If you are a K.U. freshman, you may be a man sought by Bill Easton, track coach. Hustling coach Easton is in search of freshman talent
Outstanding high school track achievements aren't prerequisites to procure a tryout for Easton's team, he hints, but not just willing—to give any man, my
"I want any man who has ever done anything at all in high school track," Coach Easton declares, "but just as sincerely do I want fellows who believe they might have ability but aren't quite sure because they have never had an opportunity to find out."
Coach Easton admits present indoor training facilities at K.U. aren't exactly appealing to freshmen, but he emphasizes they will be working out in the new fieldhouse two seasons from now. And that structure, says Coach Easton, is going to be "the best darned fieldhouse in the United States."
Particularly needed, he says, are sprinters, hurdlers, quarter milers, pole vaulters, and broad jumpers. Of the freshmen already in training, the shotputters are pleasing Easton most. He was grinning broadly Monday when he announced Frank Renrofe, a former Shawne Mission boy, had established a new K.U. freshman indoor record by heaving the iron ball 43 feet, $41\frac{2}{3}$ inches.
Dave Patterson, Leavenworth,
wasn't far behind with a put of 42
feet, 8 inches. Not world-beating
marks, perhaps, but they show well
enough the progress Easton is making
in his efforts to bring K.U. to the
fore on the Big Seven track scene.
Lyman "Buzz" Frasier, who comes from Silver Springs, Md., also came near to equalling a record the past week when he was over the 6-foot mark but brushed the bar off with his trailing knee.
You, too, freshman, may be able to help Bill Easton in his rebuilding program. If you make a trip to his office, 105 Robinson, you'll get a warm welcome, and it could result in your wearing the crimson and blue for the Jayhawk track team.
Hard-luck buoy the K.U.-track team at Nebraska Saturday was Bob Devinney, sophomore speedster. Devinney was scratched from the 60- and the 60-false starts, hit a hurdle in the 60-false starts, hit within an nich and a half of first place and a half-inch from second in the broad jump.
