In The Photos
Upper left—The KU pool's spectator capacity is shown, only a few feet from the edge of the pool and half of it taken up by the Oklahoma team even before spectators start coming in.
Middle—Members, of the Oklahoma team are preparing for the meet in the men's locker room while spectators stream through on their way to the pool.
Upper right—No, it's not an upside down photo of a man standing on his head. It's a KU diver with his hands above his head to protect him from a low ceiling.
Lower left—Only part of the bedlam during a meet. Scorers, timers, officials and spectators are one jumbled mass. Daily Kansan photos by R罗 Miller)
Good Teams May Lead To Better Program
(Editor's note—This is the last in a series of articles dealing with Kansas University's swimming program.)

Poor facilities don't always mean poor athletic teams as Phog Allen so ably demonstrated for 37 years at the University.
Jay Markley, swimming coach, hopes it doesn't take 37 years of outstanding swim teams before new facilities are built. But he does believe that there is no better way of justifying a new pool than by producing winning teams.
His record so far this year is 6-2 which includes a beating by tough Oklahoma.
Markley bases his hopes for a strong team on a powerful freshman team which defeated the varsity, 56-28.
He is writing almost every top high school swimmer in the area hoping to lure him away from Iowa State, Colorado or Oklahoma, who, after all, have nothing to offer but money.
Heading the list of promising freshmen is Brad Keeler from Bartlesville, Okla., who swam the 100-ward freestyle in 54.3. Bill Sitter from Enid, Okla. swam the same race in 54.6.
It was the first time a member of the KU team had swum the 100-yard freestyle in less than 55 seconds.
Mike Cassidy swims the 100 in 56 seconds consistently and Bill Layton does it in 57.8.
Larry Prather from Wichita is the team's No. 1 diver and backstroker. He is second best in the conference in the 200-ward with a 2:24.
John Jeffrey, butterfly swimmer, is also ranked No. 2 in the Big Eight.
Markley bases his high hopes for the future on such other men as Jim Laidlaw, breaststroker; Jared Fiety.
440 and 220; Jon Poort, 220 and 440
and Ed Poort.
But swimming will wait, just as basketball did. The engineers need more space and so do the business students—they'll get it soon.
Also many married students are still living in Sunnyside and Jack Mitchell is talking in terms of 60,000 people in a 35,000 capacity stadium.
