Easton Sees Trouble In Opener With A&M
Head track coach Bill Easton is preparing the 1953 edition of the Jayhawker cross country team for its initial encounter with the Oklahoma Aggies Oct. 18 on the Stillwater course.
Easton said there was a good chance that the runners from down south would beat the 'Hawks and that the opening contest would probably be the toughest duel for the Red and Blue team in many years.
Reports from Aggie coach Ralph Higgins, say the Cowboys are pointing for an upset and will be trying to hand the Kansas squad its first defeat in 22 meets, a victory string which covers a span of six years.
In getting ready for the dual with the Okies, Easton ran his varsity charges through mile and half time trials Saturday. Several Kansas runners looked good and of course Wes Santee, the 4-minute mile prospect, led the pack to the finish line. The ace traveled the course in 7:05. 0, 25 seconds better than the second-place finisher Art Dalzell, who hit 7:30.0. Other members timed were Dick Wilson, 7:38.0; Lloyd Koby, 7:50.5; Bob Creighton, 7:56.0; and Tom Rupp, 8:07.0.
Al Frame, member of last year's frush team, was ill and not able to participate in the race, but Easton reported that Frame has possibilities of being one of the top men on the Jayhawker team. Frame will get a chance to show his ability when Easton sends his thinclads on their first 3-mile time trial later in the week.
Providing competition for Kansas will be the Aggies' Freedrick Eckhoff, Bill Heard, and Sture Landqvist, a veteran threesome making up the strongest cross country team in the history of A&M. The course he has consists mostly of flat land, something not prevail here, and could produce good times. Eckhoff and Landqvist are from Norway.
Santee placed first in the A&M meet last year in 15:14.3. This was nearly 20 seconds faster than Eckhof who finished in the No. 2 spot Other returning Red and Blue team members who placed in last year's
encounter are Art Dalzell, who placed third with 15:44.5; Lloyd Koby, who finished in the No. 5 spot with 15.48.8, and Dick Wilson, who placed seventh in 16:27.0.
Several members of the freshman team also turned in excellent races Saturday morning preceding the varsity race as Easton put his younger charges through a mile course. Mike Swanson was the standout as he traveled the approximate mile course in 4:28.0. Making it race if it were Bernie Day in a 1:40.0. Bernie Egger who finished behind Cox in 4:42.0. Grant Cookson ran the course in 4:52.5 and was followed by Sandy Markham with a 5:04.0; Joel Meader with a 5:11.8, and John Quarrier who had 5:17.0. Markham and Quarrier are sophomores.
The first meet for the frosh is a tentative telegraphic affair against Kansas State, Colorado, Iowa, and Drake. Several other meets are being planned.
Easton said the freshman team as a whole is shaping into one of the strongest squads he's had here at KU, but that a lot depends on the spirit and hustle of the team members listed so far and is said to be one of the best rounded groups in several years.

Meek Holds Rough Practice
Manhattan, Kan, (U.P.)—Coach Bill Meek whistled his Kansas State Wildcats through full speed scrimmages, aiming at sharpening both offense and defense patterns for the Colorado Aggie game Saturday. Meek altered his first two units on offense, shifting tackle Bob Smith to left end to replace Ed Pence, an injury victim in K-State's 50-0 win over Drake. Quarterback Jack Chilton, who suffered a shoulder injury in practice two weeks ago, appeared in pads but did not scrimmage.
Dear University Friend:
If you are thinking about an ocean trip to Europe next Summer, it's time now to make your steamship reservations.
No deposit is required at this time. A small deposit is required only when steamship space is definitely offered you and you accept.
Should you need to cancel, of course, there is no obligation. Any deposits paid are refundable. It is far better to make a reservation—and then cancel or change the reservation—than to wait too long and not be able to secure the ship accommodations you wish.
Perhaps it is difficult to plan so far ahead; but, it is almost a necessity if you want to have economical steamship passage.
There are thousands upon thousands already registered with the steamship companies for trans-Atlantic passage during the height of next year's season—Summertime, 1954.

Replogle Much Encouraged With Frosh Grid Workouts
By STAN HAMILTON
Kansan Sports Writer
The freshman football squad, 55-strong, yesterday afternoon ran UCLA plays against the varsity in a dummy scrimmage, and after the practice was over, frosh coach Wayne Replogle expressed much satisfaction over his charges.
"Naturally the boys have a lot to learn just as do all freshmen." Ploglie said, "but this bunch likes to learn and is off to a good start after only two weeks of work.
Replogle, who is starting his eleventh year as a Jayhawker coach, has had plenty of assistance in getting the frosh ready for their season opener Oct. 9 against Kansas State. The game, an are-light affair, will be played at the Haskell stadium.
"This squad is probably the finest disciplined group I have had the pleasure to work with here at KU. Not only do they want to learn the rudiments of football, but they are responding well to university life."
Former Jayhawk grid stars helping tutor the first-year men are Gil Reich, Merlin Gish, and Charlie Hoag from last year's varsity; John Konek, halfback who had to give up the sport this year because of a bad knee, and Kenny "Red" Morrow, varsity quarterback three years ago. Another assistant is Bill Coleman, former Haskell star, who is doing graduate work at the University.
Replogle is high on praise for a score of the fleddelings, so much so, it is hard to figure out just who on the squad is not destined for future greatness.
