Cross-Country Workouts Begin For Jayhawkers
K. U. Track Coach Millard E. "Bill" Easton started 11 runners through practice routine this week in preparation for the fall cross-country season.
Lost to the Jayhawk squad through graduation are Bob Karnes and Pat Bowers, the speedy twin-engines of the K.U. track team. The incomparable Karnes won the individual championship for the past three years, besides winning a host of national and spring outdoor conference titles, Bowers, an All-American half - miler, in 1949, stretched out to the cross-country two-mile distance to help Kansas to the crown.
The most pressing business before the Jayhawk headman and his fleet-footed squadmen is the retention of the Big Seven cross-country championship that has been won by Kansas trackmen for the past three years.
Coach Easton has three returning lettermen from the team of five that coped conference laurels in Memorial stadium in the 1949 race. Team Captain Herb Semper, Cliff Abel, and Dave Breidenthal will form the nucleus of the 1950 team.
At least three of the conference schools will mount serious threats to the winning ways of the Jayhawkers. The universities of Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska all have powerful teams that could upset the Kansans. Missouri is considered the strongest of the three by Coach Easton. The Tigers have
Her Voice Really Carries
South Portland, Me.—(U.P.)Mrs. John Dorsey sang at her sister's wedding more than 3,000 miles away. She made a record of the traditional wedding march in South Portland and sent it to Frankfort, Germany. Her Army nurse sister became the bride of an air force pilot.
Hartland, in Canada's province of New Brunswick, claims it has the longest covered bridge in the world with a '1,282-foot roofed over span.
Bill McGuire returning after laying out of the 1949 campaign, McGuire is co-holder with Karnes of the indoor mile at 417.2. Also returning to bolster the Tigers is Chet Franz who ran eighth last year, Robert Fox who came in 22nd and Pete Gallup, a promising sophomore.
Coach Easton's lettered three-some won't roll over and play dead for any team though. Abel finished a good fourth in last year's race, and Semper was right behind him in fifth place. Breidenthal slipped to 15th after racing to sixth place in the 1948 derby. Semper showed the most improvement during the year. The Forest Park, Ill., junior raced to a new conference indoor mark for the two-mile with a 9:26.8 in the March meet in Kansas City, and added the outdoor record at Lincoln, Neb. last May with a 9:21.0 performance.
Abel reached a high mark last spring with a sixth place finish in the two-mile run at the Drake Relays. Coach Easton expects the capable senior from Perry to be very definitely in the league distance picture this year.
Coach Easton Calls For Track Men
Track and field prospects are asked to report to Coach Bill Easton, 105 Robinson gymnasium, this week between 9 a.m. and noon.
Men interested in field events will be introduced to Jim McConnell, new assistant coach, and a practice schedule will be worked out. McConnell, former University of Nebraska decathlon star, assumed his coaching duties Sent. 1.
Fall practice for freshmen, new students, and Varsity men will start this week following enrollment.
Breidenthal suffered leg injuries last year that put a crimp on his effectiveness, but his steady improvement in spring workouts bid well to make him a consistent threat this fall.
Eight squadmen will squabble for the remaining two varsity positions. They are: Paul Aylward, junior from Ellsworth; Jim Dinsmore, junior, of Hobart, Ind.; Bill Farney, sophomore from Hutchinson; Dave Fisher, junior from Mission; John Forney, senior from Webster Grove, Mo.; Jihershberger, junior from Wichita; Leon Lee, senior from Dunlap; and Keith Palmquist, sophomore, from Minneapolis, Minn.
