KU Cross-Country Wins Triangular Meet Saturday
Jerry McNeal beat Capt. Jan Howell in a close cross-country race Saturday as Kansas swept the first five places. KU defeated the Chicago Track Club and Drake University in triangular meet over the Mt. Oread course.
The race was run in a light drizzle before the kick-off of the Kansas-Oklahoma football game. Kansas compiled a low score of 15 points, the Chicago Track Club had 46 and Drake 70.
The Jayhawkers improved their times considerably over the first meet of the season with Missouri a week ago. McNeal's winning time of 15:08.6 Saturday was an improvement of 21.5 seconds over his second-place time against the Tigers.
Crawford Third
Howell won the Missouri meet in 15:22.5 but his time of 15:09.5 was just good enough for a second place Saturday.
Sophomore Barry Crawford finished third for Kansas. His time was 15:29. Bernie Gay and Lowell Janzen of Kansas placed fourth and fifth. Their times were 15:32.5 and 15:38. All three times are better than those recorded in the Missouri meet. Janzen's time was 55 second better.
Ben Almaquer and Bob Kelly of the Chicago Track Club were the first opponents to cross the finish line. Almaquer, former Notre Dame captain, ran the distance in 15:42 and Kelly in 15:46. Kelly stared at Loyola of Chicago and was third-place finisher in the 1955 NAAU cross-country meet.
Phil Howey was the first Drake runner to finish. His time was 15:50. Drake is coached by Bob Karnes, a Kansas track star of the late forties.
Verlyn Schmidt of Kansas was ninth with a time of 15:51.5. Other finishers in order were Roger Reynolds, Chicago; Steve Murphy, Chicago; Merle Crouse, Chicago; Sylvester Robertson, Drake; Ray Menzie, Chicago; Harry Blusys, Drake;
Carl Riddel, Drake; Robert Nicholson, Kansas; and Dick Wyatt, Drake Nicholson III
Nicholson placed fifth against Missouri but was ill Saturday and finished far back in the race.
Junior Joe Schroeder of Kansas will replace Nicholson in the next race against Oklahoma A&M at Stillwater Saturday. He ran for the red shirted Kansas team Saturday and placed eighth with a time of 15:49. Runners in red shirts did not count in the scoring.
NCAA To Discuss Rule Violations
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UP)—The National Collegiate Athletic Assn. Infractions Committee today will begin a three-day inquiry into several cases which will be presented to the NCAA Council Nov. 12-13.
University Dallv Kansas
The committee's responsibility is to investigate allegations that member-schools have violated NCAA rulings.
Walter Byers, NCAA executive secretary, said all cases brought before the committee are confidential until the 18-member council announces them.
"The reason is to protect institutions during the inquiry period since they may well be innocent," Byers said, "even though charges have been filed."
Members of the infractions committee besides Byers, who, as an-officio member, has no vote, are A. D. Kirwin of the University of Kentucky, chairman; Frank N. Gardner of Drake University and George H. Young of the University of Wisconsin.
Knee Injury Halts Ratterman
George Ratterman, No. 1 quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, suffered a knee injury Sunday in the Washington game that may force him to quit professional football Coach Paul Brown said. "It's a knee cartilage," said Brown. "I'd say he's out for good."
Houston Leads Missouri Valley
ST. LOUIS—(UP) — Coach Bill Meek's Houston Cougars today were just where pre-season dope predicted—atop the standings in the Missouri Valley Conference.
The powerful University of Houston team scored twice in the first half against Oklahoma A&M at Stillwater Saturday and then held on for a 13-0 victory.
The loss virtually eliminated the Cowpokes as a conference contender. Cliff Speegle's team now has won one, lost one and tied one in MVC play and has only one game remaining, that against Detroit later in the season.
However, Tulsa, which gained a 14-14 tie with A&M, remained within striking distance on the strength of a lone field goal. The Hurricanes beat Detroit, 3-0, for Tulsa's first conference victory. Robby Dodds' boys are undefeated in Valley play.
Quarterback Chuck Wines kicked the 24-yard goalfield, the first time Tulsa had the ball. Then, although the Hurricane blew through Detroit almost at will, Tulsa didn't cross the goal line but once, when the play was called back for a penalty.
There are no conference games next weekend.
Wichita will be idle while the rest of the schedule pits Houston against Auburn, Oklahoma A&M against Kansas, Detroit against Boston College and Tulsa against Hardin-Simmons.
Wichita defeated Drake, 27-14.
Saturday. Drake is a MVC school not playing conference football.
Jack Broughton, one of the early boxing champions of England, drew up a set of rules for the sport in 1743, and is now considered the "father of English boxing" and the inventor of boxing gloves.
The record for the most consecutive shutout innings in baseball is held by Walter Johnson who in 1913 hurled 56 scoreless frames.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP) Who's going to the Orange Bowl from the Big Seven? Well, maybe Colorado or Missouri or even possibly Nebraska or Kansas. Who's not going? Kansas State and Iowa State.
Big Seven Bowl Battle Boils With Colorado Setting Pace
Colorado, with a 3-0 record,
hasn't played OU yet and neither
has Missouri (1-0) The other games
for Colorado are Nebraska at Boulder
this Saturday, Oklahoma at
Boulder the next and Missouri at
Columbia on Nov. 10.
Actually, Colorado has the lead and it looks like only Missouri can stop the Buffaloes, if they are stopable in the Orange Bowl drive. Two years ago, when any team but Oklahoma had a chance, the Buffaloes lost out in a heartbreaker. Their 19-19 tie with Missouri, and Nebraska's 20-6 upset win over Colorado, sent Nebraska to the Bowl who lost to Duke, 34-7.
Colorado will be favored over Nebraska this weekend and a victory, for all practical purposes, would leave only Missouri in the way of a trip to Miami. On the other hand, Missouri still has to fight uphill for the bowl trip.
Colorado Favored
While a near defeatist attitude has taken the big seven area as far as Oklahoma is concerned, last Saturday's results proved one thing—that other conference teams may not be as weak as outsiders would like to think.
That is, of course, if the laws of Mathematics hold true and some new fancied ruling doesn't crop up.
The present rule specifies that in case of a tie for the Orange Bowl, the team that has beaten the others tied gets to go. The best Kansas State and Iowa State can hope for is a tie with Colorado. And Colorado already has beaten them both. But—in case of a three or four way tie—who knows what the ruling might be.
Kansas scored two touchdowns against Oklahoma, while the Sooners' three earlier opponents, North
Carolina, Kansas State and Texas, couldn't even score one. Colorado took the measure of Kansas two weeks earlier, 26-25.
OU Meets Notre Dame
OU Meets Notre Dame Oklahoma this weekend could prove once again that its national ranking is no fluke due to weak scheduling. The sooners play at Notre Dame in a nationally telecast game and will be out to beat the Irish worse than did the No. 2 team, Michigan State 47-14), Saturday.
The national telecast caused Kansas to move its game at Oklahoma A & M up one day, to Friday. Iowa State is at Missouri Saturday in the other game this week.
