Freshman Cross Country Wins Eight, Loses to Drake
DEFENDING CHAMPIONS—The KU freshman cross country team, defending national champions are, in the back row from left to right, Herald Hadley, Gary Ace, Gary Janzen, Bill Cottle, Jack Connell, Richard Farrell. In the front row, Coach Bill Easton, John Lindsay, John Garver, Jack Klinknett, Assistant Coach Bob Lawson.
Drake University, Bill Easton's former "stomping grounds," turned the tables on the Jayhawk frosh and handed them their first loss, 26-29.
As usual, Harold Hadley and Bill Cottie were 1-2 individually against the Bullpups. Hadley's best time, 9:30.8, has placed him first in the past four meets. Cottie's best, 9:35.5, which he ran at the first of the season gave him individual wins in the first five meets and has placed him second in the past four.
The Freshman cross country squad, hopefully riding toward an unbeaten season, has had its apple-cart upset.
DRAKE, SHUT OUT of the top two spots, compensated by copping the next four spots, J. Kragie, D. Prichard, J. Riepe and J. Henderson posted times of 9.36.7, 9.37.4, 9.38.2 and 9.44.2 to place ahead of Jack Connell who was seventh with a 9.54.1 clocking.
Despite this loss, the KU frostboast an 8-1 record and are priming for repeating as NCAA champions. Other Kangas meet results are: KU 18-Oregon State 43; KU 15-Air Force 50; KU 18-Michigan State 40 KU 16-Nebraska 42; KU 16-Oh
The Frosh have captured one grand slam thus far, against the Air Force Academy which has boasted outstanding varsity teams the past two years. A grand slam is when one school places the top seven finishers.
All are postal meets.
University 39; KU 15-Colgate 49;
KU 20-Missouri 35; KU 15-Iowa
State 43.
Cottle, Hadley, Gary Janzen, Connell, Gary Ace, Jack Klinknett, and John Lindsay finished in that order to push past the Falcons.
The Oregon State Rooks were able to place but one man in KU's top seven finishers that being Dellinger with a seven-second third place finish.
Against Michigan State the Jayhawkers finished 1-2-4-5-6 but conceded 3-7 to the Spartans.
Ohio University placed a man fifth and four men 7-8-9-10 to fare well against the lower half of the Jayhawk lineup.
Colgate just barely missed being grand slammed as Hall edged into seventh place just three seconds ahead of Lindsay to prevent the shut out.
Nebraska was also able to place men in fifth and seventh spots as Altizio and Toothacker were the
Huskers to break up the Jayhawkers lineup.
The Frosh have yet to get results back from Washington State, San Jose State, Kansas State, Occidental, Oklahoma State and the University of Houston.
At the end of the season the top times are sent to Track and Field News which compiles them and decides the team championship. Last year Kansas was the national championship.
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Mexico's economy currently has the highest growth rate in Latin America, with production up 5.7 per cent over last year.
Mexico Moving
Kansas Union Has Variety
Recreation-wise there is bowling, billiards, ping pong, chess tournaments, bridge lessons and dancing lessons; not to mention relaxing in the truest sense down in the Hawk's Nest with a cup of coffee and a cigarette. The dark rooms and the Craft and Hobby Room provide further recreational facilities.
Seven thousand students pass through the doors of the Kansas Union every day, and each day 35 different student organizations meet within its walls.
Dances and "big name" bands at the Union constitute a large part of campus social life, as well as football game receptions, carnivals and Trail Room dances.
Why does the Union attract so many people? Frank R. Burge, Kansas Union director, believes the Union's popularity stems from the fact that it offers "something for everybody to do in their leisure time" whether it deals with the social, recreational or cultural aspects of campus life.
Culturally the Kansas Union offers such opportunities as the Poetry Hour, the Current Events Forum, guest lectures, and the Music and Browsing Room which is equipped with a library of classical and semi-classical records.
Mr. Burge describes a typical Saturday at the Kansas Union beginning with refreshments before the football game, followed by luncheons and class reunions, post-football game receptions, dinner in the cafeteria or dining room and climaxed by the Homecoming Dance or some other special event.
