Yergie anticipates injury-free season
By DON STEFFENS
He has been shrouded by the seemingly omnipresent shadow cast by Jim Ryun during most of his running career.
He was obscured by Ryun again at the Big Eight Indoor track meet this year, but Jayhawk senior Tom Yergovich didn't seem to mind it much, even though he reached the high point of his injury-riddled career at that meet.
YERGOVICH OUT-RACED and surprised most in the 1000-yard run final as he burst to the lead with the race only half over.
"We thought he took the lead a bit too early," coach Bob Timmons related.
But Yegrovich, the 1966 cross country captain, held off a closing surge by favored Conrad Nightingale of K-State with 2:12.5, one of the conference's better times.

"KU takes a lot of pride in the relay events," Yergovich said. "With Ryn in there we should do real well."

savors that victory, he excitedly anticipates the spring outdoor season, and the big relay meets—Texas, Kansas and Drake.
This injury-free season plus the Big Eight success may provide the Kansas Citian with his most productive year for KU.
"INJURIES HAVE SORT of been the story of my life until this year." Yergovich explains. "But I'm in the best shape of my life and the 1000 opened a new event for me to compete in, the 880."
"Ive never run it before in my life." he said.
He will undoubtedly have several chances to run the distance in relays this spring.
Yergovich has also been quite a competitor in other facets of campus life—he's senior class vice-president. He is majoring in math and chemistry. On January 28 he married the former Dianne Morris of Leavenworth.
"TOM HAS BEEN WILLING to compete in different events this year," Timmons points out, "and he's been a fine asset to the team."
BOYS MAKE SHORT GETAWAY
GIRVAN, Scotland —(UPI)— Two thieves broke the window of a small shop here with a brick, ransacked the place, emptied the cash register—and made a clean getaway. Trouble is they didn't get away far enough. Two small boys, aged 3 and 4, admitted their guilt when a policeman came upon them counting their loot just down the street from the burgled store.
