Frosh improve swim team
With freshmen eligible for the first time this year, KU's Head Swimming Coach Dick Reamon says he has the best team ever at Kansas.
"We are twice as good as last year," he said. "This years frosh are the best I've had in my six years here."
"The Big Eight coaches pick us as the team to beat this year," Reamon said. "However, with freshmen eligible, every team will be improved over last year."
Reason attributes KU's probable success to great balance and depth. He says there is a possible winner in every event and in many instances a second man to back up the first.
Three returning 1968 collegiate All-Americans head the list of promising swimmers on this year's team. They are Tom Ellis, Leawood junior specializing in distance free-style events; Bob Hines, Lawrence junior specializing in sprint free-style events; and Roy O'Connor, Philadelphia, Penn. senior specializing in sprint and middle distance free-style.
This year's squad will have a new look, says Reamon. Two new classes of swimmers are eligible for the first time this year. The sophomores will be in their first varsity competition, as will the freshmen.

ATLANTA (UPI)—The United States soccer team, which kept its World Cup hopes alive with a 1-0 victory over Canada on Saturday night in a qualification match, will meet Bermuda Nov. 3 in Kansas City in the first of two matches between the teams.
The Jayhawks will be strong in almost every event. Several promising freshmen and sophomores will join eight lettermen in forming the nucleus of this year's team.
"Freshman Bob Bishop and sophomore Ray Powers should be two of the top three divers in the Big Eight Conference," Reamon said. "Neither has had any varsity meet experience. They should improve as the season progresses."
Reamon lists Hines, O'Connor,
Kim Bolton, Overland Park
sophomore, Mike Boyle and
John Dolton, Wichita freshman,
as candidates for the sprint freestyle events. Boyle is a Wichita freshman, and was a high school All-American in 1967 and 1968.
The winner of the U.S.Canada-Bermuda series will go to the 1970 World Cup competition in Mexico City.
Ellis, Bruce Bove, Wichita sophomore, Jim Kent, Wichita senior (and co-captain with O'Connor), and Steve Trombold, Wichita sophomore, will be the top distance free-style men.
"Trombold, Powers and Bolton are outstanding sophomore prospects," Reamon said.
Trombold will also be counted on for duty in the individual medley event and the backstroke events.
Other individual medley prospects are Kent, Bo Darrah, Wichita junior, Scott Skutty, Omaha, Neb. freshman, and Bob Wright, Kansas City, Kan. freshman.
Kent will also be available for action in the butterfly event with Steve Ulmer, Kansas City, Mo. freshman, and Dave Laney, Topeka junior.
Skultety, Trombold, Boyle, and Jim Jones, Prairie Village freshman will be in the back-stroke events.
"Bishop, Boyle, Jones, Skultety, Ulmer and Bob Wright, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, are excellent frush prospects for KU," Reamon said.
Intramurals end; playoffs to begin
KU intramural football teams are winding up the regular season this week in preparation for playoffs next week.
In games yesterday the Independent A league, division I, Chapter Eternal won by forfeit over the KU Band, and Templin B-17 nipped Chem Tech. 7-6.
In the Fraternity A league, division I, Phi Gamma Delta beat Sigma Alpha Epsilon 26-8 as Randy Cordill scored three touchdowns and two extra points. Sigma Nu lost to Alpha Kappa Lambda 13-6, and Phi Kappa Theta beat Delta Chi 20-0.
In Fraternity A, division II,
Tau Kappa Epsilon got by Alpha
Tau Omega 7-6, Beta Theta Pi
walloped Phi Psi 41-20, and Phi
Delta Theta beat Delta Tau
Delta 7-6.
"We have so much talent that some men who lettered last year aren't even trying out for swimming this year because they couldn't make the team," he added.

Last season the Jayhawks were 9-2 in dual meets, and took the Big Eight Invitational Swimming Relays with 105 points over second place Colorado State which had 102. In March KU won the Big Eight swimming and diving championships, by scoring 136 points to finish 38 points over second place Iowa State.
"We sent several swimmers to the NCAA meet, but we didn't score any points," Reamon said.
"This year I hope to send a full team to the national finals," he said. "We've got the talent to do it this year."

Oklahoma's freshman team was best in the Big Eight last year, says Reamon, and they will probably give Kansas the toughest competition in the conference.
"Iowa State and Missouri should round out the first division." he added.
"Our team has more optimism than any team I've coached," he said. "That's a good sign."
The tankers started swimming Oct. 14 after three weeks of conditioning by running cross-country. The first meet is Dec. 6 in the Big Eight Relays at Columbia, Mo.
High school football playoffs vetoed
Murle E. Hayden, state superintendent of public instruction, Monday vetoed the football playoffs proposal suggested by the Kansas State High School Activities Association.
It marked the first time since the KSHSAA's formation in 1956 that the public instruction superintendent had overturned a plan proposed by the high school group.
