Harriers Eye Big Eight Title
By Bob Gilchrist
Track coach Bill Easton said today that he has high hopes of winning the Big Eight cross-country championships this Saturday.
When Coach Easton came to Kansas from Drake in 1947, he found the Jayhawkers the possessors of only one conference track title since 1934.
Coach Easton soon altered that record as he warmed to his work in 1948, his track team setting a new record low of 19 points to win the cross-country title hands down.
In 1950, his cross-country champions tied the all time low, and the following year, with the aid of Herb Semper, Wanted Santee and Art Dalzell, lowered it to 13 points.
During that same meet Semper established a new record of 9:14.9 for the Big Seven conference 2-mile run.
The '52 and '53 seasons brought more victories as Wes Santee reached his peak. In '52, he led the Jays to victory over the Mt. Orcad course and in '53, he established a new time of 15.06.3 as Kansas lowered the scoring record to 11 points and finished 19 points ahead of runnerup Colorado.
Santee, Dalzell, Al Frame and Lloyd Koby took first, second, third and fifth places in that meet.
The loss of Santee hurt, but it didn't stop Kansas as Frame, then a junior, moved up to take the individual honors and lead the Jays to their eighth Big Eight championship at Iowa State in 1954.
The years '55, '56 and '57 followed a similar victory pattern. In 1955, Frame set a record of 15:10.1. Jerry McNeal broke it with a 15:10 in 1955 and Tom Skutka topped that mark
in 1957, with a 14:58 over the three mile course.
This brought Kansas its 11th consecutive Big Eight conference championship.
Last year brought a letdown to the Kansas teams which had sealed up the individual Big Eight crosscountry championships for the past 11 years.
Tom Skutka, who only the year before set a meet record, finished third behind Oklahoma's Gail Hodgson and Oklahoma State's Miles Eisenman. Nevertheless the Jays finished far ahead of the second place Iowa Staters, 37-92.
How do things look now?
Better than they have at any other time this season. Just last week Skutka outpaced Hodgson in a dual meet at Norman.
The two conference foes that Kansas has run against so far this season have been easy defeats. Missouri fell 16-45 and OU was defeated by a 19-34 margin.
Syracuse Is No. 3
NEW YORK —(UPI) Louisiana State and Northwestern remained 1-2 today in United Press International's major college football ratings but Syracuse replaced Mississippi in third place.
Washington was the only newcomer in the top 10, replacing Georgia Tech in 10th place in the latest balloting by the 35 leading coaches who rate the teams for UFI.
Syracuse, moving from fifth to third in the wake of its 35-0 triumph over Pittsburgh, achieved the highest standing it has reached in the ratings since they were inaugurated in 1950.

Buffs Tough, Warns Mitchell
Wary of overconfidence, Coach Jack Mitchell said today the Jayhawkers had better be up for Colorado or they will be in for the surprise of their lives.
AFTER LAST week's narrow win over stubborn Iowa State, Mitchell felt the Jays failed to show the desire shown in previous games and stressed the importance of Saturday's clash with Colorado.
The Buffaloes knocked a favored Missouri team out of the bowl picture last Saturday with a 21-20 upset victory. Plaudis for the win are going to Colorado's
quarterback, Gale Weidner who as a sophomore, has developed into one of the best passers in the conference with 65 completions in 129 tries.
Buffalo coach Sonny Grandellus, hoping for another upset, has been working against KU's offense this week.
without interception.
EYEING THE Buffs' powerful aerial game, Coach Mitchell has been drilling the Jayhawker squad in pass defense all week. The practice paid off last week-end when the Jays snagged three I-State passes to snap Dwight Nichols' string of 101 attempts
Injuries have hobbled two KU gridders this week. Benny Boydston,starting guard,may be able to play,but Fred Bukaty,second unit fullback,will probably be out for this game.
Norm Mailen will replace Bukaty and Jim Mills will take over left guard if Boydston is unable to play.
Your Three Minutes Are Up
THOMPSONVILLE. Conn. — (UPI) A telephone call proved expensive for store proprietor Daniel R. Leary. When he finished talking he found that one of his customers had departed with $400.
Do You Think for Yourself?
(THROW THESE QUESTIONS INTO THE POT AND SEE WHAT COOKS*)
If your studies led you to believe you could strike oil by drilling a hole right in the middle of the campus, would you (A) keep still about it so people wouldn't think you were nuts? (B) sell stock in the proposition to all your friends? (C) get an oil man interested in the idea, even if you had to give him most of the profits?
"Awatched pot neverboils" means (A) the man who made such a statement never watched a pot; (B) if you don't want the stew to boil over—watch it! (C) you can't hurry things by worrying about them.
If you saw a girl perched in a tree reading a book, would you say, (A) "Timber!" (B) "Is the light better up there?" (C) "Will that branch hold two?"
A B C
Assuming cigarettes could talk, would you listen to (A) a filter cigarette that talks only about its taste? (B) a weak-tasting cigarette that talks about its filter? (C) a filter cigarette that lets its advanced filter design and full taste speak for themselves?
Next time you light up, take a moment to think about what you really want in your filter cigarette. Most men and women who think for themselves choose VICEROY,
the cigarette with the most advanced filter design of them all . . . the one cigarette with a thinking man's filter and a smoking man's taste.
*If you checked (B) in three out of four of these questions, you're a pretty smart cooky —but if you checked (C), you think for yourself!
