KU Swimming Coach Calls Team "Best"
Going into this weekend's meet with Washington University of St. Louis and Oklahoma State, KU swimming coach Dick Reamon said he is convinced this year's team is the best ever at KU.
The meet will be at 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday in Robinson Gymnasium.
"These boys," Reason said, "are really going somewhere." The KU swimmers have a 5-0 overall record for the season's competition with a 2-0 record in Big Eight meets.
Coach Reamon said the secret of the swimming team's success lies in its depth of ability.
"All the teams we face," Reasonn said, "have one or two boys in each division who are really good. We have boys, however, who are capable of winning not only first and second, but third and fourth places as well. In a swimming meet, one has to get these third and fourth-place victories in order to get enough points to win."
Coach Reamon said he believes
his team to definitely be in contention for the Big Eight Conference victory.
The University of Oklahoma, Reamon said, "is the conference's defending champion and they have a strong team. Nebraska also is strong. It should come down to a decision between Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas for the conference victory."
The team's most recent victories were January 27-28 over Texas A&M and Texas Tech.
When asked about the meet this weekend, Reamon said he thought the meet with Washington University of St. Louis would be "interesting."
"Washington of St. Louis," Reamon said, "had a 9-1 record last year and they beat a number of good teams. This year, Nebraska only beat them 53-42 so the meet with them should be interesting."
Coach Reamon said his team had lost no athletes this year due to eligibility requirements. He said it might be an important factor in the league race if other teams had lost swimmers because of grades.
Charlie Twiss and Tyce Smith each set a new Allen Field House record Saturday of 6-3/4 in the high jump as the KU track team scored 101 points to beat Pittsburg State and Wichita University.
High Jumpers Set New Mark
Twiss, North Kansas City, Mo. senior, and Smith, Cherryvale junior, broke the old mark of 6-7 1/2 held previously by Mark Brady of Oklahoma University and Ron Swanson of KU. It was the third highest indoor jump in Big Eight history.
The Jayhawks scored firsts in all events in the meet except the shot put and mile relay. Doug Schoenwetter of Wichita threw the shot $51-1\frac{1}{2}$ to win that event. Pittsburg State won the mile relay, when KU runners dropped the baton on the final handoff.
Bob Hanson of KU was the only double winner in the meet, winning the 60-yard dash in 6.3 seconds and the 60-yard low hurdles in 7 seconds.
THE EASTERN COLLEGIATE Conference, the largest collegiate athletic conference in the U.S., was organized in 1938. It has a current membership of 133 colleges.
Troubled Jayhawks Hit Mizzou Tonight
The KU basketball team is somewhat the worse for the wear of semester break as it goes into tonight's game with the University of Missouri Tigers.
The team, which was already faced with the problem of replacing Al Correll, whose elegibility had run out after the narrow loss to K-State at Manhattan Saturday night, suffered an additional shock yesterday when it was learned that three other players would be out of action for the remainder of the season due to ineligibility.
The players involved in the eligibility difficulty were Walt Wesley, center, and Wayne Loving and Kerry Bolton, guards.
Westy was high-point man in the K-State game, scoring 32 points. The Missouri team is only of average size, but has exceptional speed and maneuverability. Speed maneuverability have never been the Jayhawks' most notable traits although they have been playing a good team defense.
With the big change in the KU roster, Coach Dick Harp is faced with an almost complete change of line-up for the Missouri game.
Harp is expected to start Harry Gibson and Steve Renko at forwards; George Unseld at center, and Del Lewis and Dave Schichtle at guards.
Schichtle has been sidelined with a broken finger.
Track Meet Tickets On Sale in Field House
"The conference expressed its willingness to negotiate a new contract with the Orange Bowl committee," he added, "although recognizing some members of both groups have long felt a continuing tieup was no longer desirable or to the best interests of either group."
"Relations always have been pleasant and beneficial." Duke said.
Season tickets for Kansas' Indoor Track and Field schedule are now on sale at Allen Field House.
Bowl Break Taken Well By Big Eight
The $2.00 season ticket price represents a 50 per cent saving on the $1.00 per meet general admission price. Grade school, junior high and high school students will be admitted for 50 cents.

Big Eight Conference officials and football coaches today took in stride the decision of the Orange Bowl Committee to cancel its 11-year contract with the league.
In Kansas City, Big Eight Commissioner Wayne Duke stressed that the tie was not broken because of a disagreement or lack of mutual respect.
"There is no question that we will be in another bowl," said Gordon Chalmers, Athletic Director at Iowa State.
The Orange Bowl committee voted Monday to sever its tie with the Big Eight and go on the open market for both its New Year's Day football teams.
Coaches at both Big Eight schools in Kansas agreed with Chalmers.
"With the fine caliber of teams in the Big Eight conference, we won't have any trouble getting into a bowl," said Doug Weaver, coach at Kansas State University.
Jack Mitchell, head football coach at the University of Kansas, said the Big Eight champion had been offered a major bowl bid ever since he could remember.
"Personally, I thought it was a fine bowl game and I would have liked to have seen it continued for the Big Eight." Devaney said. "But I also can see some advantages to free lancing."
"I can't think of a year." Mitchell said, "that the Big Eight hasn't had an offer to play in a major bowl. And the conference champion has always been a team capable of playing in any bowl."
Harry Carlson, Athletic Director at the University of Colorado, also predicted Big Eight teams would be invited to other bowls.
He said the Orange Bowl committee decision "opens the door for Big Eight teams to the Cotton Bowl and the Gator Bowl." Carlson added it was entirely possible the conference champion would be invited back to the Orange Bowl.
Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, whose team defeated Auburn 13-7 in the 1964 Orange Bowl game, said he was sorry to hear the Orange Bowl Committee decision.
DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGEMENT IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTION
At the 1963 stockholders' meeting, Arjay R. Miller, President of Ford Motor Company, emphasized the Company's far-sighted recruitment program and its accent on developing management talent:
"Obviously, our long-run future will be determined by the development of our management. Here, every one of us-at all levels of supervision-recognizes this as his most important function. Since 1946, the Company has recruited widely varied talent-talent that can be blended to give us the required combination of tight administration and creative scope.
"Under a carefully conceived management development program, we try to recruit the best personnel available, both in training and experience. Once we get them, we have a program for giving them varied opportunities and increasing responsibility. This program is in force in all parts of the Company—in manufacturing, finance, styling, engineering and marketing."
"The program is paying off. We have developed a real depth of management talent in the Company, and we are dedicated to seeing it continued and reinforced. Because of this, I feel not only very fortunate in being associated with this management group, but also very confident of its long-run success. We know our goals and how to achieve them."
Those interested in a career with a future are invited to register at the Placement Office for an interview with Ford Motor Company representatives, who will be on campus soon.
