OU Takes 7th Swim Crown
Oklahoma splashed to its seventh straight Big Seven conference swimming championship Saturday, winning all seven events to score a 161-point total in the 3-day competition.
For Kansas, the top scorer was Tom Cleveenger who picked up 10 points. Cleveenger placed fourth in the 200-and 100-yard butterfly races and third in the 200-yard individual medley. Edwards added five points, finishing fifth in the 220-yard freestyle and fourth in the 100-yard freestyle.
The Sooners more than doubled the 80 points scored by the second place Iowa State Cyclones. Third place went to Colorado with 52 points, Nebraska scored 49, and Kansas and K-State tied for fifth with 27 each.
Overall, the Sooners won 14 of the 16 events.
Chuck Edwards, Jayhawker coach, said he would rate the Sooners among the top five teams in the forthcoming NCAA tournament.
Two conference records were broken by the Sooners. Jeff Farrell bettered his record of last year in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of :50.59. His old mark was :51.2.
Julian Dyason of the Sooners also broke the 200-yard breaststroke record in the preliminaries with a time of 2:30.9. The previous best time was held by Jerry Loar, of Colorado, when he swam the distance in 2:31.8.
The KU 400-yard freestyle relay team added 10 pionts to the final Jayhawker total with a second place finish. The 440-yard medley relay team picked up two points with a sixth place finish.
Freshman Track Team Edges OU
The freshman track team, running up a 12-point lead in the field events, beat the Oklahoma freshman track team $52 \frac{1}{2}-51 \frac{1}{2}$ last week in a postal indoor meet.
Ernie Shelby took meet scoring honors for the Jayhawkers by scoring 13 points. He won the broad jump with a leap of 24-2%, the 60-yard low hurdles with a time of: 06.9 and finished second in the 60-yard dash.
The meet had many outstanding records and compared favorably with the Big Seven varsity indoor meet. The freshmen posted better winning records in the 60-yard hurdles, 440- and 880-yard runs and the broad jump.
Clifton Cushman of KU was the most versatile performer in the meet as he won the 880-yard run, tied for first in the 60-yard high hurdles, and was third in the 440-yard dash.
"This is a fine team, a little thin in places, but it should help the varsity tremendously next year. This is what we are interested in," Jayhawker Coach Bill Easton said.
In an unusual situation, the Oklahoma freshmen outscored KU in the mile run, as two South Africans finished No.1 and 3. Both boys have run under 4:14 in practice according to the Daily Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma freshmen recently eat the varsity in a practice meet.
Tom Skutka ran in his last meet for the freshmen as he won the 2- mile in 9:30.6 and was second in the
