If He Wins Olympic Berth, KU Will Miss Silverberg
Depending on how he fared in last weekend's Olympic Trials at Los Angeles, KU may be without the services of Bill Silverberg when the 1964 cross country season opens.
Silverberg, Jayhawker two-mile ace last spring, earned a berth in the trials in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. He spent the summer working in Los Altos, Calif., and working toward the Olympics.
"HE DEFINITEY HAS a good chance to make the team," Bill Easton, KU track and cross country coach. said in the summer.
Silverberg, a transfer here from Warrenburg, Mo. State College, has only cross country eligibility remaining as a Javawk senior.
And he will not be competing for the KU team this fall if he makes the trip to Tokyo.
EASTON HIMSELF will be missing from the cross country team.
He's going to Tokyo as a group leader for People-to-People.
And the successful coach will likely be among several other Jayhawkers at the Olympic Games. Bill Mills, former KU distance man, has qualified for the marathon.
Al Oerter, 1960 gold medal winner, was a sure bet in the discus. Cliff Cushman, silver winner in 1960, was trying for a berth on the U.S. team last weekend.
AND, TOO, Mr. and Mrs. A. C.
(Dutch) Lonborg will be on hand.
The outgoing athletic director and
his wife were given an expense-paid
trip upon his retirement last spring.
No track coach in the nation has built a more impressive record than Easton. Little wonder so many KU grads will likely be competing for their nation.
Easton, now in his 18th year here,
is the only second coach in history to
guide the same school to NCAA championships in both cross country and track.
Only two other schools, USC and Illinois, ever have put together back to back NCAA track and field championships.
EASTMAN'S COLLEGE coach the late Billy Hayes of Indiana, is the only other to build this double.
Easton's squads also have managed finishes of two seconds, a third and a fourth, ahead of their two title years. His cross country crews have picked off three runner-up spots and three fourths in addition to the 1953 championship.
No Big Eight school ever has risen so high for so long on the national track scene. Nor has one dominated the conference so thoroughly.
BILL SILVERBERG
.. en route to 2-mile mark
Easton-coached performers have broken three world records — Bill Neider in the shot-put twice and Al Oerter in the discus.
They have finished out of the first division only once in these combined fronts.
THE JAYHAWKERS have won 11 of the last 15 indoor conference meets; 10 of the last outdoor crowns, and 15 of the last 17 cross country meets.
Easton has developed 30 all-Americans and six Olympians.
