KU smashes OU in track duel
A spirited come-from-behind effort in the final event and a pressure-filled high jump competition ended in a win apiece as Kansas whipped Oklahoma in a track duel last night, 80-42.
The ON four-man mile relay, capable of 3:18, pulled to a 10-yard margin after a KU lead-off man was jostled on the second curve and handed off at 53.1. Steve Ashurst regained a few yards as he churned a 49.2.
Then fellow senior Dwight Peck took over the stick-carrying chore and presented anchorman Ben Olison a stride margin. Peck returned a 49.0 and Olison a 48.8, both seasonal lows.
BUT OU'S FOURTH runner, Bill Calhoun, came through with a speedy 48.5 and a well-timed lunge at the tape. The final official winner was undecided for several minutes, and some wondered whether a photo would be necessary.
Then a turn judge ruled Bornkessel was the offender when jostled, thus disqualifying the Jayhawks, and giving OU a 3:20.1 victory.
Cool-and-collected Ken Gaines may hold a whammy over OU's seven-foot jumper, Ron Tull, as he handed the Sooner his second defeat in as many meetings.
Gaines passed to 6'4" and Tull to 6'6", both clearing those heights on first attempts. Both missed once at 6'8", but matched each other on their second try.
GAINES ROLLEED smoothly over "6'10" on try number one, while Tull needed two. The jump not only won the meet and set a KU-OU record, but also raised his indoor best by $ \frac{3}{4}" $ and came within a half inch of his all-time best.
"Everything was clickin' to-night," Gaines said. "I really felt good on that 6'10" jump."
He was "clickin'” in the long jump also where he leaped 245"
only a quarter of an inch behind winner Gary Ard. Though troubled by fouls, Ard placed three fair attempts within 1¼" of each other: 24'5½", 24'4", F, F, 24'4½".
The Jayhawk hurdle corps nearly swept the 60-yard high and low hurdle events. Soph George Byers again tied the American record or lows with a 67, and Lee Adams was second, one tenth slower.
In the highs, Byers and Adams reversed position, with Adams clocking 7.3 to set a meet record. Dave Stevens completed the KU whitewash with a third.
OUTSTANDING doubles were turned in by senior Tom Yergovich and Gene McClain as they exchanged the lead every lap during the mile. "Yergic" outsprinted McClain in the final 100 yards for a 4:14.8 to 4:15.5 win.
Yergovich repeated in the 1000-yard run with a quick 2.12.2 and McClain timed a 2.15.9.
KU won all but five events as Jim Ryu won the 880 (1:56.2);
Gary Tucker, the shot put (52"4");
and Mike Kearns, the two-mile (9:31.0).

NCAA ticket sales snowballing
According to Nick Roach, in charge of ticket sales for the NCAA regional basketball tournament, tickets will be mailed out about ten days before the tournament starts.
Tickets may be ordered in advance by mailing ticket requests to the Ticket Office, Allen Field House. Roach said that the ticket orders have increased greatly during the past week. The number of orders is approximate, but he said that maybe a little less than half of the seats have been sold.
CHICAGO — (UPI) — Beattie Feathers of the Chicago Bears averaged more than 10 yards a carry when he gained 1,004 yards during the 1934 National Football League season.
