Young But Potent
KU's Bill Easton, with his usual well-founded optimism, believes that this season's cross-country team may be the strongest Kansas has fielded since the days of Wes Santee in 1952.
Bill Mills, Denver, Colo., senior and captain, and Bill Dotson, Jamestown junior, will form the nucleus of the squad. Coach Easton is so high on the two distance aces that he feels both will easily be in the top five runners in the conference.

"You would have to call us young but potent," Coach Easton reasoned. "We have some really sound sophomores to back up Mills and Dotson. I think our experienced runners will provide the needed experience to help our youngsters turn into excellent competitors."
Hawkers Eye Banner Cross-Country Year
The highly touted sophomores are Kirk Hagen, Bill Stoddard, Dave Kirkman, Bill Hayward and Ted Riesinger. Four of the five are from Oklahoma with Hayward from Lenexa.
Lindrud A Boost
Bob Lindrud, a junior from Moline, Ill., will provide another boost for the team.
"This team has an abundance of ability. I'm sure the boys will have a good season with any kind of luck." Coach Easton said.
Mills finished second in the conference meet last year behind Oklahoma State's Miles Eseman. The Cowboy ace graduated last year leaving Mills this season's conference favorite.

String to 33
The Jayhawkers are working on a string of 33 consecutive conference wins. The Kansas team last year had its dual meet string of 22 straight wins snapped by the Chicago Track Club led by Phil Coleman.
