Top Quality Freshman Team Boosts KU Swimming Hopes
By Charles Bigham
With seven state champions and two high school All-Americans among 22 freshman swimmers, Coach Dick Reamon sees KU's team among the strongest of the future Big Eight contenders.
"This is the strongest freshman team that the Jayhawkers have ever had." Reamon said. "We have the best talent available, and have more depth in every event than any other Big Eight team."
The other conference teams were able to draft only three of the top Kansas high school swimmers this year. Reamon said, "It looks as though KU should be the strongest team in the Big Eight within a year, and will be one of the top ten in the nation in three years.
"Our freshman team should win the Postal Conference Meet this season." This is a recorded competition among freshman swimmers, which is compiled by the Big Eight Conference.
REAMON SAID the future of the team lies in swimmers like one-meter spring board All-American, Jim Askins, Wichita freshman, and backstroke All-American Richard Hundley, Bartlesville, Okla., freshman. Hundley was on a m66 relay team for the Phillips 66 Splash Club of Bartlesville which achieved national honors.
More team strength lies in backstroke expert Jay Allen, Wichita freshman; breaststroker Bill Griffith, Wichita freshman; and freestylers Greg Bell, Topcka freshman; Bob Dalton, Wichita freshman, and Tom Bowser, Coffeyville freshman. These seven were state champions.
Reason attributes KU's outstanding freshman team to the conference records of last season. "With the new pool possibilities and excellent records at conference, we will continue to pick up more and better new talent," he said.
THE FIRST meet for KU will be the Southern Illinois Open Invitational meet December 12. Reamon said he intends to take the entire swimming team to the meet.
The swimming season began Oct. 1, and will last through April. Swimming is the longest single season sport on the campus.
The outlook this season is promising, but the varsity squad has lost three of their "blue chip men." Jerry Higgins, a promising freestyle, did not return this semester. Jack Allen was admitted to dental college in Kansas City. Mike Calwell, freestyle, graduated last spring.
There are two varsity sophomores, freestyle Don Pennington, Kansas City, and spinner Gary Nelson, Kansas City, who will help to fill the holes in the Jayhawker varsity lineup. Also Ted Graham, sophomore

Boyd Smith accounted for 19 of the Beta's 46 points as they rolled past Pi Kappa Alpha.
PHI KAPPA TIETA was trailing 2-0 with about three minutes left in the game when the DU's exploded with two long touchdown passes for the 15-0 victory.
Richard Rishet and Nickols accounted for all but one of Phi Kappa Tau's 26 points.
Arthur Hoyden and Curtis were the big guns for Phi Delta Theta, as they accounted for the Phi Delt's 20 points in the shutout over Acacia.
Delt quarterback Best pitched his team to victory with touchdown passes to Oliver and Fletcher.

Reason is optimistic about the job the returning varsity swimmers can do for Kansas this season. Returnees include all-conference swimmers, Dick Bisbee, Wichita junior; Jim Basile, Topeka junior; Mike Downey, Coffeyville senior; Bill Johnson, Tulsa, Okla., junior; and Ron Marsh, Lawrence senior.

"Kansas lost fewer swimmers last season than any of the other Big Eight teams." Reamon said. "KU has a good chance to be near the top in the conference this year."
That's right, you don't need a key to go to the S.U.A. Carnival, and you'll find the same atmosphere.
