Track Coach Picks Missouri As Big Gun In Conference
Despite the impressive record of this year's indoor track squad, Coach Bill Easton says his team is, at best, a top challenger for the Big Eight Conference title.
Going into this weekend's championship meet in Kansas City, Coach Easton said he thought Missouri to be definitely the team to beat.
The Big Eight meet will be at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday in Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. Time trials and semifinals will be Friday with finals Saturday.
"I don't see." Easton said, "how one can help but regard Missouri as the very best of competitors. Our boys are going to really have to go to beat that Missouri team."

KU HAS WON the title ten times in the last 12 years, but Coach Easton is not overly optimistic this year.
Easton said he thought the Tigers would be the pick of most dopesters who were trying to figure out the meet. He said, however, that the meet would be, in his opinion, very close.
"Yes, you bet it's going to be close," Coach Easton said. "Anyone who misses this meet will regret it. There are going to be some of the very finest competitors in every single one of the events."
EASTON SAID the only way, in his opinion, to win the meet, is to score in all events—not just win a few.
Bill Silverberg, the Overland Park senior who last weekend set a new record of 9:05 in the two-mile said he was preparing to give his best effort in his event in the championship competition.
"Everybody," Silverberg said, "is going to have to do his part in this meet. I think KU will take the top five places in the two-mile. We have the five fastest times so far and I think-I hope—we can sweep the event."
OF SILVERBERG'S record-smashing effort last weekend, Coach Easton said he thought it was a
great time. Easton said, however, that he expects still faster times from Silverberg.
"It was," Coach Easton said, "a magnificent effort on Bill's part. He's in great shape and he's going to do better vet before the year is over."
"It looks," Smith said, "as though it's really going to be close. I think the winner will have to really get up there, he might have to go 6-9 or even 6-10.
Easton said Silverberg can and will break the conference two-mile record of 9:03.1.
TYCE SMITH, another Jayhawk record-breaker, said he thought he would really have to hustle to bring home championship meet honors. Smith, a high jumper, set three consecutive Allen Field House records during the season's competition, jumping 6-8 $ _{1/4}$, 6-8 $ _{1/2}$, and 6-8 $ _{3/4}$.
"Just wait until Bill gets outdoors if you think he's running now," Coach Easton said. When he gets on the bigger outdoor track and doesn't have to fool around with all the curves on the small indoor track—watch out. He's going to break nine minutes.
"I hope I get up there," Smith smiled. "I even got a new pair of shoes for the meet—so how can I lose."
FLOYD MANNING, the Jayhawks record holder in the pole vault, said he hopes to be in his very best form for the meet. He said last night his timing was off somewhat, but otherwise he felt fine.
"My timing is off a little," Manning said. "It's not because my step is off or anything like that. It's just that I haven't been able to vault for about four days because they had the Field House set up for the basketball game." (Manning referred to the KU-Kansas State game Saturday night.)
Manning said he hopes and expects to be at his best in Kansas City.
COACH EASTON emphasized that the KU team is not afraid of Miss-
souri. He said KU is a solid challenger for the championship.
"A lot will depend on how some of the lesser teams cut the big guns during the preliminaries Friday night. You know, if you don't qualify on Friday, you don't get a chance Saturday. That's what we keep telling our boys," Coach Easton smiled.
Coach Easton said he thought the KU team to be in very good physical condition.
60-yard high hurdles — Bill Chambers, Lloyd Buzzi, Harold House; 60-yard dash—Bob Hansen, Tom Wright, Doug Dienelt, Ron Suggs; 60-yard low hurdles—Bob Hansen, Bill Chambers, Lloyd Buzzi, Harold House, Gavle Savers.
"We're in about as good condition as we'll ever be," Easton said.

Chic Foery, Gary Ace; 440-yard—Tom Wright, Doug Dienelt, Ron Suggs; 1000-yard—Herald Hadley, John Donner; 880-yard — Tonnie Coane, Ken Holm, Chic Foery; Broad Jump—Glenn Martin, Bob Looney, Gayle Sayers; Shot Put — Gary Schwartz; Mile Run—Tonnie Coane, John Donner, Herald Hadley.
