KU Swimmers Hope to End Oklahoma Reign
By Bill Murdock
The Big Eight can no longer be called "Oklahoma and the Seven Dwarfs" in swimming, as well as football, said Jay Markley, varsity swimming coach.
An All America selection, Eldon Ward. Wichita junior, will make another bid for the national championship in the 50 yard freestyle. He tied for fourth in NCAA competition last year.
Dick Reamon, Topeka junior, took second in the 200 yard butterfly in the conference meet last year, and is showing improvement.
For the first time in the last decade a Big Eight team other than Oklahoma has the chance of taking the swimming title — and that team is the Kansas Jayhawkers.
Coach Markley is relying on Mike Cassidy, Pebble Beach, Calif., senior, to take the honors in the distance events.
Last year the Hawkers were second in the conference, and they are reported more powerful, and more determined this year.
Sophomores Look Good
Karl Pfuetze, Prairie Village junior, rates second in the conference in the 200 yard breaststroke.
Ward is All America
Incoming sophomores from last year's freshman team are high school All America Jeff Komenda, Prairie Village, and George Tiller, Wichita.
Also a new member of the varsity is Bill Murdock, Webster Groves, Mo., who will be swimming breast-stroke.
A big asset is incoming sophomore Ludy Harmon, Ponce City, Okla, backstroke and distance man who will be ineligible for the first semester along with Bob Schnieder, a middle distance and butterfly swimmer.

The Kansas Jayhawks are facing Saturday what coach Jack Mitchell calls, "the most crucial part of our schedule," when they travel to Ames to play the Iowa State Cyclones.
The Cyclones will be at a distinct disadvantage if Hoppmann doesn't play against KU. Their second team tailback is Dave Clayberg. Mitchell says that he knows nothing about Clayberg, but reports have said that he did very well against Nebraska after an injury forced Hoppmann out of the game.
The big question for the Hawks is the situation concerning Cyclone sophmore sensation Dave Hoppmann. Throughout the week information coming from Ames has varied from "he'll start for sure" to "he's a doubtful starter" and "he may not see action at all." The latest word is that "he will be available for the game."
The KU injury story this week is brighter than it has been in the past. Senior Sam Simpson will definitely play Saturday as will Fred Bukaty. Both missed the Syracuse game. However, Mitchell says that Simpson is not at full speed.
The game is the second in Big Eight play for both squads. Each team holds a share of the league leadership and the eliminating of the other team will be an added incentive for both squads for further games.
McClinton To Start
Honmann To Play
Bulldoizing Curtis McClinton has been announced by Mitchell as the KU starting right halfback. The 212-pound speedster has not scrimmaged at all this week in practice, but Mitchell said McClinton will be ready, but it is doubtful that he will be able to perform as well as usual because of his leg injury.
As there will be the extra pressure of conference play confronting the Jayhawks in addition to climbing back up in the national polls, Mitchell may not have to worry about a let down from the Syracuse loss.
The Jayhawks seem to realize that they are facing a good football team. Since the Cyclones are undefeated, it makes them even better. Looking back at the two straight 7-0 victories which KU registered in the last two seasons, we are convinced that Clay Stapleton-coached squads are mighty tough for KU.
There have been two changes in the KU starting team. Larry Louseh has been moved to the left tackle spot and Andy Graham will start at left end.
Each school owns six victories in the series on the Cyclone field.
with the stress on the importance of the coming game that Mitchell has voiced there is little doubt in my mind that the spirited Hawkers will suffer any morale collapse.
A record crowd of over 17,000 is expected to see the contest that may determine the Hawks' ability and if they are the team to dethrone Oklahoma.

Radio Coverage Up
Interest in KU football has been reflected once again by the KU Sports Network. Tom Hedrick, who broadcasts all the Jayhawk games, reports that the network has grown from 14 to 18 stations for the Iowa State game.
There will be 15 stations on for the Jack Mitchell Show to be heard at 4:15 p.m. Both the Mitchell Show and the play-by-play will be carried in this area over KLWN in Lawrence and KJAY in Topeka.
