University Daily Kansan SPORTS Golfers Must Divot Indoors 'Til Spring
Bacon and eggs, Thanksgiving and turkey, springtime and golf — inseparable pairs, so they say.
But the KU golf team has not seen it this way. They maintain a rigid practice schedule, involving six hours of practice per week during the off-season. This will be followed until March when the squad will migrate to the links.
Squad Cut to 12
Recently the team was slimmed to twelve men by means of an elimination tournament. After 72 holes of golf, the top ten scorers were to be picked. A three-way tie caused the team to be raised to twelve.
Coach Jay Markley, doubling as golf and swimming coach, said that he had not lost a single player from last year's squad due to graduation. Last year they took second in the conference.
The returning lettermen are Ronald B. Boggess, Prairie Village senior; George W. Elstun, Kansas City senior; Rodney R. Horn, Prairie Village senior; Robert G. Walter, Hutchinson, junior; and John P, Ward, Kansas City junior.
Coach Markley said enthusiastically, "Look, we should be real good if we really work."
Practice Timing with Cages
Practice inside consists primarily of hitting into cages for timing. Coach Markley said, "They can tell if they are hitting the ball well." On nicer days, the team practices on their short games on a pitching green set up by Coach Markley.
"The key to college golf is to score well from fifty yards out — do that well, and you can beat anybody," continued the coach.
Five golfers will leave for Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., with the swimming team on Dec. 18. This will give them two weeks of good golf practice. After that there will be only two months — January and February — before they can get outside.
Coach Markley pointed out that unlike other sports golf has no conditioning factor. If the golfer wants to be good, he'll practice. Also most golfers come from rather well-to-do families so that money or scholarships aren't as important as having a good program.
Other members are Paul D. Carlson, Lawrence freshman; Phil M. Cartmell, Kansas City, Mo., senior; Richard F. Haitbrink, Salina sophomore; John Hanna, Lawrence freshman; Reid F. Holbrook, Kansas City freshman; Edward H. Saylor, Topeka senior; and Richard Whitaker Jr., Kansas City freshman.
Frosh Dominate WRA Swim Meet
The freshman women dominated the Women's Recreation Association's swim meet Wednesday night.
Corbin Hall placed first with 58 2 3 points. Lewis Hall, upperclass women's dorm, was second with $ 28_{1/2} $ and Corbin Hall, a freshman dormitory, was third with $ 27_{1/2} $ points.
Two records were broken during the meet. Carol Hauenstein, Leavenworth senior, completed the 40-yard backstroke in 29.2 seconds. The previous record was 29.6 seconds, set in 1954.
Diann Taylor, Warren, R. I., sophomore, broke the 1955 breast stroke record of 31.6 seconds by swimming the 40-ward event in 29.6.
Winter Practice For Tennis Team
This spring's tennis team will be stronger than last year's second place squad and will be gunning for the number one spot according to coach Denzel Gibbons.
Mel Karrle, St. Joseph junior and number 1 man last year; Pete Woodard, Topeka junior, number 2 man; Jerry Williams, Olathe senior; and Pete Block, Mission senior, are the nucleus of the squad.
"We may not have as good a record this year because we're playing a tougher schedule," Coach Gibbons said. The record for last year was 12 wins against 1 defeat.
The team is not practicing at present. The men are working on their own whenever they are free. This winter they hope to get inside for several workouts a week. Elimination tournaments in the spring will determine the actual squad members.
At present they are carrying a 12-game schedule but more are expected to be added. There is a possibility of a spring Kansas City meet with some of the better area teams, including Illinois. Also there is a possibility for a meet with the Air Force academy during the team's tour to Boulder for a dual with Colorado and the Conference meet.
Oklahoma State, last year's winner, has the edge in the forthcoming season. Part of this is due to their better scholarship program for minor sports, explained the coach.
Other prospects for the squad are sophomores: Del Campbell, Kirk-wood, Mo., Jan Cobble, Winfield; and Ken Peterson, Topea. This spring additional racketmen may be able to break into the squad, concluded Coach Gibbons.
This year's schedule is:

25 Washburn at Topeka
21 Oklahoma State at Stillwater
