KU ragged but fast out of blocks
Jayhawk swimmers lose two dual meets

Don't worry about Dick Reasonn spending too much time soul search to find out a lot about it.
Reason, University of Kansas swim coach, knows why his Jayhawks lost two straight meets for the first time in nine years. Missouri trounced KU, 70-43, Jan. 17, and Iowa State nipped the 'Hawks, 62-51, last Saturday.
Don't think that's the only reason. There's plenty more.
"First we need more sprint depth," Reasonam said. "We lost three of the four we had last year on our 400-freestyle relay. We have not done that yet." Don't think that it's the only reason. There's
"NUNIRES HAVE REALLY killed us," he said. "It's a 'a day-to-day thing with Gary Kempjt (nack backstrooker and freestyle). His knee popped out after the last event he was in Saturday and we had to put it back in place.
"Mike Alley (junior freestyle) is another one who has been hurt. He has a shoulder problem. These are people we have to have."
The Jayhawks have lost others Reason was counting on this season. Not all of the
swimmers who were supposed to come through have helped out. Ron Kern, a highly-loved freshman from Hutchinson, is the latest casualty. Kern was declared academically ineligible and has been lost for the year.
THE EMBRASSING loss to Missouri bothered Reason, he said.
"We weren't sharp against them," he said. "We didn't swim well. But then, Missouri is an excellent dual meet team." Another conference can beat them in a dual meet.
KU could very easily have beaten Iowa State. The meet came down to the last event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, and had both teams win that race, they would have won the meet.

"We competed much better against Iowa State." Reasonam said. "I felt the meet would go down to the last event if we swam well. We swam about like I thought we would."
Now that Reamon knows exactly what his team's problems are, does he know whether the Jayhawks will win their ninth straight Big Eight swimming title?
"I don't know how we'll do in that meet," he said. "I go to see more competition."
The first weeks of the indoor track season are a companion's paradise.
University Daily Kansan
Members of the University of Kansas track team can be heard saying things like, "I would have blasted that stretch, but I felt my thigh twitching" or "There's no way I should be throwing so poorly. What's the matter with me?"
Just ignore them. The first few weeks of indoor season rarely produce the best markets.
They usually produce, instead, minor muscle pulls and strains—the small nagging injuries that plague you when you exercise. You'll have them in months, and erosions of disappointment.
JUST IGNORE THE complaints and examine the performances with an open eye.
Ignore the fact that freshman half-miler Tommy "Tuna" McCall was unceremonial in track KU's training营er Jan. 16, at the Sooner Institution in Oklahoma City.
Forget about Dallas freshman Anthony Coleman knocking down the hurdles in the dual as if his legs were heading in a different direction from his body.
In KU's 86-54 win over Southern Illinois last Saturday, McCall can run a fairly good 1:56.1 over 800 yards, although he com-
mitted of feeling a little sick before the game.
A WEEK EARLIER, against better competition, Coleman won the Sooner Invitational 80-yard high hurdles title. His time of 7.32 was a KU freshman record.
So what if Nolan Cromwell was passed by two runners in the last 60 yards of his 600-mile race?
That's about the same as a 13.8 in the 120-
hurdles outdoors.
He hasn't been able to train for his event in weeks, his football weight is five pounds over his optimum racing weight and his of 11.23 is less than two second off his best.
And what about Kevin Newell, the Chicago flash, who lost to a K-State sprinter by a hundredth of a second in the quarter-mile at Oklahoma City?
His time at Oklahoma City—48.94—isn't bad for a freshman who had to sit out his senior year in high school because of a harmsong muscle pull. Newell's time was two-tenths of a second more than the KU freshman record. 48.7
Bob Timmons, starting his 11th year as head KU track coach, said he liked the team last week despite aected grubbling and disappointments.

"I thought it was a good meet," Timmons said. "Everybody seems to be improving. We're starting to get the balance back into the team."
THAD TALLEY, assistant track coach, said he was pleased with the times of his sprinters despite the lack of discipline in their training so far this year. Enrollment and moving back into town have affected the quality of workout sessions.

GYMNASTICS—The KU gymnastics squad split decisions during the semester break, defeating Northern Iowa 165-58 and Minnesota 204-17. The opposing opponent across Iowa State 209-120-170.5.
The Jayhawks, not pressured in their 35-point victory over Northern Iowa, won all six events in the Jan. 17 competition in Robinson Gymnasium.
Sean Williams, floor exercise and vaulting champion, and Jody Summers, allround champion, paced the victorious squad.
The gymnasts increased their team total by five points against Iowa State last Saturday in Ames, Iowa, but that wasn't nearly enough to upset the powerhouse Cyclones, who outdistanced the Jayhawks by a comfortable 39 points.
FOOTBALL—Wade Phillips, assistant coach in charge of the defensive line, has quit the Jayhawks to join his father, A. O. (Bum) Phillips, head coach of the Houston Oilers. The younger Phillips will be quality control coach for the Oilers.
BASEBALL-Workouts for the University of Kansas baseball team began this week with pitchers, pitchers and catchers would be running and throwing this week with the rest of the team joining them Sunday or Monday. Temple roster would then have about 25 players.
