor
KANSAS TRACK co-captain and recent Big Eight long jump champion Gary Ard returns to his home town of Modesto, Calif. Saturday night to compete in the world-famous California Relays.
The meet is being dedicated to world record long jumper Ralph Boston, who'll headline a stand-out field in his speciality.
The two will dual on the same runway which Boston recorded his 27-5 world record three years ago and Ard leaped from during
two years at Modesto Junior College.
THE MEET IS only the beginning of a series of national meets KU will compete in during the summer months.
On Saturday afternoon, six athletes from the KU track team and Jayhawk track club will compete in the Missouri Valley AAU meet in Ottawa.
Entered in the sprints will be Lee Adams (100, high hurdles and intermediate hurdles), and Julio Meade (100, 220, and 440). Running distance races will be Paul Mattingly (mile, two-mile),
Mark Ferrell (880) and Bill Dotson (mile). The lone field event man will be Dave Stevens in the triple jump.
NEXT FRIDAY, JIMRYUN will return to the Los Angeles Coliseum for the Compton Invitational where he has achieved many of his top mile performances.
HE MAY POSSIBLY be joined there by Ard, pole vaulter Bob Steinhoff and spinner Ben Olison.
Goodwill ambassadors
Two KU athletes to tour Kansas
BOBBY DOUGLASS, junior quarterback from El Dorado and Bruce Peterson, senior tackle from Prairie Village, have been selected as KU varsity football ambassadors for this summer.
The pair will travel around Kansas speaking to civic clubs and KU alumni groups about 1967 football prospects. They will also show film highlights of the 1966 games.
FLOYD TEMPLE, KU baseball coach and football assistant, will arrange the tour and appearance dates for Douglass and Peterson.
This will be the eighth year KU has sent football players out as goodwill ambassadors. The tour will begin the second week of June and continue into the middle of August.
Temple invites groups to contact at Allen Field House, if they are interested in arranging for a summer meeting with one of the football players.
They will be joined one week later in Albuquerque, N.M., by more Jayhawks as KU seeks to retain its year-old National USTFF (US Track & Field Federation) crown.
DOUGLASS, A 206-POUND southpaw, rolled up 292 total offense yards in the annual spring intra-squad game. Bill Fenton and Bob Skehan, two of the quarterbacks from last year, will graduate this spring, leaving Douglass slated to be KU's No.1 quarterback this fall.
Douglass hit 15 of 29 passes for 235 yards and earned 57 yards rushing on 40 carries.
PETERSON WAS SHIFTED from defensive end to tackle in spring drills this year. He played defensive end the past two years.
Peterson, a chemical engineering major, has been named to the Big Eight All-Academic team the past years while compiling a 2.6 grade average on a three-point system.
Last year's ambassadors were Bobby Skahan and Hally Kampschroeder.

Congratulations Grads!
Don't laugh at Charles Van der Hoff's big ears. He can hear a party a mile away, thanks to Sprite.
Social-life majors, take a look at Charles Van der Hoff. He can't play the guitar. Never directed an underground
movie. And then look at his ears! A bit much? Yes! But--Charles Van der Hoff can hear a bottle of tart, tingling Sprite being opened in the girls' dormitory from across the campus!
of Sprite being uncapped--the roars--the fizzes--the bubbles--he runs! So before
What does it matter, you say?
Hah! Do you realize that Charles Van der Hoff has never missed a party in four years?
When he hears those bottles
can say anti-existentialism, he's getting in on that tart, tingling, slightly tickling taste of Sprite. And delicious refreshment --as well as a good time--is his.
Of course, you don't have to have ears as big as Charles Van der Hoff's to enjoy the swinging
taste of Sprite. You may just have to resign yourself to a little less social life.
SRITE, SO TART AND TINGLING. WE JUST COULDN'T KEEP IT QUET.
