Mary Faust, Lawrence graduate student, literally found the cold morning air in Manhattan a real eye opener, as she struggled with her eye medication.
Many checkpoints for changing teams are accessible only through deep underbrush or across farmers' fields.
Roughing it on the Kaw
for the sixth time in seven races,
kick off a new KU-KState
presidence hall caucus race.
The Kawdws, an independent team from K-State, paddled 90 miles of the murky, leaf-littered Kansas River in the midweek, the race concluded in Lawrence last night.
The Kawadaws crossed the finish line with the cheering and chanting of "Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, KSU" resonating from the west bank, where they pulled in their canoes.
The Rogues, a KU independent team,
came in second, 21 minutes behind the
Kawads. Paddling on the last leg for the
Rogues were Rachel White and
Cindy Anderson, Overland
Park sophomore; and Dave Alderson,
Prairie Village sophomore.
THEERE ARE TWO races every year. In the fall, the residence halls of KU and K-State compete. In the spring the race is open to any team. Independent teams from KU and K-State may compete in the fall race, but cannot receive a prize.
The first residence hall team to cross the finish line was Haymaker Number Three from K-State, one of three canoes that sailed on the water during the traveling trophy until next year's race.
Haymaker Number One was the second residence hall team to finish.
Taking third place in residence halls were the Kawhawks, who represented KU. For most of the race's final course, the Kawhawks ridden their own car, but they finished with just two.
Eric Reitz, Wichita freshman, broke his paddle about 400 yards from the finish line.
Because Reitz was sitting at the rear of the canoe guider the craft, Paul Sampons, Wheaton, III., sophomore, gave his paddle to Reitz and jumped out of the canoe. Finishing the race with Reitz was Kim Wetzel, Greensburg sophomore.
Another member of the Kawhawks, Dave Adams, Topeka senior, said that more planning was needed, but that his team did well for having only one week to plan.
The Rogues had problems throughout the race. They entered three canoes, but at one relief point there was only one man waiting to relieve, so one canoe had to withdraw.
Another problem was that the Rogues had a canoe of a different design, with cushions.
"Our canoe was our only weakness," Anderson said. "And we're going to win in the spring." Not that we were going to win in the spring.
The race began with a false start. In the confusion to get back to shore, many canoers had their first experience in operating a canoe in heavy traffic.
