Coed 'Takes Cue' for Tourney
Bv Suzy Tichacek
After having played billiards for only three years, Betty Jo Hember, Shawnee Mission senior, will try for a billiard crown in the National Intercollegiate Billiard Championships
A field of 12, including two repeat contenders, will enter the national finals held Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Over 12,000 students throughout the nation representing 160 colleges and universities entered preliminary competition leading to campus and regional tournaments to select finalists. The Association of College Unions and the Billiard Congress of America co-sponsor the annual event for both men students and co-eds.
Miss Member won the KU women's tournament and then went onto
the regional tournament, held this year at Kansas State University. She won the regional tournament for the third year. "I just keep trying," Miss Hember said.
THERE ARE three other contenders for the national title in the co-ed pocket billiards division. These girls represent the University of New Mexico, the University of Texas, and Washington State University.
Miss Hember said she became interested in billiards when she was a freshman. "I was at a bowling tournament at the time," she said, "when I met one of the competitors who was the national intercollegiate billiards champion. She took another girl and I to play billiards."
Miss Hember is now student teaching at three schools in the Kansas City area. She teaches physical education to elementary and senior high students. "With having to prepare my lessons each day," Miss Member said, "I don't have enough time to practice."
WHEN ASKED if she was excited about the tournament she replied, "Oh yes! But I don't consider myself good enough to be playing in a national tournament-I just haven't played that long."
Referee Named for Big 8 Meet
"Concerned isn't quite the word for how I feel," Miss Hember said. "Worried is more appropriate."
LINCOLN, Neb.—Ward Haylett, former Kansas State University track and field coach for 35 years and one of the outstanding figures in his profession during his colorful career, has been named referee of the 1965 Big Eight Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The 37th annual outdoor carnival will be held at the University of Nebraska's Memorial Stadium on May 14 and 15.
Coach Frank Sevigne made the announcement of Haylett's selection on behalf of the Big Eight Conference track coaches.
Now retired, Haylett coached his favorite sport for 47 years, spending 35 of these as Kansas State track coach. He began coaching K-State squads in 1928 when he was appointed the school's first full time track coach.
Following the billiards tournament, Miss Hember will travel to Portland, Ore., April 10, for the Inter Collegiate Bowling Finals. Her average in bowling is 180 and she is the only competitor who has been at the national finals four years in a row.
Ward was assistant coach of the U.S. Olympic team in 1948; he has been a member of the U.S. Olympic Track and Field committee three times; he has made numerous trips abroad with troupes of U.S. track stars, the latest a January, 1962, trip to New Zealand; and in 1957 he was named to the Helms Hall of Fame for his contributions to track.
