Freshman Runners Cop League Crown
Coach M. E, "Bill" Easton's freshman track team scored 81 $\frac{2}{3}$ points to win the Big Seven freshman telegraphic championship with the same ease that it has used to overpower its dual opponents this season. Runner-up Oklahoma was 48 $\frac{1}{2}$ points behind the Hawks.
The Sooners scored 33 points, Kansas State $22 \frac{1}{2}$, Missouri 22, Nebraska 10, and Iowa State and Colorado $5 \frac{1}{4}$ points.
The KU frosh won seven events and set new conference records in three events. Willie Jones ran the quarter-mile in 50.2, Mike Swanson ran the half-mile in 1:56.8, and the mile relay team had a time of 3:26.7. The only other record broken was by Derrick of Oklahoma who ran the low hurdles in 06.9.
KU displayed tremendous power the distance events by taking the first three places in the two-mile and the half-mile and the first four places in the mile. The Hawks also took first, second, and fourth in the quarter-mile, and won the broad jump and the high hurdles.
Mike Swanson of KU was the outstanding individual performer in the meet, scoring first place in three events—the half-mile, mile, and two-mile. The only other man in the meet who won more than one event was Derrick who won the low hurdles and then tied with Roy Murphy of KU for a first in the highs.
Kansas placed in every event except the high jump. Oklahoma took first place in three events.
The performance of the mile relay team was very outstanding. The time that Larry Stroup, Lewis Stroup, Harry Solter, and Willie Jones established in the mile relay would have given them no worse than third if they had competed in the Big Seven conference indoor champions this spring.

Newell Takes Cal Cage Post
Berkeley, Calif (U.P.)-Pete Newell of Michigan State has been signed to succeed Clarence (Nibs) Price as basketball coach of the University of California, it was announced last night.
Brutus Hamilton, California director of athletics, said Newell had accepted a three-year contract. He did not disclose terms of the agreement.
Newell achieved his greatest fame in 1949 when he coached the University of San Francisco's "cinderella" team to the National Invitational tournament championship.
Price, who coached at Cal for 30 years, said he would be glad to give Newell any advice he wants, adding "But I don't think he needs it. He's a good coach."
A university rule forced the popular Price's retirement at 65.
Newell will arrive on the Berkeley campus about July 1, Hamilton said. In addition to his basketball duties, he will be assistant baseball coach in 1955 when George Wolfman succeeds Clint Evans as head coach.
In four years at Michigan State, his teams won 45 and lost 42. This year's squad had a 9-13 record.
Don't be surprised if the administration shifts the marriage and family lab site from Potter to Lone Star lake. The latter spot seems to be growing in popularity.
4 Teams Retain Title Hopes In NAIA Tourney
Kansas City, Mo. — (U.P.) F o u r teams remained in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics 16th annual basketball tournament and defending champion Southwest Missouri State Teachers, of Springfield, was favored today to repeat in its bid for a third straight championship.
Southwest Missouri knocked off East Texas State, of Commerce, the team given the best chance of ending its reign, 65-59, last night in overtime. The three other teams to advance were Western Illinois, of Macbom; Arkansas Tech, of Russellville, and St. Benedict's, of Atchison.
Western Illinois takes on Southwest Missouri at 8 p.m. in the first game of today's NAIA semi-finals. In the other semi-finals game, Tech meets St. Benedict's at 9:45 a.m.
St. Benedict's upset seeded Pasadena, Calif., college in last night's quarterfinal round, 62-61, while Arkansas Tech advanced by beating seeded St. Peter's, of Jersey City, N.J., 81-77.
Western Illinois beat Southeastern Louisiana State college, of Hammond, 84-78, to qualify for its game with Southwest Missouri. The defeat of St. Peter's and Pasadena college left only Southwest Missouri out of the eight seeded teams to start the tournament, five days ago.

Gone was the tournament's main attraction, Bevo Francis, and his Rio Grande, Ohio, college teammates, and the turnstiles showed it. More than ten thousand jammed the coliseum for the first three days when Bevo's team was still in the running.
