SHORT SHOTS
Neal Steinhauer, world indoor shot put recordholder, has informed KU Relays director Bob Timmons that he will not be able to compete in the Relays' special shot put event. The invitational shot put, slated for 3 p.m. Saturday, still sports a talented field that includes outdoor record-holder Randy Matson, KU acres Karl Salb and Steve Wilhelm and Emporia State's Al Feuerbach.
Rex Maddaford, Eastern New Mexico distance ace from New Zealand, was excused from competing in a triangular meet this past weekend to rest up for the KU Relaws.
Maddaford will be aiming at the Relays' three-mile record of 13:50.6 after winning by a "country mile" at the Texas Relays in 13-23.3. Maddaford also captured the mille title at Texas to be the meet's only double winner and was voted the outstanding performer of his division.

Abilene Christian, a perennial track power from the west Texas plains, returns to the Kansas Relays this week to end a five-year absence from the Jayhawk carnival.

Cyclones, OU top Big Eight standings
By United Press International
2. United Press International Larry Corrigan was the third-best hitter in the Big Eight Conference last year as a freshman. He was a 380 hitter. He also was a catcher.
Normally, a .380-hitting catcher is left alone. But Iowa State coach Cap Timm, analyzing his team, said, "We've got to fill our pitching void." And Corrigan was elected.
The 6-3, Mendota, Ill., product delivered in spectacular fashion Saturday. He went the distance and pitched a five-hitter, winning the first game of a doubleheader against Missouri, 5-1. In the nightcap he caught until the third inning, when he returned to the hill in relief, Again, he was the winning pitcher as the Cyclones scored a 16-9 victory
Corrigan also did his share with the bat, lashing a single, double and grand-slam home run in the second game.
The victories gave Iowa State a
weekend sweep of Missouri—the Cyclones captured a 1-0 decision Friday and vaulted Timm's team to the top of the conference standings, along with Oklahoma, which also swept KU. Both have 3-0 conference records.
Key series this week will be Oklahoma at Nebraska and Colorado at Iowa State.
