Jayhawks Capture Third In Conference Swim Meet
"It was the best job we could have expected. This is the best team I've ever had. We couldn't have finished the season in any better way."
These were the words of Kansas swimming Coach, Jay Markley, after his seven-man team placed third in the Big Eight conference meet this weekend at Oklahoma.
THE HOST SOONERS, as expected, won the meet, scoring 143 points. Iowa State nudged Kansas, 74-71 for second. Colorado was fourth with 45 while Nebraska and Kansas State totaled 39$_{2}$ and 11$_{2}$ respectively. Oklahoma State and Missouri did not compete.
Each KU swimmer bettered his previous times in the preliminaries and came back to better them again in the finals.
The top KU swimmer was co-captain, Eldon Ward who, despite a cold, tied his time in the 50-yard freestyle event, the event which gained him All America honors last season.
WARD'S TIME of :22.7 broke the existing Big Eight mark of :22.9.
He also finished second in the 200-
yard butterfly and third in the 220- yard freestyle.
The other KU co-captain, Dick Reamon, bettered three school varsity records as he took second place in the 220-yard individual medley, the 100-yard and 200-yard butterfly.
SOPHOMORE. BILL MURDOCK, also copped a pair of seconds and set a conference mark.
Hawks Seek Third Win over I-State
The KU Jayhawks play their next-to-the-last game of the season at Iowa State tonight still with faint hope of gaining a tie for the Big Eight basketball crown.
The Hawks, currently in second place, one game behind the Kansas State Wildcats, are looking for their second league victory and third season win over the Cyclones. KU edged Iowa State 76-72 in the Big Eight holiday tournament in Kansas City in December and 90-59 in Allen Field House on Jan. 14.
In the preliminaries of the 200-yard breaststroke he broke the league mark, clocking a 2:26.4. In the finals he swam 2:25.9 but was beaten by Oklahoma's Gordon Collett.
Pfuetze bested his previous low in the 200-yard breaststroke by seven seconds to place fourth in addition to knocking three seconds off his 100-yard breaststroke mark to finish third and swim on the medley relay team which placed second.
Harmon set a new varsity mark in the 200-yard breaststroke, stroking for a 2.13.2 mark, four seconds under his best mark. He was third in the event. He also took third place in the 100-yard backstroke and swam on the relay team.
GEORGE TILLER placed fifth in the 100-yard backstroke, Mike Cassidy was fourth in the 440-yard freestyle and Keith Bras placed sixth in the diving competition for KU's other scoring efforts.
"Each man was determined to do a specific thing in his event and went ahead and did it," said Markley.
Track Squad Trips Sooners For Big Eight Indoor Title
KU is still "king of the Midlands." JAYHAWK COACH Bill Easton's squad displayed too much depth for the rest of the field and swept to a 27-point margin over runner-up Oklahoma. 61-34.
Larry McCue provided the initial KU first place title. The junior spinner recovered after falling at the start to nose out Kansas State star, Rex Stucker, in the 60-yard dash.
The Sooners outscored the Jayhawks in only two events, the broad jump and the shot put. They scored second, third and fourth in the broad jump and first in the shot put.
CURTIS MCCLINTON hit two hurdles but steamed home third in the highs, while Dan Lee copped fourth. Charlie Smith pressed Stucker to the tape, forcing the K-State speedster to tie the existing record of .067 in the lows.
KU placed three in the top five in the mile event. Bill Dotson broke a personal record in winning in 4:08.9, with Billy Mills third and Bob Lurnd fifth. Dotson trailed for the first 10 (of 12) laps but breezed past Missouri's Bob Hanneken, in the 11th lap to win by 30 yards.
Only two better times have ever been posted in the league meet. Former Jayhawk Wes Santee ran a 4-06-7 for the record in 1954.
Oklahoma State's Bill Stone went on to post the only new record of the meet, bettering Nebraska's Joe Mullins' mark of 1:12.3 for the 600-yard run by 2. KU's Gordon Davis finished second.
---
One of the most exciting races of the night was the two mile run won by KU's Mills.
Mills and Bill Hayward, also of KU, battled NU's Hanneken for the lead during the first nine of 24 laps before Mills swept to the front. He was dislodged only once. Hayward and Hanneken, fighting viciously for second, passed Mills on the fourteenth lap, but Mills regained the lead on the next lap.

In the mile relay, the Kansas team of Bill Stoddart (who finished third in the 440-yard dash), Lee McCue and Davis finished second behind Oklahoma State.
In the pole vault NU's Jack Stevens and Roger Schmanke were eliminated at 13-6. This was good enough to tie for third.

The Betas are kings of intramural basketball once again.
For the second year in a row Beta Theta Phi's basketball teams collected most of the intramural honors, this year winning all three division Hill titles. Last year they won the A and C division Hill championships.
The victories in the B and C divisions came Friday when they defeated AAA, the independent B champion 42-30, for the B division Hill championship and Jim Beam. 31-26, in the C division.
The Beta A team captured the A
division Hill championship last week.

Lovell Jarvis and Keith Kreutziger paced the winners in the C division victory. Jarvis scored 10 and Kreutziger 7. Richards tallied 12 for Jim Beam.
