Kansas Milers Bid For NCAA Cross Country Title
The University of Kansas will be represented by Bob Karnes, Hal Hinchee, Dave Breidenthal, Clif Abel and Bill White in the tenth running of the N.C.A.A. 4-mile cross country championship meet Monday, Nov. 22, at East Lansing, Mich. Karnes and Hinchee are veterans of last year's team which competed in the N.C.A.A.
Bill Easton, University track coach, was coach at Drake University when the Bulldogs won the N.C.A. A.c. cross country championship in 1944, 1945 and 1946 with the three lowest point scores in the history of the meet. The scores were 25, 50 and 42 respectively. He moved to Kansas in 1947. His team won the Big Six conference cross country championship and set a low score meet record of 22 points in 1947. This year the Jay Hawkers again won the conference title and broke their previous record by scoring 19 points. Bob Karnes was individual champion for both 1947 and 1948 to set a conference record.
In the N.C.A.A. meet last year 153 men started and 152 finished. Kansas was represented by Karnes who placed 5th, Harold Moore, 24th; Robert Morris, 44th; and Harold Hinchee who came in 87th.
The meet was first run in 1938, discontinued in 1943, and resumed in 1944. The team champions were: Indiana university in 1938, Michigan State in 1939, Indiana university in 1940, Rhode Island in 1941, Indiana
university and Penn State tied in 1942, Drake in 1944, 1945, and 1946, and Penn State in 1947.
Individual champions were: Greg Rice, Notre Dame in 1938; Walt Mehl, Wisconsin in 1939; Gil Dodds, Ashland in 1940; Fred Wilt, Indiana in 1941; Oliver Hunter, Notre Dame in 1942; Fred Wesleyan in 1946; and Jack Milne, North Carolina university in 1947.
Fred Feiler of Drake university, is the only runner ever to win the individual championship twice, and he did it in successive years. Drake is the only school to win the team championship three years in succession. Bill Easton was coach at Drake when these records were set.
Kansas wasn't counted in the team scoring last year at the N.C.A.A. meet because only four men were sent. A school must send five men in order to be counted as a team.
Coach Easton regards Horace Ashfelter of Penn State as this year's probable individual champion. Ashenfelter placed second last year.
