Fans miss Ryun at K-State Relays
By DON STEFFENS
The moaning and groaning at Kansas State's Relays in Manhattan Saturday should have been oohing and aahhing.
The Jayhawk contingent put on a speedy show and took up most of the spotlight, but someone was missing - Jim Ryun.
"I caught it from all sides," Coach Bob Timmons said, "but we need this two-week period to make the transition from indoor to outdoor running for the UCLA dual this weekend."
SO SPORTSWITER'S and officials were disgruntled with Ryun's absence, but failed to realize the caliber of competition present.
Three frosh relay foursomes from KU raced to as many victories with outstanding multiple performances by several of the athletes.

LAWRENCE —(UPI) — Guard JoJo White and forward Rodger Bohnenstief of Kansas were named today as members of a 15-man NCAA all-star team for the Pan American basketball trials.
each. Ferrell the sprint medley (3:27.9) and Meade the mile (3: 20.7).
IN THE MEET FINALE, Dean Pearce opened the mile relay with a 52.2 timing, Ferrell then circled two laps in 49.9, Californian Randy Julian carried the baton to a 49.5 and Meade closed with 49.0.
Meade had opened the sprint medley with a 49.7, followed by 220 carries by Clarence Haynes (22.5) and Julian (22.2) and finished by Ferrell's 1:53.2.
Probably the best event of the night had been the frush-juco distance medley relay where the Hawks posted one of the nation's best times: 9.55.2.
FARRELL STARTED off with a quick 1:52.1 and Julian raced a sizzling 48.3 440 leg, the fastest by any Jayhawk this season. Roger Kathol took the baton and posted a 3:01.6 for three-quarters and Paul Mattingly completed a double with 4:12.8 in the mile carry.
Mattingly had earlier placed fourth to Glenn Cunningham's 4:14.3 mile victory with a 4:16.7. Meade won the 300 in 30.8.
Other KU placent: pole vault-2. Mike Burdick 15-0; 5. Drew Hamilton, 14-6, 75HH—J. W. Johnson 9.3, 75LH—4. Haynes 7.8. Frosh Pole Vault—3. John Oliver 14-0. High Jump—2. Charles Falk.

KU's loss is big topic
Houston won the NCAA tournament here, but they didn't steal the spotlight. The failure of KU to jell against Houston was the big topic after the tournament. No one seems to know just what happened, but everyone knows who will be in Louisville next weekend—Houston.
Vernon Vanoy, KU center, said, "I think that our biggest trouble was poor shooting and rebounding. They just overpowered the boards." Houston snatched 34 rebounds to KU's 25. KU had more turnovers than Houston. 12 to 9.
Ron Franz said it was the worst game he had ever played for KU.
He said the Jayhawks just had a poor night. He also thought that in a contest with UCLA, Houston would either be ahead by four, or behind by four points.
Coach Ted Owens said the KU defense was good enough, but the offense was not up to par, and this was the deciding factor.
But KU came back the next night to beat No. 2 ranked Louisville 70-88.
KU returned to Allen Field House as a determined team. Jo Jo White took command of the game as his shooting dominated KU and his individual steals helped to overcome the Cardinals.
White led KU's attack with 22 points. KU had three other two-column scorers. Rodger Bohnen-stiehl had 13 points, Vernon Vanoy 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Phil Harmon, 13 points.
The win over Louisville was sparked in part by the argument whether the Missouri Valley Conference or the Big Eight is the superior. The players said they wanted to win for coach Owens and they wanted to end the season with a victory.
Spirits high-

"We went on a spring vacation last Friday, so that hurt the number of people we have here," said Mack Diltz, Dallas senior and bass drummer.
"We'RE REALLY GASSED about the pep squad (pom-pon girls) y'all have here. They're out of sight."

Lois Anne Cooper, Pine Bluff, Ark., junior, is one of the SMU cheerleaders.
"We really appreciated the hospitality of the KU students, band and cheerleaders. They really helped pull us through Friday night. I wish we could have won tonight."
ONLY 50-75 STUDENTS from Houston were able to come to the game.
"We have a TV station at home that is carrying the game and we're having midterms right now," explained Josye Brattis, Duncanville, Tex., senior, and one of the Houston cheerleaders. "It really hurt our crowd."
After the game, the court action was soon forgotten. "Hey, y'all, it's snowing."
"Gawd, look at it. It's real."
"WEVE GOT EVERYTHING but snow in Texas." Someone brought in a stadium horn full of snow. "Hey, y'all, let me have a bite. Hey, it's good."
