Big Eight Meet
Championship Repeat Goal Of KU Cross Country Team
The Big Eight Cross Country Championship is the goal of KU's cross country squad at Stillwater, Okla., this weekend.
The 34th championship race will be run over Oklahoma State's Hillcrest Course. The three-mile classic begins at 11 a.m.
KU, meet favorite and defending champion, enters the 1965 edition of the championships holding half (17) of the past conference team titles. Kansas captured 13 straight victories before OSU Cowboys won the crown in 1960.
THE JAYHAWKS grabbed last year's championship at Manhattan with 31 points. The Cowboys finished second with 68 points. Trailing the top squads were Colorado with 72, Kansas State University with 82, Nebraska with 133, Iowa State with 156, Missouri with 161 and Oklahoma with 175
Winning this year's meet will not be an easy chore.
"The competition will be nip and tuck," harrier coach Bob Timmons said.
"Kansas State will be very strong," he said. "We beat them by only one point (36-37) on our own course a week ago. Kansas finished in a third place tie with
Oklahoma State at Stillwater in the Cowboy's invitational meet on Oct. 9."
WILDCAT COACH DeLoss Dodds agrees with Coach Timmons that his team will provide strong competition in the meet.
"We expect to be among the top four team finishers." Coach Dodds said, "and we might have an outside chance of winning. Kansas should be considered the favorite to win the game, although Oklahoma State should contend on its home course."
"We haven't faced Iowa State in team competition, nor have we met Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. But the meet can't get any closer since we've beaten one top Big Eight team by one point and tied another," Coach Timmons said.
"EVERY TEAM has at least one top runner," he said. "I think Colorado will definitely be a factor. They have last year's first place finisher (Dave Wighton) so

this should be an interesting race."

Wighton's winning time last year was 14:12. If he repeats this year, he will be the first to win two in a row since Allen Frame did it for Kansas in 1954 and in 1955.
