Hope To Defend Their
National Indoor Titles
(Note: This is the third of
a four-part scries on Big Eight
Conference track, leading up
to the indoor championships,
Friday and Saturday, in Kan
sas City's Municipal Auditori
um. I'nc fourth feature will

two-mile runs.)
KANSAS CITY, MO. - An
abundance of gold catches the
eye this year in the 440, 600,
and 880 lineups at the Big
Eight Conference indoor
championships, this Friday
and Saturday in Kansas City's
Municipal Auditorium.
In each of these three
events, a defending national
champion will be matching
skills with a defending Confer
ence indoor or outdoor cham
pion. This adds up to six lead
ers, two for each event, and
six gold medal performances
last year. Something will have
to give since only one gold
medal for each event will be
available Saturday.
Kansas State's Don Payne
(outdoor 400 meters), Iowa
State's Steve Carson (Indoor
600), and Oklahoma State's
Tom Von Ruden (indoor 880)
are the national titalists. Ok
lahoma's Bill Calhoun (o u t
door 440), Lee Calhoun (in
door 440), Lee Calhoun (indoor
600), and Oklahoma State's
John Perry (outdoor 880) are j
the Big Eight champions.
This stride-for-stride-match
ing situation could provide for
new Conference records : in
each event. A matching of this
year's best times for the lead
ers is all that is needed to
break these marks at the 38th
annual championships.
Because of the nature of
the three events all have to

including the 880 because of
the blistering times turning up
in the event they are hard to
explore. These are the events
in which coaches move their
men like pawns in search of
additional points a spot to
strike in quest of the t e a m
title.
By Conference legislation,
each team may enter five
men in the 440 and 600, three
in one race and two in the oth
er, depending upon where
each coach feels his strength
(and athletes' best chances)
lies. (A similar limitation is
applied to the 880 and 1,000-
yard run.)
880-Yard Run
A little more semblence of
order can be made out of the
880 field. Just toss out a few
Oklahoma State names, mak
ing sure Von Ruden and Per
ry are included, and a fair
field is formed without even
considering a pair of Kansas
Staters.
Neither Perry nor Von Ru
den led the 880 parade going
into the last weekend of dual
meets. That honor belonged to
Wes Dutton. a Kansas State
junior who missed last season
because of a broken foot. Cut
ton has a 1:52.6.
And, right behind him is the
Wildcats' Charles Harper with
a 1:53.9 second-place time in
the same meet. Also a serious
contender is Missouri's Char
lie Conrad, the winner In the
event two yearsago. He has a
best so far of 1:55.1, which
puts him just behind Kansas'
Lowell Paul.
Then there is the Oklahoma
State contingent, spearheaded
by Von Ruden. Perry, and
Jim Metcalf, three members

two-mile relay team. Joining
this tnreesome in a new at
tempt to lower the internation
al relay standard is Arnold
Droke.
At the Federation Invita
tional, this quarter won going
away, with Metcalf s carry
being recorded in 1:52.7 and
Von Ruden's anchor sprint in
1:51.4.
Mile Relay
The closing event of all
meets, and the one this year
which could decide the team
championship in what is ex
pected to be one of the wild
est scrambles in Conference
history, has to be just as close
as the three individual
events 440, 600, and 880
which supply the combatants.
Oklahoma has logged t h e
best time so far with its grey
hounds reporting in at 3:20.0.
Tom Melton, Jim Hamilton,
Jim Hardwick, and Bill Cal
houn combined to record the
mark which is only two sec
onds off the Conference stand
ard. However, Ralph Higgins of
Oklahoma State says: "They
won't take the mile relay
away from us this year." He
used Droke. Larrv Linn. Von
Ruden, and Mickey Miller to
edge Nebraska's crack unit
of Tom Millsap, Dennis Walk
er, Ron Lee, and Crook at the
New Mexico triangular, 3:21.3
to 3:21.6.
These might not be the
units running Saturday, b h t
it is a cinch those built by the
contenders at that stage of
tfhe meet will be potent, made
up of what amounts to one of
the best aggregations of
sprinters ever available in
the league.

Phi Kappa
Siff Nu's In
By Bob Flasnick
In a battle of the undefeated
Tuesday night, Phi Kappa Psi
A handed Sigma Nu A its first
loss of the season, 58-49, in
intramural basketball tourna
ment action.
The powerful P h i Psi's
jumped to a six point first
quarter advantage, but the
hot hand' of Sigma Nu's Bob
Witte connected for 11 points
in the second quarter to lead
Sigma Nu to a 31-28 halftime
advantage.
When Witte cooled off in the
second half the Phi Psi's be
gan to pull away with the
help of Larry Wachholtz's six
point third quarter.
Wachholtz finished with 13
for the Phi Psi's and team
mate Kon h"oggemeyer, a
safety on the Husker football
team like Wachholtz, had ele
ven. Gary Niebauer got 12 and
John Kammerzell 11 in the
evenly distributed Phi Psi
scoring attack. Bill Marshall
played a consistent game un
der the boards and helped the
winners tashion a 14 for 18
mark at the free throw line.
Witte was high scorer for
the Sigma Nu's with 19 points
followed by Don Frolio with
14. The jumping antics of Sig
ma Nu's Gary Sanford helped
him to get 10 points and to
block about as many shots.
The loss drops Sigma Nu in
to the losers bracket of the
tournament, but its quite
possible the two powerhouses
will meet again before the
tournament ends.

K-State
Closing
Fast
Manhattan, Kan. Lurking
in the shadow of both Nebras
ka and Kansas, the Kansas
State Wildcats continue their
frantic bid for showdown ac
tion following six straight Big
Eight wins. K-State faces
hot and cold Oklahoma this
Saturday at Norman, Okla.,
before meeting the paceset
ting CornhuskerF at Lincoln,
Nebr., on Tuesday (March 1).
The Wildcats and Sooners
will tipoff in OU Fieldhouse at
8:05 p.m., with the K-State
and Nebraska contest starting
at 7:35 p.m. in the Coliseum.
Coach Tex Winter credits
K-State's pesky man-for-man
defense and the consistent
play of Earl Seyfert, a 6-7
sophomore foreard, as being
responsbile for already a bet
ter season than 1964-65. Over
all, the Wildcats stand 13-8 for
the campaign, compared to
a 12-13 finish last year.
Of course, K-State is far
ahead of last year's victory
pace in conference play. A
5-9 club a year ago, tfhe Wild
cats carry an 8-2 loop mark
into Saturday night's game
with the Sooners.
Oklahoma. 9-13 overall and
5-6 in Big Eight play, enter
the contest needing a win to
spark first-division aspira
tions. The Sooners were
trounced 86-69 by KU on Alon
day night.
Seyfert, a late-comer f o r
the Wildcats this season, has
been the leading pointniakcr
for K-State in five of the wins
and tied with Ron Paradis for
top honors Monday night.
The reticent southpaw is av
eraging 17 points a game since
returning to the starting line
up. Harrassing Wildcat guards,
ball-shagging forwards and
stout center Roy Smith have
combined to make K-State's
defense among the best in the
nation. Opponents have been
held to an average of 57.3
points a game during the six
game streak.
