Jayhawker Track Team Aims At Third Big Seven Conference Championship
Seven five-man teams will await the starting signal Saturday for the 17th annual Big Seven conference two-mile track meet. The race will be run between halves of the freshman-varsity reserves football game.
Kansas, in addition to pointing toward its third straight conference championship, will be trying to better its record low score of 19 points set at Manhattan last year.
With seven of the top nine and 24 of 35 individual entrants from last year's event, contention. Coach Bill Emery expect a student for individual honors to develop.
Kansas captain Bob Karnes will be seeking his third straight individual conference championship. Karnes, who has not lost a meet either in dual or conference competition in three years, will face a stiff test in his bid to retain his title.
Oklahoma's Bill Jacobs and Ray Slocum, Iowa State's Gene Shaver, and Colorado's George Fitzmorris are tabbed as Karnes' chief threats. Jacobs ran the two miles in 9:32.2 against Kansas State Saturday. Slocum was a close second with a time of 9:35.8. Fitzmorris was the first Colorado runner to finish in the meet with Kansas Oct. 29, while Shaver was the fourth place finisher in last year's conference meet.
"With favorable weather conditions I fully expect the race to be run in less than 9:30," said Coach Easton. "The quality of the competition points toward a fast performance," he added.
In addition to Karnes, who has
run the course in less than 9:30 in dual competition, Easton has Dave Breidenthal and Cliff Abel, who finished 6th and 9th respectively in last year's meet.

Coach Eacton, whose Jayhawker two-mile teams have lost only one meet in three years of competition, views the success of his team as indicative of the trend in Kansas track fortunes. When he assumed his position as track coach here in 1847, he found distance men predominant. Since then both the indoor and outdoor squads have been built on that foundation. To him, successful teams are traditional.

Before coming to Kansas, Easton

Dear Fellow Jayhawker:
1949-50
One of the largest and most successful touch football seasons in the history of intramural sports at K.U. is coming to an end. I am sure that the student managers, secretary, and all persons concerned in setting up and maintaining this program join in thanking the team managers and individual participants for the cooperation and fine attitude shown by all who took part on one of the 56 teams in this sport. Without your aid, this 1,000 man fall football program would not have been possible. In addition, more than 500 men participated in tennis, golf, horseshoes, and badminton tournaments offered by this department.
Practice space is now available. Do not fail to turn in your entries before the deadline, Friday, Nov. 18. Play will begin Monday, Nov. 28.
We invite you to join with us in making the 1949-50 intramural program an overwhelming success.
Entry blanks for basketball and bowling are available in the men's intramural office, Room 107, Robinson Gymnasium. An informative meeting will be held Monday, Nov. 14, 4:00 p.m. in Room 201, Robinson Gymnasium, for the purpose of clarifying the winter program. We urge your attendance.
With the conclusion of the play-off tournaments, we will be looking forward to the fine sport of basketball which has been gaining enthusiastic recruits since the war. Last year 132 teams and over 1,350 men participated in this game each week. This season we expect 150 teams with the majority of the increase coming from the independent men's groups on the hill.
We especially urge any independent individual interested in this sport to assemble at least eight men students around him and enter a team in the winter program. This is an excellent sport and one in which you will receive a great deal of recreation and relaxation.
Sincerely,
Student Managers and Staff
