Al Oerter, the only athlete who ever, won four Olympic gold medals in a single event, will return to his alma mater this spring to be honored at the 44th Kansas Relays. KU Relays dedicated to Oerter The April 17-19 meet will be dedicated to the 32-year-old discus ace from West Islip, N.Y., it was announced yesterday by Bob Timmons, Jayhawk track coach and director of the Kansas Relays. AL OERTER "Not only will Al come back to be honored, he'll also compete in a special discus event," Timmons said. This will be Oerter's first trip back to Memorial Stadium since he finished his collegiate career with the Jayhawks in 1958. Oerter is employed as a computer analyst by Grumman Aircraft Corporation. The Long Island, N.Y., resident won his fourth Olympic discus championship at Mexico City last fall with a life-time best throw of 212 feet, 61% inches-more than five feet beyond his previous peak and the fourth time he'd broken the Olympic record. Fencers busy this weekend Now moving into the heaviest part of their schedule, the KU fencing squad travels to St. Louis this weekend. KU duels with the University of Washington tomorrow, then competes in a Sunday tournament sponsored by the St. Louis Division of the American Fencers League. That meet will include four teams from the University of Missouri at Kansas City, three from KU, three from the St. Louis Club, and two from the St. Louis area. Five meets are slated in the next two months, leading up to the NCAA championships at Chapel Hill, N.C., in March. A March 3 match with the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs will be followed by a four-school affair at Iowa City, Ia., on March 14. Competing there will be KU, Iowa, Wayne State, and Detroit. Three fencers will represent KU in the national championships—Steve Keeler in foil, Ken Muller in epee, and Tom Fenton in sabre. Competition there will be on an individual basis with representation from some 50 teams. 8 KANSAN Feb. 7 1969 Red clay country ahead for 'Hawks KU Coach Ted Owens, only once a loser in eight coaching appearances in his native state of Oklahoma, makes his annual return to the red clay country this weekend to send the Jayhawks against Oklahoma Saturday and Oklahoma State Monday. Battling Colorado for the Big Eight lead, Kansas (5-2) heads south a half-game behind the Buffalooes (5-1). The Jayhawks' two defeats were by one point at Missouri—a shot at the gun—and at Iowa State in double-overtime. For the full route, Kansas stands 16-3 with its only non-conference loss an early-season setback at Wisconsin. The Jayhawks rank No. 10 in the UPI poll this week and No. 13 in the AP ratings. At Oklahoma tomorrow Kansas will be starting on its second 1,000 victories. The Jayhawks finally reached that "one grand" milestone this week with their 64-48 triumph over Oklahoma State. It was their first game in three years without All-American guard JoJo White, whose eligibility ended at mid-year. Phil Harmon, a slick-shooting senior guard from Tulsa, moved into the lineup to replace White and responded with 14 points—his best output since hitting 16 against Creighton early in the campaign. Harmon's all-time high was a 30-point binge at Norman last season during an 85-80 overtime victory. A pair of rangy rookies, 6-9 Dave Robisch and 6-10 Roger Brown, continue to pace Kansas in scoring and rebounding. Robisch tabbed 23 points against O-State to boost his average to 18.5, and Brown picked off 13 rebounds to push his average to 7.9. Owens, a nifty guard at Oklahoma in 1949-50-51, has never lost to his alma mater since becoming head coach at KU in 1964. His Jayhawks have forged a 10-0 record over OU, including four straight at Norman. During that span Kansas has logged a 3-1 reading at Stillwater and stands 8-3 against Oklahoma State in all games since Owens took over at KU.
