Intramural basketball fans should now be familiar with the name Cahill.
Ed (Sandy), Pat (Shorty), and John—all brothers—this year formed three-fifths of the starting Phi Kappa. Theta “A” team.
The Cahils and all-staters Al Hardy and Ed Williams led Kiappa Theta to an undefeated first place in its division this year.
All three Cahills averaged in the double figures this season. Shorty, a sophomore, connected for 36 points in the final league game against Sigma Nu.
Sandy, a senior, and John, a sophomore, both had their high game in the season opener against Kappa Alpha Psi. Sandy hit for 23 points, and John for 19.
The Cahill name is also well known in Kansas City, especially in the Ward High School area where all three were star athletes.
Sandy was named to the all-city and all-area teams in baseball, basketball and football.
In addition, he was an all-state selection as halfback in football, and was named basketball all-American along with Ernie Moore, now playing at Wichita University,
Cechil played freshman basketball football, his remaining years. arssity football, his remaining years.
Sandy has been plagued with ankle injuries, breaking his right ankle in high school and as a freshman in college. He broke it again this year in the final league game last week, and missed the hill playoffs.
Distance Run Can't Scare KU's Hadley
The grueling two and three-mile track events don't frighten Herald Hadley. Neither do various combinations such as the mile-1000.
Hadley. Shallow Water junior and reigning Big Eight Indoor two-mile champion, has been running almost since he can remember. As a fifth grader, he delivered newspapers in, what was then his home town, Cold-water, and jogged his daily $ 2_{1/2} $ mile route.
When his family moved to Shallow Water, Hadley daily ran the 2% mile route from home to school during the 6th-7th-8th and 9th grades.
Last Thanksgiving day, Hadley galloped the $27\frac{1}{2}$ miles from the family ranch to Garden City "to see if I could do it."
PERHAPS HADLEY'S biggest trial as a young runner came when he began to run competition on a 330-yard homemade dirt track which circled his school playground. Scraped off occasionally by a road grader, the track was packed hard as cement in some places, ankle deep in dust in others. It was scarred with depressions and bumps and angled uphill into one turn. It was four feet wide.
Hadley ran the mile in his first meet, a junior high meet at Garden City. "I was going for the record of 5:12, he smiled. I ran 4:59 and got beat by a boy from Leoti who ran 4:58—then quit running the next year.
Hadley will run a combination mile-1000 in the Big Eight championship meet this weekend in Kansas City.
Freshman Cagers Stopped by K-State
In a contest which was characterized by cold shooting, the Kansas State freshman basketball team last night edged the Jayhawk freshmen 40-38.
The Jayhawks hit 28 per cent of their shots, from the field. K-State hit only 24 per cent, but made up for the deficit from the free throw line. The Wildcats wound up with 16-21 in the free throw department, while KU hit only 6-15.
Ron Franz had the high individual score for the Jayhawks with 12. His was not, however, the high total for the game as K-State's Nick Pino fired in 17.
The KU freshmen, who beat the 'Cats earlier this season, are now 3-2. The Wildkittens ended their season 3-4.
Shorty was an all-city and all-area halfback, and an all-state forward in basketball. He was also the state 880 yard champion his senior year at Ward.
to KU, but quit after his freshman year.
John started for the KU freshmen against the varsity this year, but later quit the team to play intramural ball.
Unfortunately for KU intramurals there are no more Cahill brothers coming up the ranks. But Sandy was just married this summer—maybe he will start another string.
He received a track scholarship
With the conference meet only one week away, Jim Basile, Topeka sophomore and a key man on the KU squad, is out of action with a pulled muscle in his upper right leg. Basile injured the leg last week and was unable to participate in Saturday's meet with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Jayhawk Swimmers Hampered By Injuries
KU swimming coach Dick Reamon said last night that an injury may lessen the Jayhawk's chances of winning the Big Eight championship.
"MY BIG WORRY right now," Coach Reamon said, "is whether or not Basile will be ready for action by the time the big meet gets here. We're giving him treatments, but he doesn't seem to be responding to them satisfactorily. It is very important that we get him back in action for the championship meet.
"We had to do without him against Nebraska last week. We lost a number of points with him out." Reamon said.
Basile swims the 200-yard breast stroke and also swims the breast stroke in the medley relay.
"I THINK we'll go to Norman Monday," Coach Reamon said. "By going down early, we can get our divers used to the boards they will be using in competition. The rest of the boys will get a chance to get used to the pool, too."
Coach Reamon still appeared confident that his team had a good chance to bring home the conference championship. He said all the members of the KU team would have to be at their best if they want the big win.
The Jayhawks have the only undefeated team in the history of swimming at KU.
Coach Reamon said he planned to take his team to Norman, Okla. —the site of the Big Eight meet—about two days early.
