Records fall in frosh-juco action
Three records fell as the freshman-junior college division of the 43rd KU Relays got off to a good start Thursday afternoon with finals in seven events.
Mel Gray of Fort Scott Junior College broke the previous long jump record by nearly six inches with a 24-3 leap. The old mark was $23-9\frac{1}{4}$ set by Stan Whitley last year for Hancock Junior College. Whitley is now a varsity jumper for Kansas. Second place went to KU freshman John Wilson who also bettered the existing record with a $23-9\frac{1}{2}$ effort.
In the shot put, KU freshmen took the first three places. Karl Salb broke the previous record by more than five feet with a 59-9 peg. Steve Wilhelm was second at 56·81⁻² and Bill Penny was third at 49·73⁻². Salb will throw again
at 1:30 p.m. Saturday against world record-holder Randy Matson in the open shot put.
Roger Collins, Kansas State freshman, set a meet standard for the javelin with a throw of 225-1. He broke the old mark of 217-10% set by KU's Ron Shelley in 1966.

Kansas won one of three relays run Thursday. The Jayhawk frog distance medley relay team of Thorn Bigley, Jim Neihouse, Dennis Petterson and Mike Solomon won their event with a 10:07.2
The other two relay titles, the 440- and 880-yard relays, went to the Prairie View A and M freshman team. They won the 440 in 42.4 and the 880 in 1:26.7.
The Jayhawks, victimized by shabby fielding all season, completely revamped the infield last weekend and coach Floyd Temple will send the same unit against the Buffaloes in Friday's double-header. The teams play a single game Saturday.
David McLeland, Fort Hays State freshman, won the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a 9:29.6 clocking. This is the first year the event has been run so the time will stand as a record.
Southpaw Richard Slicker, a starter last season who had been unable to find the range until his last two outings, has been added to the starting rotation. Slicker hurled a five-hit shutout last weekend in the final game of the Nebraska series. Righthanders Bill Maddux and Randy Stroup will start the other games as the Jayhawks seek to better their 2-4 conference standing.
Kansas' baseball team will bank on continued support from a reshuffled infield and the return to top form of a veteran pitcher in this weekend's three-game series with Colorado at Boulder.

WAS KEATS THE BOB DYLAN OF HIS DAY?
Who was the greatest of the English Romantic Poets—Byron, Shelley or Keats? This question has given rise to many lively campus discussions and not a few stabbings. Let us today try to find an answer.
First, Keats (or The Louisville Slugger, as he is commonly called.) Keats' talent bloomed early. While still a schoolboy at St. Swithin's he wrote his epic lines:
If I am good I get an apple.
So I don't whistle in the chapel.
From this distinguished beginning he went on to write another 40 million poems, an achievement all the more remarkable when you consider that he was only five feet tall! I mention this fact only to show that physical problems never keep the true artist from creating. Byron, for example, was lame. Shelley suffered from prickly heat all winter long. Nonetheless, these three titans of literature never stopped writing poetry for one day.
Nor did they neglect their personal lives. Byron, a devil with the ladies, was expelled from Oxford for dipping Nell Gwynne's pigtails in an inkwell. (This later became known as Guy Fawkes Day.) He left England to fight in the Greek war of independence. He fought bravely and well, but women were never far from his mind, as evidenced by these immortal lines:
How splendid it is to fight for the Greek.
But I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek.
While Byron fought in Greece, Shelley stayed in England, where he became razor sharpener to the Duke of Gloucester. Shelley was happy in his work, as we know from his classic poem, *Hail to thee*, blithe strop, but no matter how he tried he was never able to get a proper edge on the Duke's razor, and he was soon banished to Coventry. (This later became known as The Industrial Revolution.)
One wonders how Shelley's life—and the course of English poetry—would have differed if Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades had been invented 200 years earlier. For Personna is a blade that needs no stropping, honing or whetting. It's sharp when you get it, and sharp it stays through shave after luxury shave. Here truly is a blade fit for a Duke or a freshman. Moreover, this Personna, this jewel of the blade-maker's art, this boon to the cheek and bounty to the dewlap, comes to you both in double-edge style and Injector style. Get some now during "Be Kind to Your Kisser Week."
But I digress. Byron, I say, was in Greece and Shelley in England. Meanwhile Keats went to Rome to try to grow. Who does not remember his wistful lyric:
Although I am only five feet high,
Some day I will look in an elephant's eye.
But Keats did not grow. His friends, Shelley and Byron, touched to the heart, rushed to Rome to stretch him. This too failed. Then Byron, ever the ladies man, took up with Lucrezia Borgia, Catherine of Aragon, and Annie Oakley. Shelley, a more domestic type, stayed home with his wife Mary and wrote his famous poem:
I love to stay home with the missus and write.
And hug her and kiss her and give her a bite.
Mary Shelley finally got so tired of being bitten that she went into another room and wrote Frankenstein. Upon reading the manuscript, Shelley and Byron got so scared they immediately booked passage home to England. Keats tried to go too, but he was so small that the clerk at the steamship office couldn't see him over the top of the counter. So Keats remained in Rome and died of shortness.
Byron and Shelley cried a lot and then together composed this immortal epitaph:
Good old Keats,he might have been short.
But he was a great American and a heck of a good sport.

Truth, not poetry, is the concern of Personna, and tell you truly that you'll not find a better shaving combination than Personna and Burma-Shave, regular or menthol.
