Three Teams Favored At Big Eight Indoor
A three-way battle for the Big Eight indoor track title is expected tonight and tomorrow at Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium.
Preliminaries and semi-finals in qualifying events will be held tonight, in addition to the finals in the broad jump. The finals in all other events will be tomorrow night.
NEBRASKA. Missouri and KU are the pre-meet favorites. In a down-to-the-last-event finish last year, the Jayhawkers won the meet by eleven-twelfs of a point over Nebraska. Oklahoma, not considered a threat for the meet, has won the outdoor titles for the last two years.
Seven first place winners and eight second place winners and a total of 35 place winners from last year will return for KU.
Tickets are available for the meet for $1, $2 and $3.
Here's a breakdown of the events
Reaves Peters, executive director of the conference, reports this year's meet will have one of the greatest arrays of stars in the history of the conference.
POLE VAULT: A great field. KU's Floyd Manning is the pre-meet favorite as he is the only conference vaulter to go over 15-feet. He is expected to face tough competition
KU's Last Home Game Against Tigers Tonight
Sixth place in the Big Eight basketball race is at stake tonight when the Kansas Jayhawkers host the Missouri Tigers in Allen Field House. Tipoff time is 7:30.
The sixth-place Tigers have a 4-8 league record, while the seventh-place Jayhawkers threaten with a 3-9 league mark. If the Jayhawkers win tonight, they must defeat Oklahoma State at Stillwater March 9 to retain sixth place. Missouri has one game remaining against Nebraska at Columbia Wednesday.
FURTHERMORE, KU will be protecting a mark of pride in this 158-game series. Only twice since the Big Eight was formed in 1948, have the Bengals managed to win both conference games, 1955 and 1956. Only in the former year did they score a clean sweep since KU salvaged the Big Eight tournament meeting ahead of the '56 conference encounters.
Missouri won the opening match between the two teams on Jan. 14, 62-56, catching the Jayhawkers on the backend of a two-game trip to Ames and Columbia. The Tigers' 6-7 forward, Ray Bob Carey led the charge with 23 points. The Jayhawkers will be stronger this time since they have added $6 - 3/1$ Al Correll at the semester. The Philadelphia senior hit his career high of 18 the last time he faced the Tigers which was in the 1961 finale.
Tonight's game will mark the home windup for four seniors, ace guard Nolen Ellison, who'll be shooting for a new career scoring record for Jayhawker backliners (Jerry Gardner holds the present mark at 1030); forward Jim Dumas; reserve center John Matt and reserve forward Loye Sparks.
MISSOURI'S Ken Doughty could revamp a couple of the Tiger's free-throwing records in his last two
games. Doughty already has a better one-season and career free-throw percentage than Norm Stewart, an All America in 1956.
Going into tonight's game he has made 84.3 per cent (65 of 77) of his free throws. His career mark from the line is 80 per cent (200 of 250).
Stewart, now basketball coach at State College of Iowa, made 83 percent of his charity tries in the 1954-55 season — and scored 76 per cent over a three-year stretch.
CURIOUSLY. Doughty is some-what unorthodox in his free throwing. He delivers the shot from a spot that is left of center of the foul line.
For Doughty, this MU-KU game stacks him against Ellison the clever Jayhawk backliner, for the last time. Both are seniors — cool, cagey and colorful.
Ellison has a 16 point average, while Doughty is averaging 11.7 per game this year with a career total of 854 points.
from Oklahoma State's Mickey Baller, who has vaulted 14-11, and from Colorado's Roger Olander and Kansas State's Dave Walker, all who have shown promises of reaching 15 feet.
He is third among Tiger scorers just behind Ray Bob Carey, with a 14.1 average, and Bob Price, with a 12.5 average. Carey's 48-point spread practically cinches the scoring crown for the 6-7 junior.
HURDLES: With several doing .07.4 and :07.5, this should be the closest races of all time in this event. Fred Wilke, NU, won second last year and may be hard to beat. He is clocking :06.9 in the lows, but many others are in that same bracket.

MIDDLE DISTANCES: Charles Strong, OS, co-holder of the 440 (46.3) and winner in 1961 and 1962, will have plenty of competition this year. Greg Pelster, MU, last year's winner in the 600, will be back and is running better than ever; he holds the record at 1:11.1, but has run this race in 1:10.6 already this year. Kirk Hagan, KU's two-time winner of the 1000, is back and will need to beat his best time to win from a very strong field. Portee of Nebraska, who was second last year, will also return.

MILE: Stevens, NU, and Riesinger,
KU, second and third last year, will
have terrific competition this year.
TWO MILE: Mike Fleming, NU,
won this event last year in 9:17.6 and
is back. It will take a better effort
than that to win this year over a
strong field. Charles Hayward, KU,
won second last year and Pat McNeal,
K-State, was third; both will be
back, plus a great field of sophomores.
