Kansas runners captured four of the first five places from Southern Illinois University (SIU) Saturday in the first cross country meet of the season for both teams.
"California's defense was real good. Our penalties and fumbles helped them, too. I don't know—maybe we played as well as we're capable," he said.
John Lawson, Kansas City senior and captain of the team, paced the way in the 16-47 defeat of SIU. Lawson's winning time was 29:21.4 over the new Jayhawk six-mile course.
With veteran quarterback Bob Skahan. Coleumbus senior, benched with a muscle pull, Mitchell went with Bill Fenton, Kansas City junior, and Wally Hinshaw, Wichita junior. Both are known for their passing ability, but neither has the elusiveness of Skahan.
Following Lawson for KU were Tom Yergovich, Kansas City junior, second, 29:29:0; Gene McClain, Salina sophomore, third, 29:34:0; and Allen Russell, Scottsbluff, Neb., sophomore, fourth, 30:38:0.

In its first two losses of the season, the Kansas football team at least generated the fan's excitement with long touchdown bombs, but the offense fizzled to a seven-year low in a 17-0 loss at Berkeley, Calif., Saturday.
The race was staged on the 1965 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Cross Country Championship Course. Starting point for the course is on the west side of Iowa Street near 23rd Street.
Not since a 43-0 drubbing at the hands of Oklahoma in 1958 has a Kansas team been shut out. Coach Jack Mitchell, however, seemed to take the loss in stride.
