To the surprise of almost everyone, inexperience of University and KK baseball team has roared off to one of its strongest starts in the season.
But, as far as coach Floyd Temple is concerned, you can toss that record on the window.
KU Baseball Statistics
Composed primarily of junior college transfers, sophomores and freshmen, the Jayhawks have used solid fielding, timely hitting and great pitching to against non-conference opponents.
"It doesn't mean a thing," he said. "It means you can big like league exhibition games. You find out some things and you decide what kind of people you've made."

"We figured we have a good team and a good non-conference record, although no one ever lost to us. We get rough in conference play. It's going to be tough scoring man and tough keeping others off the floor."
TEMPLE'S PRIMARY concern now is defending champion Iowa State. KU will host the game this weekend, beginning with a 1:30 p.m. doubleheader Friday at Iowa State. Game start will happen at 6 a.m. Saturday start will be at 7 a.m.
★★★
Iowa State, despite its 2-6 run, is ranked seventh in the nation by the Collegiate Baseball newspaper. The Cyclones are on the road to victory against executive Big Eight baseball title and have 15 returning lettermen.

Although they boost depth in nearly every department, the team won six pitching, Canadian fletcher Don Powers led the staff last season with a 4-arm mark and a 2.38 BAM record. The BAA Villeran Bill was RRed 1 and 3.00.
Also available is all-Big Eight catcher Larry Corrigan who can pitch if necessary. As a result of his record with seven victories,
CORRIGAN WAS also the Corsair last season with a 328 average. Elsewhere, the Iowa State attack is not quite so potent. Outfielder Rafe Rodriguez had 388 and Tadleman, who batted .388 the year before, tailled off to 250 last week.
Defensively, the Cyclones look best in the outfield and behind the plate Harry Dietrich Zuk and Adam Rodgers. A third-corner, Corrigan, probably Iowa State's most versatile player, is generally considered the league's top scorer.
To stop the Cyclones, Temple will count heavily on a Jayhawk pitching staff that has surrevenred only eight earned runs in 52
innings for an average of 1.26 per game.
Bob Wolf, who has pitched one-hitters his last two times and doubleheader. In the nightcap, the Jawahlers have with Bob Cox, who has not matched two hits that he tossed a no-hitter against College of Emporia Monday, will face Kentucky in KU. He also has two shutouts.
"TIM QUITE confident in our pitching staff," Temple said. "We're not going to shut out people like we have, but these they're going to tolerant control and they're going to help them earn their wash on base."
He cited the improved defense as one reason for his staff's effectiveness.
"Fielding isn't errors," he said. "It's the ability to cover ground. This year, especially at Caltech, we're in Glass. We've got the guys who
can do it. Those pitchers can make the batter hit the ball at someone and not be afraid of what will happen."
Offensively, the Jayhawks, with an emphasis on speed, have been surprisingly active in eight games. They rapped out 73 hits for a .330 average, though lacked in pitching to suit it with 16 stolen bases. Eight of those were by freshman left, who, with 18 hitts, was batting .500.
"OHM DOENN'S know all there is to know yet," said Temple. "but he's learning He's learning to bunt and he's getting on base and putting pressure on him to be an excipler player."
Others who have swag big bats for the Jayhawks this season are pitcher first baseman Wolf Mills (435) and shortstop Heier (318). Wolf, who has the team's lone pitcher, is in the squad with eight batted in.
"These boys have gained confidence from these non-conference wins." Temple said. "They've been coached club and a sound club."
"But there's no telling what's 'til you get out there. Baseball's a funny game. There are nocinches."
Hockey Team Has Title Shot
BUCHAREST, Hungary (AP) — The U. S. hockey team, the 1972 Olympic Games silver medalist, retained a share of the gold with the last-minute #6-5 victory over East Germany Thursday. The victory was the third for the team and keeps the American team in Poland. The Poles, however, have a better goal average.
