Coach Bill Easton's Outdoor Track Team Enters Texas Relays Meet This Weekend
Coach Bill Easton's outdoor track squad, which finished out of the money at Texas last year for the first time since 1948, will attempt this weekend to begin another winning streak at the 37th annual Texas Relays.
Coach Easton's hopes ride, in part, on his 1964 four-mile relay edition. Since he came here in the fall of 1947, Easton's baton foursomes have won 25 victories in the Austin competition. Nine of the winning performances were by four-mile teams and four of these wins broke records.
The Jayhawks, however, haven't won the four-mile relay at Austin since 1959, when a team of Bill Mills, Dan Ralston, Tom Skutka and Cliff Cushman turned a time of 17:15.6, just three seconds away from its record performance of a year before. Since then, however, Houston and Nebraska have wiped out the KU mark. The Nebraska record of 17:01.8 stands as the record going into this year's competition.
THIS YEAR, however, Easton returns to Austin with a new relay team which is loaded with the kind of talent records are made of.
The quartet consists of Herakd Hadley, John Donner, Bill Silverberg and Paul Acevedo. These men ran a four mile time of 17:17.3 Monday over the track here. The track was in the process of being resurfaced when this time was established.
It is, reportedly, likely that John Lawson will replace Silverberg in the relay lineup since Silverberg is scheduled to run the three-mile in Friday night's competition. The four-
mile team leads off in the finals Saturday afternoon. Hadley is the only member of the four-milers who saw duty in any event at Texas last year.
The Jayhawk trackmen are expected also to score in every other relay in the meet with the exception of the sprint medley.
Big Eight champion pole vaulter Floyd (Buzz) Manning figures to be the top KU contender in the individual events at Texas.
Easton will take 30 members of his team to Austin, then lay over for a week before meeting Abilene Christian and New Mexico.
