Record Set at Big 8 Swim Meet
A new conference swimming record was established during the preliminaries of the Big Eight Swimming Championships at Lincoln, Neb. yesterday.
Oklahoma's John Bernard broke former KU All America Eldon Ward's record in the 50-yard free style preliminaries. Bernard's time was 22.6. Ward's record was 22.7.
The meet will continue today and tomorrow with the finals in each event.
THEREE PRELIMINARIES were held yesterday afternoon as defending champion Oklahoma qualified seven men. KU, Iowa State and Colorado qualified three, Nebraska two, and Kansas State, none. Missouri and Oklahoma State do not field swimming teams.
Qualifying from KU were Mike Calwell, 500-yard freestyle. Lester Jeter, 400-yard individual medley, and Bill Mills, 500-yard freestyle.
Oklahoma, perennial powerhouse Iowa State, and a surprise newcomer, Nepraska, are the three slated to battle for the title.
The Sooners and Cyclones have dominated previous conference meets which started in 1929 with Iowa State as the first team champion. Oklahoma has won 11 crowns, all since 1950, and has a run of eight straight. Iowa State last won
Big Eight Title GameTomorrow
Manhattan, Kan. — Somehow you get the feeling the Big Eight schedule makers took a peek into the twilight zone to pick the climatic game of the conference season.
For at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in Ahearn Fieldhouse a pulsating race will close when Colorado comes to town to face the Kansas State Wildcats.
IF THE WILDCATS (11-2) win, they will take the big cup outright and gain a berth in the NCAA regionals in Lawrence. If the Buffaloes (10-3) win, they will gain a tie for the title and the right to the NCAA berth. The reason for this is the fact the Buffs would have attained a 2-game sweep over Kansas State. They won the first meeting, 70-53, January 14 in Boulder.
A playoff is held under Big Eight rules only if the co-champions split their two regular season games.
And as Tex Winter, Wildcat coach,
put it, "If they beat us on our home
floor, then they should represent
our conference."
JUST AS Kansas State has had trouble winning in Boulder so has Colorado in Manhattan. In fact, the Buffs have not won here against the Cats in eight years. In the last game of the regular season last year, after Colorado had sewed up the title, the Cats came out on top, 60-48. K-State has won 34 straight games against conference foes at home.
Coach Winter pointed out, "We have a cinch tie. That means Colorado will come into Manhattan more determined knowing they must win to have a share of the crown."
While the team title is the primary target, an individual duel for the scoring title will unwind when Ken Charlton of Colorado and Willie Murrell of K-State tangle. Charlton has 249 points, with Murrell just four back at 244. Both players have been hampered with knee injuries, but Murrell's condition has shown improvement.
With a sellout crowd of 12,500, five K-State seniors will be bowing out. They are Gary Marriott, Al Peithman, Jim Baxter, Jerry Johnson and Eddie Matsuzak.

The Cyclones have won 14 titles and tied for the top spot with Nebraska twice. Besides these two deadlocks, Nebraska has won three loop championships, the last in 1937. Oklahoma, Iowa State and Nebraska are the only conference members to ever win titles.
OKLAHOMA HAS overall team strength led by Charles Schuette. Schuette won three events a year ago, the 1500-meter, 220-yard and 440-yard free style.
Schuette is expected to compete in the 500-yard, the 200-yard and either the 100-yard or 1650-yard freestyle. He has established three school records in these events.
Iowa State will rely on Fritz
Jayhawkers Meet OSU in Cage Finale
Sophomore center George Unseld will go into KU's final 1963 basketball game at Oklahoma State tomorrow night pacing the Jayhawkers in scoring and rebounding on 24 game totals of 421 and 189, respectively. He is trailed in scoring by veteran guard Nolen Ellison at 384 and in the rebound department by junior forward Harry Gibson at 174. Ellison will be seeking to pad his newly-won career scoring record for Kansas backliners from 1034. He reached that figure with 12 points in the 72-68 win over Missouri Friday to shatter Jerry Gardner's one-year-old mark by four points.
Hagan, defending Big Eight champion in both the 1 and 3-meter diving events. Other Cyclone standouts are Rol Wellman and Art Paterson, free style; Bud McQuillen, individual medley; Bud Pierce, backstroker and Jim Ruggles, butterfly.
Nebraska is counting on depth, with a need for points in practically all events, if the Cornhuskers are to put over an upset victory, Coach Cal Bentz says. He feels the Cornhuskers have an outside chance.
Senior co-captain Vern Bauers of Otk is one of the top Nebraska threats. Bauers has beaten defending champion Bill Murdock of KU in the 200-yard breast. They have not met in the 100-yard breast, also won by Murdock a year ago.
Team strength of the top three is reflected in their meetings this season. Oklahoma beat Nebraska State. Iowa State would have lost
to Nebraska but for a disqualification.
Today's events include the 200-yard butterfly, the 200-yard backstroke, 200-yard breast, 200-yard freestyle and the 200-yard individual medley.
Saturday's morning and afternoon sessions will call for the 100-yard free, 100-yard back, 100-yard breast, 100-yard butterfly, the 1650-yard free and the 400-yard free relay.
The meet is scored on six places. Individual events are worth 7-5-4-3-2-1. Relay points are awarded on a basis of 14-10-8-6-4-2.
