Sooners Capture Title KU Falls to Fourth
Anthony Watson, a 6-4/14, 202 pound sprinter-broad jumper in his first season of Big Eight competition, became the first person to win three events at a league meet in 28 years as he lead the Oklahoma Sooners to their second league outdoor championship here Friday and Saturday.
Watson scored wins in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the broad jump and anchored the winning 440-yard-relay team as he won the Henry Schulte award as the meet's outstanding performer. KU's Glenn Cunningham was the last person to win three events, in 1934, when he captured the 880-yard run, the one-mile and the two-mile runs.
OKLAHOMA WHICH was to battle for the league crown with Nebraska along with hopefuls Kansas, Colorado and Missouri commanded a respectable lead by the end of the meet. The Sooners scored 101 points while Nebraska was second with 85 followed by Colorado 77 1/12, Kansas 75 5/12, Oklahoma State 57, Missouri $45 \frac{1}{2}$, Kansas State 35 1/6 and Iowa State 22.
A sparse crowd of 2.500 had early indication of what was to come when the Sooners won the first event, the 440-yard relay, and set a new league record of 40.7 to take an early lead.
In the second events results to be announced, the shot put, the Sooners' Dick Inman upset Missouri's heavily-favored Don Smith, who won the Texas-Kansas-Drake Relay crowns. At the end of three events
the Sooners commanded a 21-18 lead over Colorado with Nebraska standing sixth with eight points.
THE SOONERS continued domination of the scoring until midway

during the meet when Nebraska captured the top three places in the meet under the 10-8-6-4-2-1 scoring system.
The Kansas Jayhawkers who dominated the league from 1952 through 1960 were able to place but one man in a first place spot, and that was Jack Stevens who tied for first place in the pole vault with Oklahoma State's Preston Holsinger. Both vaulted 14-6 3/4.
The fourth place finish was KU's lowest since 1949.
THE JAYHAWKERS went into the meet at half-strength with two-miler Charlie Hayward, and hurdlers Charlie Smith and Dan Lee unable to compete. Sprinter Larry McCue competed with a pulled hamstring muscle.
Senior captain Bill Dotson was the Jayhawkers' top performer winning second in both the mile and the two-mile. Dotson, who won the mile last year at Boulder, lost to Nebraska's Mike Fleming, who outsprinted him the last 60 vards to win.
Dotson sacrificed any personal glory he might have had for the team as he doubled in the two distance events. In the two mile he fell 60 yards behind OSU's Danny Metcalf who was 30 yards behind Colorado's front-running Bob Griffith.
DOTSON SPRINTED the last lap and overcame Metcalf's lead to pick up his second finish of the day. Fleming dropped out of the two-mile early in the race.
University Daily Kansan SPORTS OSU Wins Tennis Title,KU Gets Third
COACH DENZEL GIBBENS' Jayhawks, runner-up behind the Cowboys in the conference battle for the past two years, finished third with seven points.
For at least two reasons, it appeared that Oklahoma State would not be able to repeat as the Big Eight tennis champions this year.
Twice in the season KU beat Oklahoma State in dual competition, and, Colorado, the team most likely to de-throne the Cowpokes, had also defeated the defending league champion.
BUT NEITHER reason materialized.
In the early part of the dual season, KU beat O-State in a dual. 5-2 At Stillwater, and out-scored the
Oklahoma State retained its status as the perennial league tennis champion by easily capturing the title in the league meet held here Friday and Saturday. The Cowboys won every crown for a 21-point total.
Colorado, which had three days before downed KU in a dual meet here, 5-2, and had earlier in the season beaten the Cowboys by the same margin in a dual, placed second in the meet with nine points.
Cowboys, 6-3, in a quadrangular meet in Kansas City.
The Jayhawkers previous successes had little bearing on the loop meet, though.
THREE JAYHAWKERS WERE Oklahoma State final-round victims; Mel Karrle, Del Campbell and Ken Peterson.
The Cowboys' Bob Folz beat Karrie, 6-4, 6-2, for the number one singles crown. Karrie beat Pat Finney, Kansas State, 6-3, 7-5, and Nebraska's Dick Gibson, 6-2, 6-2, in Friday's opening and semifinal rounds.
George Folz stopped Del Campbell's bid for the number three singles championship with a 6-2, 6-2 victory. Before losing to Folz, Campbell beat Don Fassnacht, Kansas State, 6-1, 5-7, 7-5, and Jim Fowler, Nebraska, 6-0, 7-5.
STATE'S NEAL SEIDLE beat Peterson, 6-1, 6-3. Peterson had earlier downed Larry Wickham, Kansas State, 6-2, 6-1, and Dick Woods, Nebraska, 7-5, 6-0 in number five singles action.
Seidle gained a spot on State's team after the season started after competing in the intramural tennis program there.
Baseball Team Places Third
The Kansas Jayhawkers finished their most successful season since 1956 as they swept a three-game series with the Oklahoma Sooners to place third in the Big Eight conference.
The Jayhawkers' 13 victories is just one shy of the all-time team record for games won in a season. The team won 14 in 1949, when present coach Floyd Temple was starring at third base, and again in 1956 and 1958 after Temple had taken over the head coaching job.
Hanna Low For Kansas
The Hawkers, who finished in the Big Eight cellar last season were edged out of second place by the
Oklahoma State University successfully defended its Big Eight golf championship for the fourth straight year with a record breaking 844 strokes at the University of Missouri course.
The Cowboys' team total of 844 cut 21 strokes off the old conference mark of 865 set last year at OSU. Oklahoma State won the tournament in 1960 and 1959 with a total of 879 and 899 respectively.
KU's team score of 873 was good enough for third place behind the University of Oklahoma with 868. Last year KU won fourth in the Big Eight with a team total of 944 strokes. In 1960, KU won second in the conference with a total of 927.
The meet was played over 54 holes with par being 210. Each player played 36 holes Friday and finished with 18 on Saturday. Medalist for the match was Oklahoma State's Richard Cannen. He carded a 65-68-67—200, chopping 10 strokes off par. Cannen's teammate, Terry Wilcox, shot a three under par—207. John Hanna of KU placed third, shooting a 211.
KU scores: Hanna 71-67-73—211,
Keisewater 73-73-71—217, he placed

Keith Abercrombie drove in four runs in the first game of Friday's double header to lead the Jayhawks to a 10-6 victory. Abercrombie, last year's leading Jayhawk hitter who has been in a batting slump this year, hit a three-run homer in a big Kansas sixth inning and added another r.b.i. with a sacrifice fly to break his slump.
The Jayhawkers pitchers were helped by the KU infield who turned in four double plays. The KU baserunners were active also as they stole four bases on the Sooners. Slick fielding shortstop Don Miller stole two with Hugh Bumgardner, who went two for three, in hitting and Jim Marshall each stealing one.
Righthander Jerry Waldschmidt, who pitched the final two innings for the Jayhawks, was the winner. The stocky righthander who last week showed signs of regaining his early season form after being unimpressive during the middle of the campaign, was called from the bullpen after the Sooners had hit two KU lefthanders, Roger Brock and Steve Lunsford, for six runs in the first four innings. Monte Stewart pitched the fifth and held the Sooners hitless.
Hard throwing Carl Nelson pitched a one-hit shutout in the nightcap of the double header as the Jayhawks

trounced the Sooners 12-0. The slender righthander struck out six in registering his first decision of the season.
Fanning was again the hitting star for the Jayhawkers as he unloaded a two-run homer in the first inning to give the KU team a lead it never relinquished.
The Jayhawks exploded for six runs in the second inning, and went on to score one in the third, three in the fourth, two in the fifth before being held scoreless in their last chance, the sixth. Oklahoma's Buddy Joyroe allowed 12 hits as he went all the way in suffering his sixth loss against four victories.
Hard-hitting first baseman Dick Fanning was the offensive leader for the Hawks as he knocked in five runs including a home run and a double. Jim Marshall poked a triple to account for the other hits to go three for four in the game. Don Miller and pitcher Nelson contributed a pair of hits a piece as all but two of the Jayhawkers who played hit safely.
In the final game Saturday morning, Jerry Waldschmidt showed his old-time form as he struck out 11 in an eight-inning relief stint to defeat the Sooners 7-4. Waldschmidt relieved Roger Brock, who failed to go more than two innings in two starts this weekend.
The KU infield again shone as it turned two more double plays to make it six in the 14 innings that were played Friday.
