Rookies Show Promise In Baseball Openers
It was a great day for the rookies. Jerry Lumpe of the Yankees connected for two hits, scored three runs, and played errorless afield. Don Buddin of the Red Sox made two hits, drove in a run and although he had an error, handled seven other chances flawlessly and was in on a game-ending double play.

Schoonmaker Of Nats Called Into The Army
Jerry Schoonmaker, former football and baseball regular for the University of Missouri and a reserve outfielder with the Washington Senators, had his 1956 season cut short Tuesday. He received orders to report to Ft. Sill, Okla., on April 22.
The 22-year-old bonus player, an artillery lieutenant in the Army reserve, played in only 20 games last year for the Senators, batting .152.
Iowa University, which is bringing a strong medley relay team to Saturday's Kansas Relays, hasn't won a relay event here since 1938. This year the Hawkeyes are led by miler Ted Wheeler, one of the faster distance runners in the
Kansas has won the National College cross-country individual title four times in the last five years. Herb Semper won both the 1950 and 1951 championships, Wes Santee won in 1933, and Al Frame led the pack in 1954.

Luis Aparicio, who is supposed to become Chicago's boy wonder at short, made one hit and clicked a fielding chance without a bobble.
But other rookies looked good, too. Dick Tettlebach, young outfielder for Washington who was obese and on the run, played a home run in the first time at bat.
Darell Herzog, another kid outfielder consigned to the Nats by the Yankees, made one hit in right field. Catcher Lou Berberet, still another ex-Yankee, did a good job behind the bat but went hitless.
Left fielder Frank Robinson of the Redlegs broke in with a pair of hits, one a double. Young Charley Neal, only kid to break into the starting lineup of the World Championship and caught a run which he got no hits, and played well afield despite one error at second base.

Because the Dodgers faltered, another new man, 19-year-old Don Drysdale received a chance to pitch in relief and turned in a hitless inning against the Phils. Tito Francana, out of the Army, and hustling for a regular job, picked up a hit and played good ball in center field for Baltimore at Boston.
The Cubs started two who were up last season, but not long enough to lose their designation as rookies for this campaign. Walt Moryn, who came over from the Dodgers, made a hit in right field, while Gale Wade played center, handled four chances without error.
Kansas won three of four places in the 1955 Kansas Relays 3000-meter Steeplechase, placing Bob Nicholson and Dick Wilson first and second, and Jerry McNeal fourth.
Olympic star Harrison Dillard holds the Kansas Relays 120-yard hurdles record, with a time of 13.6 while running for Baldwin-Wallace in 1948.

Warriors' Gola Enters Army
Tom Gola, prize rookie of the Philadelphia Warriors of the National Basketball association, is in the Army now. Gola was inducted into the Army Tuesday and left for Ft. Jackson, S.C., to begin his two years of service.
Gola, a 3-time all-American at La Salle College, helped the Warriors win their first pro basketball title in 10 years this season. He scored 732 points and was a key rebounder and playmaker.
It was believed that Gola would be deferred as too tall for the service—the Army usually turns down men 6-6 or taller—when they measured Gola Tuesday, he stood 6 feet, $3/4 inches.
Army doctors also found that a back injury suffered by Gola as a high school palyer was not severe enough to keep him out of the service.
Pork was eaten at the rate of 66 pounds per person in the United States in 1955, an 11 per cent increase over 1954, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
