Contradicting rumors, Kansas track coach Bill Easton says he is not considering any job offers from other schools and is very happy at KU.
There have been rumors that the KU mentor will accept a position at a West Coast institution, likely Southern California, UCLA or Stanford.
EVER SINCE former Chancellor Franklin Murphy assumed the chancellorship at UCLA rumors have circulated that Murphy will lure Easton away from KU.
Easton claims he would not be a candidate for the Southern California opening because USC will likely hire one of its graduates. Easton says he is not interested in the Stanford job.
The head track coach becomes quite disturbed when the subject of his leaving arises. "I don't know why people say that I am leaving here. Where do these rumors start? No one ever asks me. These rumors make it look as if I'm not happy and job hunting. This is absurd, I am very happy here."

Coffeyville junior college, which defeated the KU Freshmen, extended its season record to 30-0 last night by defeating San Angelo (Tex.) junior college 82-69 at the National Junior College basketball tournament at Hutchinson.
The victory put Coffeyville into the semi-finals which means the Red Ravens have to win only two more games to become the 1962 NJCAA champion.
IF THE RED RAVENS win the basketball title, they will become the only school to win national titles in football, basketball and track over the past six years.
Coffeyville won the NJCAA football title in 1956 defeating Grand Rapids, Mieh., at the Coliseum in Los Angeles. The Coffeyville track team won its national title in 1960 and finished second last year.
This Southeast Kansas city supports its athletic program strongly, especially at the junior college level. The only inhibitions of the city's Quarterback Club and the Basketball Boosters organization is the Jayhawk Juco Conference.
THERE ARE REPORTS that the conference will split, because of the objections of several schools over recruiting practices. The case as it stands is one of the "have-nots" objecting to the "haves."
If there is a conference split, it will be nothing new to Coffeyville. When the state's Eastern and Western divisions merged it was largely responsible to Coffeyville.
The Red Ravens had walked away with the Eastern division football title for so many years there was no incentive or support at the other schools. Several eastern schools dropped out, and Independence, Parsons and Coffeyville merged into the Western division.
Roger Maris, New York Yankee slugger, is being branded as an "angry young man." As a matter of fact, when it comes right down to it, ol' Rog just ain't sociable.
First he attacked sports writers and then he turned on Hall of Famers.
THE FIRST of the week he and Oscar Fraley, United Press International sports writer, almost came to fisticuffs. Maris approached Fraley and threatened to punch the sports writer one, because of an article Fraley had written.
(Comment: Now Rog, do you think this is nice?)
Yesterday. Maris asserted himself as a hitter of 61 home runs by refusing to have his picture taken with Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby.
Hornsby, in turn, branded Maris as a "bush leaguer."
The next thing Maris will probably try is spitting toward sports writers. This is a little courtesy that Ted Williams invented and Maris could perpetrate it.
Maris may find this baseball season a long one. It's always a lot nicer to have the fans and the press on your side. There will be a lot of pressure on this young man if he doesn't change his ways.

Kansas Closes Indoor Season At Kansas State Tomorrow
The undefeated Kansas Jayhawkers close their 1962 indoor track season tomorrow night in the annual Kansas State Indoor Invitational.
The record was set by Drake last year in edging the Jayhawkers in just one of running battles in which the two teams engaged.
TWO WEEKS AGO a four-man, two-mile relay unit ran at the Chicago Daily News meet and set a new American record of 7:30.8. Manhattan's Ahearn Field House record of 7:37.4 stands in jeopardy.
The last outing for KU was the Big Eight meet which it won by 11/12ths of a point, the narrowest winning margin in league history.
The record established at the Chicago meet has been bettered only once by a Big Eight team. Last
year's Jayhawker unit turned a 7:28.6 to establish a new record at the Drake Relays in Des Moines.
THREE MEMBERS of that team, Kirk Hagan. Bill Thornton and Bill Dotson, will be running tomorrow. The other spot will be filled by either Tonnie Coane, who ran at Chicago, or Ted Reisinger, another promising rookie.
Some combination of these five boys will return to defend KU's distance medley championship that was a near-record 10:06.1 last year. Only Billy Mills, who ran the number three 1.320 yard carry, is missing from the team of Bill Stoeddart, Thornton and Dotson. The record, 10:04.6, is held by KU's 1960 team
The Jayhawkers have but one defending individual champion returning. Larry McCue in the 75 yard dash. McCue was runner-up in the Big Eight 60-yard dash this year.

notable absentee, Jack Stevens in the pole vault. Stevens injured his shoulder at the Big Eight meet and has not been vaulting. The injury may keep Stevens out of action another three weeks.
OVERALL, EASTON will send 24 men into action. There will be one
The individual entries are: Ron Swanson and Charles Twiss, high jump; Yul Yost, shot put; Roger Schmanke, pole vault; Larry Cordell and Schmanke, broad jump; Charlie Smith and Rich Anderson, 75-yard high hurdles; Smith, Anderson, Cordell and Bob Covey, 75-yard low hurdles; Dan Lee and Bob Martin, 360-year run; Kirk Hagan, 1000-year run; Charlie Hayward and Dan Ralston, two-mile run.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—(UPI)—Cincinnati and Ohio State, marching inexorably toward a replay of their championship battle of 12 months ago, are solid favorites tonight in the semi-final round of the 24th annual NCAA basketball tournament.

Although the defending champion Bearcats and this season's no. 1 ranking Buckeyes are expected to romp over UCLA and Wake Forest, respectively, a haunting refrain from out of the West whispered, "remember 1959." And Cincinnati was the team most likely to heed that warning.
It was voiced by Johnny Wooden, whose Far West regional champions from UCLA flew into town Thursday afternoon a little late and little known in these parts.
The Bruins, delayed 45 minutes in their departure from Los Angeles by radio repairs, were much later than that getting started this season as they lost seven of their first 11, including a 105-84 liking by Ohio State. They've come fast since then, now boasting an 18-9 record that still looks a little pale beside Cincinnati's 27-2.
