KU to Defend 4 Titles in Big 7 Cross-Country Run
Kansas puts four amazing victory crowns on the line tomorrow at Ames when it defends its Big Seven cross-country championship, against the other six schools.
The crowns include: seven straight conference team cross-country champions; thirty-two successive triumphs over Big Seven opposition in cross-country, indoor and outdoor track; and nine straight conference championships in cross-country, indoor and outdoor track.
No league team has wrested the cross country flag away from Kansas since Easton built a title squad in his first season here, 1947. That was the last year of the old Big Six when Bob Karnes, Hal Moore and Hal Hinchee ran 1-2-3 for the Jayhawks at Ames. Easton also had readied a new runner to succeed the likes of Karnes, Herb Semper and Wes Santee who have enveloped every gold medal since 47. That, of course, is Al Frame, shuffling Wichita junior, who is off to a high-gear start with conquests of such established notables as Bjorn Bogerud, Fred Eckhoff and Sture Landquist of Oklahoma A&M; Lynn Romann, of Missouri and Oklahoma's Don Ladd and Ron Reed.
With the recent dual victories over Missouri and Oklahoma, both prime competitors, Bill Easton's youthful squad. . KU will run two juniors and three sophomores at Ames . . . is expected to further every one of the streaks.
A victory at Ames would give the Jayhawks the first leg on a fourth consecutive grand slam of conference track titles. They added the indoor and outdoor pennants to their cross-country dominance in 1952, '53, and '54, to erect the first three slams.
Frame finished as high as 18th in the NCAA field last autumn as a mere sophomore, and is taking the leadership duties of his team captaincy literally.
Although no schools have dominated the modern conference at Kansas' present rate, the Jayhawkers still have some distance to go if they are to overhaul Iowa State on the all-time tables, which stretch back into the old Missouri Valley. The Cyclones haven't won a distance crown since 1931, but they won 12 in the old circuit for a total of 14 overall.
Juniors Sweep To Hockey Win

The sophomores made two goals one in the first half by Joan Blome and one in the second half by Ruth Ann Callis. The seniors scored three times, Mary Demeritt scoring once and Janet Shepherd twice

Dick Blowey
He Learned to Tackle Through Necessity
Dick Blowey, Kansas right halfback, learned to tackle through necessity.
"It was the only way I could have made a letter last year." Blowey says. "I saw they were going to try me on defense more than offense. So I buckled down on tackling. I don't recall being a real good tackler in high school. I got them down, but you've got to hit 'em in this league. Guess I tried extra hard, because it was my one chance."
Blowey got his "K" alright as a sophomore. And he didn't catch a
pass, throw one,
nor carry for a single yard. He
was used chiefly in clutch situations because he could tackle and
defend against the forward pass.
There were a lot of clutch situations as the Jayhawks compiled a 2-8 record.
There also was a lot of Blowley's to tag him as block and tackle Chuck Mather Sikes for spring
BLOWEY
a lot of Blowey's presence. Enough to tag him as an old-fashioned block and tackle guy by the time Chuck Mather succeeded J. V. Sikes for spring practice.
The 178-pound Augustan has performed these two fundamentals so well, he's the only Jayhawker to start every game this season. This, despite a mere 74 yard rushing total on 36 carries through the first eight games. Blowey will start bisninth consecutive game tomar-
row in Stillwater as the Kansans go after Oklahoma A&M.
Not that Dick is an offensive blank. For one thing his blocking has had much to do with those improving sweeps and off-tackle bursts from left half. For another he has set up two touchdowns and scored one in KU's last two starts. He ran 78 yards with a punt against SMU to allow the Jayhawks to score from the three and grab a brief first period lead. He took a nine yard pass from Terry McIntosh last Saturday against Nebraska then ran 34 more to the nine to set up the Jayhawks' first TD. He got this himself on a nine-yard swing at left end.
That score represented Blowey's first of his collegiate career. But, typically, he was more proud of a head-on stop of Cornhusker full-back Bob Smith, one of the league's best running backs. He hit me good, but hit him hard. Blowey recalls with pardonable pride.
Dick's father, R. A. Blowey, now an Augusta hardware dealer, coached 11 years at Strong City and Cheney high schools. The senior Blowey was an all-state guard at Friends in the early twenties, when all-state nomination meant something. He wanted both his boys to be football players beyond the ordinary.
"He had me kicking, passing, and cutting when I was seven years old," Dick recalls.
