Kansas Wins 1st Swim Meet Of Season,50-34
Chuck Edwards made a successful debut as coach of the Kansas swimming team by leading the Jayhawks to a 50-34 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Robinson Pool Saturday.
Edwards, acting in a coach-competitor capacity, was high scorer for the meet with a total of 11% points. He took firsts in the 160-yard individual medley, and 100-yard free style, and was anchor man on Kansas' winning 400-yard free style relay team. His time of 1:51.7 in the 160-yield individual medley set a pool record as this was the first time the event has been held in Robinson pool.
Kansas took first place in the first four events to build up a 21-11 lead. Gene Cotter and Ed Gaines then put the Cornhuskers back in contention with a 1-2 finish in diving. The Jayhawks' winning margin was cut to three points, 22-19.
Edwards and Tom Burton then placed first and second in the 100-yard free style for Kansas and Nebraska. He continued to overtake the Jayhawks.
"It was close for a while, but it feels great to win the first one," Coach Edwards said after the meet.
The victory was sweet revenge for Kansas as it suffered two defeats at the hands of the Huskers last year.
Tom Houchen was the top performer for the visiting Huskers. He placed second behind Edwards in the individual medley and raced to first place in the 200-yard breaststroke.

Finals Stop Dons; Dayton Rolls On
The streaking San Francisco Dons were finally stopped today—by mid-year examinations—and that gives chief rivals Dayton and North Carolina State a golden opportunity to gain prestige.
Bv UNITED PRESS
The national champion Dons, who tied the major-college record by gaining their 39th straight win on Friday, will be fighting campus quizzes until Jan 28 when they shoot for an all-time record in a game against dangerous California.
But this week Dayton (12-0) and North Carolina State (13-1), ranked second and third nationally behind the champs, will be playing two games each with a chance to steal some of the Dons' thunder.
Dayton, which had to rally for an 82-73 win over Canisius on Saturday, wants to equal San Francisco's perfect 13-0 mark for this season by beating Villanova Wednesday.
The University of Texas leads all schools in Cotton Bowl appearances, having made five trips to Dallas on New Year's day.
