KU, Texas share "baton triumph" honors
Kansas, now tied with Texas for the most relay victories over the years on the Texas-Kansas-Drake circuit, will bid for outright leadership this week when the 1968 midlands cinder trail winds up with the 59th Drake Relays, Friday and Saturday, in Des Moines, Iowa.
With two baton triumphs at each of the first two stons this spring, the Jayhawks caught up with the Longhorns, Texas and KU both have won 109 relay races on the Texas-Kansas-Drake wheel to rank far ahead of the pack. Illinois is third at 79 and next come Oklahoma State and Oklahoma with 59 and 54 respectively.
Rounding out the top ten are Missouri with 42; Rice, 40; Indiana, 35; Iowa, 33; and Drake, 28.
Kansas' string of successes has been almost equally divided at the
Grid clinic is Saturday
More than 400 high school football coaches from Kansas and surrounding states are expected to attend the University of Kansas' second annual high school football clinic, Saturday.
John Hadl, former KU star and now quarterback of the San Diego Chargers, professional football team, will be among the lecturers.
KU's head football coach, Peper Rodgers and nine Jayhawk assistant coaches will lecture and give demonstrations during the day-long clinic.
At the conclusion of the clinic sessions at Allen Field House the prep coaches will observe a two-hour Kansas football practice, including a scrimmage. Rodgers will move Saturday's practice to Memorial Stadium.
Coaches arriving Friday evening will be guests at a reception at the Eldridge Hotel and a pizza dinner Saturday following the varsity scrimmage will wind up the clinic.
three meets. The Hawks have won 38 relay races at both Austin and Lawrence. They have claimed 33 at Drake, where only Illinois with 58 outranks them.
Adding additional thrust to Kansas' bid at Des Moines will be the presence in relay harness for the first time since last spring of Jim Ryun, world recordholder in the 880, mile and 1500 meters. Ryun, outstanding performer of the 1967 Drake Relays, made his outdoor debut last week with a Kansas Relays record of 3:42.8 in the 1500 meters.
Kansas coach Bob Timmons plans to use Ryun on three relay teams at Drake, but the only one he will definitely commit the 20-year-old junior to in advance of the coaches' scratch meeting Thursday night is the distance medley.
Timmons said Ryun will run with the distance medley team on Saturday and in two of the other three long relays—sprint medley, two-mile and four-mile. The two-mile and four-mile tests both are
Tennis team wins
The University of Kansas tennis team defeated Kansas State there, Tuesday. 4-3.
KU plays at Wichita State University, Wichita, Friday and at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Saturday.
Friday afternoon. The sprint medley qualifying trials is Friday morning and the finals are Saturday.
The Jayhawks' 880 relay team will shoot for a "triple crown" after twice lowering its school record with victories at Austin and Lawrence in times of 1:24.1 and 1:24.0. Ben Olison, Julio Meade, Jim Hatcher and John Jackson did the running at the KU meet.
In addition to the relays from the 440 through the four-mile, Kansas figures to contend strongly in the shuttle hurdles with the same foursome of George Byers, Lee Adams, Dave Stevens and Kenny Gaines that finished a tenth of a second back of Michigan State's record-setters (57.3) last year.
Byers, who ran 13.7 last season, has been ailing this spring with a thigh injury and did not compete in the Kansas Relays. He may compete at Drake.
Stevens won the KU Relays high hurdles in 13.9, his all-time best, and Adams clocked 14.2 in a preliminary. Gaines is capable of 14.5.
Doug Knop, Kansas discus thrower who claimed triumphs at both Texas and Kansas, is one of only two individuals with a chance for a "triple crown." Knop bagged the title at Austin with a peg of 176-1, then pushed his career peak to $181-11\frac{1}{2}$ last week-end to wipe out the meet mark
