(on 'race relations' platform) Kansas City, Mo. As many sq nine Bis Eight Conference indoor track meet records could be broken this week end during the championships in Kansas City's Municioal Auditorium, according to fin si event-rankines going into the meet. Already two all-time indoor Ritr Eieht bests have been beaten and another has been tied. In addition, the differ ence between the leaders in th various events is less than ever before, indicating the keenness of competition for the individual and team titles. 2 already beaten Already bettered are the marks in the mile and the pole vault with Kansas' Jim Ryun and Colorado's Chuck Rogers. Kansas' George By ers has twice equalled his world record in the 60 low hurdles. Trying to figure what events Ryun will end up in is virtually impossible. Which ever he runs, it is for sure that the records for the races are in trouble. He's run a 8:48.6 two mile and a 2:10.7 in the 1,000 to go with his mile all-time league low of 3:57.5. If he doubles, t h e time schedule demands it be the mile for the start. His record on the Auditoriu 'msl2-lap track is an exceptional 3:58.8. If it is the 1,000, he'll be tangling with Missouri's Craig Endicott, the event leader, with a 2:10.2. The rec ord of 2:08.8 could be beaten with Endicott pushing. If it is the 880, he'll be fighting within the tightest of au the events. Less than a second and a half separates the top nine individuals not including Ryun, who hasn't run the half in a dual-meet this year. Morran leads Leader is Nebraska's bright newcomer, Dan Morran, who has logged a 1:53.4. Right with him are Colorado's Paul Ed strom, Oklahoma State's John Cook, and Missouri's Bill Wells. All their times indicate Ryun's record of 1:52.0 is close. If Ryun runs, and the others hit their previus best, the all-time mark of 1:48.3, held by the Kansas ace, could go. Just as heated a race with record potential could devel op in the 440 where the head liners have to be Nebraska's Clifton Forbes, Kansas' Ben Olison, the defending champl on, Missouri's Steve Hallibur ton, and Kansas State's Ter ry Holbrook (Oklahoma's Jim Hardwick, who has the league's leading quarter time, a a - Current Movies a a TUBM Faralslwd br Iheaur.

All four are capable of dipping below the league mark of :48.0. With all these quartermilers present, the mile relay mark of 3:16.8 is in trouble, too. Oklahoma, anchored by Hard wick, has a seasonal low of 3:16.1. In record range are Missouri (3:17.1) and Kansas (3:17.5). Nebraska has a 3:19.8 best, but most figure the Huskers are capable of better when they hit the lo .wForbes had a :47.5 an chor. 2-mile balance Great balance is again the main reason for record ex pectancy in the two mile. Col orado's all-American distance pair, Rick Trujillo and Craig Runyan, plus Missouri's Glen Ogden and Greg Tsevis, and Kansas' Glenn Cunningham, have all been under 9:12 on dirt tracks. The 9:00.2 record could go when these five start their last-lap pushes. Byers is almost all alone in the low hurdles, but in the highs he'll get his basic com petition from teammate Dave Stevens, a late comer for the Jayhawks. Both Byers and Stevens have :07.2's as bests, a clocking which equals the current Big Eight record. The high jump has the tall and short of it. Ron Tull, the lanky Sooner senior, has a league best of 6-11 this year, just an inch shy of the league mark Tull has the outdoor record at seven even. Ne braska's Steve Krebs, a 5-9 leaper, is also after the 7-foot level. He holds a seasonal mark of 6-10. With the tightly bunched field already shedding great performances, the potential is great.

And when the roar of the engines was just an echo, the Ford-Mercury combina tion, led by a pair of Yarb (o)roughs, Cale and Lee Roy, had again dominated the field, winning the four top positions.

The loss is the Cyclones' fourth, the same as NU, and Coach Cipriano's cagers get their shot at Iowa State here Friday night. products finished fifth through eighth, but surpris ingly, Richard Petty's Ply mouth did not hold that fifth spot. Petty, who won this same Daytona 500 in 1964 and 1966,; was considered the No. 1 threat to the Ford Mercury domination, but the Randleman, N.C., vet eran developed engine trou ble and finished in eighth place. Won 27 races Petty's failure, although not a major catastrophe, is unusual, because in 1967 he won 27 races, making his name as well-known in stock car circuits as Lew Alcindor's is in college bas ketball. In fact, his name even appeared on bumper stick ers in Virginia and Alaba ma last year which read: "Richard Petty for Presi dent". Along that line, one salty veteran of the stock car wars commented, "Don't laugh about that sign. May- Believe by Tom Henderson 1 be he couldn't win presi dent, but put him on the ticket with Billy Graham and that'd be a winner for sure." We doubt that, but Pet ty's popularity on the stock car circuit stands unques tioned. New breed Ignoring the fact that he races only stock cars, Pet ty, a 30-year-old father of three, is typical of the new breed of engineer-drivers who made 1967 the most successful year in the his tory of motor sports and who will be trying to bet ter that performance this year. Others include Formula One builder - drivers Jack Brabham, Dan Gurney and Bruce McLaren. Brabham, who won the World Driving Champion ship in 1966 in his Brabham Repco, seemed to be the first to find the winning combination after the For mula One standards were changed that year, while Gurney put his Eagle-West-lake Ford in the victory circle in the Belgium Grand Prix to become the first American driver in an American-built car to win on the world circuit. McLaren teamed with Brabham's Formula One teammate, Dennis Hulme, who won the World Driv ing Championship in 1967, to run off with the Canadian-American Challenge Cup series for Group 7 sports racers. Switches sports There is another driver who is a breed all his own this year. Jean - Claude Killy, the French skier who won three gold medals in the recently completed Winter Olympics in Grenoble, will be driving one of the five Chevrolet Corvettes entered in the 24-hour LeMans race, June 15-16. Whether it is these men or others who become the stars of '68, it is certain that auto racing will be more spectacular than ever. Thursday Night is Pizza Night PERKY'S 11th & Q 432-7720 CAINE VS.
