Tentative preparations should be made for a special student convocation to be held following the Big Eight track and field and tennis championships to be held here May 18-19.
It was weird two years ago when Kansas won the Big Eight football championship at Columbia, Mo. by defeating the Missouri Tigers 23-7 and then losing it several weeks later on the mezzanine floor of the Hotel Muehlebach.
WEIRD WOULD HARDLY be the word to describe KU's elevation to a share of the conference football title with Missouri six-and-a-half months after the close of league competition.
Colorado who won the title convincingly with a 7-0 record was hit with a two-year probation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association because of 17 violations of illegal recruitment.
COLORADO, HOWEVER, took initiative and weeded out its own organization. They fired a highly successful coach in Sonny Grandelius and installed an alumnus, Bud Davis.
This action could be considered somewhat of a respite since all rumors around the Big Eight tabbed the Buffaloes with four-year probation similar to that of Indiana's.
This perspective by Colorado was deemed admirable by the NCAA fathers so when it became time to mete out punishment laxity prevailed.
Now that the NCAA has made its ruling, it's time for the Big Eight conference to take a stand. Will they

The Big Eight conference was quite malicious toward Kansas in its ruling to strip the Jayhawkers of the Big Eight crown. There was much reaction because of the committee's decision and the committee would undoubtedly wish to avoid this again.

The committee does have an obligation to be consistent. It would not be fair to allow Colorado to remain conference champions after 17 violations while Kansas' title was lifted because of one man.
It appears only just that due to precedence Colorado be removed from its conference championship and Kansas and Missouri crowned.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — (UPI) — They call Mickey Wright the Arnold Palmer of women's golf — a title the blonde from San Diego, Calif., confirmed with a flourish yesterday.
Miss Wright, a 27-year-old longball hitter who won 10 major tournaments last year, became the first woman in 20 years to put two Titleholders championships back-to-back when she fired a sizzling 3-under-par 69 to beat Ruth Jessen and win the first playoff in the tournament's long history.
She won by three strokes to earn $1,400. Miss Jessen got $1,100.
Not since Dot Kirby won in 1941 and 1942 has any woman been able to win the Titleholders, the women's version of the Masters, two years running.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — (UPI) — Eight Kentucky Derby candidates clash in the $16,200 Derby trial at Churchill Downs today for the dubious honor of challenging Sir Gaylord and Ridan in the rose run.
The 68th running of the Kentucky Derby Saturday shapes up as a twohorse race between Sir Gaylord, the favorite, and Ridan, the second choice. And the status of these two outstanding eligibles for America's premier horse race is unlikely to change regardless of the Derby trial winner.
Reds Led Low Run Games
Coach Fearing announced that the Big Eight tournament will be held here next year in the Jay Bowl and that KU will conduct next year's postal league.
CINCINNATI, Ohio — (UPI)
The Cincinnati Reds' pitching staff led the National League in low-run games during 1961. Cincinnati pitchers hurled 12 shut-outs, 17 one-run games and 32 two-run games.

KU Misses League Title
Competing at the University of Colorado's student union facility, the Jayhawkers placed a close third behind Oklahoma and Colorado. Oklahoma compiled 187 Petersen points and 19 pins, Colorado had 187 points and 14 pins and the Hawks amassed the same 187-point total and 11 pins.
KU placed third in the loop postal competition. Missouri copped the conference crown with a 43-13 mark. Nebraska was runnerup with a 34-22 record and KU had a 31-25 record.
KU came within eight pins of capturing the Big Eight bowling tournament title Saturday.
INDIANAPOLIS — (UPI) — H. L.
Chaillaux of Indianapolis originated the American Junior Baseball League of the American Legion in 1926.
Lloyd Cramer nabbed the lone Hawk first place trophy. Cramer fired the tourney's top series, a 202-211-423.
UNDER THE PETERSEN scoring system, one point is awarded for each game won and one point is given for each 50 pins.
Other KU team members were Don Kahl, Dick Groner, Bill Miller and Dave Rybolt.
KAHL CAME within four-tenths of a pin of being named to the meet's all-star team.
