Runners Eye Big 8 Title
By BRETT MARSHALL Assistant Sports Editor
With a solid nucleus of returning lettermen, the University of Kansas cross-country team is eagerly awaiting the opening of the 1973 season.
Five members of the 1972 squad, which placed fourth in the Big Eight Conference meet and 14th in the NCAA, return, giving the Jayhawks the leadership and experience necessary for the team to bid for the conference and national championships.
Senators Jim Euel, Norwich, Conn., and Mike Martinez, NewHall, Calif., top the list of candidates.
Other returning lettermen are Kent McDonald, Lawrence junior, Tom Koppes, Lakewood, Calif., sophomore, and Tucker Schaeffer, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. Non-lettermen returning from last year's team are Bill Welch, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore, and Joe Wommack, Overland Park sophomore.
Although the first meet is four weeks away, the Hawk runners have been training hard. Long, strenuous hours of running are required for a cross-country runner to develop the stamina he needs in a race.
Timmons said most of the meets would be run over a five-mile course. The national meet Nov. 19 in Spokane, Wash., will cover six miles.
Timmons said there wasn't much difference between a five-mile and a six-mile course and the preparation for the nationals wouldn't be any problem for the runners
The team's season will begin Sept. 22 in Wichita when they compete in the Wichita State Invitational. Oklahoma State's annual Jamboree meet will be Oct. 6 in Stillwater, and then the 'Hawks host Southern Illinois and Iowa State in a triangular meet Oct. 12.
A preview of the conference meet might take place Oct. 19 when the Jahayhaws travel to Stilwater for a dual meet with Oklahoma and depth will be a deciding factor in that meet.
Royals Victorious
CLEVELAND (AP)—Kansas City's Steve Busby and Doug Bird combined on a nine-hitter and the Royals were aided by three players Wednesday in beating the Indiana 3-2.
The Big Eight Conference meet will be Nov. 3 in Norman, Okla., and the competition for first place will be extremely keen.
Timmons had he expected as many as five teams to have a shot at the clammer.
Defending champion Oklahoma State was hurt by graduation and won't be as overpowering as it was a year ago, but the still have an array of strong runners.
Timmons said that possibly the strongest team would be the Colorado Buffaloes.
"Although the Buffs left their ace runner from last year," Timmons said, "they recruited the National Junior College champion. This will make them very tough since most of their other members return from last year."
Other strong contenders are Missouri and Kansas State. Both squads return several outstanding runners, and this will make them definite threats in the race.
Finally there are the Jayhawks. KU's five lettermen give the team more depth, leadership and talent than in 1972, and it has been a defining role on the top contenders for the Big Eight title.

'Hawk Defense Please Don In Scrimmage
The football Jayhawks run through a 30 minute, limited contact pass scrimmage yesterday as head coach Don Fambrough look at both his offense and defense.
At this time last year, the passing offense was far more cohesive than the defense. But this year it seems to be a different story as the defenders forced mistakes and batteddon several David Jaynes and Tom Krattl passes.
The head man credited sophomores secondary men Kurt Knopf, East Grand Forks, Minn, Jim David, Hawthorne, N.J., Steven Taylor, Fort Worth Tech, and senior Kim Brownan, Kansas City, Mo., with the defensive improvement.
Q: What Can You Say At a A Store With 4,000 Levi's Corduroy Bells?
I'd like 2 pairs of Artichoke cords in size 42-36, . . . please.
Now, chances are you don't quite take a 42-36 and probably hate artichokes—vegetable and color.
But regardless of what color you like and size you need, Lawrence Surplus has it. With over 4,000 pairs, it's hard to miss.
You see, Lawrence Surplus feels the more pants we carry,the better chance you have of finding the jean you want in the size and color you need.
That's why we have 4,000 LEVI'S cords, 3,000 LEVI'S blue denim bells,1,200 LEVI'S brush denims, 800 LEVI's baggies, and more.
But, if you're just looking for cords, you'll find a wall-full in these colors.
