Basketball Outlook Bright

Marshall Rogers Puts up Jumper
... Freshman guard should help varsity
For University of Kansas students spied by last year's top-notch basketball team led by Dave Robisch and for those who were unaware, witness a winning season, the next three years hold great promise for NU basketball. That waited on the 1971-72 freshman sushi.
Marsall Rogers, Rick Suttle,
Darle Daleenie, Tommy Smith
and Mike Fiddelke will ascend
to the freshman season from the
freshman team.
The varsity Jayhawks will lose the heart of their进攻, Bud Swarthowr, and a key defensive player who has been starting lineup. Fred Bosovic, Neal Mask and Mark Mathies who will be graduated this spring.
"Every one of our seniors has made a positive contribution this year," Ku coach Ted Owens said. "We have a great consistency from all of them."
BUT THE OUTLOOK for next season is by no means bleak.
"One of the things we're going to pick up is height. We've missed rebounding this year. Rick Suttle went Knight will help," Owens said.
Knight is a talented 6-foot-10 freshman who was ineligible for freshman competition this season, however for the varsity, available.
Between Knight and Suttle, also 6-foot-10, KU board strength might begin to resemble that of the 1870-71 season when 6-foot-10 Robbisch and 6-foot-11 Roger Stegall began sweeping around Alen Fold House.
Suttle led the freshmen in rebounding and finished second
in scoring average. However, in only two games did Suttle encounter a center near own size.
"We wish he had the bigger man, but I think he has the capability to be an outstanding player some days," said Bob Wickman.
TOMMY SMITH, a 6-foot-4 forward who can jump with men several inches taller, will further fortify Jiahawk rebounding.
Dale Greeneer may also help to fill the shoes of Nash. Greeneer blitzed KU opposition on more deadly 12-5 foot jump shots.
In addition to the sophomores-to-be, the Jahayhaws may pick up more help from incoming freshmen and will only allow which allows freshmen to play for the varsity takes effect next season. KU can't sign any freshmen before April 1. Owens doesn't have any signings before April 19.
Top scorer for the freshmen was Rogers, a quick guard with an accurate shooting eye. Although Rogers may not be able to take leadership in a leadership of Aubrey Nash immediately, he promises to help
New Coach Awaits Golfers
With the coming of spring, the team will have a chance to compete March 24 in the first round at Alvaram Hall's golf course.
"Overall, we should be a better shooting and better rebounding team next year," Frederick said.
New faces on the University of Kansas golf team should bring big returns.
Because golf is a minor sport, the KU golf team doesn't get as much publicity as perhaps the golf team, but coaching change takes place.
Baker University will be the host school, Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia will also play in the triangular meet.
Bob Frederick, who became the freshman basketball coach last season, will also assume the
head coaching job for the golfers.
Last year's coach was Charles O'Neal, who took a position with the government.
"We have a chance to have a fine golf club this season," Frederick said recently. "We don't have to ask who should really help us."
The team hasn't even been set yet as tryouts will be March 13 and 14.
ROGER WELLS, an Aurora,
Cadoader senior, be the team
chief coach. He took third place in the Big 8
meet last year in Stillwater. With this performance he barely
felt like a 'big' major-team for the NCAA meet.
According to most baseball experts, pitching is 75 per cent of the game. It would be hard to find a better pitcher than more than University of Kansas baseball coach Floyd Temple. He is depending heavily on his mount staff to bring the seven Big back into Big Eight contention.
Last season, Temple's squad, in spite of a hitting attack which averaged 17 points to the bottom of the conference, winning only six games and losing 15. Overall the team was

according to coach Frederick
"We were very poor," he said.
"Last year I found out you can have outstanding pitching and ball control, not win without a good defense."
Temple pinpointed the team's problems to a defense that committed 76 errors in only 33 games.
WITH ONLY eight lettermert returning, Temple is looking for several newcomers to fill the gaps.
There will be eight golfers selected from the tryout field but only six will compete in each remaining two will be alternates.
The most questionable positions appear to be in the infield. Two seniors, Steve Burrows and Kyle Kluge, the top candidates for the first base job. Both are also pitchers. Last year Corey Played behind second team all-conference first baseman Skip James, who was graduated
Frederick said that golf was much more a team sport than many people realized.
Shortstop figures to be a fight Borecky, freshman Tempel describe as "young but former Iowa awkward quarterback Heck was drafted as a professional prospect out of high school.
Bill Glass, a transfer from Miami, Okla., Junior College, apparently has second base but without Wolf can also play there.
All home meets will be at the Lawrence Country Club. Last year they were at Alvamar.
GEORGE JOHNSTON, a juice transfer from KANSAS City, Kan., and a Ban Johnson League player, at basketball base, although basketball player
Dave Taynor is also out for the spot.
Jerry Evans and Don Lahir are today experienced outfielders who have been fighting three rookies for the jobs. Formost of these is Robert Ohm, whom Temple considers the most man he has coached at KU.
Behind the plate, newcomer Dick Bradley will replace two year regular Larry Matson, who was recently named a strong defensive prospect.

Mike Howard is optimistic about this year's University of Kansas tennis team. Howard, a former Oklahoma student and a former Oklahoma State tennis player, is in his sixth season as an assistant tennis coach.

Bob Lockwood, also gymnastics coach, is the head coach of tennis.
Howard has spent several hours a day since the first of February coaching, training and conditioning the KU tennis squad. He has thrashed the squad to nine earners from over 30 who tried us.
"The players are really anxious to get started," he said. "We've really been working out hard. Tennis is a very strenuous sport, and a player needs to be in condition to prevent injuries."

"They are also first-rate students. I believe that nearly all of them have at least a 3.0 grade average."
Howard said that although KU has little scholarship money to distribute among its tennis team, he knows that with other Big Eight schools that
Oklaoma. Oklahoma State and Missouri all provide five or so scholarships, but it has no said, KU has two full schools to distribute among
"WE SHOULD be in the first division of the conference," said Howard. "We should be very competitive. However, perennial champions Oklahoma and Colorado will be the teams to beat."
Jayhawks will be "scratching and scrambling for runs."
Howard has pushed for several reforms in his first year as a leader of the KU court, the appearance of the KU courts, supported a new system of college admissions, championed and urged that Kansas City be the permanent site of the KU court.
The KU courts, located west of Allen Field House, are being resurfaced this spring and the resurfacing produces too much glare. The painting improves the appearance of the courts and the resurfacing brings them up to the heights of other Big Eight schools.
Three of the team's four 300 hitters of last season, Paul Abbott and Kris Bryant. Temple, are gone. Most scoring missed is Wobble, now in the New York Mets organization, with 386 and hit nine home runs.
THE BIGGEST change from last year, however, will be the new method of scheduling and conference team championship.
In the past, the conference team was required to perform on the basis of performance in league tournament, since all the teams did not meet each other in competition.
WITH SO many new faces, it is difficult to determine how well KU will do at the plate this year. A lot depends on Wolf, who hit 356 and knocked three home runs in 1871, and Bradley, who is also a power player. Heck could also add some punch to the lineup.
However, this year each team pays every other team in the tournament $10,000. These duals will be combined with the results of the tournament to determine a winner.
The round-robin duals determine about 70 per cent of the total team score, and the league champions, 30 per cent. Individual champions, however, will still be determined solely on the basis of their performance.
Another change is in the number of singles and doubles year there were five singles and two doubles matches in dual competition, six singles matches and three doubles matches. This increase in opportunities to participate.
"IT SHOULD be a very interesting season," said coach Jillian Green. "A season will mean more than the conference tournament. Every conference match will be played on home soil and all air some interest in tennis."
"We're going to have to try to get a few runs and hope it's enough."
"It is hard to right now," temple said. "We're not sure if the scoring runs I just don't think we could ever expect match the hitting
"I know that KU can build a good tennis program." Howard Barker said of Wade Stinson and some publicity. Wade Stinson has been really out on our setup. It will take a little time, but I'm really optimistic."
This is where Temple's pitching staff comes in. With the Jahyhawk's scoring ability in doubt, the mound corps will have to hold the opposition to a challenge of runs, Lackily the KU staff be a veteran one and may well be the best in the conference.
Of the five returning pitchers, three figure to be starters this season.
THE WORKHORSE OF the group was Bill Stiegemier, who pitched 61 innings, striking out 41. His record sank to three wins and five losses after he went 43 on-base and earned run average was 3.39.
The staff's number two team, Wolf, who has developed a hard curve to complement his fast ball and the quickness of the pitch. Corder is the only southpaw of the starting trio and mixes off-speed pitches with excellent control. Last season he walked 43 innings and 43 innings. His record was 3-5.
