Mills to Represent KU in NCAA Meet
KU's cross country ace, Billy Mills, will be going for another high finish against the nation's best distance runners at the NCAA cross-country meet Monday at East Lansing, Mich.
Mills, who last week captured the Big Eight individual championship for the three-mile distance at Stillwater, Okla., took sixth place in the national meet last year. He was the first American to break a foreign monopoly headed by Australian Al Lawrence, and Polish John Macy, from Houston.
In 1958 Mills ran fifth in the NCAA meet.
Lawrence overtook Macy in the last half-mile of the four-mile race last year, to clock 20:35.7. He went on to earn a place on the Australian 5,000 meter team, but missed qualifying at Rome.
Mills, in addition to the two runners from Houston, will have to defeat several other competent runners if he is to retain his high standing.
The top runners competing this year are: Bobby Lowe, Brown, who won the IC4A over five miles last Monday; Larry Sweet of Alfred, runner-up to Lowe in that meet; Gerald Young, Michigan State, who ran third, his teammate, Bill Reynolds fourth in the 1959 NCAA; Jerry Ashmore, Western Michigan, Mid-American conference and CCC champion; Herman Webber, Penn State, 8th in the IC4A, and Bill Bachrach, Yale, who ran fourth.
The KU senior also will compete in the NAAU over 10,000 meters at Louisville on Thanksgiving day. He ran fourth in this race last year to earn a spot in the Sao Paulo road race in which he finished 10th last New Year's Eve.
Ray Evans led the nation's college football teams in passing in 1942. He completed 101 passes for 1117 yards.

Ottawa's Herb Sutton NAIA's Top Scorer
Herb Sutton, 207-pound sophomore fullback for Ottawa University, is just a breath away from claiming the title of the NAIA's leading scorer for the 1960 football season.
Sutton has scored 125 points in nine games and is currently 17 points ahead of Cecil Stephens of Humbolt (Calif.) State. Stephens has one game to play. Sutton's season is over.
BOSTON — (UPI) — Dick Groat, the "thinking man's" shortstop and captain of the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates, today was named Most Valuable Player in the National League.
The bruising Ottawa backfield ace scored both touchdowns Saturday in Ottawa's 14-8 victory over previously unbeaten Baker.
Pirates' Groat Chosen MVP
Groat, the National League's batting champion with an average of 325, received 16 first place votes from the 22 baseball writers voting.
Third baseman Don Hoak, Groat's teammate, had five first place votes and came in second, 114 points behind Groat's total of 276. Pittsburgh outfielder Roberto Clemente received the other first place vote.
Groat said when notified of his selection. "But I honestly feel it wouldn't have been possible without the fabulous year enjoyed by the Pirates. Just to play on the club was great, just great. It was a wonderful team effort and I was just a part of it."
"It's a wonderful thrill, of course,"
Groat was the first Pittsburgh player to win the award since it was established in 1931. He almost had a tragic season. On Sept. 6 he was hit by a pitch of the Braves' Lew Burdette but recovered in time to play in the final week of the season and to play a leading role in the World Series.
