KU Swimming Team Hosts Weekend Meet
The Kansas swimming season kicks off here the weekend as jacksonyawks play host to their first-ever meet in Maysville.
Action will begin at 7:00 p.m. Friday in the Robinson Natatorium for preliminaries with the following schedule:
KU will go into the meet seeking its fourth straight title in the meet. The only time the Jayhawks have not won the event was in 1966, the other only year they hosted it.
Coach Dick Reason is beginning his ninth season at the KU helm and has 13 returning lettermen from last year's Big Eight team, his quest for a fourth straight league title.
Because of the strength of the returning lettermen, KU has been established as the team to beat for the league title in addition to this weekend's meet.
"I think our strength lies in the fact that we have no weaknesses." Reason said earlier in the year when the Jayhawks were just beginning preparations for the season.
Every Big Eight team will compete for the
meet title except Kansas State which does not field a swimming team.
Reamon said he thinks Iowa 'State' will pose the greatest threat to the Jawahres.
"They're going to be real tough." Reasonan analyzed, "I think they still have a depth of understanding."
Reamon forecasted Oklahoma to finish third in the meet behind the Jahawkes and Iowa State. Last year the Sooners finished second to KU.
"I may we will have an advantage in free

Ramon spoke highly of the meet which pats all big Eighttears on display for the event.
"We feel the relay meet kicks off the entire season and has tremendous fun appeal," Reamon said. "We'd certainly like to win this and get off to a good start."

KU Hosts Eastern Kentucky; Jayhawks Ranked 11th in Nation

Fresh from an impressive and convivial 69-32 thrashing of highly regarded Long Beach State Tuesday night, the Karsas Jayhawks face their second challenge of the season Saturday night when they entertain Eastern Kentucky in Allen Field House.
The Colonels of Eastern Kentucky, who play in the Ohio Valley Conference, appear to have a rebuilding year ahead of them after last fall. The team that won last year's team that finished 12-10 overall. But they still have on hand three seasoned veterans and a possible sophomore sensation that, if they can jolt early, could have most of their opponents salting before Saturday.
THE SOPHOMORE to watch is 6-13 Charley Mitchell. As a freshman last year Mitchell averaged 30.2 points a game while pulling in 25.9 rebounds and scored best scoring nights produced 50 and 46 points.
Mitchell will probably play on the front line because of the presence of two solid back court performers. George Bryant and Bill Murray, who have a gaurse last year while Baird averaged 17.6.
Joining Mitchell at a forward spot will be the man coach Guy Strong says he will rebuild around—Carmel Greenfield. A 6-4 and 25 pound senior, Greenfield hit 13 points a game for the Colonels last year. Greenfield is noted as a muscular forward and could
"Actually we've worked very little on the zone," Owens said. "And with some teams, you would be helping them if ran a zone against them."
Jayhawks will stay with the zone at all times in the future.
OWENS WAS NOT entirely pleased with the KU performance against the 40ers despite recent publicity saying the impressive victory was to hawks or hawks as the team to beat in the Big Eight.
**ADDING TO THE strong Colonel front line will be 62 cent Tim Arrabagh. Backing up Arrabagh will be his 640 sophomore team member.** A strong combination at the center position.
Like KU, the Colonels will come into the game with a 1-0 record. Berea College of Berena, Kentucky fell to the Strong's contingent 111-77 Tuesday night. Bryant paced

The Jayhaws will counter the Colonels' attack with the same starting line that was successful in holding Long Beach State to a 16-4 victory, and with eight right points in the first half. Auburn Nash and Bad Sallownight will man the guard positions Russell, Rubsh and Brown on the front one.

The Hawks were guilty of 22 turnovers, only because of the press, and that is far more costly.
A more pleasing aspect of the game was the shooting percentages. The Jayhawks hit 48 per cent from the field while holding Long Beach State to a meager 27 per cent. From the first possession he distracted on 17 of 28 for 61 per cent accuracy while the shots on 75 per cent of their attempts.
the Colonel's attack with 32 points. Mitchell followed with 21 and Greenfield added 12.
On the strength of Tuesday's win, the Jayhawks moved up to the number 11 spot of the latest UPI poll. The only other Big Eight school listed in the top twenty is Kansas State. The Wildcats are ranked 18th after a 79-10 win over Texas Christian Tuesday night.
THE JAYHAWKS came out of the contest injury free with the exception of Robichel. The 9-8 All-American candidate fell to the floor in a close play. He was slightly bruised knee. He did not practice
Wednesday and is not expected to workout today but trainer Dean Ne Smith said the star performer should be ready for the Colonels Saturday.
In the preliminary game Saturday night, the Kansas freshmen will tangle with Central College of McPherson. The young Jayhawks will be seeking their second win after easily defeating Highland, 89-78, in the openers. In the third round, the team scored with 32 points. Glen Russell added to the Jayhawk cause with Tom Kivisto's 18 right behind.
Game time for Saturday's freshman game is 5-4 with the EK-Eastern Kentucky matchup.
Bill Kosich, 6-11 freshman center, is a questionable performer for the game after missing the opener. Kosich is suffering from a strain of the school that has been aggravated this year.
The probable varsity starting lineups are:

Promises, promises, promises--that's all Louisiana State ever receives when it comes to tourism.
LSU, left out of the bowl picture last year when Notre Dame accepted a bid to the Cotton Bowl at the last moment, has been guaranteed a trip to Mima and the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day if it can defeat arch-rivals Mississippi in Baton Rouge, Ia.
Two weeks ago, after LSU lost its second game of the season, a bitter 4-2 setback to Notre Dame, the Orange Bowl selection committee said the Tigers would be a suitable opponent for Big Eight champion Nebraska. The team won in four games against Tulane and Ole Miss. Last Saturday LSU knocked off Tulane, 26,14, and now only Mississippi and old nemesis Arche Manning stand in the way of the Bayou Bengale first bowl appearance since 1988. The Tigers ended up winning the season after breaking his arm against Houston a month ago. But the talented quarterback, who led the Rbs to victory the past two years over LSU, flees to Memphis Wednesday to have the cest removed from his backyard and play with a special foam covered brace.
In the 1969 meeting at Jackson, Miss., Manning directed a fourth-quarter drive that brought Ole Miss from behind to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Southeast Conference title. Two years ago as a sophomore, Manning sparked the Rebels to a 72-24 victory over LSU. Although LSU leads in the series that began in 1894, 29-24 against not won since 1904, she is a 13-point favorite.
This year's Southwest Conference champion will be crowned at Austin, Tec, Saturday as No. 1 Texas tangles with No. 5 Arkansas for the right to meet Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl. Texas 9-0 puts its 29-game winning streak, third longest by a major college team in the last 80 years, on the line against Oklahoma. The team is straight after losing its superior to Stanford.
Texas is the highest scoring team in the nation, averaging 41.1 points per game and Arkansas is second at 39.5. Texas has the best ushing offense 364.6-yards per game while Arkansas has a more balanced attack, with 380 yards on the ground and 293 passing yards.
In other games on this final Saturday of the college football season; Sugar Bowl bound Texas State-Tulsa and Alabama-Boston is 19 over Miami, while the North Texas State-Tulsa and Arizona St.-Arizona are tied at 20.
Texas is a seven-noint favorite
Mississippi St., ranked No. 15 and headed for a Gator Bowl showdown with Auburn, lost the services of head coach Johnny Vaught when he was sidelined with a heart attack a few games back. Long-time aide Bruner was also injured in a fire under the usually high-suited Rebecca.
LSU, 8-2 has the toughest defense against the rush in the country, allowing a mere 51.2 yards per game and should apply extreme cutting and timing and the other Mississippi backs.
But playing LSU with Manning at quarterback should give Mississippi plenty of incentive to end its regular season with a win, and play LSU's hopes of playing in aowl game.
Gymnasts Travel to Denver
Having run into some stout individual competition last week at Chicago in the late afternoon, they tried to take advantage of the experience Bray gained as they return to team action in the Rocky Mountain Open this weekend at Lake Tahoe. The Friday night with finals Saturday afternoon.
In the Rocky Mountain meet a year ago at Colorado Springs, the Jayhawks took fifth as Kirk Gardner, an Atchison senior, won the national title with a .93 for KU's only individual team.
Coach Bob Lockwood will take a full squad to the meet in hopes the Jayhawks will fare well as they did in the KU Invitational meet nearly a month ago. In that season opening meet KU placed second to Big Eight champion Iowa State.
Kansas did not place anyone in the finals at the Midwest open. Gardner was the Jayhawks' top finisher, gaining 11th in rings with a 9.1. Richard Schubert, a

Athletes Threaten '72 Olympic Boycott
With four-time Olympic hammer thrower Hal Connell and former world pole vault record holder Jake Pennel as its spokesman, the U.S. Olympic team is demanding seven demands Tuesday to the Armatee Athletic Union at its 18t convention. If the requests are not met, it will be attributed to the 1972 Olympic Games was threatened.
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)—A loosening of tight restrictions regarding amateur athletics to overcome a "hypersic" in sports has been announced by world group of class-track and field athletes.
Chief among the demands was allowing amateur athletes to take financial advantage of their names and to allow professional athletes, such as pro football player Bob Hawk, to compete as an amateur in track and field, would not be eligible for Olympic trials.
Other demands were:
Forbidding foreign athletes from competing in U.S. national track championships
unless the other country reciprocates
Abolishing travel permits for competition in the United States.
- Giving athletes a larger voice in selection of coaches and officials of touring teams.
- Having international travel permits
acquire and apply for visas to compete in another country and to the
US.
-Allowing track clubs and organizations to negotiate with private industry for funding
The demands will be considered by the Air's 400-member Board of Governors and by the Board of Directors of the International Amateur Athletic Federation which oversees worldwide amateur athletic competitions.
In another move, delegates to the convention appointed a special committee to study the problem of athletes accepting tattoos from manufacturers of sports equipment.
John's Career Concluded But Records Remain
Rv DON RAKER
Assistant Kansan Sports Editor
The playing career of John Riggs has ended but it is highlyikely his name will be forgotten for some time as the star KU running back has left his name in the record book.
The "big train" from Centralia, recently named to the first team All Big Eight squad in 2015, pitched a complete 47-31 American honors, closed out his career No. 21 in KU season finale with Missouri by winning 192 yards in games as the Jayhawks (26-17) pushed him into the number three spot among all time Big Eight rulers as Oklahoma's Steve Owens and Colorado's Bobby Anderson.
WHEN THE SMOKE HAD CLEARED from John's illustrations, though sporadic, career that saw him break in as a sophomore senate candidate. The Orange Bowl participants, slumped with the
team to a dismal junior campaign and, again with the team, make a tremendous comeback and rise to sporadic heights of brilliance, six KU records had been equaled or surpassed.
The most notable milestone was rushing yards for a career. The 129 yards gained against Missouri pushed Riggs' total to 483, but that was not enough; the product that will not be soon forgotten, Gayle Sayers, who totaled 2,672 while playing for the Crismon and Blue from 1962 to 1964. Sayers, who was number three among all time Big Ten players behind Owens and Anderson, is now fourth.
Amber Trauninger was also a fan of the claim to be the single season rushing mark. Again the effort against Missouri provided the necessary yardage as Riggins' ended the season with 1,131 yards, two more than KU Athletic Director Wade Stinson's 1560 total of 1,129. Of the six records Riggins now lays at the bottom of the field, to Stinson was the ballerder of three.
TWO OTHER RECORDS that Riggins had less difficulty in obtaining in number of carries for, first, a season, and second, a career.
The 6-2 and 235-pound running back toed the ball 209 times over the past campaign to easily surpass the old mark of Donnie McKenzie (tenteammate in 1988) who had 182 carries in 1966.
The last two records John now lays partial
turn to are most touchdowns in one season
and more than half a dozen.
Former KU quarterback-great Bobby Douglass also fell victim to Riggs' record breaking efforts. John carried the ball 546 times during his career to the old mark of 415 held by the now Chicago Bear quarterback.
WADE STINSON WAS FORCED to move over and make room for Riggins as the two scored 14 touchdowns in one year (Stinson in 1850 and Riggins in 1970) and both
totaled 84 points in a single season (again Stinson in 1950 and Riggs in 1970).
Another record Riggins just failed to reach was career touchdowns. Buf, French, who played along with Stinson in 1950, totaled 23 points and scored two foul shots to score against Miami, finished with 17 points.
Probably the most remembered of the six milestone will be in the rushing department where Riggs received most of his acclaim. He finished his career with an average of exactly five yards per carry. Over the last year he averaged 5.4 yards a carry.
Another item worthy of note is that Riggins turned in five 100-plus rushes rushing games this past season after failing to reach the 100 last season. He also scored 45 games as a sophomore—189 yards against Kansas State and 162 against Colorado. His top games as a senior were 178 against Alabama and 192 against Missouri, 125 against Washington State and 107 against New Mexico.
