Wednesday, February 28, 1973 9 KU Swimmers Favorites for Title By TIM WINTERS By TIM WINTERS Kanson Sports Editor The University of Kansas swimmers will be heavy favorites in the Big Eight Championships that begin Thursday in the Robinson Natatorium. The events will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday. The trials will be in the afternoon with the finals to start at 7:30 p.m. each day. The meet is the *1st Big Eight Championship*, and since 1937, either Iowa State, Oklahoma or Kansas has won the swimming crown. The Jayhawks have won the last five Big Eight swimming titles. Last season, the 'Hawks outscored Oklahoma, the second-place team, by 184 points. KU finished the meet with 501 points compared with Oklahoma's 317. "We are now just concerned about how well we swim," Reason said. "We are fortunate in that we don't need help from another team to split the points. Dick Reamon, coach of the Jayhawks, said the squad had good quality and depth This season the Jayhawks have won all six of their dual meet and have only been outscored in the larger meet by New Mexico, Air Force and Southern Methodist *We work on the mechanics and paces of the different events and a attempt to show the effect of this.* "I try to help the swimmers as much as possible with their mental attitude," Reamon said. "We make them aware of our physical abilities and he stands on the basis of the seedings." Reamon said that the squad was physically ready and that the rest was up to them. The Jayhawks will be helped, if they need any help, by the fact that they will be performing before a home crowd. The meet is in the home meet of the season for the Jayhawks. The Jayhawk swimmers have the fastest regular season times in nine of the 18 events and could possibly sweep some of the final events. "The home crowd will help the team," Keanan said. "I hopes we have a large and enthusiastic team." Tom Kempil, the Big Eight swimmer of the year in 1972, holds two Big Eight singles and one Big Eight freestyle. He will be joined by his younger brother, Gary, who has the top time in the 400-meter individual medley, the 500-meter freestyle and the 200-yard backstroke. U.S. Stars Run In Soviet Meet NEW YORK (AP)—American track stars Wiley Davenport, Robert Taylor and Fred Newhouse will compete in the Soviet Indoor Championships March 3-4, it was announced Tuesday by the Amateur Athletic Union. Taylor is expected to have a rematch with Russian spinner Valerian Borzow, who edited him for the 100-meter gold medal at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. Stan Sapin, manager of the three-man United States contingent, said the Americans would depart Thursday for Moscow. Borzow was one of four Russian track and field standouts who recently toured the United States for a series of meets. He failed to win an event. Davenport was the high hurdles gold medalist at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and Newhouse was the world's second fastest 400-meter runner last year. Newhouse won the National AAU's 600-yard dash last week at Madison Square Garden. The three athletes were specifically invited by the Soviet Union's sports ministry for competition against the finest performers from Europe. KU also has strong links in breast- broker Roger Neugent and Mike Inflower in the US. The 800-yard freestyle relay team of Steve Ingram, Tom Kempf, Richard Hedlinger and Tom Hodgson set a conference record to lift the baton. They are expected to do well again this year. Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Colorado could provide the Jayhawks with the best The Cowboys are led by Dave Biddick, who has a clocking of 47.69 in the 100-yard freestyle. Biddick is the defending champion in the 100-yard freestyle and has the fastest time this season in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle races. Iowa state has Rick Burnett leading the 202-yard freestyle and two excellent divers in Steve Spikes and Rick McNally. The two Cyclone dives have scored the most points among NCAA divers, and is defending one meter champion and McNally a fourth place finisher last year. ★★ Thursday 1:00 p.m.—March 1 Thursday 1:00 p.m.--March 1 1. 500 lfd.

Myth Yes, some want to change the way business is done in the United States. Maybe you are one of them. Mostly, they want to redistribute the wealth and get higher wages. They're not sure how to accomplish it, but they want it done. Fact For whatever faults business may have, do we really want to change a system where more people have more money with which to do more things than in any country in the history of the world. Are you willing to pay the economic penalty of the people living in a socialist state to change our free enterprise system? got an idea...got a gripe...got a problem...got a solution... got a misconception...got something to offer LET'S TALK BUSINESS.
