Baylor's Bill Kemp Returns To Defend Relays' Title
The nation's top sprinters will be in the Kansas Relays 100-yard dash lineup tomorrow.
Contesting Baylor's Bill Kemp, who returns to defend his title, will be:
Steve Haas, Occidental. :09.5 two weeks ago; Leroy Jackson, Western Illinois, third in the 1961 NCAA; Ray Knaub, Nebraska, who won the Texas Relays this year; his stable-mate, Don Degman, Big Eight Indoor 60 champion; Larry McCue, Kansas, 1961 conference Indoor king; Dale Alexander, Kansas State; Homer Jones and Overton Williams, Texas Southern; Dennis Richardson.
Abilene Christian, 1961 Texas Relays champ, and Roger Sayers, Omaha. :09.5 last year as a freshman.
In addition to the 100-yard dash Kemp will be anchoring Bear 440 and 880 teams here in defense of titles they won last year. Furthermore, he'll be running with the same mates, Roy Smallley, Dave Bennett, and Glynn Fields on the quarter; Smallley, Fields, and Dave Alexander in the Half.
The Bears followed ACC home in the 880 at the Texas Relays and tied Nebraska for second in the 440. With ACC not scheduled to run a single baton exchange here those two numbers are wide open.
O-State Coach Is Optimistic
Late in the basketball season two sportswriters cornered Ralph Higgins, who doubles as Oklahoma State cage timer and track coach. "How fast you think you can run that mile relay this spring?" they asked.
They expected an optimistic answer from a coach famed for optimistic statements and just as noted for piloting his athletes close to or beyond extravagant goals of performance. Higgins didn't disappoint his interviewers. "I think we can hit 3:08.0" he answered matter-of-factly without the trace of a smile.
If you don't know, that clocking would be :01.7 faster than any Big Eight team ever has run. It also would be :02.5 under the current conference record, which the Aggies hold, and just four-tenths off the Intercollegiate figure Abilene Christian established a year ago at Compton, Calif.
As usual Higgins wasn't making empty claims. The Cowpokes have broken meet records throughout the winter and spring, including a new American mark of 3:13.8 at the Kansas State Indoor Invitational in Manhattan.
This feat can be more clearly focused when it is noted that the former American indoor mark of 3:14.4 was set in 1953 by an all-star aggregation of four Olympic gold medalists, representing the Grand Street Boys club of New York. Their names are Mal Whitfield, George Rhoden, Herb McKenley, and Andy Stanfield.
The Waddies were running on a 220 layout, which means they had to negotiate twice as many turns as will be necessary on the outdoor saucers. Many coaches feel a quartermiler can cut this time by one to two seconds when he moves outdoors, providing rain or wind doesn't interfere.
The Pokes should be favored here Saturday in the Kansas Relays action. The competition they'll face
