BOB RICHARDS
Richards Expected To Lead Golfers To Successful Year
With spring officially here and golf season underway, Bob Richards, Big Seven golf champion, is expected to lead KU to a successful golf season.
Richards, a Lawrence senior, will be playing his third year as first man for Kansas. In inter-collegiate competition, Richards has lost only one match—a three-stroke loss to an Omaha University player.
"KU has a good chance to win the Big Seven at Manhattan this year with Gene Elstun, Jim Davies, and the returning lettermen," Richards said.
Third As Sophomore
Richards finished third in the Big Seven tournament as a sophomore when the meet was held at Colorado. KU took fifth place that year as most of the other squad members suffered from lack of tournament experience.
Last year the tournament was held at the Lawrence Country Club, and Richards with the individual honors with a six-over-par 222 for the 54-hole meet. KU finished fourth in the tournament, only two strokes behind first-place Oklahoma.
Last spring Richards shot a five-under-par 67 to break the course record on the new Lawrence Country Club course. He also held the record on the old course with a six-under-par 62, which he shot when he was a senior in high school.
Richards was undefeated in high school dual meets, and finished third in the state tournament for three straight years.
Richards also lettered three years in basketball at Lawrence High School and was a starter during his junior and senior years.
A golfer since he was 10 years old, Richards awed Kansas City golfers and sports writers, when at the age of 12, he shot a one-under-park 71 on the Swope Park golf course.

In the Kansas State Amateur tournament in Salina last summer, Richards was defeated in the semi-finals by Bob Vickers on the 19th hole. He missed a short putt on the eighteenth hole to throw his match into extra hole. He made it 1954-1955 won the Lawrence Country Club championship. He did not compete in 1953.
8th and NEW HAMPSHIRE
In addition, Richards won the Estes Park Open in 1953 and the Denver, Colo., junior city tournament in 1950. As a freshman, he was a finalist in the KU intramural golf tournament.
Last summer after completing six weeks of AFROTC summer camp in Arizona, Richards and Tom Phoenix, another KU golfer, hitchicked to Los Angeles. They bought a Model A Ford for 40 dollars and headed back for Kansas, the car wouldn't go over 35 miles an hour, and they barely made it back in time for school.
Richards, a history major, will enter law school next fall. Next March he will go on active duty for three years in the Air Force.
