Reamon praises Olympics
Mexico's 1968 summer Olympic games are over, and in the swimming part, the United States has dominated the medals as no other country has ever done before.
The United States won 23 of 33 swimming events, and took 58 out of the 89 total swimming medals given during the games.
Kansas swimming coach Dick Reamon says the reason for the domination can be seen through evidence of the pay off of the United States age group swimming programs throughout the country.
"The girls on the swimming team average age was 17, and only two men were over 21 years old," Reamon said.
"Americans are seasoned veterans by the time they reach the Olympics," Reamon said. "Most of them have been swimming under a coached team for at least ten years."
During the 1964 Olympics in
Tokyo, the United States started to make a major breakthrough in the domination of swimming.
Up to 1964, the medals were pretty evenly spread between Australia, Japan, and the United States. Before the 1952 Olympics, Japan was the dominant power.
Reamon said the average U.S. swimmer in the Olympics probably works out four to six hours and 8,000 to 15,000 yards a day.
"I would say that in the last five years you could not count the number of days on one hand which any of the Olympic swimmers did not practice," Reamon said.
The United States has better coaches than any of the other countries, Reamon said. Reamon is a coach who, like the Olympic coaches, thinks there is not a barrier which limits the amount of work a man can take.
"I don't think you can give a man too much work," he said.

Miswestern swimmers have a handicap because they can't swim all year long like they do on the coasts, Reamon said. A good swimmer must swim every day all year long.

The rising popularity of water polo may help bridge the gap for swimmers who can't swim every day. It is very popular on the coasts, and during the '68 Olympics, the United States just missed winning a medal, finishing fourth.

The University of California has won 25 NCAA track and field championships, 20 more than any other school.
"We're conservative in our swimming in the midwest," Reamon said. "We don't stick our necks out, we're pretty much followers."
Because the climate doesn't allow swimming every day, and because midwest swimmers seem more conservative, few swimmers from the midwest were on the Olympic team.
"KU swimming is progressive compared to other Big Eight schools," Reamon said. "We are one of two conference teams which is keeping time with national trends."
Evidence of progressiveness in some of the Big Eight schools can be seen by examining last year's record book in the Big Eight meet. Nineteen of 21 events had records set in the Big Eight conference championships.
Lamonica's passing defeats Chiefs
OAKLAND, Calif. (UPI)—The revenge-minded Oakland Raiders, with Daryle Lamonica picking apart the Kansas City defense with pinpoint passes, broke loose for 24 points in the second period and then coasted to a 38-21 victory and tightened the race in the American Football League's Western Division.
The Raiders, in avenging an embarrassing early season 24-10 loss to the Chiefs, moved to with $ \frac{1}{2} $ game of Kansas City by picking up their sixth win in eight starts, compared to a 7-2 record for the Missourians.
San Diego made it a three-way battle for the top spot by downing Miami.
