TOO LATE NOW—It's too late for Penn's Gene Venkze to catch Kansas' great miler Glenn Cunningham. This was only one of the many fine duels the two had during their college careers.
CLYDE COFFMAN—One of the greatest decathlon performers in American history. He also was a top pole vaulter. Performed for Venezuela in the early 1930s.
Kansas in the early 1920s
Dalzell Ran In Shadow
Art Dalzell, one of KU's all time greats, had misfortune of running at the same time as the great Wes Santee.
Although Dalzell had times of 4:13.7 in the mile and 1:52.8 in the half-mile, he went unnoticed. This was due to Santee's record performances and long winded comments capturing the public's attention; if it hadn't been for Santee, Dalzell would have been the conference's No. 1 distance runner.
Also during his career, he ran a 1320 yard leg in the distance in 3:01. It was this medley team that beat the world's record.
Due to the heavy competition of his teammates, he won only one conference title, in his sophomore year. Dalzell ran the 880 in 1.567 in mud and rain. However, he finished fifth in the NCAA mile as a senior and almost went to the Olympics in the 1500 meter run.
Dalzell was perhaps the most unsung and underrated track star in Kansas University history.
Lonborg Lettered In Three Sports
Dutch Lonborg, Jayhawker athletic director is one of only 32 Jayhawker athlete to earn letters in three sports. He also is one of a handful who rated first-string all-conference selection in football and basketball. He demonstrated further versatility by earning his grid letters at end in 1917 and 1919 and at quarter in 1920.
He was an All Missouri Valley guard in basketball, later meriting All America AAU acclaim with the old KCAC in Kansas City. He was a 3-time baseball letterman at third base.
Freshmen Make Swim Future Bright
The return of the entire varsity squad plus some top freshman prospects is making the future for swimming at KU look bright.
Jay Markley, swimming coach said the Jayhawkers should come up with a very good team "if all the boys are back and eligible." Markley said he wasn't worrying very much about his men being eligible—the over-all team grade average for the first semester was 1.84.
Brad Keeler. Bartlesville, Okla., a sprint man that Markley considers the best in KU's history.
Coach Markley said the big thing is that the varsity will have the much needed depth which they lacked this previous season. Markley and his men entered several dual meets the past season where the Jayhawkers had less than half the men the onposing team had.
Pointing to some of the outstanding freshmen KU could depend on, Mark'lev named;
Bill Sitter, Prewitt, N. M., specialties are the 100 and the 220. Times in these events are second only to
those that Keeler has set.
Larry Prather, Wichita, specialty is the backstroke and diving events. Prather is a co-captain and his records are also good enough to topple all previous freshman records.
Mike Cassidy, Salinas, Calif., the other co-captain. He has also set new freshman records in the 440 and the butterfly events.
Markley pointed out that many other freshmen could be relied on to provide depth and over-all strength to next year's team.
Varsity Was 7-5
The freshmen had a 5-3 season. Their biggest victory was a 56-28 decision over the varsity at the close of the season. This avenged an earlier loss to the varsity. Then only other losses were to Oklahoma and Nebaska. They defeated Nebraska once, Colorado twice and Minnesota once. All of the freshman meets were postal meets except the two encounters with the varsity.
The varsity finished the season with a 7-5 record in dual meets. Their biggest surprise was in the Big Eight meet at Ames, Iowa, where they took third place in the conference. This was a jump from
last place where KU finished the previous year.
Mackley said the conference swimming coaches are trying to initiate a plan for 1958-59 season. He said the plan, if conference officials approve it, would mean that when a conference football team played at KU on Saturday, the swimming squads of the two schools would meet the previous Friday night. When the KU football team plays a conference opponent away from home, the swimming team would travel to that school for a Friday night meet.
Markley said that KU does do some recruiting but not to the extent it would like to. He said the main trouble is that there are not enough scholarships to offer prospects.
Carrier Leaves Kansas
Kaasas' expected spring practice letterman turnout was reduced to 23 recently when Larry Carrier, first-team right half of last season, withdrew from school. 'Carrier was a senior and considered one of the best backfield men on the 1957 squad.
Times Most Important
Markley said the first thing he looks for in a prospect is the times the boy has recorded. He said the grades of the boy are then checked. He said the prospect must have at least a "B" average for them to become interested in him. He said the desire the boy has and the boy's personality are also important factors.
Members of the swimming team have pointed out that there are many students present at KU that could be a big help to the swimming team if they would come out.
Bradley Was KU's 1st Olympic Performer
Everett Bradley was KU's first Olympic team member who won second place in the pentathlon at Antwern.
Bradley turned in an odd but sensational performance at the 1922 Drake Relays by bagging both the broad jump and shot put, two completely unrelated events, at 23 feet 3 inches and 42 feet $6^{4}$ inches respectively. His first mark set a new record at the time.
