Congratulations to the Delts. At last Saturday's cross-country meet with Missouri they had their pledge class and about half of the active chapter along with the house mother at the finish line when Al Frame steamed across ahead of the pack.

To top it all off, the Delts cheered the runners twice as they went by the fraternity house and then loaded into a truck and made it down to the finish line in time for the end of the race.
Challenge To The Rest
Their effort should be a challenge to the rest of the fraternities and sororites, especially those along West Campus Road. The Chi Omegas, Gamma Phis, SAEs, and Delta Chis should be out in force on their front porches every time we have a cross-country meet.
For the houses which aren't located along the course it would be well if they would send a contingent down to the finish line.
In time, effort, and physical work, cross-country is easily the most strenuous of the sports offered in college competition. Day after day, in rain or sunshine, the KU cross-country team works out over the killing three-mile course which winds over the hills of the campus.
A Grueling Sport
For their effort the members of the team get hardly anything but the satisfaction that they have done a good job. They all double in track so therefore have to work in two sports to earn their scholarship, if they get one. To the student body they are almost unknown.
Kansas cross-country teams have amassed a fabulous record since the arrival here of Coach Bill Easton. The KU squad had taken eight straight Big Seven conference crowns and will go into this year's meet Nov. 12 a heavy favorite. In addition they have won 24 straight Big Seven dual meets.
Fabulous Records
In addition to winning the Big Seven last year the Jayhawkers finished fourth in the NCAA and Captain Al Frame was crowned the individual champion. The team
Wichita's Conway Dropped For Scholastic Reasons
WICHITA—Wichita University, tied for first place in the Missouri Valley Conference, must play its final three games without their star quarterback, Jack Conway. $ \textcircled{*} $

Conway was an all Missouri Valley quarterback selection last year when he guided the Shockers to a championship. This year he led his squad to victories over conference opponents, Oklahoma A&M and Houston.
The 155-pound signal caller's ineligibility was announced by Dr. Emery Lindquist, dean of the College of Liberal Arts. A routine check of academic standings at midterm indicated Conway was not maintaining satisfactory classroom progress.
Wichita meets the University of Cincinnati next Saturday afternoon in a homecoming game here. Wichita must play Tulsa Nov. 24 in a final conference battle. The Shockers, Houston and the University of Detroit share the league lead with 2-1 records.
Head Coach Pete Tillman mourned the quarterback's loss but added, "We are in complete agreement with the University's academic requirements."
which won the NCAA last year, Oklahoma A&M, has already been defeated by the Kansans this year in a dual meet.
In 1953 the KU cross-country team took the big one and won the NCAA. That team was composed of Wes Santee, Lloyd Koby, Dick Wilson, Art Dallzell, Al Frame, and Tom Rupp. This year may be the year for the Jayhawkers to regain the crown.
Junior-Varsity Has Meets
Junior-Varsity Has Meets So, although there are no more home meets this year for the varsity the organized houses should get some sort of cheering section together Friday afternoon at 4 for the junior-varsity meet here with Pittsburgh State Teachers College. This meet will be run over the regular three-mile course.
In addition, each student could give the members of both the varsity and junior-varsity team a pat on the back both before and after the respective meets. Running for the varsity this week at Oklahoma will be Al Frame, Hal Long, Bob Nicholson, Jerry McNeal, and Berry Gay. Sidelined

Ashburn, Hamner Examined
PHILADELPHIA —(U.P.)—The Philadelphia Phillies revealed today that outfitter Richie Ashburn, National League batting champion this year, and infielder Granny Hammer have undergone examinations by Dr. George Bennett at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

Injuries Still Plague Kansas
Despite the fact that KU's personnel are in better condition than at any time during the past three weeks, Coach Chuck Mather avoided any heavy contact work yesterday in order to cut down on further injuries.
At the present time, five KU regulars have serious injuries and failed to suit up for practice yesterday. They are end Jim Letcavits, out with a broken hand, fullbacks Jerry Baker and Dick Reich, center Frank Black and end Lynn McCarthy. Reich, Baker, and Letcavits are not expected to play in Saturday's game with Kansas State.
Others suffering mild injuries, but expected to play are quarterback Bev Buller, bothered by a leg injury, quarterback Wally Strauch, fullback Al Stevenson and guard George Remsberg, who played his first game against Nebraska Saturday after suffering a fracture of a calcium deposit before the Colorado game.
