Jayhawkers Favored to Cop Seventh League Title
By STAN HAMILTON
Kansan Sports Editor
Five Big Seven cross country teams will invade Lawrence Saturday for the conference meet, each with the same goal in mind—to prevent Wes Santee and his KU teammates from annexing their seventh win at the NCAA championship best winning streak ever compiled by a Kansas athletic team.
The meet, which will be run over the rugged Mt. Oread terrain for the fifth straight year, will start at the baseball field about 30 minutes before the kickoff of the KU-Oklahoma A&M grid game. The team is arriving various parts, the campus, will ter the stadium at the southwest gate and will finish on the track in front of the east stands.
Jayhawk track Coach Bill Easton will send his usual crew of Santee, A Dalzey, Koehler and Dick Wilson all seniors, and sophomore Al Frame to the post.
None of the senior foursever ever has been on a losing hill and dale Harden had to play the son's 7-year tenure here has his distance team tasted defeat. That
lone setback was in the opening
1947 meet against Missouri—Eas
injuries the Cornhuskers would not run Saturday.
1847 meet against Missouri-Easton's first effort, but since then he has guided his men to 27 consecutive victories.
Santee is both the defending league champion and record holder. He set a new league standard of 15:08.3 over the 3-mile layout here in the loop meet last year, and finished about 100 yards ahead of runner-up Bruce Drummond of Oklahoma, who led his team to second place. Santee ran the course in 15:02.5, the all-time low, in a dual Nov. 8 last year against the Sooners.
Santee this fall has recorded the
Dalzell last year tied for fifth place in the big meet, and other returnees who placed in the upper bracket in 1952 are Oklahoma's Warren Rouse, who took seventh; Koby, 10th; Iowa State's George Eastbrook, 11th; Colorado placed third in team totals, Missouri was fourth, Iowa State, fifth, and Nebraska, sixth.
Kansas State did not have a team last year, and yesterday Easton received word from Nebraska Coach Ed Wier that because of illness and

best time of any Big Seven athlete, a 14:57.5 clocking last week against Oklahoma on the level OU course. Dalzell captured second in that encounter in 15:03, the second best conference time of the year. Rouse took second with Don Leadl, a promising sophomore, took fourth for Oklahoma.
Lloyd Barlow of Colorado has led the Buffs to a perfect season, and turned in his finest performance, 15:41.3, in a triangular against Wyoming and Colorado A&M on the latter's course.
In its first campaign in many years, Kansas State has not been able to notch a victory, but Darl Michel, its No. 1 man, ran second against Missouri in 15:43.4, in a win MUU won 13-23, low score winning.
Eastburn only managed to nano second place in a dual against Missouri behind Tiger Ken Hirshey, in 15:42.7, his best effort to date.
Oklahoma has dropped three of three meets to Texas A&M, Oklahoma A&M, and Kansas, while K-State has lost to Drake, Missouri, Colorado, and Iowa State. Colorado's Buffaloes won the 4-team Wyoming invitational and a pair of triangulars from Iowa State and Kansas State, the first at Boulder and the other at Ames.
Iowa State's Cyclones nosed out Drake 27-32 for its sole triumph, but lost the two 3-way meets to Colorado and a dual to Missouri. The Tigers of Coach Tom Bothe have humbled Iowa State, K-State, and Iowa, but dropped one to KU.
The Jayhawks have won five meets, three of them on foreign grounds. At home Kansas defeated Drake and Missouri, while on the road its victims have been Texas, Oklahoma A&M, and Oklahoma.
Although Easton's harriers, from their performances to date, appear to be almost a cinctch to win again, they have not been runnable on KU runaway or even a victory.
"We're going to have a mighty rough time of it," the amiable coach moaned. "Colorado hasn't lost a meet, and its times may be deceiving because chances are that we could miss Rouse can get back to last year's form he will press us, as will Missouri's Hirsey."
BIG SEVEN BRIEFS
Bv UNITED PRESS
COLUMBIA, MO.—The Missouri University Tigers today were still trying to recover from injuries suffered in Saturday's rugged battle with Oklahoma.

Both starting guards, Ten Follain and Terry Roberts, and reserve end Jack Hurley will sit out the Wildcat contest. Coach Don Faurot added that fullback Bob Bauman and sophomore tackle AlPortney received ankle injuries, but he expected them to be ready Saturday.
