Men swimmers start defense with intrasquad meet
By BRETT CONLEY
Snorts Writer
A second straight Big Eight swimming championship is the goal Bill Spahn, men's swim coach, has set for the men's swim team this season.
The team's first action will be in the in- team meet tonight at 7 p.m. in Robinson Natalierau.
"We will be looking to see how they compete and how they are coming along," Spahn said. "We will be selecting all of our teams for the meet against Missouri next week."
In practices this year's team looks as if it has improved over last year.
"We are far ahead of where we were last year." Sahn said. "I definitely think we
can win the Big Eight, but Missouri will be a neat good challenge."
The freetleyst events have been the main area of improvement this year.
pionship this year is one of Spain's most distant goals. Last year KU sent just two players to the World Cup.
"We were weak in all freestyle events during last season, but we changed our program somewhat this year in what we are doing. This time it has made a big difference," Spahn said.
"The guys that are back from last year are already swimming much better than they were last year because of the chapens."
"This year we have got a lot more leadership than we had last year. I think our three captains, Jed Blankenship, Kris Flaska and Jim Sauer, are outstanding leaders. Last year we really had to count on the men to pull us through, which the did."
The distance freestyle was perhaps the weakest event last year.
"We will be counting on Dave Killen, a freshman, in the dainty freestyle," Spann
said. "He ought to be able to help us immediately.
He named three other men besides Kilien - John Amster, Brian Collins and Jim Rowland - who he thought would be important to the team.
"Amister and Collins have a lot of talent and a lot of ability. They could help us at lot," Spain said. "Jim Rowland could help us in the socrine freestyle."
Soahn said he could not single out any
want to simple out anyone because if I do I
need to bring some people out that need to
be mobilized.

Holmes set to fight another comparison
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP)—Larry Holmes, who continually fights comparisons with Muhammad Ali, will fight at the in person of Alfredo Evangelista.
It will be Holmes' first defense of the World Boxing Council championship he won last June from Ken Norton, who also will appear on the card at Caesars Palace in a 10-rounder against Randy Stephens.
Evangelista, a Uruguayan-born citizen of Spain, will be bidding for the heavyweight title for the second time. He fought for the undisputed championship against All May 16, 1977, and lost a unanimous 15-round decision.
Holmes says comparisons with Ali no longer bother him, but there is little doubt that he would like to look better against Evangelista than Ali did.
ALL NOW IS recognized as champion only by the World Boxing Association. But All considers himself champion of the world, and hopes to holiness as a "mariner champion."
Evangelista is rated a 4-1 underdog.
As for his first title defense, the 29-year-old Holmes, who has a 28-4-6 record with 19 knockouts, said, "I don't think it will go further than eight or nine
HOLMES, WHO SAID he "bought for chump money"—about $30,000—when he fought Norton, is getting $1.5 million for his first defense. Evangelista is not alone in which it is $100,000 less than Norton is making for his fight against Stebbens.
Holmes weighed in officially yesterday at 220½ to 208¼ for Evaangelista.
Evangelista, 23, has won all eight of his fights since the one with Ali and has a 22-21 record, with 18 knocks. He won the European title Sept. 9, 1977 with an 11th-round knockout over Lucien Rodriguez in Madrid and has defended it wice.

'Hawk women open swimming season
"I am looking for an effort that is in-
spired. I don't want you to have, I think
that effort will be enough to do."
The women's swim team will meet Oklahoma University in Norman, Okla., tomorrow evening for its first dual meet of the season.
"I think they will be the surprise team in the Big Eight," Gary Kempf, women's swim coach, said. "It's going to be a really tough meet.
The next test for the women will be one week after the Oklahoma meet.
The KU soccer team will take on a tough Missouri team tomorrow morning at Columbia before the KU-MU football game. The team is scheduled to play in Emporia State at 1 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
KU coach Tom Tooker had expected Missouri to be tougher than Emporia. He said he thought that the MU game would be a game, and that KU had a chance of winning.
Soccer to precede KU-MU grid match
"It's going to be a tough game because Missouri has been playing longer than we have and against better teams, but there are some of the same teams that they've played. We haven't played Missouri since last year, when they beat us 3-4 in the Big Eight. That was the first time we've had a big victory."
The key to the game, Booker said, will be his defense. RTU is suffering the loss of two stars.
Included among the 16 to 18 teams in the tournament are Topka, KU, Missouri,
