Soph Quarterback Separates Shoulder
KU Looks Sharp in Scrimmage But Jaynes Hurt
By DON BAKER Kansan Sports Editor
Don Fambrough was a man of mixed emotions Saturday following the Kansas Jayhawks' first scrimmage of this year's spring football drills. First, the KU head man scored 37 points in overall effort and performance during the hour and a half session in Memorial Stadium, but, he was just as disappointed at the fact he lost the services quarterback David Jayhawks.
AFTER A PRELIMINARY examination
Dr. Winston Anderson, technician, said
the patient had been diagnosed with
leukemia.
The promising sophomore quarterback from Bonner Springs suffered a shoulder separation in the early part of the scrimmage and tackled once the sidelines on a roll-out play.
injured left shoulder (he throws right-banded). In fact, Jaynes will go before the surgeon's knife today at 1 p.m. at Research Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
"He's definitely out for the spring," Anderson said adding, "he might be ready to go."
Jaynes is not the only KU football player scheduled for the operating table today as Mike Cere, a junior running back injured in the Jayhawks' first spring workout a week ago, is also in Research Hospital for the same reason. Cere's problem is an injured knee. Fambrough said he felt particularly sorry for Jaynes because he had to walk 150 yards for some time. It was generally felt the 6-2 and 200-point signal caller had a good chance at becoming the number one quarterback for KU but now that prospect has been dimmed considerably.

"OF COURSE IT'S going to hurt him," Farmhambourn assessed. "But it depends on the
individual. Dave being the kind of kid he is he'll come back and work real hard."
Aside from Jaynes, Fambrough was pleased to say the least. The Jayhawks had a spirited session that gave the nearly one-year-old Jaynes a chance to defend that three seasons ago propelled KU to a 9-2 season and an Orange Bowl trip. Last year Pepper Rodgers scrapped those formations, a single-wing offense and a five-man defense with a seven-offense and a four-man front on defense.
"It went pretty well," the new KU mentor said. "As hard as practice has been this week I thought it was pretty good. We've worked them real hard."
FAMBROUGH ADDED THOUGH the over
90-man squad had worked hard during the first week and that he has no criticism with them.
Saturday's scrimmage was a controlled affair (without the use of officials) with the offense and defense divided up. The offence was given 10 plays to move the ball 70 yards for a score but managed only one score during the game, that drive was engineered by last year's quarterback, Dan Heck, who was impressive both throwing and running.
"I thought the offense showed a lot of police." Farbaugh said. "Certainly when I see him, I think he's a great cop."
PERSONNEL SWITCHES are likely for today's practice (beginning at 4 m. on the
practice field west of Allen Field House) as a result of the scrimmage Farnbaugh said.
One of his biggest personnel problems is where to put Bob Bruegling. The 6-2 and 18-9 pound quarterback from Kansas City, Mo. Southwest High School was red-shifted last year and, as spring drills began, generally give little chance to play for KU. But most players that played Sunday on Bruegling looked sharp while directing two offensive series and also was impressive when being utilized as a wingback and wide-receiver.
"If I had to single out one player as being outstanding," Fambrighou said, "it would have to be Brueggem. I was certainly impressed with his blocking at winging.
"When you've got a kid willing to play any position and go with the effort he did you have
FAMBROUGH SAID HE might try
brugging at lap and while he beams
emphatically, "I should have done it."
"I can just say there is an excellent chance the budding will play somewhere," he said.
Practice will continue this week today, Wednesday and Friday with another scrimmage set for Saturday in Memorial Stadium. Unlike last last Saturday, this Saturday's scrimmage will be played under game-like conditions including the use of officials.
Spring drills will culminate May 1 with the annual intrasquid game in Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks, 54 last year with a sixth place finish in the Big Eight, open their 1971 season Sept. 11 with Washington State in double figures. They will play games will follow conference play begins. They will include Baylor at home and Florida State and Minnesota on the road.

KU Pitching Shaky Again As Javhawks Drop Three to OSU
STILLWATER, Okla. -Plagued by inconsistent pitching and poor fielding the Kansas Jayhawks dropped three straight big hits as Oklahoma won its sixth weekend to the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Friday the two teams played a doubleheader with KU on the short end of 15-6 and 10-9 scores and Saturday followed with a single game that found OSU on top 5-4.
KU Ruggers Gene Roberts (left) and Tom Wall (making tackle right)
When the dust had settled Jayhawk hurriers had given up 30 runs and 32 hits while KU's overall record sagged to S-10. The Jayhawks had given up 24 hits and occupy the cellar position in the standings.
The poor pitching was particularly evidenced when considering the Jayhawks carried some pretty heft bats themselves. The KU offensive produced 19 runs and 30 hits, normally more than enough to produce winning tallies.
Included in the barrage of 30 hits were a whopping seven home runs. Bob Wolf, Paul Womble and Skipp Jones all blasted two round-trippers in the series while rookie third-baseman Jerry Evans also connected for a home run.
Just as much a part of the Jaihawks' downfall was a leaky defense that saw KU mishandle 12 chances in the three games accounting for a miserable 13 unrearned runs, Evans, a football player in the fall and playing third base for the first time in his
The errors were most costly in the second game of the doubleheader for Friday where Kansas lost 19-9. Only three of OSU's runs were earned with pitcher Wolf (now 13) feeling the brunt of KU's misfortunes. Wolf gave up eight KU's in less than four innings of work with only three being of the earned nature.
It looked as if the Jayhawks would take Saturday's conclusion game before a steller relief job by the Cowboys' Harold Tompkins shut off the potent KU bats.
With the game tied, 2,2, in the fifth Wolf and Womble both unloaded circuit blasts off OSU starter Newl雁 Squeries to put KU on top, 4-2. That drove Squires out the mound and into the dressing room but it proved to be a mistake for the Javhawks.
OSU shorstop Mike Cross deadlocked in game 4, in the seven inning by driving home Cree Reed a fellow Kansan from Wellington who blasted KU pitching for six innings. With a single, Cross later scored the winning run on catcher Frank Thompson's base rap.
career, was guilty of the most mischief with seven. Another rookie, second baseman Dane McGraw, was guilty of the most mischief with seven.
Tompkins came on to pitch the final four and two-thirds innings and gave up just two
hits while striking out six the remainder of the way.
Pitchers Corky Ullom and Bob Wolf had the most productive bats for Kansas during the series with each rapping five hits apiece. James and Wombie both had four safeties while Biff Temple accounted for a single hit in each game.
... demonstrate fierceness of play that gave Hawks two wins Sunday.
The Jayhawks now look to another three-game set on the road this week as they travel to Columbia for a Friday doubleheader and a Saturday single outing with Missouri. KU was a pre-season pick to be a title contender in the conference and now faces a must-win situation against Missouri if it hopes to claim the crown.

Salb Lone KU Winner In 44th Texas Relays
KU Ruggers Take a Pair
Sunday was a cold day for wearing shorts, but the KU Rugby squad did so and was still hot. The visiting team from Rockstreet was just as good as the superior Javahiers, who won easily 31-3.
Overcast skies and cold northerly winds chilled a crowd of about 50 spectators in the field behind Oliver Hall. Everyone stayed for the exciting contest, in spite of the poor weather, until the final whistle. The fast and farious play was stopped at one point for about 15 minutes, who finally shaken up in a goal line, be taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
After the KU-KRurchurst contest, an exhibition game was played between the KU team and the Kansas City Steers, a semi-final game. The Steers were slaughtered, 28-0.
Hawk Netters Come in Ninth
The Jayhawk tennis team placed ninth this weekend against 14 other teams in the Oral Roberts Tournament at Tulsa. Mike Howard, assistant coach, was understandably disappointed by the final results, as many of the matches were extremely close.
The fact that KU placed ninth among the 15 teams belies the quality of the Jawhays' performances. After recalling that KU lost 2 to Southeastern Oklahoma in the first round, Howard added that "they were all close matches—every one just a flake."
The Hawks did beat South Dakota State, by a score of 6-1, but then to Middle Tennessee 9-4. It is important to note, however, that six of those nine matches lasted through three sets and all the way to the "tie breaker."
Yell Leading And Pompon Finals are Set
Wayne Bowers, advisor to the KU pompon and yell leading squads, said Sunday night that semi-finals for this year's pompon squad tryouts will be held Wednesday beginning at 7 p.m. in Allen Field House. This date is a change from the originally scheduled Tuesday night semi-finals.
Bowers also said finals for the selection of the squad would be held Tuesday, April 13, beginning at 7 p.m. in Allen Field House.
Final selections for next year's KU leilailing send will be made Wednesday, April 14, beginning at 7 p.m. in Allen Field House.

Schubert 6th InGym Finals
The NCAA gymnastic championships were held in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan this weekend with Big Eight schools Kansas and Iowa State representing their conference well. For Kansas it was Richard Schubert, Lawrence junior, who kept his toes on the floor both side horse routines, placing sixth in the nation and winning an NCAA blaque.

Kansan Sports Writer
Entrants qualified to compete in the NCAA meet either by being on the first place team in their respective conferences or by being one of the seven different areas of competition.
In the Bjg Eight conference meet this year, Schubert had placed second in side horse, and Kirk Gardner, Atchison senior, also qualified for the CCAE team by winning first place in still rushes.
At the start of the second day, Schubert was only one of the top 20 side horse men in the nation but placed sixth with a fluid 9.9 performance. Only six men from side horse would go on to the final round, and Schubert had a berth.
In the nationalists the first day of competition, compulsory exercises, cuts the field of gymnasts down to less than half. Schubert hit a very good compulsory score, a scoring 9.05 on the 10-point scale, and qualified for the second round of competition. Gardner was not as fortunate.
"In compulsories Gardner missed his diamond," Kansas coach Bob Lockwood said. "He fell right on his rear end. so it was kind of a story of disappointment for Kirk."
This was the third year in a row that Gardner had gone to the nationals and missed the finals. Both last year and this year he won the Big Eight ring championship.
Schubert was the first to perform in side horse. The pressure could not have been higher, and Schubert slipped from the horse, under the floor, which meant a one-point deduction.
The final round to decide the nation's best gymnasts began Saturday night before a record crowd of 9,000 in the Michigan field house.
"It was the highest finish we've ever had nationally," said Lockwood. "It was very successful for both Schubert and Kansas gymnastics."

A sellout crowd of more than 42,000 is expected at Washington when Vida Blue, a 21-year old left-hander with blazing speed, faces Dick Bosman, a 16-game winner for the Senators last season. Blue was brought up in September and beaten by a no-itter and a one-heiter in September.
The Athletics are rated behind the Minnesota Twins and California Angels as contenders in the AL West. The Senators, who acquired Denny McLain and Curt Flood in winter trades, are considered a "mystery club," in the AL East, which, of course, is ruled by the world champion Baltimore Orioles.

DeMarcus "Jackson" Welch, a 90-win winner in 1969. The Dodgers are favored to win the NL's Western Division title this year primarily because of the acquisition of Albert Allen from the St. Louis Cardinals.
AUSTIN, Tex.-Huge Karl Salb, five-time NCAA shot put champion, the lone KU winner Saturday in the concluding day of the running of the 44th Texas Relays.
Salb won the university-division shot put with a heave of 66,3, his best effort of the young outdoor season, and in doing so qualified himself for the meet's open shot put which renewed his yearly challenge with world record holder Randy Matson.
As usual Matson won but in effect he whipped another Jayhawk in addition to Salb. The former Texas A&M star he loved the 16-pound iron ball 68-8 as compared to Salb's 65-10. But the toss was also good enough to erase the name of former KU great Bill Nelder from the ender over the event with a 65-7 throw, a standard that stood up until Saturday.
The Jayhawks' Steve Wielblem finished third in the university shot put with a 62-9% effort. The only other Kansas finishers were Randy Drew and hurdler Mike Bates also finished sixth. Salah and Wilhelm also placed in the discussion on Friday, a day that proved much more challenging for the team.
And, if that wasn't enough, another
Wilhelm heaved the discus 182-1, a career best but only good enough for third place. He ran the discus over 195 yards. Another career best Friday came from javelin winner Sam Colson. The KU southpole sophomore threw the spear 251-4, but Wilhelm was it, in only good enough for second place.
