Hurdlers to boost KU
By Don Steffens, Assistant Sports Editor
The major headline grabber for the Big Eight Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend in Kansas City will undoubtedly be Jim Ryun, recent 880 indoor world record breaker.
The exact events Ryun will compete in have not been released, and Coach Bob Timmons said they will not be made known until the last moment.
Regardless of Ryun's schedule, KU will depend greatly on two 60-yard hurdlers if it is to win its sixth team title in 10 years.
LEE ADAMS and George Byers, conference leaders in the high and low events, have traded wins throughout the year with Adams copping the last three races.
That included a 6.6 world indoor best in the lows.
"If anyone wants to win the highs from either of our boys," assistant coach John Mitchell said, "they're going to have to run at least 7.2."
"Adams has run 7.3 over the highs the last three times and Bvers has a 7.2." Mitchell said.
ADAMS DOES have the world mark in the lows but Byers has had the experience of two years of board running.
"Both of our boys should be aided by the boards since they are short and the boards will give them extra spring." Mitchell said.
said. The Jayhawkers' major competition in the highs should come from Nebraska's defending champ Ray Harvey, a native of Jamaica.
He has a 7.4 this year and will be trying to retain his 1966 low hurdle crown.
BESIDE HARVEY and Byers, Adams' biggest obstacle will be the time schedule in preliminary and semifinal heats. He will run the highs and 60-yard dash trials back-to-back with the semi-round following immediately.
In the space of two hours, Adams will sprint six races, hopefully qualifying in all, and Byers four. From there, both men would proceed to the finals on Saturday evening.
Then with 15 minute breaks in between, he must tackle the low hurdle heat and semi.
THE 60 WILL team Adams and fellow Bakersfield, Calif., JC transfer Ben Olison in what Olison laughingly calls his "favorite event."
"I'm hopeful we can break into the Nebraska and Oklahoma monopoly in the 60," coach Bob Timmons said.
"We're finally starting to show in the 60," he said.
We are finally starting to show how Olison, who says running the short event has helped him for outdoor competition in the 100 and 220, has a 6.2 to his credit which is only a fifth of a second behind the leaders.
NEBRASKA HAS the nation's number one short sprintman undefeated for two years indoors or out—in Charlie Green.
Though he's been injured most of the year Greene has clocked 6.0. He was the 1965 champ but pulled up lame in last year's title meet.
Backing up Greene will be Clif Forbes at 6.1 who with Greene sandwiches Oklahoma's twin speedsters Wayne and Glen Long. Wayne has sprinted 6.0 and Glen 6.1.
But often, previous times mean little in so short a race as a bad start or an ill-timed lunge at the tape could mean the difference between several places.
TACTICS ALSO play an important part in Olison's specialty, the 440.
He has competed but once on the boards and such tactics as running on curves and position going into the straights could pose a problem.
But, Olison has one of the conference's best times indoors (49.7) and only Bill Calhoun of OU has a better outdoor clocking.
KU sneaks past Bears in gym meet
