ROPE 'EM COWGIRL!
A KU coed lassoes a bale of hay to win a free ticket to the rodeo this weekend.
KU's first rodeo is this weekend
KU will get its first rodeo this weekend. It will begin Friday and Saturday evening at eight o'clock and Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Tickets may be purchased in the Kansas Union, the information booth on Jayhawk Blvd. and at Fred Green's Western Wear. They are $1.25 for adults and $7.75 for children.
More than 150 contestants will be entered in seven events. Male contestants will enter in bareback bronc riding, calf roping, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, bull riding and ribbon roping.
The ladies will get a chance to participate in goat tying and barrel racing. Goat tying is similar to calf-roping except that the goat is tied to a post.
Frosh and juco finals are today
Today marks the opening of the 1967 Kansas Relays.
Events scheduled for today's opening session include the 10,000-meter run and finals in six freshman and junior college events. Tomorrow's Relay agenda will be divided into two sessions. Preliminaries in the field and running events will begin at 8:30 a.m. The afternoon card will include finals in the 5,000 meters, the 440-yard intermediate hurdles, the long jump, discus, university four-mile and sprint medley relays, and the college sprint medley.
Nearly 116 teams and 1,113 entries are expected to compete in the track festivities. The field will be divided into six separate divisions: university, college, freshman-junior college, high school, unattached, and women.
- SATURDAY'S FINAL sessions will begin at 9:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
One event has been changed, a new one has been added, and one has been dropped for this year's Relays.
THE INTERMEDIATE hurdles are being changed from 400 meters to 440 yards to conform with the National Collegiate distance.
The high school division will add a distance medley, giving the Kansas preps six relay events. The decathlon, which has been part of the Kansas Relays for 34 consecutive years, is being dropped this year. The event was first staged in 1928 and has been held since at every Relays except in 1942 and 1946.
All 13 of last year's university and college division relays' champions will be back again this year along with nine of the 14 individual champions. Five of the individual title holders own meet records.
KU meets Palmer
KU's rugby fooball team will play its most important match of the season when it meets Palmer College of Davenport, Iowa, at 11 a.m. Saturday on the rugby field behind Oliver Hall.
Palmer's ruggers are the best in the country. Jim Brandon, Rugby Club president, said, and their opponents use them as a yardstick to rate themselves.
"SIX OF THEIR players are from British Commonwealth countries." Brandon said, "and they are a big part of Palmer's undefeated and first-ranked team."
Palmer rolled over K.U. 25-0 last October at Davenport.
Kansas' only loss of the season
came in its season opener against St. Louis University. Since then both the "A" and "B" units have won six games.
Between 3,500 and 4,000 reserved seat tickets have been sold for the KU Relays, Nick Roach, ticket manager, said last night.
This is the first year reserved seats have been sold for the rellays. Ten thousand tickets, priced at three dollars each, have been printed for Saturday's events. Reserved seats are located on the west side of the stadium.
Ticket sales reach 3,500
"BEING REALISTIC," Roach said, "the sales are about what we expected." He pointed to the possibility of bad weather such as in last year's relays as a limiting factor in advanced sales.
