University Daily Kansan SPORTS Field Events Aid KU Track Victory
Field events stole the show at Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon as three Kansas Jayhawker track men achieved career highs in their specialties to spearhead the Jayhawkers to a 74-70 victory over Southern Illinois in a dual meet.
Shotputter Yul Yost, who won the Kansas Relays and finished second at Texas and Drake, threw 57-8, javelin thrower Pete Talbott threw 223-9 and broad jumper Glenn Martin hit 23-84. All marks were new meet records.
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, as expected, was strong in the running events. KU's Kirk Hagan, who led the Jayhawker two-mile relay team to victory at the Kansas Relays, was no match for Salukis star Bill Cornell. Even though Cornell had run a victorious 4:09.1 mile an hour beforehand, he came back to run 1:50.9 in the 880-yard run.
Baseball Team Defeats I-State
The Kansas Jayhawker baseball team traveled to Iowa State over the weekend to meet the Cyclones in a three-game series.
The Jayhawkers returned Saturday, however, after playing only one game. The second game of Friday's doubleheader was called after seven innings due to darkness and Saturday's single game was rained out.
The Jayhawkers extended their league record to 7-6 with an 8-6 victory in Friday's opening game. KU managed to hold onto their fourth place standing by five percentage points. Oklahoma State swept a three-game series with Kansas State to close in on the Jayhawkers.
The big series over the weekend was at Columbia, Mo., where the league leading Oklahoma Sooners and the second-place Tigers met for the Big Eight league lead. The two teams split on Friday, but the Tigers won the all-important final game 8-1 to move to the top of the standings with a 12-2 record. The Sooners are one game back with a 10-2 record.
Carl Nelson pitched the Jayhawkers to victory in Friday's opening game. The Jayhawkers scored eight runs in the first two innings on a two run double by Ralph Pagani and a two run homer by Keith Bercrombie. Iowa State's Mary Straw hit a grand slam home run in the seventh inning.
In the final game, the score was tied 0-0 after seven innings. The Jayhawkers had men on third base in three innings, but could not bring the run home. Jerry Waldschmidt pitched for KU and limited the Cyclones to four hits.
Brian Turner, the Southern Illinois distance ace who finished second in the NCAA three-mile last summer, won his speciality but not until after a strong challenge by KU's Paul Acevedo. The two ran abreast down the back stretch and around the last curve, but Turner pulled 10 yards ahead coming down the home stretch. Turner had also competed in the mile run and had been barely nosed out by Cornell.
The Jayhawkers did not win a single running event, but neither did the Salukis win a field event. KU's Martin and Cornell shared the scoring honors, each winning two events. Martin won the triple jump in addition to the broad jump.
The KU fans did cheer on one running event. In the freshman 100-yard dash, Bob Hansen shot out of his starting blocks and ran 9.5, which tied the freshman record held by Paul Williams. Close behind was teammate Doug Dienelt who ran 9.7.
The freshmen won their end of the dual meet by winning five of the six events to capture a 33-17 victory; John Donner won the mile in 4:20.1. Bill Saul, the 880-yard run in 1:56.0 and John Lawson the two mile in 9:27.8.

Foltz, by the way, won the singles championship in the Big Eight Conference meet held here last year. Foltz handed Burns one of two losses the KU player has had this year when they met at Oklahoma State in the Jayhawks' second meet of the season.
Del Campbell, No. 1 KU player, was chatting with Burns after the match. Campbell, Lawrence senior, suggested the name of another Big Eight player who might be able to beat Miss Hanks.
"I don't know about that," Burns said. "You just don't wear her out. She'd probably beat him."
Miss Hanks, who plans to compete in the Wimbledon tournament in England as soon as the school year ends, said she guessed it was all right

"Most athletic directors don't want girls to compete with men," the blonde said. "It was our athletic director's idea at our school that I compete on the team. I had never thought of it until he (Harry Burris) said something about it."
