SHORT SHOTS

Kansan Sports Writer
The atmosphere that existed Monday morning in the KU basketball offices in the Allen Field House annex exemplified the current status of the Jayhawk recruiting program for next
year.
Ted Owens
Coach Ted Owens said in the midst of a busy and somewhat hectic office routine that the recruiting program for next year was still in high gear in hopes of landing a couple of additional prospects.
To date KU has signed five players but only one is a frontliner.
"At this point we are still looking for a couple of forwards,' Owens said.
As Owens talked of the need of signing at least two more big men, assistant coaches Gale Cat-
lett and Sam Miranda busily prepared themselves to leave for another recruiting trip.
The lone big man is Bill Kosick, a 6-11 center from Chicago's New Trier East High School. An all-state prep performer his senior year, Kosick is regarded as a prospect with great future possibilities.
"Bill's basketball is ahead of him," Owens said indicating that he is a late-comer. "You know we have gotten players like him before, such as Walt Wesley."
But with the abundance of big men currently listed on next year's Jayhawk varsity roster, Owens makes no secret that his present recruiting objectives center on backliners.
"We are looking for excellent backcourt play," Owens said in reference to the four prep guards that have already inked their national letters-of-intent with KU.
The most celebrated of the four is Tom Kivisto, brother of Bob Kivisto, the Jayhawks' starting guard this past season. Regarded as one of the nation's elite prospects, young Kivisto broke many of brother Bob's high school records while playing for coach and father Ernie Kivisto.
Among his school records are 340 assists in one year and 802 for three seasons, 837 points for one season and 1,757 for three seasons, 134 steals for one season and 306 steals for a career and 56 points scored in a single game.
There is no question that KU is in need of guards. But the need may have become greater after a Tuesday announcement said that Aubrey Nash, a sophomore backliner who was a part-time starter this past year, was arrested for tire theft. Owens is known as a strict disciplinarian and if Nash is found guilty it will be interesting to see if the 6-2 Washington, D.C. product is representing the Crimson and Blue next year.

All-time Big Eight Conference bests in the shot put, discus, pole vault, and high jump are distinct possibilities as an extremely strong field-events field is turned loose this Friday and Saturday at the league's outdoor championship at the University of Kansas.
Field records in danger in Big 8 track meet
Already this year, top efforts in the 63-year history of the Conference have been recorded by defending champions Doug Knop and Karl Salb. Knop, who is shooting for a "triple" in the discus, has thrown the plate 203-10—the current Conference-meet record is 192-8. Meanwhile Salb has flipped the shot put 67-5½—the record is 60-34%.
In the pole vault, four have been over 16 feet and one, Mike Wedman of Colorado, has cleared 17. The all-time league high is $17-0\frac{1}{2}$ -set two years ago at the Kansas Relays by Colorado's Chuck Rogers—and the record is a lofty 16-8.
Three times this season, Kansas State's Ray McGill has scaled 7-1 in the high jump. As yet, though, he has not been able to get that other inch to gain Conference supremacy in the event. The three leaps, though, are all an inch better than the current league mark of 7-0.
Kansas' trio of Knop, Salb, and Steve Wilhelm is expected to dominate the shot and discus again, while Kansas State's stable of javelin throwers ranks high.
Last year, Knop flipped the discus a record 192-8. Also last year, it was Salb and Wilhelm finishing second and third. It is expected to be that way again this time, too. In fact, Salb is bound to be quite a bit of competition for Knop. He's thrown the plate 190-3, too close to the record for Knop's comfort, despite the fact Knop has that 203-10 superlative effort to his credit
In the shot, it will be Wilhelm putting the pressure on Salb as they chase the 60-3/4 record, set back in 1956 by Kansas Olympian, Bill Nieder, a mark which is a virtual cinch to fall.
Salb has a best this year of $67-5\frac{1}{2}$, indoors. Outdoors, his top is a $66-11\frac{3}{4}$. Wilhelm has thrown $64-0\frac{1}{2}$—it was that delivery which gave him the title at the Texas Relays. Knop, who has forsaken the shot so far to concentrate on the discus, is capable of crossing 60 feet, too.
Chief challengers, outside the Kansas trio, in the discus include Colorado's Rory Kenward, Oklahoma State's Jim Benien, and Iowa State's George Amundson, all of whom rate in the 170 class. In the shot, Benien, Ne-
COLUMBIA, Mo. (UFP)—Missouri football coach Dan Devine said Tuesday he might rotate two quarterbacks next fall.
Tigers may rotate QB's
"As of right now," said Devine, "I think we'll go with a two-quarterback system this fall unless one of them really comes along in fall practice."
Roper underwent successful surgery in St. Louis last weekend on his right shoulder. Devine said Roper's arm would be immobilized for four weeks before he could begin reconditioning it.
Farmer missed some practices this spring with a sprained ankle. The last workout was held Tuesday as players who didn't see much action in the Black-Gold game last Friday raced through a game type scrimmage.
The two leading candidates, Chuck Roper and Mike Farmer, both missed parts of spring practice because of injuries.

Russell wins Allen Award
Pierre Russell, 6-3 junior guard from Kansas City, has been named winner of the Dr. Forrest C. Allen Award as the Jayhawks' outstanding basketball player.
Russell was the Jayhawks' No. 2 scorer and rebounder with an average of 13.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game last season.
Earlier this year Russell was named to the second-team All-Big Eight squad and was also named the Most Valuable Player in the initial Jayhawk Classic.
The winner is determined each year by the vote of squad members.

Left-handed Sam Colson of Kansas has been consistently in the 220's, but has one long shot, a 238-7 which let him best Ross at the Drake Relays. Oklahoma's Dennis Mathies and Rob Balsters have also been in the 225 range, while Maxwell and Collins have had their troubles getting untracked, settling for marks around 215.
Kansas State, with Mike Ross, Roger Collins, and Bruce Maxwell, swept three of the first four spots in the javelin last year. Ross leads this season with a best of 244-10 $ \frac{1}{2} $ , well under the record 256-10 held by Jayhawk Bill Alley.
On a clear day, it is hard telling what McGill might do in the high jump. It is no secret that the classy Kansas Stater doesn't like to practice his specialty when it is wet—he needs a dry planting spot for his takeoff heel as he approaches the bar.

Closest anyone has been to McGill so far this year is a 6-10 leap by Oklahoma State's George Holland in the opening meet outdoors. Just a week ago, Missouri's Leon Miller, and Nebraska's Dan Brooks and Howard Burns all hit seasonal bests of 6-9.

Coloradoans are hoping the big guy-Wedman goes 6-5 and 195—maybe found the range again last week with a 16-0 trip in a dual against Nebraska. If he has, the event could pull down to a dual between himself and Kansas' Jan Johnson, a little guy in comparison at 5-10 and 160, who holds the pole higher than most vaulters in the country.
