KU harriers ranked high in Big 8 test
Four teams are given an equal chance at the title as the Big Eight Conference cross-country championships get underway Saturday in Boulder, Colo.
Defending champion Kansas State, Missouri, Colorado and KU are hopeful of obtaining the team title in the most balanced league gathering in recent years.
Coach Bob Timmons' young team will be trying to push KU back over the .500 mark for conference championships. In the 34-year history of the meet, KU has won 17 times, 10 more than K-State.
Timmons feels that the meet could easily go any one of the four ways, but feels that the Buffaloes could have a slight advantage because of the altitude in Boulder.
"The team (KU) is going out there with as good a chance to win as any and they know it," Timmons said.
Timmons reported the team in excellent shape. The players should go into the meet rested, since morning practices have been discontinued this week.
"Team spirit is tremendous," Timmons added. "The boys do everything we ask them."
Even though the team will be running without three of its regulars, Timmons doesn't feel the factor will influence either the confidence or running of the team. World record holder Jim Ryun, Mike Hayes and Paul Mattingly will not make the trip.
Ryun has been bothered with a bad back most of the season and hasn't run extensively. Hayes became sick this week and Mattingly has had knee trouble all year.
"If the team will have any disadvantage going into the meet, it will be a lack of competition this season," Timmons said.
The team has run only three times this year and had a meet canceled with Southern Illinois.
"Just the same, I am very pleased with the team, and I know they will do a good job," Timmons said.
KU frosh battle Missouri today
KU's freshman football eleven, undefeated in two outings, will face the Missouri yearlings today in Columbia.
The Jayhawks will enter the contest with victories over Oklahoma State and Kansas State, while the Tigers come into the game sporting a 1-2 mark.
Kansas State is the only common opponent of the two teams. Missouri downed the Wildcats 12-7; KU won 3-0.
KU Coach Dick Tomey called the Missouri team the biggest and strongest the young Jayhawks have faced this year.

Scanning the Big 8
By Chip Rouse Kansan Sports Editor
OKLAHOMA 24, IOWA STATE 6
Those Sooners just keep steamrolling along and it seems highly unlikely that the Cyclones will be able to stop them.OU boasts the league's best scoring offense and defense. It could be a long afternoon for the Cyclones.
MISSOURI 17. KANSAS STATE 0
The Wildcats, still looking for their first conference victory, will be growling up the wrong alley when they meet Missouri.
NEBRASKA 21, OKLAHOMA STATE 7
Nebraska's finally back on the victory trail, and to make matters worse, are at home to host the Cowboys. Oklahoma State owns a victory over Colorado, a team which defeated the Cornhuskers, but this should make very little difference Saturday.
COLORADO 24, KANSAS 13
The league-leading Jayhawk Express journeys to Boulder this weekend, but may be forced to return minus its caboose. Needless to say, the Buffaloes are primed for this one, and I'm afraid the Jayhawks may be in for a rude awakening. This is definitely the Big Eight's game of the week.
