In Texas invasion
Jayhawks shine
Somehow the names were juggled,but KU's Jayhawks-national collegiate indoor track champions-looked the part in the rain-plagued 42nd Texas Relays.
Heralded Jim Ryun, never
before a loser as anchorman for Jayhawk relay squads, twice trailed the winner to the tape—although nobody bested Ryun's anchor carries of 1:46.9 in the sprint medley and 1:47.4 in the two-mile.
Netters drop conference opener as Oklahoma State plays spoiler
Oklahoma State defeated KU 5-2 Saturday in the first home and conference tennis meet of the season for the Jayhawks.
"The meet was closer than the score indicated," said Jim Burn, KU tennis coach, "so I wasn't too disappointed. They (OSU) have had good weather to practice in so I expect us to be even with them by the time the conference meet rolls around."
Dan Oram, Shawnee Mission junior, was the only KU player to win in the singles competition, scoring a 3-6, 6-3 and 6-3 victory over Oklahoma State's Mike Howard in the number three-man competition.
The number two doubles team of Bill DeBaun, Leawood senior, and Dudley Bush, Salina junior, scored the only win in the double competition, beating
Daryl Snyder and Mike Howard 6-4 and 6-3.
The next meet for the Jayhawks will be Tuesday afternoon on the KU courts with Kansas State.

And KU's two other NCAA Indoor champions, shot putter Karl Salb and long jumper Ron Jessie, were not gold medal winners. Salb found himself in the middle of another 1-2-3 Kansas sweep in the shot put. Failing to place in his specialty, Jessie salved the wound with his No. 2 finish in the 120-yard high hurdles.
For all the disappointments, Kansas still managed five 'firsts' and as many 'seconds' along with four 'thirds.' Three of those triumphs came with KU record performances.
Discus king Doug Knop successfully defended his Texas Relays title, unleashing a throw of 189-8½ on his last chance to edge Florida's John Morton by four inches. Knop now ranks second on the all-time Big Eight discus chart, less than two feet behind the best.
The Knop-Morton duel took some of the luster from Salb's career best heave of 189-0, with Steve Wilhelm ranking fourth with a 171-5 toss.
Archer bags Masters with even par round
However, Wilhelm had his chance to go to the head of the class—and did. Wilhelm outlasted Salb and the elements pegging the shot put 62-5 in a background of rain and lightning. Salb (60-8), six feet below his record NCAA toss, and Knop (58-11%) took the silver and bronze.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — All you had to do was check the scoreboard Sunday and understand what Masters champion George Archer meant when he said a three-stroke lead on the Augusta National "is never enough."

8 KANSAN Apr. 14
1969
The 6-foot-6 Archer, tallest of all the touring pros, held off a four-way challenge to win the Masters Golf Tournament by a single stroke.
He wound up with a 7-under-par 281 with a closing 72. Right on his heels at 282 were playing partner Tom Weiskopf, Canadian George Knudson and third-round leader Billy Casper, who lost his cool while playing the first 10 holes "like a 14 handcapper."
"Sure, I had a three stroke lead at one time from the seventh through the ninth hole," Archer, a 29-year-old Californian said when it was over. "But, you'd better believe it, on this course it's never enough."
Archer started the day a stroke behind Casper. But Casper, who had been playing it safe and easy for three days, became "discombobulated" and suffered five bogeys in a seven-hold span from the fourth through the 10th holes.
The Jayhawk weightmen had to share the limelight with hurdlers George Byers and Jessie, and veteran Bob Steinhoff-who cleared the highest hurdle of his oft-injured KU career.
Steinhoff set a school mark of 16-6 in the pole vault, while Byers and Jessie streaked to a 1-2 finish in the high hurdles. Both were clocked in 14 seconds flat. KU's third silver medalist, Stan Whitley, reached 24.2% in the long jump—only three-quarters of an inch behind Oklahoma State's Hal Oswalt.

BOB SLAVIK
The Most Outstanding Service In Town Resides At The Stables!
On his way to Mexico, Bob made the mistake of stopping at a Cut'n Shoot, Texas cafe for a glass of goat's milk. After striking up a conversation with a couple of the local kiddies on the topic of sex education he happened to mention that he had recently killed the Easter Bunny. Needless to say within a few minutes the cafe was surrounded by the entire Cut'n Shoot police force (one Model T and a bicycle with training wheels), one retired Texas Ranger in a wheelchair, seven angry, unemployed farmers and the president of the PTA. They promptly arrested Robert on the following charges: inciting a riot (after one of the little kiddies explained to his classmates what Bob said about the Easter Bunny, they went on a rampage through the Cut'n Shoot Jr. High, terrorizing the one teacher and janitor), malicious destruction of town property (he stepped on and killed a rattlesnake on his way into the cafe) and Un-American activities (he had a "Vote For Paulson" bumper sticker on his car). "I tried to explain the situation but they didn't listen. One 'sports fan' could place KU as the school that was routed by Slippery Rock State in last year's Tangerine Bowl, 14-13."
This statement is no brag—just fact. Consider all the tremendous, all-American type boys that have been introduced in previous weeks who make up the capable Stables staff. Any mother would be overjoyed to have her daughter walk down the marriage isle (normal or shotgun style) with any of them. Today we focus (scandalize would be a better word) in on Bob Slavik. He is always so busy preparing tummy satisfying hamburgers, french fries and other finger lick'n good food treats that he couldn't even take a pause to flash an obscene jester at our friendly camera. Although Bob rarely does anything that would put a black mark against him in Santa Claus's big book at the North Pole, he did run into a little trouble over Spring Break.
Fortunately Bob was a free man five days later after: helping repair the sheriff's backyard still, washing and waxing the official Cut'n Shoot police vehicles, canning 18 quarts of rattlesnake meat and writing 100 times "LBJ Will Always Lead The Way."
As you can imagine Bob is a bit perturbed at spending Spring Break in Cut'n Shoot. It cut deeply into any time he could have spent in Mexico gathering racey and prohibited (but not in your own home) movies, books, pictures and grass to bring back to his customers at the local grade and junior high schools. "Guess they'll just have to continue shooting peanut butter and smoking bubble gum," he explained in a distressed tone.
