University Daily Kansan Page 9 Freshman Stars Boost Prospects; Swimmers Open Season at SIU The University of Kansas swim team opens its season tomorrow in deep competitive waters at the Southern Illinois University Invitational meet at Carbondale, Ill. Rookie coach Diek Reamen is taking 12 swimmers, including two lettermen, seven freshmen and a transfer student. The freshmen and the transfer student are eligible for this meet since it is Amateur Athletic Union competition. THE QUALIFICATIONS of the competition sound formidable. Reaonman expects the Indiana U. freshman team and the hosts to supply the greatest challenge. Southern Illinois won the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics title last year and he said the Hoosier freshmen team alone could win the NCAA title. "I'm only taking the boys who are ready." Reamon said. "To make this trip, I made them better the fourth place qualifying time of last year's meet at Southern Illinois." Mike Caldwell, Kansas City junior transfer student, will swim in the 200 and 300 yard freestyle events, and Reamon expects a strong showing from him. He becomes eligible for intercollegiate competition next semester. Team captain Bill Murdock, Webster Groves, Mo., senior, the Big Eight titlist in the 100 and 200 yard breast stroke events, and freestyle specialist Bill Mills, Topeka junior, are the returning lettermen competing in this meet.

He was rated an All America diver in high school. Another sophomore, Tom Hutchinson of Wichita, will enter the 200 and 400 individual medley races. Notre Dame Cagers Break Tradition By Tim Moriarty UPI Sports Writer A now era seems to be dawning for the Notre Dame basketball team. For the Notre Dame basketball team. The Irish, who won only six of 23 games last season, ran their record for the new campaign to 3-0 by rolling to a 101-70 victory over St. Francis (Pa). Last night at South Bend, Ind. John Matthews, a senior guard from Albany, N.Y., scored eight points in the first six minutes to help Notre Dame to a 56-31 lead at halftime. Matthews wound up with 20 points. Three other Irish starters scored in double figures — Ron Reed contributing 14. John Andreoli adding 13 and Walt Sahn chipping in with 12. Sandy Williams of St. Francis also scored 20 to match Matthews for game scoring honors. "Several of the freshmen are very good," Reamon said. "Three of them are state high school champions." They are Richard Bisbee, Wichita, who will compete in the 100 and 200 yard freestyle races, Jack Allen, Wichita, who will swim the 100 yard backstroke and 200 yard individual medley, and Randy Hawkins of Bartlesville, Okla., who will compete in the 100 and 200 yard butterfly events. "In fact," Reasonan said, "if our freshmen were eligible for conference competition, we could win the Big Eight team title."
