Jayhawk Swimmers Take Fourth; Beat CU, Utah State
The Kansas swimming team met its first real test of the season this past weekend, swimming meets against Utah State, Colorado and participating in a ten-team meet at the Air Force Academy.
The Jayhawkers easily downed Colorado and Utah State, swimming Friday at Colorado. In the larger meet, the KU squad finished fourth behind the host Falcons, Wyoming and Denver.
AGAINST COLORADO. KU won all events except the diving and the 440-yard freestyle. The only race which Coach Jay Markley's crew failed to win against Utah State was the 50-yard freestyle.
Markley said the competition Friday was not very good and that KU should have won everything against Utah State except there was a line-up change which accounted for the one loss.
"Looking back, for the first competition of the year, we did all right," said Markley of the Kansas performance Saturday at the Air Force.
First, as is always a problem when swimming in Colorado, the higher altitude was a factor against Kansas.
THERE WERE THREE things, Markley said, which hampered the Hawk effort in the Air Force meet.
"Friday at Boulder the different air didn't seem to make much difference and we swam real well. But by Saturday we were more tired and although we swam well again, it really hurt to put out the effort. Some of the men could hardly climb out of the pool," said Markley.
SECOND. THE PROBLEM which has faced KU swimming teams for several years, lack of depth, again was a detriment.
Markley explained that KU had only nine swimmers in the meet and the next smallest squad was 16. Also, every team except KU and the Air Force was able to swim freshmen, thus adding greatly to their depth. KU couldn't enter three events because of a dearth of swimmers.
KU Bowling Team To KSU Saturday
The University of Kansas bowling team will compete in a quadrangular bowling meet Saturday at Manhattan. Participating schools are Kansas State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, and KU.
The quintet of John Member, Paul Hammar, Terrell Hays, Steve Rybolt, and Jim Kartsonis will represent KU, according to Bascom Fearing, varsity coach.
In women's competition between KSU, Nebraska, and KU, Betty Jo Member, Shawnee Mission freshman, and Patricia Folk, Leawood junior, will roll for the Jayhawks. A third member is yet to be selected.

Having a Party?
THE KU TEAM WENT to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, during the Christmas vacation and worked out there. Markley said the team got back to Lawrence only two days before it had to take a train for the meets in Colorado and then had to move from Boulder to Colorado Springs off schedule because of a transportation difficulty. He said this was one thing which probably hurt KU's chances extensively.

"We could have beaten every team in the Air Force meet in a dual with the possible exception of Denver," said Markley.
Air Force won only one event in capturing the title with 77 points to nudge Wyoming which had 73. Denver had 56, KU 50 and Colorado State had 45.

MARKLEY SAID that Colorado
State had beaten Air Force badly the previous day, showing, he said, that the competition was again not very good.
The highlight of the Air Force meet was the record breaking effort by the Kansas 200-yard medley relay team which broke the existing mark of 1:48.4 with a 1:45.1 clocking.
MURDOCK FINISHED a surprising third in a strong field in the 100-yard breaststroke. He finished behind the top two men in the world in this event.
Speaking of the recent trip to Florida, Markley said no one did very well in the East-West meet held in Ft. Lauderdale except Bill Murdock.
Markley did say the squad got in a lot of good practice, which was the principal reason for the trip, and that this would be important as the team moves into the heavier part of its schedule.
The next action for the KU swimmers will be Jan. 20 at Iowa State against Nebraska, Kansas State and the host school.
