Freshman Track Team Is Loaded As Usual
Two Good Milers
Tom Skutka and Brian Travis are the two outstanding KU mile prospects. Skutka nosed out Travis by five seconds in the first postal meet in 4:23.0.
Jim Hoffman tops the KU high jump prospects. He cleared 6-foot in the Colorado dual. Russell Garriott threw the shotput a winning 47" 10% against the Buffaloes.
Kansas, which has dominated Big Seven track and field almost as consistently as the Oklahoma Sooners have dominated football, doesn't appear to be suffering any slackening off with this year's freshman squad. The Jayhawker freshman track team has many individual standouts on the squad, and the only apparent weakness could be a slight lack of depth.
Cliff Cushman equaled Shelby's triple sweep by winning the 880-yard run, 440-yard dash and 60-yard high hurdles. His winning time in the 880 was 1:53.8, in the 440, 51.7, and in the 60-year highs, 307.9. The Jayhawkers completed their sweep against Colorado by winning the mile relay in 3:30.8.
Travis came back to edge another Jayhawker outstanding distance prospect, Dale Lubs, in the two-mile run in 9:37.4.
Ernie Shelby won the broad jump,
60-yard dash and 60-yard low
hurdles in the Colorado meet. Shelby
has recorded a jump of over 25
feet in the broad jump. His 60-
yard dash time in the recent dual
was :63. while he won the 60-yard
low hurdles in :07.0
Five of the Jayhawker frosh made the All-American track team while in high school. In a recent indoor track meet the freshmen swamped Colorado, 78 $ _{1/2} $ -25 $ _{1/2}$ . KU swept all 12 first places in the meet.
Logan topped the pole vaulters in the Colorado meet, vaulting 13' $ 9 \frac {1}{4} $ .
Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma also appear to have teams which will push these Kansas stars of the future. The Sooners have the finest freshman track team they have had in many years. The Oklahoma freshmen topped the varsity in a recent dual, $ 53 \frac{1}{2} -50 \% $ .
Edwards expects the Wildcats to hold a slight edge in the 220 and 440-yard races, but he said that the Kansans should make up for this edge by being stronger in the 60 and 100-yard dashes.
Swimmers Face Tough K-State
The University of Kansas swimming team meets the strong K-State Wildcat swimmers in a meet this afternoon in Manhattan. This could prove to be one of the closest matches of the year for the Jayhawker swimmers who now have a 2-1 record.
The Jayhawkers are in top shape and will go with the same swimmers who have raced in the previous five meets. The outcome of this match could be a very good indication as to how Kansas will fare in the forthcoming Big Seven meet. Early season predictions figured the Jayhawkers and Wildcats to be battling for third place.
Coach Chuck Edwards said he expects K-State to be very strong. "Our times are improving as the season progresses." Edwards said. "The teams should be very evenly matched in all events."
KU has meets left with Iowa State, Emporia State, and Nebraska before traveling to Norman, Okla., for the Big Seven meet, March 8-9.
The longest winning streak in major league baseball is 26 games by the New York Giants in 1916.
Bogey was the first international term used in golf.
