Hawks are favored in conference meet
Boasting two of the meet's four defending champions, Kansas will be gunning for its 14th Big Eight outdoor track championship in 17 years when the conference's 61st annual carnival is staged at Boulder this weekend.
The Jayhawks won the title at Norman a year ago with 112 points. Individual kings returning from that championship troupe are double winner Jim Ryun in the 880 and mile and George Byers in the high hurdles.
Only other 1967 champs still around are Colorado pole vaulter Chuck Rogers and Oklahoma intermediate hurdler James Hardwick.
Coach Bob Timmons' favored Kansas squad is missing only three men who scored a year ago, but one of the departed heroes, Gary Ard, racked up 18 points last year with a first in the long jump and second in the triple jump. The other graduated scorers were Tom Yergovich, fourth in the mile, and Mike Burdick, who tied for fourth in the pole vault.
To compensate for those losses Timmons can call on such newcomers as sprinters Julio Meade, John Jackson, Randy Julian and Jim Hatcher, discus thrower Doug Knop, jumper Stan Whitley and runners Mark Ferrell, Roger Kathol, Paul Mattingly and Glenn Cunningham for the 880 and longer distances.
Timmons has announced that Ryun will double in the 880. and mile, the same races he won a year ago in miserable weather at Norman with clockings of 1:49.1 and 4:08.5.
The world recordholder for the 880, mile and 1500 meters has not run an open mile in outdoor competition since last August at London when he whipped Kip Keino and others in 3:56 flat.
Ryun ran a 1:46.6 half-mile relay leg last Saturday night in cold, blustery weather at Fresno, Calif., to haul the Jayhawk two-mile team from fifth to second behind Villanova. Other Kansas "spilts" were: Kathol 1:54.0, Ferrell 1:53.0 and Gene McClaim 1:53.0.
The Kansas 880 relay team also finished second at Fresno as Jackson, Hatcher, Meade and Ben Olison ran 1:24.2, three-tenths over the school record they set earlier this year.

Owner appears at hearing concerning drugged horse
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—(UPI)—Dr. Alex Harthill and thoroughbred owner Doug Davis were the latest witnesses to be called Tuesday in the second day of the hearing concerning the disqualification of Kentucky Derby winner Dancer's Image.
Harthill, in whose barn Dancer's Image was stabled while at Churchill Downs, was named by the horse's trainer, Lou Cavalaris, as the man who helped him give the horse two tablets of phenylbutazone six days before the Derby.
Traces of phenylbutazone, a pain-killer, were found in Dan-
cer's Image's urine following the race, leading to the horse's disqualification.
Davis' horses were stabled right next to Barn 24, the barn which housed Dancer's Image.
Both Harthill and Davis were called to testify around 7 p.m. (EDT), an hour after the Churchill Downs stewards had dinner sent in and some 10 hours after the second day of hearings began.
Also on hand for Tuesday's hearing were Robert Barnard, the assistant trainer for Dancer's Image, and Russell Parchens, the horse's groom.
Keller heads KU five-man tourney team
Captain Jim Keller of Russell, the only senior on Kansas' tennis squad, heads a five-man Jayhawk team that winds up Big Eight competition with the conference tournament in Boulder Friday and Saturday.
Playing No. 5 singles, Keller has fashioned a 16-4 record this year, including a 6-1 reading against Big Eight rivals.
Jayhawk coach Jim Burns announced the rest of his singles lineup for the league tournament will include No. 1, John Towner (9-12); No. 2, Bill DeBaun (13-7); No. 3, Dan Oram (14-7), and No. 4, Sid Kanter (12-7). Towner and DeBaun are both from Leawood and Oram and Kanter from Prairie Village.
Burns said Kanter and Oram will play No. 1 doubles and Towner and Keller will team at No. 2.
Kansas has forged a 14-7 record this season and stands 5-2 against conference foes while losing only to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
Kansas goes into the Boulder climax in third place behind the two Oklahoma schools.
Golf squad goes to Big Eight meet
Bill Hess, Kansas City junior, who averaged 75.7 strokes per round during the regular season, will lead Kansas' five-man golf squad into the Big Eight tournament at Boulder Friday and Saturday.
Hess posted the best record of the Jayhawk linksmen this spring while winning 13 individual matches against six losses. He tied three others to help coach Wilbur Norton's KU squad to a winning record of 11-9-3.
Just last week Hess matched the Lawrence Country Club course record with a six-underpar 66. He shot the first nine in 34 and the back side in 32 to equal the course record established eight years ago by Bill Saylor, another Jayhawk golfer.
Norton said the rest of the squad will be composed of Mike Krone, Lawrence junior; Jack Clevenger, Salina senior; Charles Peffer, Wichita junior, and Dave Ross, Arkansas City sophomore.
Krone averaged 77.1 strokes per round this spring and fashioned a 10-10-3 record. Clevenger was 78.0 and 12-8-2, Peffer 78.3 and 9-11-1 and Ross 81.4 and 0-2-0.
The Big Eight tournament consists of 54 holes of medal golf, 36 on Friday and 18 Saturday. The team championship is determined on aggregate strokes with each team counting its four best scorers for each 18-hole round.
