The University of Kansas track team, dominating the field events and sprints, rolled to a 99-55 victory in a dual meet with Kansas State in Manhattan Saturday.
The Jayhawks, who now have won every outdoor meet this season in which team scores were kept, swept five of the eighteen events en route to the victory.
Leading the way for KU was freshman Jay Rearad, who picked up victories in the high jump, long jump and triple jump. KU swept all three places in the high jump, shot put, discus and the 100- and 200-meter dashes.
THE DUAL meet was KU's last competition before the conference May 20
"It's hard for me to tell at this point, but we're really concerned about Oklahoma.
"Okahama will be the team to beat, and there will be some other schools that will play."
"I didn't know what to expect," "Hummers had. We had some kids sick and I was kind of scared."

"I think it's good to get the team back in a team atmosphere," Bob Timmons, head coach, said yesterday. "You want to win that conference." But you that will hurt you in the conference."
"We didn't play that well in the first game," KU court Bob Stanley said, "but we made a lot of saves."
The KU softball team overcame any bad effects of its two-week layoff to sweep a doubleheader from the University of Nebraska-Omaha Saturday at Omaha.
The Jayhawks won the first game, S-2,
extending pitcher Shelley Stainclair's record
from 5-1 to 6-2.
SINCLAIR WAS the catalyst in the game getting two hits in three trips to the plate. She drove in two runs with a double in the sixth
After Sinclair gave up two early runs, the Jayhawks trailed 2-1 going into the sixth inning. They erupted for five hits—four in the first and that were good for four runs and the win.
Gloria Graves raised her record to 9-4 as the Jayhawks ripped the Mavericks, 9-1, in the second game. She held UN-Omaha to two bits.
In all, the Jayhawks collected 15 hits in the game.
Graves and Julie Woodman led KU batters, both going three-for-four at the plate. Graves connected on a two-run home game, and the game ended the game with three runs-batted-in.
KU catcher Paula Woolworth made her first appearance since being injured in the state tournament two weeks ago. She played the entire second game.
"PAULA LOOKS like she's back to 100 per cent," Stanclift said, "and that's a big relief."
Karen Epperson caught the first game.
"I was surprised at how good we looked in
the second game," Stancill said. "We got
some good hitting from the latter part of
the batting order. In fact we got eight hits from
the last five persons in the order."
THE JAYHAWKS looked so good at the stall. Stavleck said, that the U-OMaha team was doing well.
much," he said, "but they just didn't look as sharp as they have been. They did not have the same velocity on the ball. They just don't have that fine edge anymore, and they don't have that hard edge."
"They came over after the game," he said, "and asked whether we always hit like that. You know you did well when you impress the other team.
Among those missing the meet were Tommy McCall, George Mason and Mike Wilk. McCall and Mason were sick. Wilk is suffering from a leg injury.
Stancliff said Graves and Sinclair needed more practice to be ready for regionals.
DESPITE ALL the missing performers, KU had little trouble with the Wildcats, who also have had their share of adversity this year.
The Jayhawks appearance will be in the regional tournament, which starts Thursday
KU's power in the field events and the sprints paved the way for the victory. The Hawks won every field event except the invelin, where they finished two-three.
Jim Podebracarre was the shot put and the disc, although teammate Dong Roheart (79) made the shot.
"We were allowed only three entries in each event," Timmons explained, "and we entered Podrebacara, Doug Barrington, and Richard Foster in the disc. I told Rofhefat he could throw but it would be on a non-scoring basis.
"AND THEN who wins the thing?
Roffheart."
Roffett's throw, 153-6, was 28-6 farther than his previous personal best. Podrebarcas' official winning throw was 152-10%.
Other winner's for KU were Jay Wagner in the 400 meters, where he ran 47.1 seconds and Rossi in the 350 meters, Randy Benson; John Roscoe in the 3,000 meter steeplechase; Cliff Wiley in the 100 meters; Kevin Newell in the 200; Jimmy Cunningham in the 190 hurdles and Tad Scales in the pole vault.
Rearard's winning marks were 22-11-4 in the long jump, in the triple jump and in the high jump.

What was surprising was the ease of the Cyclone's fourth championship in the fourth round. (Ashley)
kansas state, Big Eight runnerup for the past three years, had hoped to end the Cyclone's reign. But the Wildcats' 151 points were well short of Iowa State's 218.
Cyclones take Big 8 title
Missouri, with a strong showing in the field events, slipped into third place with 68 points. Nebraska placed fourth with 54 and Kansas fifth with 44.
ONLY THREE Bigh Eight outdoor records held up under the barrage of the strongest winds in history.
Iowa State displayed its strength by placing at least two women in 11-of-14 individual events, and by winning 3-6-4 relay to score to serve in only one event, the shot out.
Debbie Esser, Debbie Vetter and Carol Cook, who combined for 64 points in individual events and relays, led the way for the Cyclones.
ESER, RATED No. 1 in the nation in the 400-meter hurdle, won the event with a time of 58.7, which bettered the Big Eight mark of 61.59 she set last year. She also broke her own record in the 100-meter hurdle, winning with a 14.0 clocking.
Vetter was second to Esser in the 400-meter hurdles and she won the 800 meters, running a 2:07.0 to shatter the Big Eight race in 1.73 set by Peq Neppel of Iowa in 1975.
Cook won the 5,000 meters Friday, and Saturday she easily won the two-mile and one-kilometer races.
Another record-breaking Cyclone was Dana Lance, who bettered the high jump record.
Rugby season ends
KU, 5-12 for the season, defeated River Quay, 9-0 in its opener, but was eliminated from the tournament by a 9-0 loss to the Kansas City Blues.
ine KU Rugby Club ended its spring season Saturday with a victory and a loss at the World Cup.
In the victory over River Quay, Rick Renfro scored the only try of the game and Jack Summers added the two extra points. A six-foot drop on a 30-yard drop kick by Roger Walter.
K-STATE'S CHRISTY Tumberger and Linda Long also broke records in the field events. Tumberger topped the previous best in the shot put with a heave of 45-84 and Long shattered the disc record of 128-9 by throwing 145-1%.
The Kansas City Blues failed to cross the goal but three penalty kicks waged into the end.
"We played really well," KU coach Joe Kieltta said. "We weren't happy with our record this spring, but we were happy with our team. We should be in good shape for the fall season."
Iowa State broke his own record of 36.58 in the mile relay, winning in 34.79. The Cyclones also won the 400-meter relay and the two-mile relay but K-State, with an outstanding anchor from Cindy Worcester, Iowa State at the tape in the sprint medley.
As expected, KU was strong in the scoring 42 points in races up to 400 meters.
Sheila Calmese turned in the top KU performance. She won both the 100 and 200-meter dashes and ran the anchor on KU's third-place 400 relay team.
CALMESE TWICE won off K-State's Jan Smith, winning the 20 in 24.3, her season's best, and the 109 in 11.5 Smith ran a 24.7 in the 20 and 119 in the 100.
"My time was good," Calmese said. "I
think 11.5 won nationals last year but I think
mine will get better. I haven't peaked at
it.
KU's other national-class spinner, Charmane Kuhman, ran into problems Saturday in the 400-meter finals after winning her preliminary heat Friday with a
After running the third leg on the 400 relay Kuhlman had to report immediately for the lift.
Sue Haynes of the State upset Ukuhman in the 400, but the KU spinner said the man was good.
"I DIDN'T have enough time to get ready," Kuhlman said. "I like to have time to think about the race and how I'm going to run it.
Kuhman also won her preliminary heat in the 200 Friday but she placed fourth in the final.
"Friday I was fresh, it was a nice day and I was hungry. Today I wasn't read and I walked out."
