Herlocker, Keeler Set Records in Victory
Tom Herlocker, a 19-year-old junior from Winfield who did not know how to swim before last year, set a new record in the 200-yard backstroke yesterday as KU overpowered Emporia State swimmers 60-25.
Besides Herlocker establishing the new record at 2:28.2, Brad Keeler lowered the varsity mark in the 220-vard freestyle to 2:22.9.
Another record would have been set in the 400-yard relay but a swimmer missed a turn and was disqualified.
"Ed Poort really had a rough time," Coach Jay Markley said. "Ed swam the 100 leg of the freestyle in :52.9, the best time he has ever had (record is :54.8), but he missed touching the end of the pool on the turn by a couple of inches and was disqualified. He also swam the 220 in the fastest time of his life but missed the turn again so was disqualified in that too."
Kansas swimmers placed first in every event except the 400-yard freestyle. First place winners were: Keeler, Bill Sitter, John Jeffrey, Jack Uhlir, Mike Cassidy, Herlocker, Jared Piety and Jim Laudlaw.
The meet was the first of two this week for Coach Markley's squad as they move into Manhattan today for a triangular encounter with Kansas State and Colorado.
The meet results are as follows:

New Coach Has Top Record
Tidwell, the Jayhawks' ace sprinter, is making up an incomplete in one first-semester course and Covey is still hampered by a lame arch. Coach Easton said that Covey will probably be lost for the remainder of the indoor season.
BELMONT, N. C. — (UPI) — Al McGuire, a New York Irishman brought here last year to coach the Belmont Abbey basketball team, has come up with an almost unbeatable team.
McGuire's fighting Crusaders posted a 24-3 record last season and so far this season have won 14 straight against collegiate foes along with three victories in exhibition games against service and amateur teams.
The Jayhawkers are banking on the distance medley relay, with Bob Tague, Tom Skutka, Bob Lida and Clif Cushman running.
Kansas has won this title three times. The Jayhawkers set a record of 9:51.4 in 1954 with Wes Santee running the anchor mile.
Leading off the medley team will be Lida in the 440, who will be followed by Tague in the 880, Cushman in the 1320 and Skutka in the anchor mile. Tague and Skutka are returning from the team which won the Michigan State event last year in a time of 10:09.4.
Although Coach Easton said he was "highly pleased" with his team's showing against Oklahoma last Monday he added that he expected a rough time Saturday. "With
Coach Easton plans to enter Rearick in the two-mile run, Tillman and Okerstrom in the hurdles; Williams in the broad jump and 75-yard dash and Cannon in the high jump.
Tampa, Georgetown, Cincinnati, Bradley, and Alabama universities all have one thing in common: They have never beaten the University of Louisville.
Shelby pulled a muscle as Kansas opened the indoor track season Monday in a 70-52 dual victory over Oklahoma. At mid-week it was questionable whether Shelby would take the trip but Coach Easton said last night that Shelby will sit this one out in Lawrence.
Vic Damone Admits...
Kansas is entering an 11-man squad in the annual relays. The remainder of the squad is Dan Raiston, Eill Tillman, Bob Okserstom, Paul Williams, Bob Cannon, Jack Stevens and Paul Rearick.
