Runners agree:

SOMEWHERE IN NORTHEAST KANSAS-Tommy McCall thought he'd never see the University of Kansas campus again.
Timmons and women's coach Tom Lienvale dropped off five teams of runners at different points, all about 26 miles in country miles northeast of Lawrence.
He was participating Saturday, along with 14 other members of the KU track team and two members of the KU women's cross country team, in track coach Bob Timmons' brainchild—a crow-flight marathon of more than 26 miles.
The only thing the runners knew was the direction they were from Lawrence.
the direction they were from Lawrence. McCall, who had never run more than eight miles at one time, was more afraid of getting lost in the woods that he was of
After covering more than 20 miles of the hill and rough terrain in this part of the state, McCall, a middle distance rider, still wasn't sure he was going to make it.
"We climbed a radio tower to see if we
could find Lawrence, "McCall said. "We final spotteed water towers; so we had to close them."
McCall, a sophomore, had held doubts about the run since Timmons approached him with the idea the previous week. None of the other runners expressed a fear of never seeing Mt. Oread, but they did wonder when it would be.
The team of George Mason, Joel Cambron and Bruce Coldsmith won the marathon, covering the approximately 31 miles they ran in 4 hours, 17 minutes.
The teams ran, walked, climbed and crawled their way to Lawrence. They all made it, with the last group coming in 9 hours and 25 minutes after they started.
The distance is approximate because we don't know where they ran down the hill, journey by journey.
The last group, that is, unless you count Timmons and Liovale. They walked the whole route and finished in a little more than 13 hours.
"I'd been thinking about going all week," Timmons said. "I wasn't going to but when we got out there we finally decided to go ahead and do it. I'm sore."
The only casualty in Timmons' second marathon—the first was in 1973—was McCall. He twisted his foot, although the ball went within shouting distance of the finish line.
The only person to run in both of the crow-flight marathons—crow-flight because the distance from the starting points to Lawrence was the regulation marathon distance of 26 miles, 383 yards as a crow flys, but not as a man runs—was George Mason. He considered this a better race.
Mason said the easiest way to run the race was to follow the power lines that were on contour maps—except that they did not have enough light to add one. They waited in the rain.
"We got to look at the maps before we started," Mason said. "Last time we didn't and only about one-third of the people finished."
"That tucked everybody up," Mason said. "I didn't remember it cutting across the way it did until we got to the room, when we figured out what bad happened."
Timmons said there was more of a challenge in this kind of race than in an
ordinary marathon. That was one of the reasons he began it.
"If the cross country team had qualified for the nationals we probably wouldn't have run it," Timmons said. "But the team was a bit down."
"We didn't want people to run if they were hurt or sick. Also, if people got hurt during the run we wanted them to quit," Timungs said.
The two women in the race, Michelle Brown and Sarah Frame, left for Thanksgiving vacation following the race and were unavailable for comment.
Tim Tobin, a member of the men's track team who ran in their group, said they run a good race.
"They ran just as well as everybody else," John said. "Except for a couple of wrong turns we made that cost us quite a lot." We would have we would have finished a lot sooner."
Timmons, who took a lot of good-natured ribbing because of his performance, said he wouldn't try the exercise again without better preparation himself.
The team, responding with a refrain they have heard many times, told him, "But it's 90 per cent mental, coach."
Jayhawks set for season opener
Holman said recently that he hadn't been wrestling easily lately to stay in shape, but he went home Friday to train more intensively.
"Dd normally be arm wrestling every other day," he said, "but my major-civil law degree."
In past season openers under coach Ted Owens, the Jayhawks have been successful in winning 11 and losing just one. The only defeat in the season was underbelder defeated KU 72-64, in Lawrence.
KU, which struggled to a 13-13 record last year, will face a Montana State team that had problems of its own last season. They were 5-7 in the Big Sky Conference, and
If history is a predictor of the future then the University of Kansas basketball team should win its opening game when it takes on the No. 75 Saturday night in Allen Field House.
"I'll be wrestling in pool halls and bars in Houston every night next week, and I'll be running three mules a night to get down to 160."

At forward, Owens will start Ken
ternero with emphasis placed on the man-
for-man press.
"I think that both Paul and Donnie can do the job," Owens said. "I'm hopeful we'll have another situation like we had a few years ago with Rick Suttle and Danny Knight when we could play both an equal time without losing effectiveness."
Owens said that KU wouldn't have a set lineup this season.
"I don't like to think of five particular people as our starters," he said. "I believe this club will have seven or eight who may start at any time."
Owens appears optimistic.
"I think everyone is ready to play," said. We've practiced for six weeks now and are ready to play again.
Owens said that KU would begin preparation for Montana State this af-
He is confident, though, that his lack of training won't hurt him.
