KU Faces Aggies in Opener of Cross Country
On the basis of times turned in thus far this fall, the Aggies rate the favorites. Leading the Cowboys are the Scandinavian trio of Sture Landquist, Goteburg, Sweden; Bjorn Bogerud, Oslo, Norway, and Fredrik Eckhoff, Saude Ford, Norway. The other two Oklahoma runners will probably be Henri Geller, Brooklyn, N.Y., and Mel Moseley of Leidy, Okla.
Mt. Oread will be the site of international competition tomorrow afternoon as the Kansas cross-country team plays host to the Oklahoma A&M Cowboys from Stillwater. The meet will begin at 4:15 p.m.
Kansas' hopes rest mainly on this year's cross-country captain, Al name, and the ability of Coach M. E. (Bill) Easton to whip his young sophomore ladened team into top shape.
Kansas places a record of 27 consecutive dual meet victories on the line.
This meet will be the 1954 season opener for the Jayhawks, but the powerful Aggies have already defeated Texas A&M 10-27 last Saturday (low score wins). In beating Texas, the Aggies copped the first four places, with the three Europeans placing 1-2-3.
Rounding out the Kansas team will be junior Tom Rupp, and sophomores Lowell Janzen, Jan Howell, and Bernie Gay.
Three other members of the varsity cross-country team will run in the meet. These three will not count in the scoring, Easton said, but will run to qualify for the trip to Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 23, where Kansas will comete against Drake and Bradley. They are Mike Swanson, Corky Eggert, and Grant Cookson.
Coach Easton has a great rebuilding job this fall, as the four seniors who led Kansas to the Big Seven cross-country crown and NCAA championship last year have been graduated. Frame is the only returning member of the national champs.
Underdog Kansas has one chance to upset favored Oklahoma A&M. This chance rests in the desire of the sophomores to back up their hard running captain. Coach Easton is noted for his ability to get the most out of his boys and it may be that Kansas can turn the trick on the Aggies.
'Phoa' to Speak at Sasnak
There will be a Sasnak business meeting and mixer tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in Robinson gymnasium. Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, basketball coach, will speak on the history of Sasnak.

Boys Trying Says Mather
"The boys are trying to do their best, and I haven't given up on them yet," said Coach Chuck Mather, when he addressed the campus Quarterback club last night in the Student Union ballroom.
Coach Mather discussed the team's play and showed films of the Iowa State game. He said that in the Iowa State's 33 to 6 victory, the Cyclones scored all of their touchdowns on our own mistakes. He didn't take any credit away from the Iowa State team, for he said they were a pretty good football team; and they would give their opponents a lot of competition.
Concerning this week's game with Oklahoma, the nation's top team, he said we would again be short-handed. Defensive star, Dick Reich, who suffered several bruised ribs in the Colorado game, will be sidelined; and Frank Black, No. 2 center, is suffering from a virus infection.
