Reserves Upset Regulars 6-0 On No.4 Quarterback's Score
Football coach Chuck Mather's third and fourth units shocked the No. 1 and 2 teams Saturday by a tight 6 to 0 victory in the squad's first game condition scrimmage this spring.
The scrimmage, which lasted about one hour and forty-five minutes, was played before a Memorial Stadium crowd of about 1,000.
The score came about three-quarters of the way through the workout on a one-yard plunge by the No. 4 quarterback, sophomore Tom Herzog, after he had picked up 25 yards on a keeper, and then sent halback Bobby Lee Robinson off tackle for 35 yards.
Both plays were prevented from going for a touchdown by No.2 fullback Homer Floyd, who caught Herzog and Robinson from behind.
The other big offensive play of the day came mid-way through the scrimmage when No. 3 right halfback Don Feller returned a punt 50 yards before stepping out of bounds.
None of the four teams made a serious threat to score through sustained drives.
Asked if he was surprised at the outcome, Coach Mather replied that he wasn't, due to the heavy workouts throughout the week which culminated in an especially heavy drill on Friday.
In rating the team's progress so far this spring he said, "We're about ten days' worth, that is, we're just about as good as a team's going to in get only 10 days practice."
The first two lineups were as follows:
Ends-Jim Letcavits and Don Martin
Tackles-Frank Gibson and Jim Hull
Guards—Bob Kraus and Bob Lewis
Center—Frank Black
Quarterback—Wally Strauch
Halfbacks—Bob Hoesing and Ernie Russell
Fullback—Joe Held
Ends—Dale Remsberg and Bruce Brenner
Tackles—Ed Prelock and Ron Claiborne
Guards—Joe Eaglowski and DeWitt Lewis
Center—Galen Wahlmeier
Quarterback—Bob Marshall
Hallbacks—Leon Robertson and Bill Horn
Fullback-Homer Floyd

Two even-par rounds by captain Bob Richards paced the Kansas golf team to two dual wins over Nebraska and Omaha Universities on Friday and Saturday, April 13 and 14.
Richards fired a 72 as KU tromped Nebraska $15\frac{1}{2}$ to $2\frac{1}{2}$ in Lincoln. Close behind medalist Richards were Ed MacGee with a one over par 73 and Bill Sayler who carded a 75.
Richards again nabbed the medalist honors against Omaha with an even-par 70 as Kansas rolled to a 10½ to 1½ victory. MacGee and Sayer carded the 7S, while Jim Davies slipped to an 81.
Kansas faces a tough schedule this week, meeting Kansas State Wednesday and Oklahoma A&M Friday and Saturday. All three meets will be played on the road.

John L. (Paddy) Driscoll, at 60 is the oldest freshman football coach in National Football league history.
The St. Louis Cardinals were the champs today of the spring Grapefruit competition that began in the Florida and Arizona sunshine and wound up Sunday in the chilly climes of the East and Midwest.
The Cardinals finished with a 21-11 won and lost mark, despite the loss of their final two games to the Athletics at Kansas City. That gave them a percentage of .656 and the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are the solid choice to finish last again, wound up second with a 20-13 mark and a .606 record.

National League clubs fared better in the overall rivalry with the American League since the highest mark for an American League team was the 18-13 won-lost and .581 percentage figure of the New York Yankees. Cleveland was runner-up in the American with a 20-15 mark and a .571 percentage and that's the way the two teams are expected to finish in the pennant race.
Netters Sweep By Tulsa 6-0, Play Washburn Team Today
Dr. Allen, head basketball coach is a charter member of the Helms Foundation Hall of Fame.
Led by twice-conference-champion Tom Davidson and his able counterpart Dan Holcomb, the Ichabods are considered by KU team members to be their season's toughest opponent.
KU's tennis team, victorious in its first meet, will meet its archrivals from the state capital, Washburn University, at the stadium courts this afternoon.
The Jayhawks opened their 1956 season Saturday, April 14, with a smashing 6 to 0 victory over Tulsa University's four-man team at the stadium courts.
In this afternoon's meet with Washburn, who has monopolized central Intercollegiate Conference tennis for nearly a decade, the Jayhawks face the same team that defeated them twice last year at Topeka, 4 to 3 and 5 to 2.
The Tulaa squad, which had played six matches previous to Saturday's encounter, failed to win a set as coach Dick Mechem's netmen finished the six matches with an overall game score of 72 to 27, while two KU regulars from last season sat on the bench.
One exception to the Ichabod jinx. Bob Riley. Big Seven singles
champion, met and defeated Davidson in both 1955 encounters, and was the only man to do so during Washburn's entire season.
Riley believes his 11-match winning streak can be preserved if he can get past Davidson again this season.
Backing up the Davidson-Holcomb duo will be Malcolm Applegate at the No. 3 position, and Dick Lewis and Bob Storey at No. 4 and 5.
An interesting sidelight is that KU Coach Dick Mechem formerly played the No. 1 spot for Washburn, now his toughest rival.
