KU takes swim lead
By Robert Burdick Kansan Staff Reporter
KU swimmers captured three firsts and one second to gain a 17 point lead in the first round of the Big Eight conference championships last night in Robinson Gymnastium.
Three Big Eight records were broken in the meet which saw KU pull ahead of defending champion Iowa State 43-26, in a decidedly different first round than last year's, when ISU led by five, 39-34.
The meet began with the 500-yard freestyle for which former KU ace Don Pennington held the conference record of 4:53.4. Doug Hellerson of OU, who placed first in the preliminaries ahead of Frank Augenstein of ISU and KU's Tom Ellis, ran off from the field in clocking a 4:48.6 to break the conference record. Kent finished second with a 4:57.4, bettering his old pool record by 6.7 seconds.
In the 202-yard individual medley, ISU's Jims Cotsworth came back and won again this year with a time of 2:02.7, three seconds off his conference record of 2:02.4 set last year at MU. OSU's George Phillips also had a 2:02.4 but finished second by a judge's decision. In third place was OU's
Charles Schober (2:03.6) followed by KU's Bo Darrah (2:03.2).
KU's biggest lift came in the 50-yard freestyle, where Bob Hines won in 21.4, breaking the conference record of 21.5 held by John Westensee of ISU. Hines had tied the record in the preliminaries and went on to defeat Westensee, who finished second by judges decision over KU's Roy O'Connor. Both swimmers had times of 21.6.
In one-meter diving, defending champion Jim Askins of KU repeated last year's performance, finishing first with 476.55 points, nearly 16 points better than NU's Steve Sorenson, who was second with 460.75. Two other KU divers, Tom Pettit and Bob Wilson placed fifth and sixth respectively with point totals of 441.35 and 425.50 and added three points to KU's total of 10 in diving competition.
The meet's most exciting event was the 800-yard freestyle relay, for which OU had the conference record of 7:18.5. KU first broke the record in the preliminaries with a time of 7:16.3 and then came back in the finals to break it again with a time of 7:12.2. ISU was second with a 7:14.3 clocking followed by OU, 7:17.4.

Namath to undergo knee surgery
NEW YORK — (UPI)— One of Joe Namath's celebrated wobbly knees will be operated on later this month.
The New York Jets announced that Namath will undergo minor surgery on his left or "good" knee. The operation will take place on March 20 and he is expected to remain in the hospital for five to seven days and then wear a cast for several weeks.
The left knee is referred to as his "good" one since he has already undergone two operations
At the end of last season, Namath's left knee was put into a cast for four weeks in an attempt to correct the problem without surgery.
After Namath's second operation on his right knee last winter, he had more mobility than he had the previous two seasons and broke an all-time pro record by throwing for 4,007 yards.
on his right knee. The left knee has been strained since Namath began favoring the injured right knee.
and held it for two legs of the race until Bob Hines and Roy O'Connor again took over for KU with spectacular back to back performances that put their team ahead to stay.
KU swim coach Dick Reamon was pleased with his team's early showing but didn't discount the 13 events in the meet yet to come.
"We got off to a real nice start," he said. "We're going much better than I planned."
The lead should give KU some momentum in the two tough days to come, Reamon said.
"After finishing second two years in a row it's good to see the benefit of hard work," he said.
Reamon singled out team co-captain Jim Coughenour for special praise.
"Jim really provides a spark for the team and helps them to get up," Reamon said.
Of defending conference champion ISU, Reamon said, "It was really good to meet them head on early. They're going to be tough all the way."
The finals continue at 8 p.m. tonight and Saturday and Reamon hopes to have capacity crowds for both meets.
