KU Woman Boasts Many Golf Crowns
Ry Suzanne Shaw
How does it feel to be a state champion at the age of 20?
Miss Karen Schull, Kansas City, Mo., senior, accomplished that feat this summer by winning the Missouri State Women's amateur golf championship.
Miss Schull, who has been playing golf since she was 15, has competed in the top women's amateur golf tourneys held each year in the United States.
Miss Schull received the Golfer award for 1960 which is awarded to the top woman amateur golfer in the Kansas City area.
Earns Many Awards
She also took medalist honors in the state amateur tourney by firing a 1-under-par 72. She was medalist runner-up in the Women's National Collegiate held at Stanford University this summer shooting a 3-under-par 74 and the Women's Western Amateur in Kansas City.
Miss Schull advanced to the third round of the National Women's Amateur held in Tulsa, Okla. She was defeated on the 20th hole.
One of Karen's biggest thrills in her career was the semi-final match in the Missouri state meet in 1959
She won the Kansas City three-day medal play tournament this summer and the Kansas City Women's match play tourney in 1958. She also was runner-up in the Missouri state tournament in 1957 and 1959
"I was three down with four holes to go and I sank a 40-foot birdie put on the 18th hole and then went on to win the match on the 18th hole."
Hawk Harriers Are Dominant In Conference
Miss Schull said the toughest course she had played on was the Barrington Hills course in Earrington, Ill. The Western Junior Amateur was held there several years
The University of Kansas cross country team will be trying for its 14th straight Big Eight conference championship tomorrow when it journeys to the campus of Oklahoma State at Stillwater, Okla. for the fourth annual league meet
Not since 1946 has another conference team been able to outrun the Jayhawks. In that time (1947-1959) Kansas cross country experts have captured the individual championship twelve times.
The break came last year when Miles Eisenman, the three-mile ace from Oklahoma State set a new conference record for the distance while edging KU's Billy Mills.
The 1960 edition of the KU harrier squad boasts two veterans from last year's championship squad—team captain Billy Mills, Denver, Colo. senior, and Bill Dotson, Jamestown junior.
The two lettermen were joined this year by last year's first three finishers in the Big Eight freshman postal cross-country derby. The youthful trio includes Ted Riesinger, Tulaa, Okla., Bill Hayward, Lenexa and Kirk Hagen, Oklahoma City.
The Easton-coached team's "best" seems to be good enough at least to capture their first four dual meets this year including two conference matches.
The KU team scored its 35th consecutive victory over Big Eight opposition Oct.29, defeating Oklahoma 18-38 in Lawrence over a rain-soaked three-mile course.
This year's cross-country team features only six members, one less than the usual number allowed in league meets.
Even with the loss of five of last year's seven Big Eight conference champions the KU cross-country team will go into tomorrow's league meet as solid favorites.
"We have only six boys who qualified this year," head Kansas coach Bill Easton said. "We'll just have to do the best we can with what we have."
age. She also added that a close second was the Tulsa course where the national amateur was held this summer.
One golfing incident Miss Schull related concerning the qualifying

round of the Women's Western Amateur.
"I was playing with Joanne Gunderson who was the defending champion and Sherry Wheeler who has won the Women's Western Junior Amateur tournament and was runner-up in the 1959 Trans-Mississippi I was a little nervous playing with these girls. They had both teed off with beautiful drives. I stepped up to tee off, tock a practice swing, addressed the ball and was all ready to hit the ball. Just at this moment the ball fell off the tee."
Even Chance For Jayhawks
If the win-loss record for the past ten years of Homecoming games is any indication the Jayhawks have a 50-50 chance of defeating the Colorado Eufailos tomorrow in the annual Homecoming contest.
Five of the ten games resulted in KU victories.
Last year Doyle Schick reeled off 63 yards on an 86-yard drive in KU's loss to Missouri which sent the Tigers to the Orange Bowl. In the final period, however, the Tigers took a 13-7 lead and exhausted a KU drive on the MU one yard line. For the final score the Tigers gave KU an intentional safety to avoid punting from the end zone time ran out, with the Tigerr ahead 12-9.
In the 1958 Homecoming contest Norm Mullen intercepted a Nebraska pass and went 65 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to highlight a lop-sided 29-7 victory over a traditional rival.
The 1957 contest resulted in a 1-7 win over Missouri thanks to a Ray Barnes field goal from the 8-yard line with 48 seconds left to play.
Nebraska won the 1956 battle 26-26, giving the Cornishers a record of 11 wins in 13 Homecoming games with KU since 1930.
The 1955 Homecoming crowd saw KU end Paul Smith break through the Missouri line to knock down a Tiger pitchout and recover the ball, setting up a touchdown. This score meant a 13-7 win for Kansas.
The 1954 crowd, at the Homecoming game were disappointed but not too surprised to watch the Nebraska Cornhuskers beat KU 41-20. This was the worst football season in KU's 65-year history; it lost all 16 games played.
In 1953 a last-minute Jayhawk touchdown, followed by a free-for-all fight failed to produce a win for KU. Missouri took that one 10-6.
The 1952 contest turned out to be a disappointment to the Homecoming crowd, as the KU penalties, fumbles and losses through pass interception, from the Cornhuskers gave Nebraska a 14-13 edge over the Jayhawkers on a muddy field.
The 1951 Homecoming crowd fully anticipated a win over the Missouri Tigers before the 41-28 Jayhawk victory. This win brought the Kansas season record to eight wins and two losses, the seventh best record in KU's 62 year history
Ten years ago a record crowd of 39,000 saw Wade Stinson get the first Jayhawker touchdown in the first minute of play. But the Kaasans failed to maintain their initial steam and dropped that one to Nebraska 33-26.
