Scoops on SPORTS By Steve Clark
LEFT-OVERS FROM THE KANSAS Relays: Jim Miller, the Colorado sophomore who won the 400-meter hurdles, anchored the winning 440- and 880-yard relay teams and finished second in the 120-yard high hurdles and was voted the most outstanding athlete award, did so despite a broken toe.
The toe did not bother Miller as was obvious. As a matter of fact, Miller is not even sure how he suffered the fracture. Miller also carried a scar from a previous injury. He had to have four stitches taken in his head at the Texas Relays as the result of a fall.
DAVE EDSTROM, who dethroned five time defending champion Phil Mulkey, had a chance for a KU Relays record, but purposely did not go all out for the record. He scored 7,423 points, which was 57 points short of the record.
He remarked after the meet that he, of course, wanted to win, but did not want to break the record. Since he and Mulkey were teammates on the U.S. Olympics team and are friends, Edstrom did not want to undo in one year what Mulkey had done in five.
Edstrom said that he would go after the record if he came back to the Relays next year.
FALSE PREDICTION: A member of Drake's two mile relay team said he expected victory previous to Saturday's afternoon race in which the Jayhawkers won by defeating Missouri.
The runner said that he expected the toughest competition to come from Texas and Nebraska and that the time would be under 7:33.
...
The prediction fell somewhat short as Drake finished fourth. Nebraska was third and of course, Kansas and Missouri was first and second.
OVERHEARD: a remark concerning KU senior Kirk Hagan, who turned in a tremendous anchor half-mile in the two-mile relay to overcome Big Eight 880 yard champion Greg Pelfster to win the race.
The remark: "Hagan had better have won that race. After all, his picture was in the Kansan three times Friday. I'm glad he did something to earn it."
Comment: Hagan's accomplishments have been newsworthy ever since he became eligible for varsity competition when he was a sophomore.

KU's Title Hopes Still Alive
The Oklahoma Sooners, who were not even given serious consideration for first division in pre-season pills, stand atop the Big Eight baseball standings with a perfect 9-0 record.
Close behind is the defending conference champion, the Missouri Tigers with an 8-1 record. Third place Colorado, which was tied with Oklahoma going into last weekend's action, saw its bubble burst when Missouri won all three games of the series.
THE KANSAS Jayhawkers are in fourth place with a 5-4 record as a result of their three game sweep
The Jayhawkers and the Cowboys will face each other in a three game series here Friday and Saturday. The teams will play two seven inning games Friday and one nine-inning game on Saturday.
over the Kansas State Wildcats at Manhattan. Fifth are the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who pushed the Tigers all the way last year and finished second. The Cowboys were one of the pre-season favorites for the title.
TO STAY IN serious consideration for the title, the Jayhawkers must win all three games. The Cowboys have all but eliminated themselves from any title chances.
Other games this weekend include Missouri at Kansas State, Colorado at Oklahoma and Iowa State at Nebraska.

Pro Gridder Wins World Eating Title
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — (UP1) — Ernie Ladd, the biggest man in professional football, today was the world's heavyweight eating champion following a gluttonous foray in which he consumed $ 19 \frac{1}{2} $ pounds of food.
The 6-foot-9, 321-pound San Diego Charger tackle and challenger Nick Cordileone, 5-foot-8, 268-pound fisherman, squared off last night and came out burping before a noisy, cheering crowd of 1,500 at the U.S. Grant Hotel.
The gastronomical competitors, crossing knives and forks on a raised platform before the fans who paid $1 each to charity, were nip and tuck through the lobster tails, tossed green salad, spaghetti and meat balls, mashed potatoes, green vegetables and prime rib.
