Track Prospects Look Brilliant In Spots
"We're brilliant in spots but lack boys in many events, namely the quarter-mile, javelin, broad jump, and high jump," said Coach Bill Easton while discussing this year's freshman track prospects.
"I hope that after the Thanksgiving recess we'll have more boys come out," he continued. "There are many boys on the campus who have had high school experience and who could help fill these holes, but because they went to a small high school, weren't prominent in track, or didn't score any points in the state meet they feel they can't make the grade. If a boy is willing to come to practice and work, we'll never drop him from the team."
Football. Basketball Will Help
Football, Basketball Will Help
Easton expects future help from men now on the yearling football and basketball squads. These include Duane McIntire, Gardner sprint and shotput specialist; Dale Remsberg, Iola hurdler, and Bill Dryer, Great Bend weight man. They are members of Wayne Ravensburg's football team. The basketteers include Wilt Chamberlain, who has cleared 6 feet, 6 inches in the high jump, Dick Keith, Blue Springs highumper, and Ray Sisson, St Joseph, Mo., and John Peppercorn, Overland Park, both hurdlers.
Coach Easton will have two members of last year's Scholastic Coach all-American team on his junior Jayhawk squad. Charles Tidwell, Independence ace, is the national prep 168-yard low hurdle record-holder with a time of 18.5. He has run the 100 in 09.5 and the 220 in 21.1.
Clay Center's Bill Tillman, and other all-American choice, has run the high hurdles in 14.4, the 100 and 220-dash yards in 09.7 and 22.0 respectively. Bill also ran the anchor lap on the 880-yard relay team which tied the state record of 132.3.
Verne Gauby, Marysville, was a triple winner in last year's state class A meet with times of 10.0 in the 100, 21.7 in the 220, and 50.2 in the 440.
Kurt Hofmann, Gary, Ind., half-miler, placed second in the 1955 Indiana State Meet and finished first the year before. His times were 1:57.4 in '55 and 1:58.4 in '54.
Class AA Mile Champ
Julius Linley, Topeka, sped to the class AA mile championship last spring with a time of 4:29.1. He also ran third in the state cross-country meets in 1953 and 1954.
Pittsburg's Tom Pingrey has a mark of 163 feet, 8 inches in the javelin.
Calvin Cormack, Abilene, has recorded a time of 4:59 in the mile and Berry Crawford, Boise, Idaho, has been clocked at 4:40.
Paul Scholz, Schenectady, N. Y., received the Schenectady County Memorial Award for outstanding track work in 1955 His top marks are 6 feet in the high jump and 20.8 in the 120-yard low hurdles. John Davis, Kansas City, Mo., has run the quarter in 53.5, the 100 in 10.5, and the 220 in 23.5. Rounding out the squad are Jerry Skinner, Topeka, low hurdler and 440 runner, and Ron Shoup, Udall, a dash man.
During the season, the freshmen will run telegraphic meets with other colleges throughout the country.
Three Have Played In All-Star Games
Kansas University football teams have been represented three times in the annual College All-Star Game.
In 1934, Pete Mehringer, a tackle,
played in the game. The next KU
player was George Dick, an end,
in 1944.
The last time that KU had a player in the game was in 1950 when Mike McCormack, a tackle, was a member of the team.
Turpin Won't Retire
NEW YORK —(U.P.)-Randy Turpin, former middleweight challenger, has changed his mind about retiring. The British boxer revealed plans for a comeback yesterday when he arrived here to defend himself in a $10,000 civil damage suit.
AAU May Bar Wes Santee
Marine Lt. Wes Santee, America's star miler from Kansas, may be suspended permanently as an amateur athlete which would bar him from the 1956 Olympics in Australia.
Santee, charged with receiving $1,200 from sponsors of three meets in California last May, where$AAU rules allow amateur runners $15 a day for expenses, is poised to fight the Missouri Valley AAU or anyone else to retain his amateur status.
Would Miss Olympics
Santee definitely wants a chance to defend himself and have the opportunity to compete in next year's Olympic games. "I would sure hate to miss the Olympics," said the great miler.
The Missouri Valley did not specify the length of the suspension, leaving that to the National AAU, which holds its national meeting Dec. 1-4 at Louisville, KY.
Suspension On 2 Meets
Suspension On 3 Meets
The three meets that brought on the suspension of Const Relays at Fresno, Calif., May 14, the Los Angeles Coliseum Relays May 20, and the California Relays at Modesto, May 21.
Although the outcome will not be known for some time, a dissenting committeeman of the Missouri Valley AAU said, "The whole thing is a big mess. I feel the national body will vindicate Wes of the charges."
Ten To Play Last KU Game
(Continued from Page 1B)
(Continued from Page 1B)
John Handley, 5-foot, 8-inch 170-pound extra point specialist, has seen much action this season. He has started several games and has seen plenty of reserve action in addition to his extra-point duties.
To Lose Steady Hallback
Hallback Dick Blowey earned two football letters prior to this season. He is a good blocker and on punt returns. He started most important games. In the Kansas State game, Dick was one of the few bright spots in the thundering defeat. He also had a good afternoon Saturday against Oklahoma A&M.
Quarterback Bev Buller of Lyons has done a creditable job for the Jayhawkers. As a junior, Bev moved ahead of John McFartland as the number one signal-caller. This season he has shared the quarterback chores with Wally Strauch. Bev was injured in last week's game and may not play tomorrow.
If you think Kansas plays a tough football schedule now, just glance back to the '30's when Notre Dame and Michigan State were dealing out misery to KU elevens. They were tough then, too. The brightest mark the Jayhawkers can point to against that opposition was a tie with the Fighting Irish in 1933.
Irish, Spartans Were Able Foes
Other results of KU-Notre Dame football in those days found the Kansans on the short end of 24-6, 28-7 and 52-0 scores. Almost needless to say, the tie was a moral victory. The fate with Michigan State was even worse. Playing the Spartans four times, KU never scored a point, while Michigan State scored 6, 42, 16 and 41 points. Bring on Mizzou!
The most points scored in a single game was 29 by Charlie Black in the game against Washington in 1923.
Charlie Hoag, from 1950-53, carried the ball for 1914 yards in 343 carries.
