Track and Field championships. The Jayhawks built up their
lead 25-15 over second place Villanova after the first night's
events.
Kansas picked up 13 of their points by finishing 1-2-3 in
the shot. Karl Salb set a new NCAA indoor record on his
first toss, eclipsing the old record by over three feet. The
throw was measured at 66-8 .

Purdue, led by the high-scoring
Rick Mount, and Marquette clash
this afternoon in the final of the
NCAA Mideast Regional Basket-
ball Tournament at the University
of Wisconsin. .
George King, Purdue coach,
said his club will have to play
without Chuck Bavis, a 7-foot
center from Geneva, Indiana.
Bavis suffered a shoulder separa-
tion in the Miami game.
In the far west,,it's one down
and three to go for UCLA in its
bid for a record third straight
NCAA basketball championship.-
But the second game could be the
toughest for the defending cham-
pions.
If the Bruins don't get by once-
beaten Santa Clara in today's re-
gional final there won't be any
third or fourth games for the na-
tion's No. 1 team.
It depends on the condition of
Lew Alcindor, the 7-foot-I 12
three-time All American cepter
who twisted his right ankle
against New Mexico State.
The early report was that t h e
injury wasn't serious, but Coach
Johnny Wooden said he was
awaiting a late examination to de-
termine Lew's exact condition.
In the Eastern Regional, Coach
Dean Smith of North Carolina
gives the psychological advantage

to Davidson in today's NCAA
game.
Lefty Driesell, coach of David-
son, thinks the, winner will be
"the team with the most vine-
gar,"
Coaches Maury John of Drake
and Jim Williams of Colorado
State University do not agree with
with the labels placed on their
basketball teams, which collide
this afternoon for a berth in the
NCAA tournament. finals.
Drake, soaring along with an
11-game winning streak and 24-4
for the season, has been tabbed a
run-aid-shoot team, while Color-
ado State has been cast as a ball-
control club.
