University Daily Kansam Thursday, March 4, 1971 2 Baseball Season Opens Friday for Jayhawks By DON BAKER Canson Sports Editors While it might not be the type of weather that makes you think about going out to the old Iowa State football field, the Kansas baseball team will be doing Friday when it opens its 1911 campaign in Tulsa with a game against Roberts University. It's all a part of an eight game, seven day road swing into the south that will see some intense action, with Oral Roberts, three with Pan American (Edinburgh, Tex.) and San Antonio (San Antonio, Tex.). THE JAYHAWKS' itinerary finds them in Tulsa Friday and Saturday for back-to-back doubleheaders with Oral Roberts and on then to Edinburgh March 8, and 10 for single games with Mayo. The stop is on March 11 in San Antonio for a game with tripletting. It's also the beginning of what easily could be one of the most successful baseball season in KU history. Iowa State last year, the Iowa State state year, the considered badefide contenders big Eight title this time around. As with the case in similar trips in the past, KU will be at a disadvantage, in that outdoor facilities have been limited by the weather, But this year Jayhawk coach Floyd Temple has partially rectified the problem by moving to Tartan Turf in Memorial Stadium. "We've benefited by the artificial turf." Temple said earlier in the week while watching his team take batting practice in Allen Field House. "It's really helped us from the standpoint of training," he said. The baseball field yet but the turfs give us game conditions." DESPITE THE SLIGHT dial ward (wish) a teammate's squad is ready to go and will play well against what he terms the 'unique talent' it has to offer. "Our pitchers are pretty well prepared to go about five inning games," he said. Perhaps he the Hawks' strongest team is ready to play. But when you haven't got into game conditions you don't really know what to do. "We've got a brand new guy at second and a new guy at third," haven't had a bit of time working on game-type situations." Ten letteren, four of which were .300 hitters or better, will bolster Temple's team but he must answer marks must be answered. THE VACANCY AT 2nd base came about with the introduction of Lynn Stegeldt, KU's second baseman, the three years prior. The situation at third is a more recent development as last year's butcorner man, Keith Lippman, The unexpected loss of Leippman may be of serious consequences. Last year he led the Leippman team to victory in a mark while being named to the all-conference team and originally was being heavily counted on to carry the Jayhaws to the championship this year. But Temple is undaunted and still believe KU has a solid chance at the title. His infidelity has given good promise but are untried. TAKING LEIPPMAN'S place will be footballer Jerry Evans. A Evans City, Mo. sophomore. Evans县 for last fall's football Jawhaws. "He's got a good arm and pretty good hands," Temple assessed. "He's just got to play." ...usus." Temple assessed. "He's just got to play" Bob Hansen. Hutchinson replaces the temple to replace Snelgrove. Like Evans, Hansen has demonstrated what it takes to make the grade in the game. The rest of the lineup is set with veterans at all positions. Skip hitter from Overland Park, who hitter from base and Paul Baseau, a 379 hitter from Kansas City, will be first-stop to complete the infield. TWO OTHER .300 hitters will be in the outfield. Biff Temple, 313 and the son of the coach, will open in centerfield and Ken Clement, who is the player City product, will be in left field. The right field spot will find Corky Ulllom (278) when he is not pitching. Last year the handed fireballer multiplied a 3-1 victory with learned-run-average (EKA) thus necessitizing his part in the pitching rotation. When he is on the mound, rookie Dave Pfannmiller will move into right field. Pfannmiller is a Merriam sophomore. Behind the plate will be veterian Larry Matson. A junior college transfer last year. Matson is a student who is proven defensively but questionable at the plate. Last year he got only 12 hits while hitting 20 driving used them to drive eight runs.

Inside Intramurals By HAL WHALEN By HAL WHALEN Kansan Sports Writer The Paper Wienrie returns.—Last week you learned how this reporter, guided by a Piltonminton spirit, searched for the real truth of intramural "C" league basketball and played with the Green Wienries. Not being particularly strong in basketball, I made a complete fool of myself in even this low caliber game. When I ran into someone else as a personal foul in the process of my seven minute quarter star. BOTH TEAMS GATHERED around the center circle for the start of the game. In the mean time they try to decide which player is going on first and again tries to decide which guy on the shirt team he is going to defend so that when the ball is loosened up to the start game, they know who to start bugging. This week, however, upon invitation from the team, the Paper Wienie came back and played single quarter and gave. I don't know why they did that. The first quarter was under way and the Wienies took their most commanding lead of the night by pumping in the first two points. Each team gave great defensive efforts this quarter and the scoring was low even by "C" league standards. The reiff had his trusty wet whistle with his牙 guard and the first match ended with the Wienes behind 7 to 6. I was not in the game yet. As the team came to the sidelines, where I had waited on the first half in near breathless anticipation of getting to play against our opponents, I knew it was going to be a difference. Because the half-time is only two minutes long, the team had little time to decide game plans and for loss of momentum. IN THE NEXT QUARTER the Wiemies really felt the effects of playing against a team with superior height, superior shooting, superior rebounding and superior ball handling. In the second quarter at the edge of the end of quarter number two, 18 to 9, showed this. The other team got the ball first. Feeling unusually aggressive, I promptly fouled. THE REFF YELLED, "One shot,ball in play if missed." He made it and it was skim ball out. Down the court I flew and waited for the two shorter guys. I guess they were playing the ball in the middle, sure I knew what position was supposed to be playing or if we were in positions because we all just kind of get out there and throw the ball around until somebody shoots. Anyway, we throw the ball until little and, probably by accident, somebody threw the ball to me. I took the ball at about the free throw line and throw a quick lake to the back by dodging my head in that direction. The guy who was covering me jumped with arms up-stretched in the direction of my fake. I then shifted my weight to the right and put a push-up on the shoulder and put up a one-pound push shot that crisply snapped the basket as it wished thru. Two points, outstanding! I said last week that the truth of “C” league play is that it is un, even if you don't score. Well, it is even more fun if you score, even if it's only two points. I wonder what it is like to play, score and win? The Green Wienies last again, 48 to 25. Stegmeieret. The one-time javelin thrower for the KU track team was 4-3 last year with a brilliant 1.384 ERA. Temple is undecided who the other hurler will be. Will Bob Wolf or Bob Kaufman. "I'm confident we'll have a "I'm confident team." Temple said in evaluating the coming season. "If the pitchers can do as well as we will do real well. If you have confidence you have a good chance." Wolf, a right-hander, was 4-0 last season with a 1.64 ERA while Kaufman, a left-hander, was 4-1 with a 3.19 ERA. 1. Ken Carpio (L-R, 300) LF 2. Bilt Fri Temple (R-L, 313) CP 3.

The 18-event championship meet runs through Saturday with competition in evening and evening of all three days. Kansas coach Dick Reamon is entering a split of 19 men to determine the winner last year with 563 points at Iowa. Oklahoma was with 365. "I'm concerned that we haven't shown consistency," Reasonan said of his team's performances in this year. "In the past, everyone has hit a big push but not altogether consistent." "It's not as cut and dried as last year," Reamon evaluated. "Everyone has men who can The Jayhawk swim coach feels his depth will be the deciding factor, if KU is to take the crown.

Coalition 842-7606 Timmons Views NCAA After Big Eight Win By DON BAKER Kenton Sports Editors Kansan Sports Editor Bob Tommons is an optimist, a realist, a strategist, and most of all a winner. As a coach his record is near unbelievable while winning track and cross country championships as about as fast as he can make room in his already brass-filled office for the trophies. But among all the triumphs, perhaps one of his most memorable days when KU won the Big Eight Indoor meet. Besides being just another win, it also served as a springboard toward next week's NCAA Indoor Championships in Detroit. "I thought our guys did a tremendous job." Timmens began in evaluating the meet in which KU was only a slight favorite. "It was one of the finest team efforts since I've been here. Our guys really came through." "Bates did a terrific job under adverse conditions." Timmons said in describing how the hardbur had to accomplish his fete while running on the lane next to the wall. "I think more than I expected, I made the difference in the need. I was go off to a great start." The effort was particularly gratifying in both race bateses was just off the pace set by Colorado's Marcus Walker (who won both the highs and the lows). Walker is the country's leader, but Timmons is encouraged bateses can score in the NCAA All-Time. NO DOUBT THEY DID just that. Only it was in a few areas they wouldn't suppose to, according to predictions, that turned the tide and made the difference. Probably the most pronounced were in the high and low hurdles where Mike Bates provided vital points. Timmons had never really planned on getting. The team's senior placed second in the 60-yard high hurdle and third in the seven additional points. The Jayhawks' victory margin was 11-51,38, substantiating the importance of his performance. Two weeks ago chances of Kansas winning the NCAA Indoor for the third straight year were not good. And although the teams are still not heavy favorites by any means, it is fair to say that they have had a difficult threat. Timmons agrees and forsees strong efforts. "I think it will take more than 25 to win it but less than 30," he said. "The lower the total to her off we'll be." “IF WE GET THE SAME kind of effort we get in the Big Eight, and get some break we'll be right in there,” he said. “I'm very optimistic and not the least bit possimist. But we must face the facts. There are three or four strong teams we have to beat.” Wisconsin probably has the best chance of running away with it. But it still has to be won and our guys are a going with that. Wisconsin, Villanova and Southern California rank as the top threats to the Jayhawks' recent dominance of the meet. On the basis of their showing three weeks ago in the Astrodome, the Packers are the favorite (if you can actually pick one). Timmons agrees. "It's hard to say really what win it but we could score over 0 points," he said. Last year KU scored 27% of points on the team. NO DOUBT TIMMONS is optimistic because he can see his team scoring well over that. Tradition is also a KU suite and don't think for a second that they will be the premiere two championships, have not been easily choked out yet or are ready.
