Harrier Championships
KU to Host NCAA Meet
KU will host the 1965 National Collegiate Athletic Association Cross Country Championships for the first time Monday, Nov. 22.
The meet gets underway at 11:30 a.m. on KU's new six mile track west of Iowa Street. Coach Bob Timmons said all previous championship meets have been four miles in distance. The winning time will establish a new N.C.A.A. harrier record.
CROSS COUNTRY Championships were started in 1938. They have been in Michigan State University, East Lansing, for the past 26 years.
KU harriers placed ninth in the competition last year. Fifty-six schools entered the 1964 championships and 45 colleges and universities actually competed in the event.
Individual KU winners of the N.C.A.A. Cross Country Championships are Herb Semper, 1950 and 1951; Wes Santee in 1953 and Allan Frame in 1954.
The Jayhawks won the meet as a team in 1953.
JOHN LAWSON, Kansas City senior and captain of the KU harriers, finished 24th in last year's N.C.A.A. Cross Country meet and was third in the Big Eight Cross Country Championships. Lawson was first in the Big Eight outdoor three-mile run and second in the Conference indoor two-mile run. He finished second in the NCAA outdoor three-mile run.
Lawson paced KU to a victory over Southern Illinois University with a winning time of 29:21.4 in the season opener this fall.
Lowell Paul, Miltonvale senior, was 44th in the Big Eight Cross Country Championships and fifth in the Conference 880-yard run. Bill Saul, Emporia senior, was 31st in the Big Eight Cross Country Championships.
Tom Yergovich, Kansas City junior, captured sixth place in the Big Eight Cross Country Meet and finished 57th in the NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Boxing Bout A Final Exam
BOSTON — (UPI) — Emerson College should grant Blair Richardson a bachelor of boxing degree when he graduates.
Richardson won't complete his studies as a speech major until next June but he faces a final examination of sorts next month.
RICHARDSON, one of three sons of a Nova Scotia steelworker, has boxed his way through college. And on Nov. 13, he takes a crack at the British Empire middleweight title that has been his target since he turned pro nine years ago.
The rugged young Richardson is probably the only man in boxing to be represented by a female press agent. She actually publicizes one of his sidelines which is athletic director of the Rugles Street Baptist Church youth program.
He also works as a broadcaster on a religious network series and manages to squeeze in summer duty as a camp director.
"I TRY to limit my boxing to summer vacations though Ive made an exception for the bout in Halifax, N.S., with Gomeo Brennan for the British Empire title." Richardson said.
Richardson, winner in 45 of 50 professional bouts, 35 of them by knockouts, set the Empire crown as his target some time ago. And he plans to retire from the ring after the bout with British West Indies resident Brennan.
"I've been Canadian champion for several years and rated near the top for the Empire title. I wanted a good crack at it before I begin working fulltime on my career in a combination of working with youngsters and in communications.
"I got interested in boxing while I was in high school and decided to go full time at it after I graduated. I got to know Rev. John De Brine and he got me interested in working with young people," Richardson said.
The young middleweight follows a schedule that would wipe out most men. His average day while Emerson is in session includes two hours of road work at 6 a.m., classes until early afternoon, two hours of gym workouts late in the afternoon, and several hours of study in the evening.
That's in addition to the church youth work and his broadcasting activities.
Rexall Prize Given
Thomas B. Harrison, Oklahoma City senior in the School of Pharmacy, is the recipient of a $300 scholarship from the Kansas Rexall Club.

15. One KU debate team was eliminated in the octagonal, first round of the debate. The other KU team placed fifth in the quarter-finals. USC won first place in the tourney.
Over 60 college debate teams were invited but all other schools were not qualified to send more than one debate team. The tournament consisted of seven debate rounds for each team.
KU teams entered the debate prepared to debate either the pro or con in the 1965 debate question, "Resolved that law enforcement agencies in the United States should be given greater freedom in the investigation and prosecution of crime."
The initial 60 teams were cut to
