Jayhawk swim team goes to Dartmouth
The recently-crowned Big Eight swim kings from Kansas take their biggest squad ever to the NCAA championships this weekend at Dartmouth University, Hanover, N.H.
Coach Dick Reamon, who completed his most successful season at the KU helm since taking over in 1963, will enter six Jayhawks in seven events. Reamon's squad posted a 9-2 dual meet mark and handily won the conference relays and championship meet titles.
"If we can improve, everyone should score." Reamon said.
The only time KU has scored in the national meet was in 1966 when Don Pennington placed 10th in the 500-yard freestyle.
"The kids have a lot of pride,"
Reamon pinpointed KU's scoring potential at 30 points, but emphasized that each boy must swim at least his best.
Reamon said. "They want to represent the school and the conference well. They don't want to go that far just to spectate."
The most active of Kansas' entrants will be freestyle-sprinter Roy O'Connor, who is qualified in the five freestyle events: 50-yard, 100-yard, 200-yard, 400-yard relay and 880-yard relay.
"Last year All-American titles were awarded in the 400 free relay for a 3:11.7," Reamon said. "KU's winning time at the Big Eight was 3:10.5 and we're seeded in about fifth place."
O'Connor, conference champ in the 100 free, will be joined by sophomore Bob Hines in both relays plus the 50 and 100 freestyles.
Hines set the Big Eight record when he won the conference 50 free in 21.4 two weeks ago. Reamon thinks Hines has a chance of making the championship finals.
"Bob's success will depend on his start—he can out swim anyone once he gets in the water," Reamon said.
In all events, six swimmers with the fastest times qualify for the championship final. The six next-quickest swim in the consolation final. All 12 places score on a 12-11-10-9... etc. basis.
Joining Hines and O'Connor on the relay quartets will be Tom
Ellis and Bo Darrah who helped the Jayhawks establish a conference mark of 7:12.2 in the 800-yard race at the Big Eight two weeks ago.
KU's other entrants are senior Jim Askins in the one- and three-meter diving and Bill Griffith who will swim the 200-yard breaststroke. Griffith set a school record of 2:17.8 in the conference meet when he placed second.
'Machine' on all-star squad
Bohmenstiehl, who scored 1,006 points in his three years as a Jayhawk, will play for the South team coached by Jack Hartman of Southern Illinois and Foster, an outstanding playmaker, will go for the North squad coached by Ralph Miller of Iowa.
WICHITA —(UPI)— Rodger Bohnenstiehl of Kansas and Dean Foster of Cincinnati Wednesday were named to separate squads in the annual National North-South College All-Star basketball game April 13.
The three-day meet got underway Thursday with qualifying heats in several events. The finals will be Saturday.
