Shatter four school records
Track team captures Oklahoma City indoor
KU's indoor track team, off to a flying start with a smashing victory in the Oklahoma City Invitational, makes its only home appearance of the season Friday night when the Jayhawks host Wichita State and Southern Illinois at Allen Field House.
The meet opens at 5:30 p.m. as the long jump kicks off the field events. The mile run, first of 10 races, goes to the post at 7:30.

Bob Timmons' Jayhawks shattered four school records, tied a fifth and turned in a total of 16 life-time best performances.
Coach Bob Timmons, whose team brought home a NCAA indoor track title only last year, was quite pleased with his team's early showing. Timmons said, "We looked very, very good for our first time out."
Court undecided on reserve clause
NEW YORK (UPI)—A federal judge listened to arguments from both sides yesterday, then announced he would withhold an immediate decision on the attack on the reserve clause of professional baseball brought by outfielder Curt Flood.
Flood, 32, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals for the past 12 years, had objected to being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies during the off-season. His suit challenges baseball's rule that binds a player to the team he originally signs with—or to any team to which he is sold or traded.
Former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, who represented Flood in arguments before U.S. District Judge Irving Ben Cooper, said Flood is willing to play for St. Louis with or without a contract, until the court makes a decision in the case.
This was to counter an offer by Mark Hughes, attorney for the

Philadelphia club, who had said Flood could appear for practice with the Phillies and play games without prejudicing his law suit.
Judge Cooper thanked both sides for the clarification in which they presented the legal aspects of the case. He concluded: "You have thrown the ball to me, and I hope I don't fluff it."
Goldberg said Flood is not asking for damages, but wants an injunction restraining the use of the reserve clause in trading him to the Philies.
"Flood does not want to be thrown in to servitude," the justice said. Goldberg added that the player wants to stay in St. Louis, where he lives and has a business.
Goldberg also told the court Flood is not asking for retroactive results but only for a modified reserve clause to govern future dealings between clubs and players.
Goldberg said four fundamental issues are involved. The clause, he said, violates U.S. antitrust laws, the 13th amendment of the Constitution, state antitrust laws, and state common laws wherever baseball is played.
Jan Johnson, sophomore pole vaulter from Chicago Heights, Ill., added more than a foot to his previous indoor best as he whipped world record-holder and Olympian Bob Seagren with a school record hoist of 16-6 1/4. Seagren was second at 16-0.
Johnson's former career high indoors had been 15-6, although he soared 16-4 outdoors in winning last year's Kansas Relays. The vault also broke a school record held by Bob Steinhoff of 16-11# in 1968.
Karl Salb, the national collegiate shot put king, opened his junior campaign impressively with a winning toss of 66-10. The heave eclipsed his previous best of 66-8% that won him the NCAA indoor crown at Detroit last year.
Two of KU's classy group of newcomers also broke in impressively with new school records, although they were forced to settle for second place finishes.
Freshman Marvin Foster, who doubles as a football player in the fall, turned in a clocking of 30.6 seconds for the 300-yard dash. Foster's time wiped out the Jayhawk record of 30.7 set last winter by Julio Meade and chased Oklahoma State's Earl Harris to an American record of 30.4 in winning the race.
Foster also led off KU's mile relay team that cracked the school record with a winning 3:15.5 and ran a 440 leg with the distance medley team that finished second to Houston. Foster turned in a 48.8 off the blocks for his mile relay carry and a 48.2 clocking in the distance medley.
Junior college transfer Mike Bates tied the existing school record by running the 60-yard high hurdles in 7.1. Bates took second behind Paul Gibson of Texas-El Paso, who hit a 7 flat time.
