THEY HAD GREAT facilities at the Air Force Academy," Kivisto told of the training camp. "The high elevation bothered quite a few players. I noticed it cut my wind short near the end of practice. I felt much stronger when I got back to lower elevation."
From Colorado the two teams traveled to Puerto Rico and the United States to play games with the countries Pan-American teams, and to give clinics for non-English speaking students. Both games at the exhibition games was played outside on a basketball court which was placed on a baseball court.
"PROBABLY THE most important thing I learned," he said, "was that we were the epitome of amateur athletics and every country was gunning for us. When you play internationally in a different atmosphere. Other countries respect you, but when it is there you want to the playing, there is nothing else to want to do more than beat you.
The KU runners will compete in five meets this fall, beginning with Iowa State Sept. 25. The Cyclones are a relatively young team that is still in a rebuilding process, Timmons said. Southern Illinois and Oklahoma State were also possibly young teams," he said.

Golf Team Is Blessed With 5 from Last Year
With its entire five-man lineup from last year back intact, the KU golf team won* be troubled by a recent loss. It opened its season秋届 Sept. 19-20.
Coach Chuck O'Neal said all five players who competed in the Big Eight tournament last spring would compete this year.
"What's more," he said, comparing in like Bill Kipp of Lawrence. It looks like he might give some of our guys a run for it.
O'Neal said the team would be headed by Roger Wells, Aurora, Colo. senior, who was the low scorer in the Big Eight meet for the Jayhawks, although he played much of the regular season.
Wells shot 226 for the three rounds in the Big Eight tourney at Stillwater.
O'Neal, who took over the team last season in addition to his regular duties as athletic department academic counselor, was also on a somewhat different format for the team this year.
Another strong contender, O'Neal said, will be Jim Dendy. "It's a nice KU's top player as a freshman. Also returning is Rick Hawkey, Lawrence sophomores, from whom O'Neal said he expected a few years later."
Bill Miller, Parsons junior,
and Bill Keck. Merrigan junior,
will face stiff competition to
the team on the team, he said.
Instead of pouring his meager budget of $1,000 into just scholarships, I Neal said he had to use more of it for prestigious trips.
To begin with, the fall season has been expanded. Last year the Jayhawks played one match that included a Noah Neal lined up three meets.

The Orioles took the lead in a game with the first inning when Curt Merton walked, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on Merv Williams.

KU golfers will play at the St. Louis Invitational Sept. 19-20, in the Rocky Mountain College Academy and the Academy course in Colorado Springs, and in the Big Eight Fall Tournament at Manhattan, Oct.
O'Neal said he thought the additional trips would spur interest in playing golf at KU.
"The better trips," he said, "hopefully will bring out better competition among our team."
With the St. Louis meet just two weeks away, O'Neal said that he had to ask the players at the Jayhawks might send the same team that competed most recently.

Stanley said he granted probation not because Gaughan was a football player, but because of the letters he had received praising Gaughan's work with youth.

Gaughan, a 6-2, 27-pound senior from Chicago, faced a prison sentence of up to five years and a maximum fine of $2,000. He and Dennis Cohmla, Wichita, a former KU lineman, were charged with possession of stolen mail. Cohmla is awaiting sentencing.
