Final Grades Bring Problems to Coaches
The semester exams and the final grades always bring long faces to students. But this year the coaches are carrying long faces.
Each of KU's three major sports have lost athletes due to grades, and as of yet there has been no report
Frosh Swamp Parsons Juco
The University of Kansas' freshmen basketball team coasted to an easy 61-46 victory over the Parsons Junior College Cardinals Saturday. Nolan Ellison, the Wyandotte high school product who had been out of action because of a foot injury, dumped in 16 points to take game honors.
The young Jaws' were never in trouble as they built up an eight-point halftime advantage. Tremendous rebounding on the·part of Ralph Heyward and Jim Dumas helped the KU freshmen gain their first victory of the season.
Heyward also contributed 11 points to the Jayhawkers offensive attack. John Matt was the only other Kansas player to hit in the double figures with three field goals and five free throws for 11 points.

from the minor sports as to their losses to the gradebooks.
Basketball was probably the hardest hit of any sport. Coach Dick Harp and his star forward, Al Donaghue and back court man Dee Ketchum both came up short of the required 60 percent 'C' grade. The loss of these two starters will seriously handicap this year's hoop squad. The full extent of the damage it will do will be known following the Wednesday night game with Kansas State.
In football Wilfrid Bales, a sophomore tackle-letterman, withdrew from school. This means that even if he should return to school next year he would not be eligible for football.
The track squad was also seriously hit by the grades this past semester. Dan Ralston, junior letterman and distance runner, will be forced to sit out this season. Another thinclad, Bob Okerstrom, hurdler letterman, withdrew from school.
All five of these men were lettermen and all five were counted on to help carry their team to the top in each of the different sports, but as stressed to each athlete at KU, grades are of prime importance, because without them you can't play.
Jays Snare Third In Volleyball Meet
Kansas' volleyball team opened its season by capturing third place at the Omaha Inter-City Volleyball Tournament which turned out to be a marathon that lasted until 2 a.m. Sunday.
In preliminary round robin play, the Jayhawkers won 8 and lost 6. Bob Russell, Lawrence senior, and Glen Buell, Lee's Summit, Mo., graduate student, led the Kansas team.

The Kansas swim team opened its season by winning three of four dual meets over the semester break and whipping Iowa State for the first time in history, 61-34.
Swimmers Off to Good Start
Oklahoma, perennial Big Eight power, was the only team to conquer the Jayhawkers, 73-21. Kansas' other wins came over Gustavus Adolphus, 57-36, and Pittsburg State, 58-34.
Eldon Ward led the Jayhawkers by setting three dual and varsity records and a new Kansas pool record in taking six first places and swimming on the 400 yard freestyle relay team which also set a varsity record.
Three Kansas swimmers set new varsity records in their specialties in the four meets. Larry Prather won the 200 yard backstroke in 2:19.7 against Iowa State. Dick Reamon and Karl Pfuetze set their records against Pittsburg State.
Two national collegiate records were broken by Jayhawker opposition. Oklahoma's John Day set one in the 200 yard backstroke with a 2:10.4, and Iowa State's Paul Witherell in the 160 yard individual medley in 1:40.4.
Pfuezte swam the 200 yard breaststroke in 2:32.2 and Reamon did the 160 yard individual medley in 1:49.4.
The 400 yard freestyle relay and 400 yard medley relay teams set the other Kansas varsity records against Iowa State. The freestyle team, Jeff Goodell, Ed Poort, Brad Keeler and Eldon Ward, covered the distance in 3:38.0.
The medley team took second despite its record time of 4:08.4. Its members were Tom Herlocker, Dick Reamon, Karl Pfuetze and Jeff Goodell.
The Kansas team had three meets
in as many days here, Feb. 4 to 6.
The Iowa State meet was at Ames,
