Record set in vault
JAYHAWK FLYER
KU pole vaulter Bob Steinhoff soars over the bar at 15 feet on his way to a new variety indoor record of 16-14.
Bob Steinhoff's 16-11/4 pole vault highlighted a triangular track meet Thursday night in Allen Field House won by Kansas, 93 points, over Colorado, 45, and Oklahoma State, 24.
The Jayhawk vaulter cleared the height on his first jump to establish a new KU varsity indoor record. He is now second on the list of best all-time Big Eight indoor vaulters behind only Chuck Rodgers of Colorado, who finished second in the meet at 15-6.
Steinhoff narrowly missed making 16-4 $ _{1/2} $ which would have established a new conference indoor standard. The current record was set by Rodgers last Saturday at 16-4 $ _{1/2} $ .
KU's middle distance ace Jim Ryun established a new Field House record in winning the 1000-yard run in 2:10.7. The time bettered the old mark of 2:11.6 set by Jayhawk distance man John Lawson in 1966.
O-State's Steve Gerkin led the first two laps of the race before Ryun broke into the lead to stay. The Jayhawks swept the first three places in the event as Gene McClain (2:12.0) and Roger Kathol (2:12.3) followed Ryun through the tape.
KU swept all four scoring places in the 60-yard dash. Julio Meade and Stan Whitley tied for first with times of 6.2. Ben Olison took third also at 6.2 and John Jackson was fourth at 6.3.
Meade also won the 440-yard dash (50.6) and ran a leg on the Jayhawks' winning mile relay team.
George Byers, KU's speedy hurdler, was the only clearcut double winner as he won both hurdle events with near record times. He won the 60-yard lows, an event in which he has the world's fastest time, in 6.7 and the 60-yard highs in 7.3. Teammate Dave Stevens was second in both events.
Overall Kansas grabbed 11 first places in the 15 event meet. Colorado took three and OSU only one.
The Jayhawks showed strength in every event and appear well on the road toward a Big Eight indoor championship in Kansas City, March 1 and 2.

At the same time it was disclosed that Kansas would begin an annual four-team December tournament in 1969 to be named the Jayhawk Classic. The Classic will be staged on Friday and Saturday nights the third weekend of December.
Houston, North Carolina State and St. Joseph's of Philadelphia have accepted bids for 1970 and Brigham Young, Southern California and Cincinnati join the Jayhawks in the 1971 tournament.
Kansas basketball coach Ted Owens, who has been lining up teams for the Classic since the schools mutually agreed to drop the doubleheaders several weeks ago, has the fields set for the first three tournaments.
The Sunflower Doubleheader, the annual mid-December basketball show featuring Kansas and Kansas State quintets the past 11 years, will be discontinued following next season's games, it was announced today by athletic directors Wade Stinson of KU and H. B. "Bebe" Lee of Kansas State.
Visiting teams for the opening Classic December 19-20, 1969, will be Western Kentucky, Southern Methodist and Texas at El Paso (formerly Texas Western). The Kentuckians will be coming in the year 7-foot Jim McDaniel is a junior.
Next winter's final Sunflower Doubleheader will match the state teams against Creighton and Syracuse with the opening games at Manhattan December 13 and the farewell staging at Lawrence December 14.
"The Sunflower Doubleheader served a worthwhile purpose in focusing attention on the Kansas teams." Owens said, "but it has become more and more of a scheduling problem to bring in

"As an example," he explained, "if we bring in two quality teams for the doubleheader, we must agree to return games with both schools. So to get the one game at home we play one in Manhattan and two on the road."
