Champion Teammates Dive to Win
it turned out that way for two years. Davies, from Wichita Southeast, won the title during his senior year and King, from Shawnee Mission West, won it during his
They were so much better than any other Kansas high school divers that it seemed as if they were only competing against each other.
Today, King and Davies are teammates on the University of Kansas swim team. At times it still seems as if their only competition is each other, but they have now combined their talents to form the best one-two diving punch in the Big Eight.
At last year's Big Eight Championship meet King and Davies finished second and fourth in both the one and three-meter diving events this season. A Championship this year.
"King's being here has helped my driving," Davies said. "When you've got somebody as good as him to dive against, it really helps."
Both divers have said there is no rivalry between them.
"Also, I never was on a three-meter board until I came up here. King really helped me down."
King said, "We're teammates. There's no
worry. We just try to go out and finish
one."
They said that even in high school they didn't consider their meets as personal contact.
"We only dived against each other in two meets," Davies said. "But we knew it would boil down to us using the state estimates. Both of us were still at 30 points ahead of the third place finisher."
“It’s getting old, always finishing second,” Davies said. “One meet I had a great week of workouts. But outweighed I went into one of the biggest groups I’ve usually. It almost as if I myself insisted.”
Both divirs agreed that psychology played an important role in diving. King said that he didn't try to psych out his opponents, but that he thought most divers
"Most guys try to do things and say things get your attention," he said. "You can't wait long."
Davies said that he usually tried to outspay his opponents before a meet.
This year King has developed a pattern of finishing with 20 to 30 more points than Davies. The last time Davies beat King was in the intraqaud meet.
"The first thing I do is come out and throw a three and one half-right without a hand."
A three and one-half is a very difficult
solve involving three and one-half forward
movement.
"Also I try to do more practice dives than usual," Davies said. "I don't worry about the other guys at all. I try to joke around with them and keep the air clear."
Divers, unlike swimmers, spend little time in the water. King said that he never swam
Tough Baseball Season Expected

University of Kansas baseball coach Floyd Temple had just one word to say about the 1974 Big Eight baseball season. "Touch!"
The Jayhawks will play 21 Big Eight games and 23 nonconference games. The schedule is the longest in KU basketball in Texas during spring vacation.
"While we are hitting in the batting cage here, they are outside running practices. Any time we get outside before the season starts I consider that a big bonus to the program. That is why we are going south this year."
"Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have always been the teams to beat in the Big Eight," Temple said during batting practice in Allen Field House last week. "They can offer more scholarships to ballplayers than some of the other players (including Kansas), and they have better playing weather than the rest of the teams.
On the return trip to Lawrence the laywhaws will play a doubleheader against St. Louis.
Next week the 'Hawks will play seven games in Edinburgh, Tex. KU will face big Eight rival Missouri twice in the opening round of the tournament March 11. The host team, Pan American University, will take on the Hawks March 12. The 'Hawks will end the tournament with two games against Westwestern Conference favorite, Texas A&M
Although KU has been limited to indoor practice much of the time, Temple said he already had an indication of the 1974 starting line-up.
"As of now our pitching and defense are sound," he said. "We have three good pitches."
"I hope this trip will give our team some good playing experience," Temple said. "I plan to look at everyone on the squad during the 'trip.'"
kurt Knoff, and our bullpen is fairly reliable. Rob Strand, Dave Paves, Mike Finneran and Loren Taylor could be handling most of the relief work."
Slagle, Peters and Strand are juniors and the rest of the mound crew are sophomores. Al Whitfield of Oklahoma City and Chad Renn of Wellington are the only seniors on the team. The number of underclassmen, Coach Temple does not consider this a rebuilding year.
"We were building last year," he said.
"We should have a fairly sound ballclub. Defensively we are strong all around the diamond except for catching where there is no variety experience. I will just have to wait and see who comes through."
Stever Raib, Kansas City, Mo., junior;
Randy Troust, Redmond, Wash.,
sophomore, and Carl Heirink", Lawrence freshman, are viving for the position.
The rest of the field has been almost filled out, according to Temple. Whitfield is KU's primary first baseman. He stands at second base, and Eight play. Mr. DePlue, Frontenac, Ore., freshman, probably will play second and John Turner, Lake Oswego, Ore., junior, will be playing
One of three football players playing baseball for the 'Hawks this year is sophomore Paul Bower of Shawnee, who will play at third.
In the outfield KU has three quick, hard-throwing veterans. Rob Ohm, will be in leftfield, Renn will play center and Knobb will be in right.
Knoff was KU's All-Big Eight defensive
The Big Eight rules committee has added a new dimension to the offense this year. Besides the use of aluminum bats, the designated hitter rule will be legal.
The third football player on the squad is freshman first baseman Bill Griffin, who played in three games and was placekicker Mike Love was listed on the roster, but he will be out for six eight innings.
"Number one is my scholarship," he said.
"Number two that diving will help me get a job after graduation through recognition, Obviously, I want to win, too."
Chuck McHerry, diving coach, has helped the divers a lot, Davies said. McHerry, he said, is one of the maiden diving coaches in the state. He said the McHeny was "picky" and emphasized the basics, a practice that was helpful.
in practice. He said he practiced his dives on a tranquiline until the season started.
Celebrate KU's Victory at SHAKEY'S
A diver spends more time warming up a than swimmer, Davies said.
Winning is what King and Davies have in mind as they enter the Big Eight Championships beginning tomorrow in Boulder, Colo.
Davies said that there were two main reasons why he dived.
"It's not exhaustion that tires you out, but mentally it blows your mind," he said.
"Diving in the Big Eight is getting better and more consistent," Davies said. "This year, there are a possible five divers shooting for the top spot. If I hit everything and King hits everything as well as we can, we'll take one-two."
Why do they continue diving when the sport requires a lot of work and there are no dive sites?
"Enjoyment mostly," King said. "It's also kind of like a job. In a job you try to be as good as you can. If you don't do it, you've fallen short of what you want to do."

the Air Force does not. He finds his office established for him. Supplies and equipment readily available are in the office, and he can treat patients. For example, he can consult with Air Force specialists. He also has referral to other Air Force specialists. His time is most of the least, as the satisfaction that come with having the opportunity for regular follow-ups, and a missed opportunity for treatment.
Whether you are already a physicist, or soon to become one, you might find it extremely interesting to find out what the Air Force has to offer. We think it would be a great experience. Soon, we'd be happy to send you detailed information.
Becoming a physician is a tremendous satisfaction. Let us give you the job satisfaction that should go with it.
Greature comforts arise, the Air Force offers professional advantages. Besides receiving training from a medical school and having physicians in all of the medical specialists. You'll function in an environment which is intellectually stimulating.
Whether you're still in medical school with the threat of years of graduate medical education, or be a doctor you trust as a physician, it's our opinion that the Air Force can offer both professional and personal satisfaction.
The physician already in practice can look forward to other things. If you want training in the practice of the medicine of the future, you'll find it easier than ever to work with a group medicine and preventive medicine, and the growing specialty of "family physician." Whatever practice you choose, which are not being practiced in today's Air Force,

An overstatement? Not if you consider the specifics.
Not all physicians pursue post residence fellowships. But if you are interested, the Air Force can provide you with these opportunities.
Take the problem of graduate medical education to its next stage. The course is considerably easier with comfortable salaries and livelihoods.
COST:
The physician starting his practice in civilian life has to take into account the cost of setting up an office and the costs of running it.
