Murphy named top athlete
Sportswriters and broadcasters reporting the 43rd annual KU Relays voted Air Force lieutenant Jim Murphy the outstanding performer of the meet it was announced Monday.
Murphy won the 10,000-meter run Thursday and then came back Saturday to nip Olympic gold medalist Billy Mills at the tape in the 5,000-meter run. It was an unprecedented double victory.

Don Anderson, Washington, D.C. graduate student, Steve Keeler, Kansas City junior, and Bruce Eden, Wichita Fencing Club, placed fourth, fifth and sixth in the tournament.
