TAKE OFF FOR SEATTLE—KU swimmers Bill Murdock, Eldon Ward and Dick Reamon, from left to right, push off the starting blocks during a practice session in Robinson Pool. This
trio is at Seattle, Wash., for the NCAA Finals this weekend. All three will be bidding for All America recognition. The finals run for three days.
Ward, Reamon, Murdock Swim in NCAA Meet
KU sends three swimmers into the NCAA Finals today, tomorrow and Saturday at Seattle, Wash., with all of them hoping to achieve All America honors.
Juniors Eldon Ward and Dick Reamon, along with sophomore Bill Murdock have good chances of finishing in the top 10 in the meet, which is sufficient to qualify for All America.
Ward returns this year with a good chance of reaching the finals in his specialty. He is also entered in the 100 yard freestyle.
LAST YEAR, the first time any Kansas swimmer had participated in the nationals, Ward finished ninth in the 50 yard freestyle, becoming the first Jayhawk tankman to earn All America.
IN THE BIG EIGHT conference meet Ward, who led the KU team in scoring with 118 points for the season, won the 50. placed second in the 100 and third in the 220. He set a new league mark in the 50 with a .22.7 clocking and won the meet individual scoring honors with 16 points.
Reamon also went to the nationals last year, but failed to make the top 10. This year his times in his three events have dropped considerably and there is a possibility of his being among the best in the nation.
In the nationals last year Reamon swam the 100 yard butterfly in :59.1. This year he has done :55.6. In the 200 yard butterfly he has dropped from 2:16 to 2:06. In the 200 yard

individual medley he has improved over six seconds, doing 2:13.
Murdock will compete in the 100 and 200 vard breaststrokes.
Markley mentioned that Kansas has never scored in the nationals but felt that Ward has a good chance of reaching the finals.
IN THE CONFERENCE meet Reamon took second in all three races. He finished as runner-up to Ward in season points with 117.
He broke the conference mark in the 200 in the preliminary and finished second in the finals. He also took second in the 100 in addition to helping the 400 yard medley relay team to a second.
"These boys have lived for this weekend for a long time. They have been working towards it all season," Markley said.
Murdock was the third high scorer on the squad, totaling $ 78 \frac{1}{2} $ points.
"ALL THREE of the boys plan to make All America in at least one of their events and we will be real happy if they can do this and improve their best times," Conch Jay Markley said.
"ONE INCENTIVE we have is that nobody at the meet expects any
of our swimmers to do anything and if one of them can gain the finals, they might take notice, and say 'Here comes KU,' Markley said.
"It would really be nice if we could foul up the plans of somebody like Southern California (the favorite) by scoring a few points," concluded Markley.

The St. Louis Hawks are all even with the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association's Western Division playoffs because they had the bench strength to offset another brilliant performance by Eigin Baylor.
Baylor, who has averaged 40 points a game in seven playoff games, tallied 35 Wednesday night but the Hawks nevertheless downed the Lakers, 121-106, to even the series at one victory each. The teams play again in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday nights with the winner going on to meet the winner of the deadlocked Eastern Division series between the Boston Celtics and the Syracuse Nationals.
