Herlocker Breaks His Own Records
Tom Herlocker, Winfield senior,
broke his own KU Varsity swim-
ming record in the 200-yard back-
stroke Sunday afternoon in the
annual Frosh-Varsity preview.
While this fact is not astonishing—records were either broken or tied in every event during the meet—the fact that he has broken the record in the same event four times in the last four KU meets, is.
Herlocker began competitive swimming as a sophomore at Kansas. He transferred to KU after one year at Stanford University and was not eligible to compete until his junior year.

Wichita Victory Fourth Straight
WICHITA — (UPI)— The University of Wichita scored its fourth straight victory of the basketball season last night by toppling Abilene Christian 91-66.
The Shockers held the Texas team at bay for the first 12 minutes of play while resting its regulars, then went on to hand the visitors their fourth loss in a row.
Wichita was ahead 22-19 when the regulars entered the game and led by only 42-41 at halftime. Midway in the second half, however, they moved to 10 points ahead and behind the sharp shooting of Al Tate, the Shockers stayed out in front.
During his sophomore year he spent his time trying to get to the point where he could swim 10 lengths of the pool—the required distance of his event. At the end of his first season he managed to negotiate the distance in less than three minutes.
Last winter he ended the dual meet season by breaking the Varsity backstroke record in each of the last three meets. His best time was 2:23.5.
Herlocker started off this year with a time of 2:22.8 in his first time trial after a summer of swimming for the Topeka Recreation Commission.
Coach Jay Markley, high in his praise of the ace backstroker, said today that Herlocker will probably shatter the conference standard in that event.
"He'll probably do it in that time too."
"His goal for the season is 2:10." Coach Markley said.
The conference record is 2:11.1 set four years ago. by Lin Meiring of Oklahoma.
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The Boxing Writers' Assn, today awarded the fighter - of - the - year trophy to heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson and the long, meritorious-service award to fight-manager Marv Jenson in a "Scandinavian double."
Johansson Voted Fighter of Year
Unbeaten Johansson of Sweden is the first European to win the coveted Edward J. Neil Memorial plaque for fighters of the year since its inception in 1938.
Jenson of West Jordan, Utah — manager of middleweight champion Gene Fuller — is the first Utahborn notable to win the 20-year-old James J. Walker memorial trophy for long and meritorious service to the sport. Jenson's father is Swedish and his mother was Norwegian.
Presentation of the trophies to Ingemar and Marv will be made at the writers' annual dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Jan. 14.
Handsome Ingemar, 27, was voted the Neil trophy because of his sensational upset victory over Floyd Patterson June 26, and it's shot-in-the-arm to boxing. The Goteburg slugger won the crown and his 23rd professional victory by flooring Patterson seven times for a technical knockout in the third round at Yankee Stadium.
MU Coach Had Faith in Team
Missouri Coach Sparky Stalcup said his Tigers had a good chance of upsetting highly-regarded Indiana, and the veteran basketball mentor apparently knew what he was talking about.
By United Press International
The Tigers turned the trick 79-76 Monday night. And the secret to their success was an air-tight defense that draped around All-America candidate Walter Bellamy, the 6-foot 10-inch junior scoring ace for the Hoosiers.
The Missouri defense was so tight on Bellamy that the lanky Indiana star collected four fouls early in the first half, then fouled out one minute deep in the second half and finished with only six points.
Joe Scott, the sensational 6-foot 4-inch junior guard, kept Missouri ahead with his fine outside shooting. He sank 10 of 18 from the field and connected on 11 of 12 free throws to wind up with 31 points.
It marked the third straight game in which Scott has scored 20 or more points. He has 78 points for the year.
Incidentally, the win was the third straight for Missouri, a team that managed only six victories in 25 games last year.
Elsewhere around the Big Eight, Nebraska surprised Minnesota 76-77, despite a 32-point performance by the Gophers' Ron Johnson; and Colorado trimmed New Mexico 82-60.
No Big Eight teams saw action last night.
O-State Gridmen Sign Pro Contracts
HOUSTON, Tex. — (UPI) — K. S.
(Bud) Adams announced today he signed two of Oklahoma State's top players for his newly organized Houston Oilers of the American Football League.
The players, center Don Hitt and halfback Tony Banfield, were Adams' first conquests for his lineup scheduled to take the field in 1960.
Oiler president-owner Adams said, "we feel that in obtaining both Hitt and Banfield, the Houston Oilers professional football team is indeed fortunate since our scouts are unanimous in the belief that these two young men are great pro prospects."

Schwartzwalder Is Coach of the Week
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — (UPI) — The ease displayed by his team in clinching the national championship Saturday today earned for Ben Schwartzwalder the honor of United Press International Coach of the Week.
The selection of Schwartzwalder, the second time this season UPI has honored the former paratrooper, came a day after his undefeated team was named the UPI national champions for 1959.
Going into Syracuse's final game of the regular season, against UCLA, it was generally conceded that a strong victory would cement the collegiate championship for the Orange. The UCLANS, a fast-finishing team after a slow start, had earned themselves the title of giant-killer for the way they downed Southern California several weeks earlier. At the time Southern Cal was undefeated and ranked second in the country.
After Schwartzwaler effectively used two strong units to overwhelm the Bruins, 36-8, there was little
doubt that the Orange deserved their number-one rating. It was the first time Syracuse ever finished anywhere near the top and also the first time in 71 years of football the Orange had an undefeated season.
For Schwartzwalder it climaxed 11 years of toil at Syracuse during which he brought the Orange from a generally low caliber to national prominence.
