6 Tuesday, September 13, 1977 University Daily Kansan Spahn shooting for top Snorts Writer By KENDAVIS Bill Spahn may not have a desk in his Allen Field House office, but that does not mean he is not working. Spahn, the new men's swimming coach at the University of Kansas, ran his team through their first workouts last week. And, seeing anyone other than Dick Reamon at the helm of the Jayhawks is quite a change for followers of KU swimming.

Big Eight, Dick Kernam was KU swimming. swimming. BUT THAT DOES not bother Spahn. "I'm not worried," Spain said. "Dick had a great record here. His string of Big Eight championships would be pretty hard to beat, but I think we're in a little different time. Dick and I are good friends. I really respect you, but he's done but I don't ask about it in I'm doing and what I plan to do here." "Bill Spain clearly has the kind of experience and knowledge we are looking for," Walker said last April in his appointment announcement. "He is well respected by his peers throughout the country and has coached some of our current swimmers. I am very pleased he has accepted the position." Rheason called Spahn last winter when KU was looking for a new coach. He did not tell Spahn that he wanted to consider the job. Rheason wanted Spahn to consider the job. After applying for the position, Spahn met with Clyde Walker, KU athletic director, Jerry Waugh, and the director of sports director. SPAHN WAS COACH of the Wichita Swim Club for the last six years. During his tenure with the swim club, his teams won numerous AUU indoor and championship races. Many of Spahn's swimmers have placed in national meets. "I felt this was a good opportunity and opportunities to coach in college don't come very often. Most of your really good swimmers are good students and interested in swimming." University of Kansas would attract good student athletes. I "THOUGHT WE had a good recruiting year. We got some good prospects; boys who I think will be able to compete successfully in the Big Eight right away as freshmen. I think they are capable of being well in the Big Eight championships." Five of Kansas' nine recruits come from Wichita, showing Spahn's popularity in that area. The nine newcomers are expected to add great depth to a team that returns all but three swimmers from last season. Lost to graduation were Mike Alley, Ben Wagner and Gordon Docking. wrote that the past two years, KU has finished third and fourth in the Big Eight Championship meet. Spain has his sights on a national level of excellence for KU and said he will not be satisfied with just being No. 1 in the Big Eight. "I think an awful lot towards the national level of swimming," he said. If we expect to break into a national level, we had better dample the Big Eight. Consultation KANSAN Baseball Standings Bill Spain, new head swimming coach, is learning a lot about his swimmers during the first days of practice.

The Chiefs also cut second-year men Glynn Harrison, a running back, and Orrin Olsen, a center, and free agent wide receiver Gerald Butler.

Estes was a six-year veteran out of Alcorn A & M who came to the Chiefs when the World Football League collapsed.
