Sportsmen pick NU top; KU sixth
By RICK FOLKMIRE
Area newsmen picked Nebraska by a slim margin over Colorado to win its fifth straight Big Eight Conference Football Championship this fall, while Kansas was rated sixth.
A total of 124 sports writers and sportscasters from the six states embracing the Big Eight picked Nebraska to finish no worse than fourth place as KU was picked to finish no better than second place.
IN ONE OF the closest votes in the poll's 22-year history, Nebraska captured 47 first-place votes, 52 second place votes, 19 third place votes and six fourth floor tallies for 232 points. Second-placed Colorado collared 14 more first places votes than the Cornhuskers, but the defending champions were rated third or better on all but the six fourth-place ballots and on the strength of this over-all support nosed out the Buffs by seven points.
Freshmen take track trophies
BY RICK FOLKMIRE
The Jayhawk Frosh swept all Big Eight track and field honors for the year by winning the Conference's freshman outdoor championship, Thursday.
Relying on deep scoring strength in two traditionally Jayhawk power events—the mile and the 440—Kansas outscored rival Kansas State, 132-5/6 to 99. Oklahoma State ranked third with 87-1/6, while Oklahoma was fourth at 84.
The Jayhawks scored 35 points in the mile and the 440, more points than the difference in the standings.
RANDY JULIAN and Julio Meade took first and third places respectively in the 440 for 16 points.
Nineteen points came from Roger Kathol's first place winning 4:10.9 in the mile.
Meade was a double winner in individual events, sweeping to a :09.6 in the 100 and a :21.0 in the 220. His third in the 440 and sixth in the 880 added to his points from the mile and 440 relays made him the meet's top scorer.
Swim pool is busy place
By LINDA BUMANN
"The swimming pool sessions are designed to provide a well rounded program to meet the needs of all people involved with the University," Dick Reamon, KU swim coach and pool director, said.
Students, faculty, staff, children and campers are scheduled to use the pool in New Robinson Gymnasium at different times of the day.
Weekday swimming begins at noon to 1 p.m. for the children of the staff and faculty members.In order to be allowed to swim, the children must be able to swim two lengths of the pool.
At 1:30 until 3:30 p.m., KU students may use the pool as recreation.
From 3:30-5 p.m. all campers may use the pool. The time is broken up into 45 minute periods to avoid overcrowding of the pool.
The faculty and staff may use the pool from 5-6 p.m. Then from 7-9, except on Wednesday nights, students may again use the pool. On Wednesday night, the hours from 7-9 are set aside for a family swim for faculty members and staff.
On the weekend, campers are not allowed to swim. From 1-6 p.m. on Saturday, students, faculty and staff members may swim.
Conducted by KU sports information director Jay Simon, the poll determined points by multiplying votes for each position by the number of that position.
The Buffs received 61 first place votes to Nebraska's 47, but were relegated to the second division by five forecasters and that was enough to swing the poll in the Husker's favor.
Nebraska wound up with 232 points to 239 for Colorado. Trailing the leaders were Oklahoma with 439 votes, Missouri with 483, Oklahoma State with 582, the Jayhawkers with 731, Iowa State with 861 and Kansas State with 897.
The poll was originated in 1946 by the late Don Pierce, former KU sports publicist.
Strictly phys ed schools
By JERRY KOKESH
Shenk tours Europe
"They are strictly physical education schools," Henry Shenk, professor of physical education, said, when questioned about whether or not foreign physical education departments offer any courses other than physical education.
Shenk returned recently from a tour of European and Asian college physical education departments.
On this tour Shenk found many similarities and differences between the U.S. and foreign nations. He found some instructors teaching the same fundamentals, including volleyball, rhythm and gymnastics. Some countries were also beginning to dabble in basketball.
Basic differences appeared however, in competitive athletics. In Europe there is no intercollegiate system. All competition that would be handled by the NCAA in the U.S. is run by clubs. These clubs compete with other clubs all over Europe in track and field, soccer, basketball, and numerous other sports.
In Asia and the Middle East Shenk observed "sports cities" large sports complexes built by the government. The more unique "cities" such as the one in Bangkok, Thailand included a circular indoor field house with basketball and badminton courts, soccer stadium, swimming pools, 1/4-mile bicycle track, and a pistol range.

One thing that Shenk found below par were the showers, lockers, and dressing rooms.
The tour included Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India, Egypt, Switzerland, England, and France.
