Swim title a three way struggle
The 1967 Big Eight Swimming and Diving Championships this weekend at Columbia will feature a competitive three-way team struggle.
"The top three teams should be Oklahoma, Iowa State and Kansas," swim coach Dick Reamon said.
"IOWA STATE has big victories over KU (70-34) and Oklahoma (72-31) but Oklahoma has the tradition of kingpins of Big Eight swimming plus six seniors on its squad." Reamon explained.
"We (KU) have as many of the top individuals, plus quite a few second men that can break into the scoring," the former KU All-American said.
Pacing the Jayhawks as KU chases after its first conference title wil be distancemen Don Penington and Tom Van Slyke.
KU 4th in UPI list
NEW YORK — (UPI)— The United Press International major college basketball ratings:
1. UCLA 34 (23-0) ... 349
2. Louisville 1 (23-3) ... 277
3. North Carolina (20-3) ... 254
4. KANSAS (19-3) ... **212**
5. Princeton (22-2) ... 185
6. Houston (21-3) ... 137
7. Western Ky. (21-2) ... 112
8. Tennessee (18-4) ... 140
9. Texas Western (19-5) ... 88
10. Boston College (17-2) ... 54
Last year, however, Pennington handled the situation adequately as he set meet records in both plus the 500.
Pennington could meet some scheduling difficulty immediately before the 1650. The 400-yard individual medley is only two events before.
Pennington copped last year's 500 with a 6.1 second margin but ranks only fourth on 1967's list behind three Oklahomaans.
Tomorrow: the breast, back and butterfly strokes.

Last year's top four return this weekend and will cause Van Slyke to hustle to score some points.
"One thing about Pennington," assistant coach Joe Henderson said, "is that he goes out fast. But the difference between him and the other is that he keeps going."

Pennington, voted All-American last year, returns to retain his individual titles from 1966: 500 freestyle, 400 individual medley and 1650 freestyle.
They are co-captains and the Hawk's long seniors.
HE AND VAN SLYKE will team up in the two longer events and KU will need top performances from both, Reamon said.
PITTSBURGH—(UPI)—Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates tied a World Series record by hitting safely in all seven games of the 1960 classic with the New York Yankees.
The times have improved so
markedly that his 5:17.5 for fifth place in 1966 is over 10 seconds slower than the present number five time.
In the 1650, Van Slyke again needs to hand on to duplicate his fourth place of 1966.
BUT IF PENNINGTON goes out fast, and pulls the non-Jay-hawks with him, Van Slyke could sneak in if one of them fades.
And that's how the longest of the day's events—the 1650 or mile—seems . . . they just keep going. Last year Pennington kept going until he was victorious by an minute and a quarter.
