Conference meet Thursday
KU tankers favorites for swim crown
By GALEN BLAND Kansan sports writer
The talented Jayhawk swimming squad will be after its third consecutive Big Eight crown when the league meet opens at Iowa State Thursday.
"We've put in six months of hard work and we are favored in this meet," Kansas coach Dick Reamon said. "I hope we can prove in the meet that we're the best in the conference."
Bob Wright, Kansas City sophomore, leads the KU delegation which returns 405 of their 512 points in last year's meet. Wright won three individual titles in record time and swam a leg on a winning relay team in the 1969 meet. He was named the Big Eight's outstanding performer for last year.
Wright set records last year in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:00.8), 200-yard breaststroke (2:14.3) and the 200-yard individual medley (2:00.6) and swam the third leg on the record-setting 800-yard freestyle relay team (7:08.3).
Kim Bolton, Overland Park junior, and Tom Ellis, Leawood senior, who teamed with Wright
in the 800 return to defend their title. Three-fourths of the league champion 400-yard freestyle relay team return to the meet this year for the Hawks. These three are Bolton, Bob Hines, Overland Park senior, and Bo Darrah.

50-yard freestyle record (21.4). Both have recorded 21.9 this year, best in the Big Eight. Bolton has the conference's top mark in the 100-yard freestyle (47.8) and the 200-yard freestyle (1:48.2).
Kansas has the momentum of five straight dual victories The Jayhawks finished with a 6-3 dual record. The three losses came in an early Texas trip. They have beaten five Big Eight schools in dual competition and have won
"We weren't as good a dual team this year because we didn't have the big stoppers like Jim Kent and Roy O'Connor," Reamon said. "But we should be a better conference meet team because we have better depth."
"Several have missed qualifying for the nationals by just 10th of a second. This is clearly one of our objectives at Ames." Reamon said.
The Hawks will be the favorites in the meet. They should find their closest competition in Oklahoma who was second last year and second in the Big Eight relays this year, both times to Kansas.
the big Eight Relays at Ames for the third straight year.
Besides defending their championship, the Hawks also hope to qualify some other athletes for the nationals. Only two individuals, Hines and Bolton, have qualified for the NCAA meet. The only relay team to qualify is the 400-yard freestyle squad of Hines, Roland Sabates, Darrah, and Bolton.

Utah and Duquesne, two former NIT champions, and fourtime semifinalist Army were among six schools added to the field Monday for the 33rd annual post-season competition March 13-21 at Madison Square Garden.
The first teams named were Louisiana State, which boasts the greatest major college scorer of all time in Pete Maravich, St. John's of New York, Georgia Tech and Marquette, which spurned a NCAA bid.
KU's entries for Big 8 meet:
Manhattan, Georgetown D.C. and Miami of Ohio also accepted bids Monday to raise the number of teams already named to 10 for the 16-team tournament.

Which One is the Paulist?
It's easy to tell a Paulist. Just talk with him.
The first thing you notice is that he's contemporary. He lives today, but plans tomorrow with the experience and knowledge of yesterday. That's a Paulist characteristic: the ability to move with the times and to meet the challenges of each era.
A Paulist is also the mediator of his age; he tries to bring together the extremes in today's world and the Church, the liberals and the moderates, the eternal and the temporal.
Next, he is very much an individual. It sets him apart immediately. He has his own particular talents and abilities — and he is given freedom to use them. If you are interested in finding out more about the Paulist difference in the priesthood, ask for our brochure and a copy of our recent Renewal Chapter Guidelines.
