The KU freshman cross-country team, following a winning tradition established by freshmen and varsity teams before it, captured the national freshman cross-country postal meet conducted by Track and Field News Magazine last fall.
In the Big Eight indoor postal meet the fresh slipped but still finished in second place.
The fresh harriers swept through a 14 meet postal schedule winning 13 and losing one. They lost to Stanford, who had some of the best fresh distance runners in the nation.

COACH MARKLEY EXPECTS to have a good team for the future due to an outstanding freshman team. The nucleus of the fresh squad is: Paul Carlson, Lawrence; John Hanna, Lawrence; Reid Holbrook, Kansas City; David Gray, Lawrence; Fred Gollier, Ottawa; and Joe Hambright, Plainville. All freshmen and varsity members were chosen by a fall qualification tournament.
So far this year the weather has hampered the team.
"The best practice we've had all year came when the majority of the boys went to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for two weeks over the Christmas vacation. I've had the team practicing for several months in the Field House, hitting into nets, but nothing takes the place of outside experience," said Markley.
DESPITE THE DISAGREEABLE weather, the Jayhawk linksmen won their first two matches against Wichita and Missouri by decisive margins.
In golf, as in track and tennis, the matches prior to the conference meet have no bearing on the final standings. However, they do serve as a good indication of the caliber of competition a team can expect to face in the meet.
Markley believes the KU team is in good shape at the present time, but nowhere near the condition they must attain if they are to dethrone O-State.
But, Coach Markley feels his squad should be in top shape for the Big Eight Meet.
the high jump; Lecnard Scott, third in the bread jump and fifth place tie in the 60 yard dash; J. S. Tiertied for third in the 60 yard high hurdles and fourth in the 60 yard low hurdles; Dan Hudgins, third place tie in the 60 yard low hurdles. George Cabrera, fourth in the two mile; Yul Yost, fifth in the shot put.
IN INDOOR DUAL postal meets the frosh finished with a 6-4 mark. The Hawks posted wins over Cornell, Duke, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Washington State. They lost to Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Michigan State.
Coane was the team's top indoor performer as he scored $205\frac{3}{4}$ points for a new school record. He averaged about $181\frac{1}{2}$ points per meet for 11 duals.
Coine won points in the 440, 880, 1000, mile and two-mile races. Up to the Big Eight meet, he had won every 880 yard run with the exception of the Missouri meet when Bill Rawson defeated him with a 1:547. In outdoor track the freshmen are on an ambitions schedule.
They have challenged 34 schools to postal meets. Their opponents include Army, Navy, Air Force, Southern California, Occidental, Oregon State and Villanova.
IF THE THREE SERVICE academies accept this will be the first time that any school has competed against all three service schools in postal freshman competition.
In outdoor track the freshmen have an ambitious schedule.
Southern California, Occidental, Oregon State and Villanova have outstanding freshman units and will provide strong competition. Also on the schedule is Hawaii.
Doug Stoner, George Barnard, Twiss, and Yost have been top performers in addition to Coane. Stoner is a transfer from Santa Anna, California Junior College and won second in the discus at the National Junior College Track Meet. His best heave is 165 feet which is comparable to varsity distances.
TWISS, A KANSAS CITY. Missouri, product is a good high jump prospect having cleared 6-4. Yost, a Yugoslavian who is an all-world volleyball player, is participating in track for the first time and putting the shot over 50 feet. Barnard, a Hutchinson juco transfer, is a top half-mile prospect.
In his first year at the helm of the frosh is assistant coach, Bob Lawson. Last year, Lawson served as assistant coach at Oregon State.
At traditionally great cinder power, Southern Cainiformia, Lawson was one of the finest all-round track hands. He was primarily a hurdler but also competed in the decathlon. In 1956 he barely missed the Olympics by finishing fourth in the Olympic trials.
FOR TWO YEARS he was the Pacific Coast Conference's hurdle champion. He placed fourth in the NCAA and NAAU in the high hurdles in 1958.
