CU's Dick Clark Leads Big Eight Javelin Corps
Until he developed a sore elbow a couple of weeks ago, Colorado javelin-thrower, Dick Clark, was the most solid choice among eight defending champions who will seek repeat laurels here Friday and Saturday in the 34th Big Eight track and field carnival.
CLARK IS THE fifth-ranking threer in conference annuals, having reached 225-9 last year to place second in the Kansas Relays. Only three Jayhawkers, Bill Alley, Terry Becher, and Les Bitner, plus Nebraska's Al Roots, rank above him on the all-time list.
He opened the season with throws of 222-6 and 225-9, two best marks in the league to date. But he could not score in the Kansas Relays, and fell to second in the Colorado Games the following week on 214-0. Last Saturday at Nebraska he dropped another notch to 211-5.
Now, Clark faces a struggle to retain the crown he won at Boulder last year on 228- $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ . Not only is he handicapped by arm miseries, which attack most javelin heavers, but his chief competitor, KU's Pete Talbott, is moving up.
The Jayhawkier junior beat Clark at Kansas with a fourth-place 219-5½. He could get only 207-3 at Drake, but that was good for third as all hands experienced trouble on a slippery range. At Southern Illinois he wrote a new personal crest of 222-2.
ONLY OTHER 200-footer in the league, going into this weekend's showdown is Kansas State's John Brisbin. He hit a personal high of 219-9½ for third in the Southwestern Relays last month. Since then he's hit 212-4 in winning against Missouri and 204-3 for fourth at Drake.
In the 190-foot class are Dick Ebiling, Missouri (196-5); Jim Brink, Kansas State (193-1); Dave Wheaton, Colorado (193-4); and Stan Ingram, Kansas (192-1).
THE LATTER MAY not be able to compete at all, after dislocating two neck vertebrae in a tumbling class last week. He did not throw at Oklahoma Saturday.
His presence might enable the Jayhawkers to land a double lick in this event against their two foremost rivals for the team title, Nebraska and defending champion Oklahoma. Neither of those clubs figures to score a point in this event.
Only Roots, runner-up last year,
is missing from the 1961 field.
College Athletes Suspended by AAU
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — (UPI) Amateur Athletic Union officials in several states today were reluctant to follow the lead of the Indiana AAU which has suspended 11 college track athletes for competing in the Ohio State University Relays.
The AAU yesterday suspended the athletes from Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame and Butler who placed in the April 21 relays, which were not sanctioned by the AAU.
Suspended were Cornelius Miller and Steve Hibler, Indiana; Nate
Adams, Purdue; Frank Carver, John Mulrooney and Pete Whitehouse, Notre Dame; Jack Krebs, Butler; Dave Edelman, (who has completed his eligibility at Purdue), and three Purdue freshmen, James Moore, Dan Jones and Al Washington.
The suspensions were considered a direct blow by the national AAU against the college coaches, who seek to gain control of competition in track, basketball and gymnastics.
Powell Moorehead, executive secretary of the Indiana AAU, said the
suspensions were made on orders from the national AAU.
But other states turned their backs on the orders or delayed action.
Charles Fischer, chairman of the Kentucky AAU, said Indiana's suspension of Moore "actually is not effective" since Moore is registered with the Kentucky AAU.
