Swimmers replace losses with recruits
What the New York Yankees were to baseball in the 1980s and early 1990s, the KU men's swimming team has been to the Big Eight conference for the past 12 years.
The Yankees won 14 American League pennants between 1948 and 1952, KU can claim league supremacy for the past dozen years (1976 and 1977 when Iowa State took the titles.
KU, the defending champion, last four team members to graduation. But Bill Spahn, who is starting his third season as head coach, is confident that the returning KU player will be good, plus a fine recruiting year, should be enough to make KU the conference favorite.
"I THINK that our freshmen are a very aggressive group that guys can come in and do the same thing their freshmen of two years come in and take charge and really get it.
Among the recruits are two high school All-Americans from Texas who signed with KU over the summer.
Gardner Wright, a Dallas native, won the
Texas 100-yard and 206-yard backstroke events with times that would have won last year's Big Eight conference meet.
The other signee, Chuck Neuman, a 67-,bison from Aitlington, Texas, was the team's most experienced breaststroke in a time that would have placed him in the finale of last season's conference
"BOTH OF THESE guys were rated very well across the country," Spain said. "They are immediately going to be a worth a lot of points to us."
John Fox, another high school All-American from Winona, Minn., also signed with RU. Fox swims breaststroke and individual medley.
Hosin to bolster a weak freeskay squall, Spahn also recruited Bob Vose of Salina, a strong distance freestyle. Another freestyle, Tim Free of Océme, was placed in the finals of the National Junior Free competitions last spring in the 200-yard freestyle.
Two recruits will join veteran diver Kurt
Anselmi, who placed second in the one-meter, and third in the three-meter diving events at last season's conference meet.
Joining Grazes in the IM events is Mark Cole. He finished second to Grazes in the 40-year IM and placed sixth in the 200-yard IM at last year's league meet.
Leading the breaststroke and IM force is Steve Gravens, who was a three-way winner at the 1978 Big Eight championship as a freshman.
Jim Sauer and Bill Crampton represent KU's strength in the butterfly event. At last year's league meet, Sauer won the 100-yard butterfly and Crampton placed fourth.
MIKE CHENOWITH, from Pittsburgh, placed third in state competition and Jim Warton, from Kansas City, Kan., placed second in state competition.

"We have a full schedule planned, but I have to know how many people are coming out," Beebe said.

"If anybody wants to come out and have some fun, learn the game and work hard, the kids will do it." But I have no intention of embarrassing anybody. We won't throw any beginners into a game situation right off the bat. The kids want a game, they'll know what they're doing.*
Until last year, field hockey was a varsity sport at KU. The department of Women's Intercollegiate Athletics cut the funds for the team in 1978.
The University of Kansas will have a field hockey team this fall only if enough women are interested in working hard and succeeding. Beebe, coach of the team, said recently.
She said an organizational meeting would be at 4:30 p.m., Aug. 28, at Allen Field House.
Last year, team members raised the money needed to keep the team together. This year, Beebe said, the team would
