Craft honored by Big Eight
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Center Les Craft of Kansas State University was named the Big Eight's Player of the Week Monday on the strength of his 44 points and 18 rebounds in victories over Colorado and Northern Iowa.
Craft scored a career-high 26 points on 10-of-11 shooting from the field in a 82-56 Big Eight season-opening victory over Colorado Thursday night. He also had six rebounds and blocked two shots.
"That was the best game of his career," K-State Coach Jack Hartman said.
The senior from Bozeman, Mont., then collected 18 points, 12 rebounds and three blocked shots Saturday night in the Wildcats' 78-65 victory over Northern Iowa.
Craft was nominated for Big Eight nonors last week when Lorenza Andrews of Oklahoma State was named Player of the Week. In the first six weeks of the season, five different players have received the award.

Swimmers take All-American
'Hawks make waves in Texas
By BILL HORNER Sports Writer
The meet was called the "All American Invitational," and the Kansas swimming team turned in performances that showed all of America just how it is done.
- The women's 400 freestyle relay team's 3 minute, 28 second clocking was another of the top times in nation.
- *Jenny Wagstaff was the individual high-point winner for the meet, capturing five individual events. She recorded the best time in the nation this year for collegiate women in the 100-yard butterfly, and her winning times in the 200 individual medley, 400 IM, 200 butterfly and the 200 freestyle were among the top five recorded in the nation thus far this season.
- Ron Nugent was the second leading individual scorer in the men's
- Tammy Thomas, perhaps the nation's premier collegiate woman spinner, swam a pair of fastest times. Her winning efforts in the 50 and 100 freestyle races were both new highs for collegiate women thus far this year.
competition, winning the 1000 freestyle and placing in the championship finals in five events.
And those are just the major biophiots.
It was, coach Gary Kemp said, "one of the most successful weekends that the University of Kansas has had in a long, long time."
Though no official team scores were kept at the Austin, Texas meet, Kansas had certainly proven their dominance by the end of the meet. Kemp said the women's team easily placed first among the nearly 50 teams competing, while the men finished second behind Southern Methodist University.
"The team did a super job. We established a tremendous amount of respect for our program, and I think that's a very good tribute to the athletes, the work they've put in, their attitude and their spirit.
"Their performance was commented on time and time again by numerous coaches. We felt very good about the meet."
Kempf singled out the performances of Tammy Pease, who won the 50 freestyle; of Jim Fox, who won the 200

In a dual meet the day before the All-American, the women's team fell behind the nation's second-ranked team in last week's nation's eighth-ruled team. B3-65.

Kempt said he planned to keep a lower profile on this meet, preferring to give his swimmers a change of pace after the grueling All-American.
"You're obviously in a very pressure-packed situation at the All-American meet," he said. "I want the swimmers to have a chance to swim a lap at the beach or get some events that they haven't had a chance to swim so far this year."
