Swim Prospects Show Promise
Swimming is coming up at Kansas says Chuck Edwards, coach-competitor of the varsity. The facts bear him out, too. Kansas is winning more meets and also beginning to draw some of the area's better high school swimmers.
If the swimming program is to become successful, much emphasis must be placed on a freshman team. Kansas now has a freshman swimming team, according to Edwards, and the team has won two postal meets with Colorado.
Jared Piety, Jim Laidlaw, John Jeffrey and Price Haren, all freshmen, will probably be among those who will form the nucleus of next year's varsity squad.
"The freshmen," Edwards said, "look real good and will help the varsity considerably next year. In fact, they may make up the core of the team," he said.
Piety swims the 220 and 440-yard freestyle while Laidlaw, former Wyandotte star, swims the breast-stroke and butterfly. Jeffrey is also a breaststroke and butterfly competitor. Haren is a freshman sprint man, swimming the 60 and 100-yard freestyle.
Good Squad Depth
Other top members of the team are Rex Fowler, backstoker; Bill Hoffman, freestyle and Herb Baker, backstroke.
"With the freshman program on." Edwards said, "We will probably get some more good boys next year even though we have no scholarships available.
Edwards said he would schedule three or four more postal meets for the freshman team.
