Easton's Trackmen Prepare For Drake Relays
POLE VAULTER—Floyd Manning prepares himself for the 15-9 1/2 vault which brought him the championship in that event at the Kansas Relays here Saturday. Manning should be a key figure in KU's individual championship hopes as the Jayhawks enter the Drake Relays this weekend.
With the memory of the Kansas Relays still fresh in their minds, Coach Bill Easton's trackmen are preparing for their next big challenge—the Drake Relays.
Easton has not yet announced the list of Jayhawk entrants in the Drake games, but it was thought that a relatively small number of athletes would make the trek to Des Moines.
Easton said that while he had no regrets about the Kansas Relays here last weekend, he was, at the same time, not completely satisfied with the performance of the Jayhawk team.
ACCORDING to Easton, the KU team effort will be hurt somewhat this weekend by the loss of distance runner Dave Kamrar.
"We found out," Easton said, "that Kamrar has mononucleosis. That will hurt us in the three-mile. We have no way of knowing how long it will take him to recover, he is working out some now, but we don't know how well he's coming along."
Although the list of those going to Drake is not yet available, one sure participant is Kansas Relays champion pole vaulter, Floyd Manning. Manning, who won the Big Eight indoor championship with a vault of 15-8, had the best outing of his career here Saturday as he won his event with a $15-9_{1/2}$ effort. He won the Relays title on fewer misses, however, since Oklahoma's Jim Farrell also cleared the bar at $15-9_{1/2}$.
ANOTHER SAFE bet to go to Des Moines is Tyce Smith, Smith, the highest jumper in KU history, won his event here Saturday with a 6-4/1 leap. This was, however, by no means Smith's best jump. The Cherryale senior set varsity indoor records in three consecutive meets during the 1964 indoor season with progressive marks of 6-8/1⁴, 6-8/1² and 6-8/³⁴. He won the Big Eight indoor title on fewer misses at 6-6.
The Jayhawks' only other Kansas Relays champion, spinter Bob Hanson, will probably represent KU in the 100-yard and 100-meter competition at Drake. Hanson won the 100-yard here with a :09.7 clocking. He was forced out of indoor competition with an injury, but has run the 100-yard in :09.5.
