KU Takes 4th In NCAA Meet
---
Oregon State captured both crowns the NCAA offered. The Rocks won the team championship with 68 points and Dale Story wrapped up the individual title over a four-mile course in 19:46.6.
The wind was strong, the temperature was sub-freezing and the Jayhawkier cross-country runners were "cold." Coach Bill Easton's squad, undefeated Big Eight champions, had been priming themselves toward the national collegiate crown.
Kansas' hopes rode on Bill Dotson. Dotson had blazed to glory in every race this fall, winning easily against strong opposition. Dotson entered the race as one of the favorites for the NCAA's 1961 individual champion. Dotson gave it all he had, but what he had wasn't enough. The Kansas great who has been compared as equal to all-time star performers Wes Santee, Herb Semper and Al Frame, finished 13th.
Yesterday, the Jayhawkers ran at East Lansing, Mich., against the largest and most formidable field the NCAA had compiled in recent years and much to their "disappointment" finished fourth.
"He didn't feel well." said Easton of his anchor man. "I don't know what happened and he doesn't either."
Kansas had at East Lansing what every athletic squad fears, "a cold day." The Jayhawkers had it on the day they had hoped to be at their best.
KANSAS HAD ITS FIRST clue that the day was going to be a "Blue Monday" when senior stalwart Dan Ralston became ill before the race. Ralston had been battling the flu bug and the cold weather irritated him.
Ralston, Charlie Hayward and Bill Thornton were the KU "middle men" designated to pick up much
needed points to assure the Jayhawkers of victory. Ralston ran despite his handicap and finished 31st. Bill Thornton was on his heels, placing 32nd.
MIKE FULGHUM, who last year won the national junior college championship, was the Jayhawkers' only bright spot as he ran his best race of the season. The junior transfer ran third among his teammates and finished 20th overall. In previous meets he had not run above fifth against his teammates.
The Kansas sophomores George Cabrera and Tonnie Coane placed 45th and 77th respectively.
Hayward had been Dotson's shadow the entire season. The junior had finished second to Dotson in every meet except for the Big Eight meet when he placed third. Hayward's times were usually a couple of seconds behind Dotson's.
The top ten finishers behind Story were: Matti Raty, Brigham Young; Pat Clohessy, Houston; Jeffery Fishback, San Jose State; Tom O'Hara, Loyola (Chicago); Charlie Clark, San Jose State; Barry Almond, Houston; Jim Tucker, Iowa; Danny Metcalf, Oklahoma State; Gerald Clyde, Colorado State.
THE TEAMS behind Oregon State were San Jose State, 81 points; Houston, 122; Kansas, 124, Iowa, 164; Western Michigan, 165; and Southern Illinois, 173.
Hayward, like the rest of the Jayhawker crew, couldn't get moving. He finished 21st.
"We had a real fine season, one of which we can be proud. We had a great leader, Captain Bill Dotson, who did a great job. We have nothing to be ashamed of.
Intramural football play ends next week with the Hill Championship. In that tilt will be the winners of the playoff between the division champions.
"Our performance showed that we are the top power in the Middle West. We defeated the Big Ten Champion, Iowa."
The Ed Leach, Lawrence graduate student, to Jim Emerson, Bartlesville, Okla., senior, pass combination clicked for two touchdowns. The Leach to Dave Phillips, Colby sophomore, duo accounted for the final score. Leach scored both PAT's

play.
