"Right now, it looks like he's got the edge on the shortstop job." Temple said "He's got some experience and he a good skill to perform that minute and we're pleased with his performance in practice."
In high school he was twice named to all-conference baseball team as a senior was voted his team's most valuable player. After high school, Heek was chosen in the major league baseball division by the Atlanta Braves.

Heck has not played baseball since his freshman year at El Camino High School in California, but the KU senior's experience in the sport dates back to 1930.
"IT WAS A big surprise to me that I was drafted," he said. "I'd gotten some mail from five or six major league teams but nothing that sounded serious. I didn't get a call and graduation, and everyone kept congratulating me. I didn't know what for the coach told me."
Unsatisfied with the Braves' contract offer, Heek decided to continue his education. Atlanta's year ago him expired a year later.
After batting .317 in his first year at EI Camino, he shifted his concentration to football. It was the same kind of mind that he transferred to KU.
"It was just football," Heck said. "I wanted to play in a major competition. And I wanted to get away from home and to a small,
Heck said that in junior college he soured on baseball.
"I DON'T LIKE to play baseball when it isn't fun," he said. "People ruined it for me. I got tired of it. Well, I didn't get tired—people made me tired of it. It could be different here."
Heck has played every baseball position except second base and right field, but he said he preferred shortstop.
"I've been playing shortstop ever since I was six," he said, pointing at the way he acted on action there. You have to know what the pitcher's throwing, who up and where to play him. "He was mostly a matter of basics."
"All you have to do is stay on the ball and look it into your eyes, but a little deeper than others because it is much stronger. I can afford it."

"It's a lot easier to get your itching back on the fast heaps," she said. "I throw one past me now. But I can hit the curves, too. If I just sit

HECK SAID the 1972 Jayhawks, despite their inexperience, could surprise some people.
"We don't have any home run hitters," he said, "but we have guys on the team who can drive them in from second and third.
"And we've got speed. I think that can make up for power. We'll be able to steal runs, get runs we
shouldn't get.
"I think if we can get enough experience in the non-conference games, we could be a real scrappy, fighting team."

"WE HAD ONLY two choices— either sell the team or move it," Axelson said.
Axelson, who said San Diego has been among the other leading contenders for the title of "City a" great basketball city.
Because attendance at Cincinnati had averaged about 3,500 fans per game, Axelson indicated team officials anticipated no difficulty in the BAA transfer. The plan will require approval by 13 of the 17 members of the board of governors.
One of Kansas City's primary points is that the manager, who was the successor of the National Football League's Chiefs in selling season tickets in
