Although the University of Kansas won last year's Big Eight Outdoor Track Championship by a whopping 98 points, Jayhawks to repeat that margin this year.
The Jayhawks, who have won the last ten outdoor meets, will host this year's Championships May 20 and 21 in Memorial Stadium.
The meet will be one of three KU will participate in following the end of the spring season. The meet will be the United States Track and Field Championships May 27 and 28 in Wichita and the NCAA Outdoor Championships June 11 at the University of Illinois in Champaign.
ON PAPER, the Jayhawks stiffen challenge in this year's conference meet. Oklahoma. The Sooners led by far the best any of the Big Eight schools on the three-week Melais circuit, and figure move up considerably from their fifth-place finish at U.S.A.
KU won this year's conference indoor meet by 15 points, 76-61, over OUI.
KU HEAD coach Bob Timmons thinks the Sooners will be the team to beat, but he's also concerned about the heat of his own squad.
The conference meet will be run predominantly in meters, and possibly will have electronic timing. Only two rules, the mile, are run in the conference meet.
Two Jayhawks counted on to score points in the conference meet - George Mason in the distance events and 3,000-meter steeplechase and Tommy McCall in the 800-missed last Saturday's meet with Kansas State because of illness.
In addition, long and triple jumper Mike Wilk is recovering from a leg injury.
Only four individual champions return from last year's meet, three of whom are from Missouri. Two should be favored to repeat.
DELE UO of MU hold the fastest time in the conference in the 400, the event he won last year. He should receive a strong offer from senior Jay Wagner, the indoor 800 champ.
Udo's best time this season is 45.77 seconds, with Wagner's best 46.46. Oklahoma freshman Dryk Dahl has run a 42.0.
In the high jump, Missouri's Nat Page will return to defend his title. Page is leading the field in his event, clearing a season best of 7-3. The only other high jumper in the conference over seven feet was Katie McCarthy (7-1) and Steve Kueb of Iowa State at 7-0.
The Tiger's other defending champ,
Peppi Whittaker in the long jump, has the
third best jump in the conference this
season at 25-04. KU freshman Jay Reardon
the kansas Relays with a leap of 26-5.
OU's Mike Pleasant is second at 25-5.
KANSAS' ANTHONY Coleman is the meet's other defending champion. He won the 10-meter high hurdles last year as a junior and was best time, 13.7, in the conference this year.
KU won both relays a year ago, but only have one member of each team returning—Coleman in the 440-relay and Wagner in the mile.
KU's Cliff Wiley holds the best time in the conference in both the 10th and 200-meter dashes. Of the six top times in the 100, three KU athletes and three by Okhaloma athletes.
If McCall is healthy, he figures to
challenge OU's Randy Wilson and K-State's Bob Prince in the 800. Wilson has a season and conference best of 1:46,06, which he recorded at the Drake Relays when he upset favored Mike Boit and Rick Wohlhuter to win.
THE SOONERS' Stan Vanson leads the
team in second place, 10-8. KU's
Glen Harper in second and the 10-6.
Other KU performers leading the conference in their respective events are John Roscoe in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and Jim Pobrebarac in the shot put. KU has posted the two fastest times in the 440-yard and mile relays.
KU athletes who have qualified for the NCAA Outdoor meet are Wiley in the 100 and 200; Wagner in the 400; McCall in the 800; Roscoe and Mason in the 3,000-meter steelcage; Coleman in the 110-meter high hurdler; Rainbelt and Reardon in the 110-meter long jump; Tad Scales in the pole vault, and Podrobacar in the shot put.
KU has also qualified its 440-yard and mile relay teams.
Dick Hertel defeated Kim Loving, 6-3, 7-6,
yesterday to win the men's singles
championship in a tournament among KU law
students.

Homer leads Angels to win over Royals
University Daily Kansan
KANSAS CITY (AP)—Terry Humphrey his first home run of the year and fourth of his five-year major career while Dave Chakk and Bruce Bochte collected three hits apiece, leading the California Angels to a 5-2 loss over the Kansas City Royals last night.
The Angels were leading 2-1 with two unearned runs thanks to an error by Kansas second base Frank White when Huntman threw out a wild pitch and shot in the fourth. Gl Flores, one of
three batters hit by pitches from Colborn, scored ahead of Humphrey.
Paul Hartzell relieved winner Wayne Simpson, 2-4, with Fred Patchek on first and yielded soft singles to Pea LcCock and Tom Poquette. Hal McRae then bounced into a double play and Hartzell forced Al Cowens to fly out.
