Kittens Become Tigers
DICK REAMON, co-captain of the 1990 KU swimming team, pauses on the pool ladder during a squad practice.
Swimming Team Set For Title Contention
Swimming Coach Jay Markley has salvaged the sagging Jayhawker hopes to the point where the Kansas are able foes of every Big Eight swimming team — including Oklahoma, conference champions for the last decade.
One of the most outstanding and dedicated swimmers on the KU squad is Dick Reamon, Topeka junior, who is a very strong threat to Oklahoma swimmers for the conference championship in the 130-yard and 203-yard butterfly events.
Coach Markley says that if there were more swimmers for KU with the dedication of Dick Reamon, KU
would be the team to beat in the conference, and not Oklahoma.
In his first year on the varsity squad, he went with freestyle sprinter Elden Ward, Wichita junior, to the NCAA meet in Dallas, Texas These were the first two Kansas University swimmers ever to compete at the National meet. Reamon hit his best time at that meet, when he covered the course in 59.1 seconds. His 200-yard time dropped another eleven seconds when he swam it in 2:16.2
This year, as a junior, his first workout sprint in the 100-yard butterfly went a full second better than his best previous time!
"Programs! Programs! You can't watch the game without a program."
Athletes Help Pay Expenses
As the fans begin to fill the football stadium for the Saturday football games many young men can be seen milling through the crowds selling programs or waiting inside the stadium to entice the football enthusiasts to rent a back-rest to make their afternoon of watching the game more enjoyable.
Jobs Defray Athlete's Expenses
Jobs such as these offer the university athletes, not on full scholarship, a chance to earn money to help pay school expenses.
Few Minor Sport Scholarships
The majority of the jobs are taken by the athletes participating in the minor sports at the university.
Girls Follow Close Pattern
KU does not offer many scholarships for minor sports and the athletes must then have some other way to augment their college funds.
As a rule, only one play is used to any extent. Although it is not defined in any official coaching manual, it might be called "dribble, charge, close eyes and shoot," preferably taking into some consideration the approximate location of the basket. Signals are transmitted by facial expressions.
Do you know what the girl you take dancing on Sunday may be doing next Tuesday?
The tongue stuck slightly out between tightly closed teeth indicates that she's going after the rebound. A frighteningly firm look with jaws clenched together means that she's going to "tie up" the ball. An extremely wild-eyed, anxious expression is the signal that she has dribbled twice and would like to pass . . . to a member of her own team if possible.
Watch out! That wide-eyed, soft-
speaking, sweet-smelling epitome of
femininity that you date may secre-
tely be a female athlete!
Floyd Temple, head baseball coach, said, "We offer only four and one-half baseball scholarships. Missouri offers 14, Oklahoma 16, and Oklahoma State 20. We must play these teams on an equal basis, but they can offer their players more to lessen the monetary strain of going to college."
Girls' basketball resembles boys' only in theory and object. A team consists of six players which are divided into forwards and guards. Any similarity beyond this point is fleeting and coincidental.
Each girl plays only half of the court. If she steps beyond the center line, (this does not include dangling precariously over it grabbing for the ball) a technical violation is called. The ball is then given to the opposing side.
Unclaimed balls loose on the floor are stricly big same to be pursued only by those in the finest physical condition. Such a circumstance invariably results in what is known in football terminology as a "scrimmage."
In "intramural land," this is commonly known as basketball season. This is the time of transformation. The heels and sheaths are sheed for sweatshirts, shorts and gym shoes. The glasses come off, the hair comes down and the kittens become tizers.
Temple concluded by saying, "We now have four and one-half more baseball scholarships than we had when I came here. I hope that we can continue to increase this number as well as increase the number of scholarships offered for the other minor sports. Until then, these jobs offer the athlete an excellent chance to help finance his way through school."
Coach Markley gives two reasons for Dick Reamons's success. "In the first place, Dick has very high ideals. He sets his mind on a certain goal in swimming, and will work until that goal is achieved. Secondly, he spends all year round swimming. He doesn't lay off in the summer, but instead, he works. That makes a tremendous difference in his times when he gets back to college competition.
Temple said that the pay for these jobs is set by the initiative of the individual. "The more they sell, the more they get paid."

It is a rugged encounter which would put fear in the heart of the toughest lineman. Injuries to date, after three evenings of play, include an injured back, a grossly malfunctioning knee and umpenether and twenty-two skinned elbows, knees and purple bruises.

Girls' rules allow only two dribbles. There are few dependable things in life, but you may be confident that regardless of how many unguarded players are waiting under the basket, the normal feminine player GETS HER TWO DRIBBLES!
usually continues, to the dismay of the referees, for some time after play has been resumed.
Time-outs also lend themselves to human interest. These are one minute periods in which the captain pants indecipherable tidbits of strategy to which the team, sprawled exhausted from one end of the court to the other, half-heartedly agrees.
The Big Game
On the night of the big contest,
(IOU vs. U Bettea) the game moves at a furious pace. Each step of each player is decisive . . . determined,
in spite of the fact there may be someone under it.
In the meantime, those who are coming into the game as substitutes, scurry from one unconscious athlete to the next, trying to figure out which positions they are to play. This somewhat disorganized inquiry
There are all types of dribbling, passing and shooting imaginable . . . the ball is "died up" often . . .

Beware, mankind! Do not be missed by dainty disguises. You do not realize the violence, the strength, the endurance, the strategy, the vocal volume of which your girl friend is capable.
You will never know her "real she" until you've seen her on the basketball court.
