competing teams in wrestling and gymnastics. The fencing team and the recently organized rugby and cricket teams operate independently of the Athletic Department.
THE EXCELLENCE OF KU'S all-sports program is attested to by its record since 1950 when Lonborg took over as Athletic Director.
In 1956-57 and again in 1959-60, KU won the Big Eight conference all-sports championship. Seven years KU has finished second in the competition.
As is the rule nearly everywhere, KU's fine athletic teams draw large crowds. Last fall, more than 160,000 fans attended the five home football games. A traditionally strong basketball team had an off-year, but still drew 75,000 fans to ten home games. These figures added to the average of 10,000 at the KU Relays, bring the attendance figure to approximately 250,000 for three sports.
FOOTBALL PROVIDED nearly $460,000 of the $554,604 gross income from KU athletics. Basketball took in more than $95,000 and after all expenses for all sports were deducted $61,267 remained as net income.
Athletics at the University of Kansas is a large-scale operation. The facilities are elaborate and the tradition of winning is established. Tomorrow the arguments for and against big time athletics at KU will be presented.
