Kansas Seeks Third Straight Big 7 Cross-Country Title
The University of Kansas cross-country team will be trying for its seventh consecutive dual victory when it opens the season against Nebraska at Lincoln Oct. 22. The last defeat suffered by the Jayhawks was to Missouri in the opening meet of 1947.
Three home appearances are on the cross-country schedule. The opening one is against Kansas State Saturday, Oct. 26. But the feature of the home season should be the meetings of Karnes and Missouri's Bill McQuire on Saturday, Nov. 5 and Saturday, Nov. 12. Missouri is here for a dual meet on Nov. 5 and on Nov. 12. Big Seven teams will journey to Lawrence for the conference cross-country meet.
The two-milers have broken to ence championship the past two years. In 1947, Bob Karnes, Hal Moore, and Hal Hincke finished one-two-three as K. U. registered a low score of 22 points. It was the lowest in conference history. The 1948 team erased this mark with a 19-point low.
Three Home Meets
Kansas has three of its championship foursome returning for another year. Hal Hinchee, who took third in the conference cross-country meet the past two seasons, is the only loss. However, as his record indicates, it is a big loss.
Karnes Defends Title
Karnes, who was the individual conference champion in 1947 and 1948, Dave Breidental and Cliff Abel will be returning regulars. Breidental finished sixth and Abel ninth last year in the conference showdown. Three members of last season's crack freshman team—Herb Semper, Pat Bowers, and Jim Dinnimore—are competing with two holdover squadmen—Paul Aylward and Glen Barlow-for the fourth position on the cross-country team. Semper, Forest Park, Ill., speedster, won the conference freshman telegraphic championship last fall. Bowers, Big Seven quarter-mile king, finished fourth in the frosh
Karnes bested McQuire in two meetings last fall but the margin was slight. At Columbia the Kansas captain outstepped McQuire 9:28.8 to 9:34.2. It was the first loss for the Missouri in a dual meet since the fall of 1945. In the conference meet at Ames, McQuire finished just eight-tenths of a second behind Karnes. The two should be the class of the conference again this season. An all-veteran Oklahoma squad will be the chief threat to the Kansas cross-country team on Saturday, Nov. 12, when it attempts to win its third straight conference title this year, Coach Bill Easton believes.
Oklahoma Is Stronger.
Oklahoma is Stronger The Sooners finished second to Kansas last fall and early indications are that they are stronger this season. In a recent time trial the Oklahomans showed well. Bill Jacobs, the pace setter, bettered the winning time of the 1949 conference meet by 1.2 seconds. Bob Karnes, Jayhawker captain, won the two-

mile event in 9 minutes, 39.2 seconds.
Missouri should be another strong contender for the championship. Missouri finished fourth last year, but the return of Bill McQuire, runner-up to Karnes in the conference meet, insures the Tigers of a good team.

Scripp-Howard Head Dies From Hemorrhage
New York, Oct. 11—(U.P.)-Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, today called Burt Shotton "a sound manager" but refused to say whether he would be retained as the Dodgers' pilot in 1950.
Shotton Not Yet Rehired By Rickey
Rickey made the statement in the face of much "second-guessing" over Shotton's direction of the Dodgers in their defeat by the New York Yankees in the World Series.
"Burt is a sound manager," Rickey said, "and I'll go along with his first guess."
