Swimmers Begin Season Saturday Against Tough Southern Illinois
Coach Jay Markley's swimmers kick-off their 1958 campaign Saturday at 2 p.m. in pint-sized Robinson pool, gunning for revenge against a Southern Illinois squad which knocked off the Jayhawkers in their last meeting.
"We should take about eight of the ten events," predicted Markley with a confidence rarely exhibited by a college coach in any sport.
"We have about six good swimmers up from the freshman squad of last year who have given us a fine lift," he said. "They will join the half-dozen returning performers from the varsity last season and give us a pretty good potential this year."
The initial event is the 400-yard medley relay, with the KU team entering Tom Herlocker, Jim Laidlaw, John Jeffery, and Bill Sitter.
In the freestyle events, Markley will rely on Jared Piety and Jon Poort in the 220; Brad Keeler and Ed Poort in the 60; and Keeler and Bill Sitter swimming in the 100-yard freestyle.
The Jayhawk line-up suffered a mild reverse when it was found that Captain Steve Hill will not be present at the meet because of an examination.
The sleek could be taken up by the diving department. Jack Uhlir, sophomore from Chicago, was promising as a freshman, and could be a valuable point-getter.
In the 200-yard butterfly, the Jayhawkers are at a disadvantage due to the size of the Robinson pool Since only three lanes are available, Southern Illinois will be allowed two entries.

Tom Herlocker is a standout in the 200-vard back-stroke; Piety and Mike Cassidy ably man the 440 freestyle; and Laidlaw and Bill Waldren are entered in the 200-yard breaststroke.
The last event has Sitter, Keeler, Ed Poort, and Jon Poort entered in the 400-vard freestyle relay.
The outlook for KU swimming this year is bright. The Jayhawkers should give everyone, including mighty Oklahoma, one of the best squads in the country, and tough Iowa State, a close race.
"We have gone about as far as we can go with swimming at KU with our limited facilities," Markley said.

"What we need is a new pool to attract some of the top boys who go to the other schools where swimming is emphasized. We have a respectable squad, but a big step is going to have to be made to insure the forward progress in KU's swimming program."
