KU Foursome Sets Record
A Kansas two mile relay team of Kirk Hagan, Tonnie Coane, Bill Thornton and Bill Dotson established a new American record of 7:30.8 at the Chicago Daily News indoor meet Friday night.
The Jayhawker unit chopped two seconds off the old record held by Manhattan college.
HAGAN STARTED the race for the Jayhawkers. For the first four laps he was nip-and-tuck with runners from Nebraska and Drake. He then pulled away from the pack and built up a 30-yard lead for the second runner, Coane.
Conne and Thornton added to the already substantial margin and on the final leg of the relay Dotson lapped the Drake runner.
Dotson ran KU's fastest time with a 1:51.1. Hagan ran a 1:52.2.
Thornton, 1:52.8 and Coane 1:54.8.
Last Place Hawks Fall to Colorado
Kansas basketball coach Dick Harp has maintained all year long that his squad's major problem was "maintaining a consistent effort."
He buttressed his arguments by pointing to eight games in which his Jayhawkers either led at halftime or with several minutes remaining in the game, before coming out on the losing end. The margins ranged from one point in overtime play to five points.
SATURDAY NIGHT the cellar-bound Jayhawkers met front-running Colorado at Boulder. The game meant little for Kansas, but Colorado had everything to lose and nothing to gain. Riding atop the Big Eight CU could only lose its undisputed claim to the conference championship and a trip to NCAA Regional tournament at Manhattan Friday.
The Kansas State Wildcats completed their season Wednesday and could only cross fingers in hopes that its rival Jayhawkers could do what some termed "impossible."
It looked as if an impossibility was to be reality with five minutes remaining at Boulder. The Jayhawkers, playing as if they were conference champions held a commanding 10-point lead over the Buffaloes.
IT WAS no surprise that their old nemesis "maintaining a consistent effort" should strike. In a period of one minute and 58 seconds the Buffaloes outscored KU 11-0 and gained a one-point advantage.
Cincinnati Meets Bradley Tonight
CINCINNATI, Ohio—(UPI)—The second-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats meet Bradley tonight in a Missouri Valley Conference playoff to determine the District 5 representative to the NCAA games. The loser will undoubtedly round out the National Invitation tournament roster for its Thursday opener.
Cincinnati won the 1961 NCAA title by beating Ohio State in overtime. It has won the MVC crown four straight years and on the basis of past performance could make it five in a row—provided it gets by Bradlev.
Three of the four NCAA regional preliminaries start tonight, with an Eastern sectional tripleheader at Philadelphia.

This is all it took to put the wraps on one of the Javahawks' worst seasons in history. The Hawks, having lost their momentum, could settle for no more than last place. It was some consolation that they weren't alone.

The final score was Colorado, 63, Kansas 59.
During the football season Kansas and Missouri fought it out for the top rungs on the Big Eight ladder. In basketball the two rivals share last place, both with 3-11 records.
JERRY GARDNER finished his college career with a 25-point performance and a sure conference individual scoring title. Official figures will be released later this week.
The scrappy guard scored 1,029 points during his three-year career and finished as the highest scoring guard in Javhawk annals.
Nolen Ellison, his running mate, continued his late season slump scoring 14 points, four below his average. Harry Gibson, sophomore forward who has been hampered by a bad knee the entire year, scored 10 points.
KEN CHARLTON who engaged in a season-long scoring duel with Gardner, was the Buffalooes' big show. Charlton scored 24 points for the game's second high individual total. He had but one companion in double figures, Lonnie Melton who scored 12 points.
The league title for Colorado ended a seven year respite for the Buffalooes. Colorado's only previous titles came in 1954 when it tied Kansas and 1955 when it won undisputed.
BOSTON, Mass.—(UPI)—Boston equalled the NBA record for most victories in a season by making Los Angeles its 59th victim with a 119-105 triumph over the Lakers yesterday. The Celtics can set a new mark by beating Syracuse tomorrow.

Wilt Chamberlain came within three points of 4,000 for the season when he tallied 44 in Philadelphia's 148-130 loss to Syracuse. Pro basketball's greatest scoring champion can reach the charmed plateau in his final game of the regular season against Chicago Wednesday night.
In the only other game played yesterday, Bob Pettit kept his unbeaten record as a player-coach intact when the St. Louis Hawks edged the Detroit Pistons, 126-123.
