HOLD IT—Bob Lockwood, Lawrence senior and KU gymnastics coach, is shown standing on his hands following a giant swing on a high bar erected in Robinson Gymnasium. Eleven students make up the varsity squad that practices at 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The Kansas gymnastics season will open during the first week in December.
Easy Victory For KU Frosh
Coach Bill Easton's freshman track team proved itself nothing less than spectacular last week as all seven of its runners placed above the top times of both Colorado and Missouri in the postal cross-country opener.
Kansas downed Missouri 10-30 and Colorado 15-30. The scores were different because Missouri only ran four men; KU and CU ran seven.
Ted Riesinger recorded the top time of 9:22.5 for Kansas on the two mile course. The next six places were taken by Bill Hayward, 9:23.2; Kirk Hagan, 9:30.2; Tim Burns, 9:46.8; Bill Stoddart, 9:58.6; Stan Mack, 10:02.2; and Bob McKinney, 10:16.
Most Improved Loop Team Next for KU
By Warren Haskin
After almost upsetting the Oklahoma Sooners last weekend, the Jayhawkers will be facing one of the most improved teams in the conference Saturday when they tangle with the Iowa State Cyclones in Memorial Stadium.
Both teams are sporting 2-1 conference records going into the game and a possible Orange Bowl bid is at stake. KU must pull out a victory to keep its bowl hopes alive.
The Kansans will be at almost full strength for the encounter at Lawrence according to Coach Jack Mitchell. Ron Michaels, who has been playing on the second unit, is out with an ankle injury.
Replacing Michaela is Dave Harris, the speedster who raced 60 yards for the only Kansas score in KU's 7-6 loss to the Sooners. Harris led KU in rushing in the OU game with 70 yards on four carries.
The game will match two of the most spectacular players to emerge in the Big Eight this year in John Hadl of Kansas and Dwight Nichols of Iowa State.
Two other Jayhawkers, Bill Burnison and Dick Davis, should be ready for action this week. Davis has been out for two weeks and Burnison for the past three weeks.
Nichols, the allconference tailback for the Cyclones, is leading the league and is second in the nation on total offense. The 5-10 flash became only the fifth man in league history to surpass 3,000 yards in total offense for three years.
I-State's most devastating back now shows 3,534 yards of combined rushing and passing. He trails only Missouri's Paul Christman, and Rav Tvans of Kansas. Both were All Americas.
Nichols also comes in just shy of the Two-Grand rushing club, which
now lists an exclusive membership of only eight past greats. He played the greatest game of his career last Saturday in leading the Cyclones to a 26-0 thumping of Kansas State.
Rushing for 161 yards and passing for 108. Nichols moved from fifth in the nation to the second spot as he had a combined total for the day of 269 yards. His rushing total for the season is an impressive 508 yards.
Still his rushing figure for the year is good for only second in the league behind teammate Tom Watkins, 178-pounder who switched this year from wingback to fullback, and has responded with 546 net yards. Wingback Mike Fitzgerald has a total of 284 to rank fifth, thus giving the Cyclones the finest wide-front attack in the conference.
Iowa State is leading the rest of the conference in total offense by a comfortable margin as it has an average of 347.1 yards a game. It also has the highest rushing average with 320 yards.
Statistically, Kansas compares badly with the Cyclones. The Jayhawkers are sixth in conference rushing and in total offense while the Cyclones are averaging 27 points per game and have given up only five against figures of 17.5 and 13 for Kansas.
KU will be facing the single-wing formation for the first time this season, but the Jayhawkers have been playing in a tougher league than I-State so far with narrow losses to TCU, Syracuse and Oklahoma. All three were ranked in the top 20 in this week's AP and UPI polls.
Coach Mitchell said earlier in the week that the Kansans have to figure a way to stop both Nichols' running and passing.
"Right now, we haven't got a way to stop him," Mitchell said.

The Jayhawkers will again rely on the kicking toe of Hadl to keep the opposition in their own territory. Booting a record-breaking 94-yard punt against the Sooners, he fattened his kicking average to 44.5 yards on 27 attempts.

Iowa State will also have to stop the Lawrence flash's running and passing. Hadl carried seven times for 27 yards against Oklahoma. He is tied for fifth in the conference scoring race with 30 points.
Another Jayhawker who the coaches expect to carry a big load is Curtt McClinton. Curt is right behind Hadl with 28 points and is the leading ball carrier on the team with 216 net yards on 44 carries.

Super Sub!
It's been said that the atomic submarine "Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it only surfaces to let the crew re-list.
Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken valuable space aboard the "Nautilus" for the only soft-drink vending machine in the entire submarine fleet.
Naturally (or you wouldn't hear about it from us) it's a Coca-Cola machine. And not unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite respectable.
Rugged lot, those submariners. Great drink, Coke!
