The powerful KU swimming squad used depth and the winning combination of Bolton and Hines to splash almost 200 points ahead of runnerup Oklahoma in the Big Eight swimming championships last weekend in Ames.
Kansas amassed 563 points in the three day meet to win their third straight conference title. This is only the third title for the Hawks since 1929.
KU took the lead from the start of the meet when Tom Ellis won the first event, the 500-yard freestyle. Teammate Bruce Bove was third.

On Friday Bolton added the 200-yard freestyle to his collection and Tom Ellis was right behind for another Jayhawk 1-2 finish. This was the only first for KU on the second day of competition.
The icing on the cake came when Bolton splashed to his third title by winning the 100-yard freestyle to complete his domination of the freestyle events. Hines of KU again was second to Bolton.
Besides Ellis seconds were won by freshman Mike Tackett in the 200-yard butterfly and Steve Trombold in the 100-yard backstroke. Bob Wright failed to defend his title in the 100-yard breaststroke. He came in third, one second off first and two and a half behind his record time last year.
The 'Hawks' 400-yard freestyle relay team of Hines, Sabates, Ellis and Bolton won their event to push the KU squad further ahead.
On Saturday, Scott Skultety of KU lowered the 200-yard back-stroke mark to 2:00.0 in the preliminaries but was upset in the finals. Skultety placed third behind winner Steve Trombold of KU and Dave Howell of Oklahoma.
Next week members of the Kansas squad will compete in the National championships.
