a big step in preparation for the conference meet, March 22, at Iowa-State, Coach Robert Lockwood said.
"The team should be ready for the meet," Lockwood added.
"The only physical setback that might hinder the squad is Robert Pierson's hyper-extended elbow which he suffered in the Nebraska meet last Saturday."
Lockwood said the team will be trying several new things against Colorado. For the first time in Jayhawk competition, Stan Clyne will attempt a full double-back somersault in his floor exercise routine.
The ring team of Kirk Gardner and Pierson, fresh from a one-two finish against Nebraska, will both end their routines with full twisting dismounts—a stunt rated "superior" in difficulty. The twists should add three-tenths of a point to their total scores.
Gardner will perform a routine which could, because of its difficulty, conceivably win the NCAA title in the ring event, Coach Lockwood explained.
Evaluating CU, Lockwood said "They are stronger this year than they were last year, but then everybody is stronger. Their overall ability is good. Their leader, Ben Blea is strong on the high bar and in all-around competition. As a team they're outstanding in the floor exercises and on the side horse.
"They should jump ahead early in the meet and we hope that our strength in the last four events will carry us over them," Lockwood said.

Mike Finnigan and THE SERFS—Mar.14 and 15
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) - The 41st annual Big Eight Conference indoor track and field championships open here tonight and with one of the most balanced fields of athletes ever assembled in the league, as many as 12 new meet records could be set.
Five of these records have already been bested in other competition this year.
Kansas' hurdler George Byers has run the 60-yard highs in :07.1 this year, one-tenth of a second better than his own meet record, and four runners—Kansas' Doug Smith, Rich Elliott and Mike Solomon and Missouri's Kerry Hogan—all have run the two-mile under the old record time of 9:00.2.
All-time best
All of the indoor field event records have been topped this year. Creating the biggest stir has been Karl Salb of Kansas who put the shot 65-5/4 earlier in the year for the all-time league indoor best.
Stan Whitley of Kansas leads the long jumpers with an all-time league indoor best of 25-4%.
Larry Curts, a one-time conference indoor record holder in the pole vault is back in the thick of competition and holds a 16-6 mark. three inches better than the meet record.
Finals tomorrow
Finals in the 13 other events will be staged tomorrow night.
Wayne Long of Oklahoma has already equaled the meet's mark of :06. 0 in the 60-yard dash.
Three mile relay teams, paced by Oklahoma's 3:10.0, have been under the indoor mark of 3:16.8. However, the Sooners' mark came on a five-lap track. Missouri and Kansas State have each turned in times of 3:19.9, while Kansas is only one second back.
Julio Meade of Kansas and Terry Holbrook of K-State are running 1-2 in the 440-yard dash with marks of :48.7 and :48.9, respectively. Nebraska's Clifton Forbes, who holds the meet record of .48.0 has the third best time this season at :49.0.
High iump threatened
The high jump record of 7 feet also may be in danger. K-State's Ray McGill has leaped 6-10 to top that field so far.
Colorado's Dan Peterson is threatening the indoor 880 record now held by Jim Ryun of Kansas. Peterson has run a 1:52.4, only four-tenths of a second off Ryun's mark.
Also in danger are the 600-yard run record of 1:09.2 and the 1,000-yard run mark of 2:08.8.
They don't make them like they used to.
They may still look like they used to,but that doesn't mean we still make them that way.
We used to have a tiny rear window. Now there's a big one
We used to have a plain old rear seat. Now there's one that folds down.
Over the years, engine power has been increased by 76%.
A dual brake system has been added.
The heater is much improved.
Fact is, over the years, over 2,200 such improvements have been made. Yet, you have to be some sort of a car nut to tell a new one from an old one.
Which, of course, was the plan.
In 1949, when we decided not to outdate the bug, some of the big auto names making big, fancy changes were Kaiser, Hudson and Nash.
Not that we were right and they were wrong, but one thing's for sure: They don't make them like they used to either.
