Russell Gets 1st Victory, 7-1 Over Warrensburg
Kansas baseballlers returned to the victory column Tuesday, after a double loss to Missouri, by defeating the Warrensburg Teachers 7 to 1.
Righthander Gary Russell notched his first win of the season, turning Warrensburg back on a three-hitter. Russell was never in trouble in the game after the fourth inning when Warrensburg scored its lone run. He retired the Warrensburg team in near-perfect order, striking out three in completing his first game of the season.
The Jayhawkers scored five runs in the first three innings off Warensburg starter Tom Price, to win the game easily.
Shortstop Barry Robertson, who is hitting .333, kept up his hitting pace by getting two hits in four times at the plate. First baseman Don Steinmeyer, a .250 hitter for the season, and third baseman Punky Hoglund also got two for four.
The victory gave the Jayhawkers a season record of nine victories and five defeats. However, other than the two Missouri shellackings, Kansas would have a 12-2 victory record, as there were only three runs separating them from a perfect league record.
Kansas will meet the Colorado Buffaloes in a two-game series Friday and Saturday at Boulder.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (UP)—Sports officials of Missouri and Oklahoma universities are going to file complaints about each other at the Big Seven conference meeting in Manhattan this weekend.
MU,OU To File Complaints Concerning Baseball Dispute
Oklahoma forfeited a game to Missouri yesterday because the Sooners disapproved of the field.
Coach Jack Baer of the Sooners said he would not bring his team onto the field because "It was not Missouri's home field" and it was "dangerous."
Chief umpire Dick McKinney of Kansas City approved the sub diamond.
Missouri coach John Simmons said, "We had simply decided to play the game from the opposite end of the enclosure. We have used this diamond for several years and played two conference games with Kansas State on it last year."
Athletic director Don Faurot said
that since the field was approved by the umpires he intended to report the affair to the Big Seven.
Don Newcombe set a new season's record for homers by a National League pitcher last year with seven round-trippers.
