Marks fall in Federation meet
Fred Burton vaulted 16 feet 5 inches to win the pole vault, set a new Allen Field House record and steal the spotlight in the Kansas Federation track and field meet Thursday at the field house.
The record barrage began early in the afternoon when Jayhawk Ron Jessie jumping unattached sailed 25-4 in the long jump to tie the 10-year-old field house mark set in 1958 by KU's Ernie Selby.
Eurton formerly of Wichita State University broke the record he set at 16-3½ in the same meet last year. He defeated the Jayhawks Bob Steinhoff who was over 16 feet for the third consecutive week.
The field house standard also fell to the Kansas two-mile relay team of Carl Nicholson, Curt Grindal, Steve Rangel and Paul Mattingly. They ran 7:43.5 more than 10 seconds faster than the 7:54.2 record run by KU earlier this year.
This was one of several excellent performances that resulted in the setting of six meet records and tying of three others. Two of these broke and two tied field house marks.
In the 60-yard low hurdles, KU's George Byers once again tied his world indoor and field house record with a 6.6 clocking.
Byers also tied his meet record (7.2) in the 60-yard high hurdles but it was good for only second place as teammate Dave Stevens beat Byers to the tape in an identical time.
Ben Olison, Jayhawk sprinter, missed in his attempt to set a new field house mark in the 440. He ran 49.5 quick enough to set a new meet record but missing the field house standard by A.
Kansas' Roger Kathol raced to a new meet record in the 1,000 as
KU runners swept the first four places in the event. Kathol's 2:12:3 beittered the meet mark, set last year by KU's Tom Yergovich, by 2.
bettering the old standard by nearly five feet.
Mel Gray of Fert Scott Junior College ran the 60-yard dash in 6.1, tying the meet set last year by KU's Julio Mende.
Other Jayhawk winners in the 16-event meet were John Turck

and Ken Gaines who tied for first place in the high jump with leaps of 6-4. Julio Meade won the 600 in 1:12.9 and Gene McClain won the two-mile in 9:20.7.
KU's Mark Ferrell pulled up on the second leg of the mile relay with the Jayhawks in the lead. His right leg had tightened up on him and he didn't want to risk seriously injuring it only one week before the Big Eight indoor championships in Kansas City.
Kansas' world record miler Jim Ryun did not compete. He wanted to have two weeks of training without having to prepare for a meet.
High school star signs KU letter
Chuck Schmidt, block-buster fullback for the St. Joseph's Cadets of Hayes and generally regarded as the top high school football prospect in the Sunflower state, announced Thursday he'll enroll at KU next fall on an athletic scholarship.
The 6-foot, 195-pounder signed a Big Eight letter of intent Thursday evening at his farm home. Don Fambrough, KU assistant football coach, was on hand for the signing.
Schmidt scored 10 touchdowns and rushed for 842 yards on 110 carries in sparking coach LeRoy Brungardt's Cadets to a perfect 8-0 record and number four ranking among the state's class AA teams. He averaged 7.7 yards each time he carried the ball and seven of his touchdown runs were over 20 yards.
Athletes eat plenty
By Robert Burdick Kansan Staff Reporter
If you're eating at the athletic training table in Joseph R. Pearson Hall the answer is plenty.
A loaf of bread, a jug of wine,
three steaks, a quart of milk, a
can of beans—What are we having for dinner tonight?
For the 74 athletes and six coaches who eat at the training table, hunger is a long forgotten term.
"The players get the same food as the rest of the students but they get more of it," said Mrs. Laura Sample, dietitian for the hall.
At the table the food is goodnaturedly discussed by the football and basketball players, who eat there whether their sport is in season or not.
"One day it's hot dogs and beans, the next day it's beans and——" Tom Gaughan, Chicago freshman, said.
"Ma" Sample does a real fine job," one player said.
Generally all are happy with the food but there is one complaint. Every Saturday night players are served what is known as "mystery meat."
"I don't know what they sneak into that stuff," Grant Dahl, Winter Park, Florida junior, said.
Other players agreed that the contents of the "mystery meat" kept them all guessing.
"What is the worst thing you ever ate?" asked Mark Carmichael. Mulvane sophomore,
trying to describe it.
No guessing occurs every Tuesday night, however, when T-bone or sirloin steak is served to everyone.
"If you get there first and get a good one they are all right," John Weir, Glendale Heights, Ill. freshman, said.
"We get all the steak sauce we want," quipped Frank Wippel, Highland Park, Ill. freshman.
There is a definite improvement in the food during the season, Dahl said. They receive less food but the quality is better.
Joking aside, most players had nothing but praise for the food at the table.
"They need more variety in breakfasts," said George McGowan, a recent juco transfer from Glendale, Calif.
Usually the coaches are present at in-season training table meals, which serve to bring the team closer together, Weir said.
"It's really tren. endous. You get a certain amount but it's all you can eat," Gaughan said.
Breakfasts are less varied than other meals and one player wishes that the standard eggs and bacon could be changed.
This closeness is well illustrated even in the off season as the players eating at the training table exchange jibes.
"I don't know what we'd do without 'Ma' Sample," one called out from the back of the dining room.
