13 Lettermen Back For Indoor Track
By STAN HAMILTON Kansan Sports Editor
Track Coach Bill Easton has almost three-fourths of last year's winning Big Seven indoor championship team back this year, plus one old letter man and fourteen sophomores who won numerals last year, but he still predicts a rough time for his thinclads this season.
The Jayhawkers won the Kansas City indoor title last March by netting 43 points to runner-up Oklahoma's 24, and men who scored 30 1-3 of those points are back.
Heading the list of 13 lettermen is Wes Santee who got 10 of the points himself by winning the 880 and the mile run, both in record times, in both the indoor and outdoor loop meets.
For veteran sprinters Easton has Don Hess, who was second to Kansas State's Thane Baker in '53, and Frank Cindrich, who was fourth in
Track Hopefuls Invited by Coach
Track Coach Bill Easton today issued a call for all interested men at the University to report for track, either at the Memorial stadium between 3 and 6 p.m. any day or at his office, Room 306, Robinson gym.
the 60-yard dash. In the 440 Bill Hawkey is the sole returning letterman.
"We are anxious for either freshmen or eligible transfers to try out. We'll give time to any boy who comes out," Easton said.
Hurdle aces Bill Biberstein and Dolph Mueller are both hoping to move up one spot and take firsts in the highs and lows, respectively, after second place finishes last year.
Two Kansas distance men—Art Dalzell and Lloyd Koby—nabbed birds last year, Dalzell in the 880, and Koby in the mile. For the longer 2-mile stretch, Dick Wilson and Norm Bittner will try to take up the slack left by the graduation of last year's winner, Keith Palmquist.
Last year all Kerm Hollingsworth got in the high jump was a 3-way tie for fifth place, and Bob Smith, while he did not place in the indoor, came along well in the outdoor season to insure a berth for this season.
Dick Knowles is the one veteran back for shot putting chores and Jack Stephens will be back for pole vault duties. Smith doubles in the broad jump. Cindrich and Mueller are the two leftovers from the mile relay team which took second at Kansas City.
Gone via graduation are Palmquist; Buz Frazier, high jump winner; Merlin Gish, shot and discus man; Don Smith, 440 and low hurdle outdoor champion; Norm Steanson, indoor pole vault winner, and Jim Swim, javelin gold medal winner. Another letter winner, spinner Dick McGlenny, now is in the Air Corps.
But in spite of this seeming overabundance of material, Easton is moaning about the loss of eight lettermen.
But a number of promising sophomore hopefuls are out to fill in the gaps.
Outstanding is Al Frame, who won the mile and 2-mile in the yearling telegraphic meet and took third in the 880 last year. In the high jump Easton has the conference frosh leader, Leon Wells, who set a new record of 6-33.
Sprinter Dick Blair tied for second in the 60, and Ralph Moody and Paul Hunt deadlocked for third in the league wire meet. Tom Rupp was second to Frame in the 2-mile, and Gene Blaasi, with a heave of 46-5, took third in the shot put. The frush shot put winner, Blieder, still

This victory, 18-20 over Texas, university, marked the sixth dual meet triumph in as many starts this fall for the little Jayhawkers, although the Longhorns took the first two places.
Melvin Light of Texas, took first in 9:41 over the two miles, and KU's Corky Eggert, Big Seven titlist, came in first for Kansas in third place. The next four places went to Kanss.
is nursing the leg injury he suffered in football and it is doubted if he will be ready for the indoor season.
Ken Bateman, a transfer from Garden City junior college, is out for the broad jump, and Dean Ragon, giant tackle on the grid squad, is trying out in the shot.
Other sophomores vying for positions are Tom Pott and John Quarrier, 440; Jim Elliott and Bob Creighton, 880; Creighton, Tom Rupp, and Tom Jones in the mile; Rupp 2-mile; George Remsberg, Led Helman, and Dale Birney in the shot; Hunt, broad jump, and Bob Stinson, pole vault.
The Women's Athletic association will hold its annual volleyball-hockey banquet tomorrow at 5:30 in the Student union ballroom.
"I think the team will be well balanced with good, sound boys in practically every event," Easton said. "If Stephen's ankle comes around he'll make a good pole vaulter and we should get more points this year in the shot put than we have in past seasons.
