Nebraska Outpoints KU in Season's First Swim Meet
Kansas lost its opening Big Seven swimming meet of the season Jan. 8 to a speedy Nebraska team 54 to 39. The Nebraska team broke three University pool records.
Don Medearis, veteran backstrok-*
The Jayhawkers captured only two firsts, but gained second and third places in almost every other event, leaving Nebraska with first and last.
Don McCleary, victorious backstroke, won the 150-yard backstroke race for Jayhawkers. Medearis, coming from behind, passed his Nebraska opponent and ended the race several strokes ahead with a time of 1:47.1.
The major Kansas victory came in the 440-yard free style race with Dave Ritchie and Bob Wallingford finishing first and second for Kansas. Ritchie easily won and was the length of the pool ahead of the nearest Nebraska man.
Other events went to Nebraska. Marvin Grimm, Big Seven 100 and 50-yard free style champion of 1948, broke the 100 yard free style record for the pool. Grimm was timed at 27 seconds which is 1.8 under the old mark.
Nebraska broke two other pool records. Their 300-yard medley relay team beat the old record .5 of a second, swimming it in 3:07.5. Again in the 400-yard free style relay the Cornhuskers broke a record. Aided by Grimm, their relay team knocked 2.2 seconds off the old mark with a 3:47 time.
In the diving division, Kansas was shaded by Nebraska although both Kansas divers took second and third. Dick O'Neill won second place behind Flagg of Nebraska. Ernie Crates placed third. They were required to do one dive, a back jack, and the rest were of their own choice.
Probably the most exciting race of the meet came with the 50-yard free style. Bob Edmond and George Nettles swam for Kansas and Branch and Harley swam for Nebraska. When it ended the judges had a difficult time in determining first. Branch won, but Edman was so close that it was a fingertip difference. Nettles placed third, only a stroke behind Branch and Edman
Members of the Kansas squad are free style: Bill Roy, Edman, Dick Hunter, Nettles, and Bill Thompson; breaststroke: Robin McGeorge, W. Edmonds, Jim Olander and Phil Hawkins; backstroke: Pete Purdy, Medearis, and Carl Privata; distance (crawl), Ernst Frieson, Ritchie, and Wallingsford; divers: Crates, O'Neil.
Tight Fight In LA Open
Los Angeles, Jan. 9- (UP) It looked like a photo finish in the $15,000 Los Angeles Open today as the four leaders tied at 214 led a field of 69 of the nation's top golfers into the final round of play.
Leland Gibson of Kansas City,
Mo., and Jimmy Demaret of Oaji.
Cal. yesterday joined halfway lead-
ing the Packers in their Mon-
at, the top of the listings.
The weather bureau predicted more of the same gusty winds that made duffers out of many of the top-ranking money players yesterday. Ben Hogan, winner of the last two opens, was way down on the list six strokes away from disqualification.
Gibson shot a remarkable four under pax 67 yesterday for the day's outstanding performance. The Kansas City Blue Hills Country Club pro never has won a tournament but sank two 12-foot putts for birdies on the third and sixth holes on the out nine and returned in a two-under 34 for his 67.
The only other player to crack par was Demaret who was one under with a 70.

Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 10—(UP) Western association baseball officials said today it was possible the loop would have 10 teams for the 1949 season.
Enid Making Western Bid
Springfield's entry swelled the association's membership to nine. It finished last season for Hutchinson, where storms wrecked the stadium twice.
It depended, they said, on whether Enid, Okla., can prove within the next 10 days that it can operate a team.
Another meeting of the league's officials will be held Thursday, Jan. 20 to decide on Enid.
Other teams in the association are St. Joseph, Salina, Topeka, Muskogee, Fort Smith, Ark., Joplin, Leavenworth and Hutchinson.

The Minneapolis Lakers pulled to within 13 percentage points of the pace-setting Chicago Stags last night by dumping the St. Louis Bombers, 74 to 58. The Rochester Royals, meanwhile, were just 12 percentage points back of Minneapolis following their 90 to 75 decision over the Stags in a Sunday afternoon encounter.
