University Daily Kansan SPORTS Jayhawks May Help K-State
The Kansas Jayhawkers will have their last chance to help Kansas State's struggling Wildcats gain a share of the Big Eight basketball crown Saturday night against Colorado at Boulder. Tipoff for the season's finale will be at 9:05 p.m. Lawrence time.
If Kansas could beat the Buffaloes, who are already assured of a title tie, CU and the Wildcats would be deadlocked atop the Big Eight with identical 12-2 records. Kansas State polished off Nebraska at Lincoln Wednesday night, 84-60, and now must sit back and wait.
IN ADDITION, a KU victory against the Buffs would vault Dick Harp's crew out of the conference cellar. The Hawks and Missouri are currently tied for last place with 3-10 records.
In earlier competition this season, Kansas and Colorado have split a pair of games. The Jayhawks pounded CU, 75-66, in the first round of Big Eight tournament consolation play in December. And Kansas pushed Colorado all the way before bowing to Sox Walseth's league leaders in Lawrence, 65-61, Feb. 17.
League-leading scorer Jerry Gardner will wear the Crimson and Blue for the last time in the Colorado game. The Hawker guard, who has teamed with Nolen Ellison for one of the finest guard combinations in the country, is currently averaging 19.9 points a game after his 31-point career-high performance in KU's 76-71 surprise win at Iowa State Monday.
ELLISON, a junior, currently shares the No. 3 spot in conference scoring with Nebraska's Tom Russell; both are hitting at an 18.4 clip.
Despite the backcourt firepower, however, Colorado boasts a front line of Ken Charlton (6-6), Wilky Gilmore (6-5) and Jim Davis (6-8) that completely monopolized the backboards during the second half of the game in Lawrence nearly a month ago. The Buffalo boardmen average three inches per man taller than the Jayhawkers Harry Gibson (6-3), Jim Dumas (6-1), and Lee Flachsbarth (6-5).
Colorado's front-line shooting is also ominous. Charlton is currently shooting for a 17.7 average in conference games, while Gilmore is hitting 15 and Davis 11.2 points per game.
In addition, Colorado has an excellent front-line reserve in 6-6 Milt Mueller, who is currently averaging 8.8 points per game. Mueller added 12 points to the CU cause in the Feb. 17 game while substituting for the injured Charlton.

Chicago Relays To Host Stars Of Track, Field
CHICAGO, Ill.—(UPI)—Two teenage terriers, Tom O'Hara and Bruce Kidd, might steal the show from world record holders tonight in the 26th Chicago Daily News Relays.
Name athletes in the field include Jim Beatty of the Los Angeles Track Club, the only runner ever to better four minutes for the indoor mile, John Uelses, the only 16-foot pole vaulter, Ralph Boston, a 27-foot broad jumper, and hurdler Hayes Jones.
ALL HAVE set or equalled world marks and will be trying again tonight to improve on them. But their chances for success are dim and thus O'Hara or Kidd could become the star.
Beatty, who has been clocked at 3:58.9, 4:00.9 and 4:00.2 in his last three outings will be the target for O'Hara, and the youngster could succeed.
O'Hara, a sophomore at Loyola University, won the K. of C. mile at Cleveland last St. Patrick's Day and last week won the K. of C. mile in New York. In his last meeting with

Kansas track Coach Bill Easton has entered a two-mile relay team in the Chicago Daily News indoor meet tonight.
Running for Kansas will be Bill Dotson, Bill Thornton, Kirk Hagan and Tonnie Coane. With the exception of Coane this is the same team that held the nation's fastest two-mile time outdoors for nearly two months.
Coane won his berth on the team over Ted Reisinger Wednesday afternoon. The two ran each other and Coane came out on top.
Beatty, he was clocked at 4:02.3, the best time ever posted by a 19-year-old for the distance as Beatty won in 4:00.9.
THE TWO will be running in the Bankers' mile against Peter Close of the New York A.C., who won the Wanamaker mile this year, and an English star, Brian Turner of Southern Illinois.
Kidd, an 18-year-old Toronto runner who likes distances even longer than two miles, will be aiming at Max Truex's meet record of 8:49.1.
He will have four competitors, including Laszlo Tabori, the Hungarian star now with the Los Angeles Track Club, Bob Schul, a teammate of Tabori's, Ron Wallingford of the Toronto Olympic Club, and Joe Thomas of Southern Illinois.
Uelses, a 24-year-old Marine,
cleared 16 feet 3/4 inch with his controversial fiberglass pole earlier this year. He will be competing tonight against the outdoor world record holder, George Davis of Arizona State, whose mark is 15 feet $ 10 \frac{1}{2} $ inches.
Others in the vaulting field will be Mel Schwartz of the Marine Corps, Henry Wadsworth of the Army, and Risto Ankio of Finland.

Cleveland and New York squeezed out narrow victories last night and tightened up the standings to a point where only two and one-half games separates first place Pittsburgh and fourth place New York. Chicago is a half game behind the pace-setting Rens, and Cleveland trails Pittsburgh by two.
Last night's victories came at the expense of the Western Division, which is considerably more scattered. Chicago chalked up a 108-107 victory over western leader Kansas City and Cleveland came from behind to edge San Francisco. 100-98.
Kansas City enjoys a six and one-half game lead over second place Hawaii in the western standings, while San Francisco has dropped a full game behind the Chiefs.
Cleveland outscored San Francisco by nine points in the fourth quarter for its victory. Dick Barnett led the Piper attack with 33 points, while Mike Farmer was top for the Saints with 26.
Jack Adams was the big gun for New York last night. He scored 37 points, including the winning basket in the final second of play. However, the rugged contest, marked by 63 fouls, may have been costly for the Tapers. Their leading scorer, Dan Swartz, suffered a possible dislocated finger in the third period.
