Southern Sweeps KU Relays
By Roy Miller
Representing a small Texas school, a coach and 11 men entered the Kansas Relais Friday.
This same 11-man team and the same coach left Lawrence to return to their same small Texas school Saturday, but not until they had established two KU Relays records, became the first team in Relays history to win six relay titles and had one of their team members chosen the outdoor carnival's outstanding performer.
TEXAS SOUTHERN, the small Texas school, and its coach, Stanley Wright, also left Mt. Oread with a great deal of admiration from a Saturday crowd of about 15,000 persons.
In all, eight KU Relays records were broken before the 37th annual, and possibly the last to be held in Memorial Stadium, outdoor carnival ended late Saturday afternoon.
Texas Southern, competing in the college division, started its record assault Friday when Ray Sadler, Homer Jones, T. J. Bell and Major Adams finished the sprint medley in 3:19.8, two and eight-tenths seconds better than the previous record.
SOUTHERN'S OTHER record came in the mile relay Saturday when Melvin Houston, Wesley Blackmon, Saddler and Lester Milburn finished in 3:11, knocking six-tenths of a second off their own record set Friday in the preliminaries.
Southern's first place finish in the distance medley came with two and three-tenths seconds of the listed Relays record and their 440 effort was two-tenths of a second slower than the posted best.
Texas Southern's first in the half-mile baton event was six-tenths of a second off the record and the two-mile quartet finished 11 and one-tenth seconds off the Relays mark.
SOUTHERN'S SADDLER, who ran the first leg on the sprint medley crew, anchored the two-mile victory and ran the third leg in the mile race, was selected the carnival's most outstanding athlete by the sportswriters.
Saddler had 10 1/11 votes and Pat Clohessy, Houston, who won the three-mile run and the Glenn Cunningham mile, was second with four votes.
KU's own track team won only one first at the meet. The Javahawk- four-mile team of Mike Fulghum, Bill Thornton, Ted Riesinger and Bill Dotson set a new Relays record with a 16:53.1 clocking. Their effort was the fastest ever in the Big Eight and five-tenths of a second better than the listed collegiate record.
BILL MILLER. McMurry, set a new record in the broad jump with a 25-6 leap. The mark, according to the field judge, came when wind was below the 4.5 maximum, even though gusts between five and 10 m.p.h. were prevalent Friday.
The favored Jayhawks fell behind Missouri in the two-mile relay as the Tigers finished in 7:24.2, two-tenths of a second faster than KU and good enough for a new Relays record.
The Tigers effort is also the best this year in the country and is the all-time Big Eight best.
Fred Hansen, Rice, set a new Relays record of 15-6 $ \frac{1}{4} $ in the pole vault, outperforming John Uelses and Henry Wadsworth, who tied at 15-$ \frac{1}{4} $ in their exhibition.
gained a first leg lead with a 1:53.2 half, compared to Jerry McFadden's 1:53.7. The Tiger's Greg Pelster outran Ted Riesinger. 1:50.8-1:15.6, and Bill Thornton brought the Jayhawks even with the Tigers with his 1:49.2 half compared to Bill Rawson's 1:49.5.
MISSOURI'S ANCHOR man, Jim Baker, finished with a 1:50.2 half-mile, while KU's Bill Dotson ran 1:55.3. Baker crossed the finish with a 15-yard lead.
With 5,000 fans remaining, Hansen cleared the bar on his third try. Hansen also tried unsuccessfully for the collegiate record of 15-10% and it was 6:18 p.m. before the 37th Kansas Relays officially ended.
In that race KU's Kirk Hagan
Wichita East Sets 3 Relays Records
Wichita East led a field of 54 high schools in the KU Relays Saturday with firsts in three events and as many new Relays records.
East's third first place came in the discus event. Jim Waskiecki heaved the disc for 170-4, bettering a 1958 effort of 164-9.
Topeka established a new Relays record in the half-mile baton event. Joe Phillips, Tom McBride, Andy Williams and Bill Harris finished in 1958, three-tenths of a second better than the previous record set in 1958. The Trojans also capped the sprint medley title.
East's 440-vard relay crew bettered the existing Relays mark and the all-time state prep record with a 430-clocking. Members of the Blue Ace foursome were Jim Wintors, Tim Boyle, Ken Stephens and Bob Hanson. The previous Relays and state best was set at the Relays in 1958 when Wichita North finished in 43:8.
Phil Mulkey, competing unattached, successfully defended his decathlon title and became the winningest athlete in Relays history.
The Blue Aces also established new Relays and all-time state marks in the mile relay. Boyle, Keith Thompson, Joe Henderson and Hanson turned in a 3:21.8 performance, topping a record set by East in 1957 of 3:23.3.
In Friday field event action two new KU Relays prep records were set. Steve Straight, Shawnee Mission North, cracked the second oldest Relays prep record when he leaped 6-5/12 in the high jump. The old mark, an eighth of an inch lower, had been listed since 1939.
Mulkey now owns six firsts in the decathlon, placing him ahead of Glenn Cunningham who owns five firsts in one event.
Mukley piled up a total of 7,480 points after nine of ten events, breaking his own record of 7,268 set last year.
J. D. Martin, unattached, who placed second in the decathlon, bettered the listed world record in the decathlon pole vault event. Martin leaped 15-2/4.
