Coach, new facilities attract Hines to KU
By Don Westerhaus Kansan Staff Reporter
Bob Hines, Mt. Prospect, Ill., sophomore, may be a prominent figure in the University of Kansas' bid for the Big Eight Conference swimming championship next week.
Hines swims the 50 and 100 yard freestyle, and is a member of the 400 yard freestyle and medley teams. He said he is ranked third or fourth in the nation as a short distance swimmer.
The KU tankman first started competitive swimming at a country club in Overland Park while in junior high school. As a student at Shawnee Mission West High School, Hines swam only two hours per week.
Hines was attracted to Lawrence by swimming coach Dick Reamon and KU's swimming facilities.
"I was encouraged by the new pool, the team spirit and the way the team was growing in stature," he said.
Hines thinks KU's toughest Big Eight competition will come from Iowa State.
"We were second to Iowa State last year and lost a meet to them earlier this year, but we think by the way we've been swimming lately, we can beat them this time," he said. "None of us swam well when they beat us earlier. We were flat that day."
The sophomore swimmer believes the difference in the KU team this year is its depth.
"We have several guys in each event who do well nationally. We are hoping the Big Eight Conference will adopt the rule to let freshmen compete in spring sports. The freshmen have been practicing with us and are scheduled to compete in the championships if the rule is passed," he said. With the freshmen, we should surely be able to win the conference meet."
After the conference meet is over, Hines is looking forward to the nationals.
K-State leads
Kansas State took over sole possession of first place in the Big Eight last night, beating Missouri 70-63 while KU lost to Nebraska. Steve Honeycutt led K-State with 27 points.
K-State now has an 8-3 record. Iowa State, which plays Colorado tonight, is second, with a 7-3 record, followed closely by Nebraska, 8-4 and KU, 7-4.

Mini-skirt helps Olney, England win pancake race
LIBERAL — (UPI)— The 19th running of the international Shrove Tuesday pancake race proved the mini-skirt, in addition to being decorative, is great for running.
A 16-year-old English lass in a mini-skirt won the flapjack competition between women of Olney, England, and Liberal Tuesday.
Freckled Mary Dix zig-zagged over the S-shaped course, flipping a pancake in a skillet, in 68 seconds, five seconds off the record but good enough for victory for the Olney ladies.
Miss Dix' time was four-tenths of a second better than that of Mrs. Janice Grant, a 30-year-old housewife, who won the Liberal leg of the pancake classic.
The victory made it 10-9 for the tiny town of Olney in the race over a 415-yard track.
Mrs. Grant, mother of three, wore the traditional apron and head scarf as the other Liberal entrants, who had banned the mini-skirt.
The Kansans appeared sure winners until 18-year-old Kathleen West, far in front with a terrific pace, stumbled, her flapjack and skillet flying into the crowd about 50 feet from the finish line.
"I'm so sorry for Kathleen," said Mrs, Grant. "When I saw her fall I knew it was up to me. I tried and I'm disappointed we didn't win."
