University Daily Kansan SPORTS Ward Places 7th At NCAA Swim
For the second year in a row Kansas should have an All America swimmer, Eldon Ward, junior sprinter, placed ninth last year in the 50 yard freestyle to qualify for national honors. Last weekend at the NCAA Finals in Seattle, Wash., he tied for seventh.
Junior butterflyfer Dick Reamon set two new varsity records, in the 100 and 200 yard swims. He placed twelfth in the 200 with a 2:09.2. In the 100 yard race he finished sixteenth in the nation with a :56.1 clocking.
Although Ward's selection on the All America team is not yet certain, it is considered to be a near "cinch" by Coach Jay Markley.
Sophomore Bill Murdock also finished among the top swimmers in the country, placing twelfth in the 200 yard breaststroke. His time was 2:25.4, just two tenths of a second off his own varsity mark.
THE THREE-MAN KANSAS team didn't score, but there was improvement shown in almost every case.

participated in the 100 yard freestyle and 100 yard breaststroke respectively but didn't do as well as expected.
Coach Markley was "fairly well pleased" with the performance of the Jayhawkers swimmers and has high hopes that Kansas will be able, with the addition of seven top freshmen next year, to have somebody qualify for the finals, thus scoring.

KU Nine Opens Tomorrow
KU's baseball team opens its season tomorrow as it faces Washburn on Quigley Field. Kansas will be at home again Thursday facing Emporia State.
Coach Floyd Temple, in discussing his squad, said, "The boys who played last year are definitely going to have to improve if we are going to improve our finish in the conference standings."
THE JAYHAWKERS ended in sixth place in the Big Eight with a 7-11 mark. KU had an 11-13 overall record last year.
The Hawks have been hard hit in the infield due to graduation and losses because of scholastic ineligibility. Three of last year's starters, Don Culp, second baseman; Marion Bryon, shortstop; and Lloyd Nichols, first baseman, were lost through graduation. Nichols was the leading Kansas hitter last season.
TO PROVIDE GREATER depth in the infield Temple has moved catcher Keith Abercrombie to shortstop. Doyle Schick one of the seven returning lettermen, is back at third base.
Starting at first and second bases respectively will be John Tonge and Jim Evilsizer.
Behind the plate is veteran Tom Dorney who Temple rates as a fine defensive receiver, but who has to improve his hitting.
THE PITCHING CORPS could be the bright spot on the team, even though the top hurler, Jerry Waldschmidt, was lost for scholastic reasons. He twirled a 4-5 mark last year and compiled a 3.60 earned-run average.
Righthander Tom Holler is slated to open for KU against the Ichabods. He has a 10-8 two-year mark for Temple.
THREE OTHER PITCHERS are
being counted upon for heavy duty this spring: Ken Hensley, Roger Brock and Bob Tryon.
In the outfield Kansas will start with Norm Mailen, Jim Marshall and Hensley. Mailen hit 311 in pinch-hitting duty as a sophomore and was a starter last season. Marshall saw part time starting play last year.
