3rd Annual Conference Meet Slated as Pre-Game Highlight
The Third Annual Big Seven cross-country championships will be run over the Mt. Oread three-mile hill-and-dale course Saturday with gun time at 1:20 p.m., just before the start of the Kansas-Oklahoma A&M football game.
FACING FIVE BIG SEVEN TRACK TEAMS SATURDAY—Coach Bill Easton's cross-country team will be its after six straight Big Seven conference victory. It started its conference streak of five in 1947. From left to right are Keith Palmquist, Dick Wilson, Wes Santee, Art Dalzell and Lloyd Koby. The three-mile race will be held before the Oklahoma A&M football game Saturday.
The Kansas Jayhawkers will be shooting for their sixth straight fall team title and will rate favorite in the field of six teams.
It will be the first actual cross-country run for the present Big Seven, although the Big Six had five-mile overland meets in 1928 and 1929. A new conference record will be set by this year's winner since it is the first time for the three-mile distance.
The old Missouri Valley conference, of which Kansas was a member, started the five-mile cross-country jaunts in 1911 with Iowa State taking 12 of the 16 meets held up to 1828. The course was run in the Big Six for two years, then switched to a two-mile team race on a cinder track. The Big Seven continued this policy starting in 1947, with the change to the tougher grind coming this season.
Kansas first won in 1928, the first Big Six year, but didn't win again until 1947, the first Big Seven year. Since the organization of the present conference, however, the Jayhawkers have had both the individual and team championships each year.
Point totals do not change, regardless of the distance, and the Kansans set a new low record last season. With Herb Semper setting a new two-mile individual record, Bill Easton's crew scored 13 points, just three over the minimum.
A first place counts one, second two, etc., in the low-score-wins meet.
This year the Kansans rate as solid favorites as they have swept through four dual meets undefeated and run their consecutive victory string to 22.
The Jayhawkers will be led by Wes Santee, NCAA 5,000 meter champion, undeflected in the four meets thus far. Santee holds the course record of 15:02 set in the Oklahoma dual meet Saturday. His biggest battle will be setting a new record since there is apparently no other runner in the conference who can keep up with the flying Kansan.
Three teams are expected to fight it out for the second spot. Colorado, Oklahoma, and Missouri all have
Each of the six squads, Kansas State will not enter, will run five men. Only the first four from each team count in the team's scoring.
Kansas will have the usual squad of five that has brought landslide victories in all the meets this year. Running with Santee will be Art Dalzell, Keith Palmquist, Dick Wilson and Lloyd Koby. The Jayhawkers are still without the services of their captain, Norm Bitner, who has been out all fall with an injured leg.

fine squads with some top notch runners.
Colorado will lead with Lloyd Barlow and John Kick as Coach Frank Potts brings his boys into the thicker air of Kansas. Missouri will send Jerry Piper and Berton McVay as its top runners, while Oklahoma will have Bruce Drummond and Warren Rouse in the pack.
Nebraska, with Clayton Scott the top runner, and Iowa State, with John Williams and George Eastburn, will complete the field.
The race will finish on the stadium track in front of the student section about 1:35.
Kansas City, Mo. — (J.R.) The University of Oklahoma's chances of playing in a New Year's day bowl game vanished today after faculty representatives of the Big Seven voted to retain a conference rule against participation in a post-season game.
Big 7 Retains No Bowl Rule
Isle Royale, a national park, is the most northerly point in Michigan, located directly astride the 48th parallel.
The faculty group met last night in Kansas City. Conference officials said the meeting was called because the Sooners had received feelers about bowl bids.
Officials also said it was possible that other teams in the Big Seven might receive invitations.
Missouri and Kansas have been mentioned as bowl possibilities. Missouri now leads the conference with a record of four victories and no defeats, while Kansas has an overall six and two record.

Cunningham's Records Erased by Father Time
Cedar Point, Kan.—(U.P.)-The trouble with setting track records is that they don't stand up. $ \textcircled{*} $
FRITZ CO.
Take the records set by Glenn Cunningham, for example. Cunningham was one of the greatest middle-distance men in world track history, and easily the peer of American runners in his field. But the University of Kansas great can search the record books for his name with little success today.

If a good athlete doesn't train, no matter what his natural talents, "somebody will make him look like a tramp in the end," Cunningham said.
The best mile Cunningham ever ran was 4:044.4. It was a handicap affair and a good approach to the four-minute mile he insists will yet be run. But there have been faster miles than his best.
You'd have to go to the record books to find accounts of Cunningham's great races. He ran against men like New Zealand's Jack Love-lock and all-America stars of the caliber of Archie San Romani, Don Lash, Bill Bonthron, Chuck Fenske, and Gene Venske.
"That fellow is quite a machine, he said.
Today's milers are even faster, Dunningham says. He admired greatly the Czech star of the 1952 Olympics, Emil Zapotek.
Cunningham farms 840 acres near Cedar Point, about 140 miles southwest of Kansas City. He says it keeps him in "good general condition," though not in shape for a brisk mile. He's 43 years old.

with it.
Cunningham likes to talk to young men. Naturally he talks about sports, especially running. He spoke in Texas recently under sponsorship of the United Texas Drys, but he attacks drinking and smoking as readily without sponsorship as he does
He said he knew a lot of European stars put away quantities of beer and wine before their races, and concedes many American athletes are guilty of loose training. But that kind of business never plays off in the long run.
