Track teams win easily
By ROB RAINS
Sports Writer
The Kansas jumpers were the leading performers as the Jayhawk track team run into the record books last night. KU overpowered Oklahoma State and Wichita State to win a triangular meet in Allen Field House.
The Jayhawks, behind the record-breaking performances of Steve Rainbolt, Jay Reardon, Tad Scales and Mike Wilk, won their fifth meet of the season, scoring 112 points to 34 for WSU and 26 for OSU.
The KU women, getting some outstanding marks of their own, established an early lead and defeated Wichita State 70-42 in a game that un concurrently with the men's triangular.
IT APPAREED that man's assistant coach Gary Pepin had given his charges a dose or two of jumping beans as record record fell before the enthusiastic crowd.
First it was Scales, who finally cleared 17 feet in the pole vault, going to 17¼ in his second attempt to give him a personal mark of 17 new individual marks the 'Hawks set.
"That thing's been eluding me since high school," Scales said. "It finally dawned on me that the Big Eight meet was next weekend and I had to set roping."
The high jump provided the most excitement for the crowd as Rainbolt and Reardon both cleared 7-1 to qualify for the finals. The Rainbolt later kept 7-2 to win the sprint.
RAINBOLT'S JUMP tied the KU indoor record and RAINBOLT's outdoor record. RAINBOLT jump was a lifetime best.
Reardon also recorded a personal best in the long jump but placed only second in the event. Wilk, with 15 inches farther than his previous record, went 24-10 to win. Reardon unseated 24-5.
"This was probably the best meet we've had in this field house," coach Bob Timmons said following the meet. "But these marks scare me just a little. We've got to come back and do it next week in the conference meet."
GEORGE MASON also qualified for the NCAA meet in the three-mile run, turning in a time of 3:39.5, a KU record and a Field House mark.
Other Field House records came from Jay Wagner, who ran a 1:10 in the 600; Dave Linderbush, who ran a 2:30 in the 450; Bill Lunderbush of the Chicago Track Club, formerly of KU, with a 2:10 in the 1,000. KU won all but two events, the mile and two-mile run, and it finished second in both
The Jawhays swept the shot put, taking all four places. They finished one and two in the 60-yard high hurdles, the 880 and had two runners tie for first in the 60-yard low jump.
TIMMONS HOPED that last night's meet would enable him to pick his squad for next weekend's Big Eight meet without much trouble. With all of the outstanding performances, however, it may be a little harder than he had planned.
Final swim meet for KU's coach
The swim meet between Kansas and Oklahoma State tomorrow will be an especially important one for the Jayhawks and their fans. The meet, at 2:30 p.m. in Robinson Natorium, will be the last for KU under the direction of head coach Dick Reason, who announced his resignation Tuesday.
Kansas takes a 3-5 dual meet record into tomorrow's contest. The Jawahvers have shown consistency in their past three meets, and will be in the certain areas of the team's performance.
"Three areas that are keen disappointments are the 50-yard freestyle, the 100-yard freestyle and the 200-yard backstroke." Reasonan said. "I think it's more of a mental thing than physical. But what's happening on our face and we just can't do this."
The women's squad performed better than coach Tom Lionvale had expected in pickup win over WSU. He had a few more points could lose by about seven or eight points.
"The atmosphere was infectious tonight." Lionvale said. "Emotion and momentum are such a big part of track and field, and from there we were on and on from there. We cooked all night."

NFL, players close to settlement
NEW YORK (AP) — After more than three years of often-bitter negotiations, the National Football League and its players almost reached labor peace yesterday.
Sargent Karch, executive director of the NFL Management Council, said Ed Garvey, executive director of the players association, jointly announced 'an agreement in principle that a collective agreement between the clubs includes provision for a modified draft.'
THE SETTLEM followed two weeks of intensive talks, first in Washington at player association headquarters and then in New York at the offices of the Management
It was learned that the draft plan calls for a system that includes built-in negotiation time limits, similar to the draft now in use in the National Basketball Association.
That formula grants clubs one-year negotiating rights to drafted players. It allows players who don't sign within that time and don't play professional basketball in another league to return to the list of players for the next year's NBA draft.
THE PLAYERS association has scheduled a meeting of its executive committee for next Thursday. On the committee are President Dick Anderson of the Miami Dolphins, NFC vice president Jared Goff of the AFC and President Gene Uphaw of the Oakland Raiders. Player representatives are scheduled to meet Friday.

The Management Council was trying to arrange a meeting of its executive committee.
Even with early ratification, the college
draft is unlikely to be held before April.
Commissioner Pete Rozele welcomed the agreement, ending a conflict that began when the last collective bargaining agreement expired Jan. 31, 1974.
