Football Drills 'Rusty' Says Mather; Lineups Unchanged
Coach Chuck Mather continued to send his Kansas football squad through individual fundamentals and controlled scrimmage as the squad entered its second week of spring drills.
Leo Quits
Mather said that Monday's drill was "rusty" compared to the previous week, and that the boys lacked the fire of last week's sessions. He credited the sluggish practice to the three day layoff.
There were no changes in the first eleven, which is made up of returning lettermen, except for minor injuries. On the second team, letterman guard Tom Leo quit and George Giiovanos, North Carolina transfer, moved up from third team to take his place.
Duane McIntire, Gardner half-back and a regular on last fall's freshman team, suffered a shoulder separation and will be sidelined for the remainder of spring practice.
Monday's scrimmage featured several long runs by first team halfback John Francisco and full-back Joe Held, while quarterbacks Wally Strauch and Dave Preston threw several passes for long gains.
Mather was encouraged by the performance of the first four teams and expects all four to be serious contenders for starting roles next fall. The performance of the four teams assures the squad of much needed depth for the 1956 season, something that has been lacking during the past two years.
The squad will hold drills through Thursday and will then dismiss until April 10. The first full scale scrimmage will be held April 14.
Golf Squad Starts Practice For Trip
Jim Davies jumped to a one-stroke lead Monday in the golf qualification rounds for the southern trip during which KU will meet Tulane, Houston, and SMU.
Davies fired a one-over-37 at the Lawrence Country Club. Bob Richards, defending Big Seven champion, is in second place with a four-game lead. Saylor gave him third place going into the final 27 holes of qualification.
Tom Phoenix, Harry Turner, and Jim Schmitendorf are tied for fourth with 41's. Ed MacGee and Noel Rooney carded 42's Monday and Mark Nardyz recorded a 43.
The lowest four qualifiers for the 36 holes will make the southern road trip during the spring vacation. Coach Mike Chafant expects Tulane, Houston, and SMU to be among the toughest teams that KU will play this spring.
Archie Moore Meets Easy Prey Tonight
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UP)
The "wise money" had it today that ancient Archie Moore, the bar-ral-shaped light-heavy ch amp, would put Howard King away for keeps long before curfew when they meet toight in a return nontitle fight.
Moore, currently staging a tune-up campaign throughout California, floored the Reno, Nev., fighter three times before taking decisive action in San Francisco last month at Rivide opinion at that bout was that Moore played a cat-and-mouse game to give the crowd its money's worth.
Aging Archie arrived last night carrying at least 20 pounds over the light-heavyweight limit of 175—most of it around his middle. Moore would not reveal his true weight but did not deny he weighed "at least 195."

Team hitting and the arm of pitcher Bob Shirley will be the big question marks in the mind of coach Floyd Temple in the coming baseball season.
Shirley's Arm Still Doubtful
Although Shirley worked three innings Friday with no ill effects, and gave up only one hit and one unearned run, the status of his arm must be considered doubtful. "Things certainly look encouraging for Shirley, but only time will tell what use he will be to the team," Coach Temple said.
In reporting the progress of the team, Temple said, "The team looks much better defensively than last year, but their hitting is one of the big problems. We will just have to wait and see about their hitting," he said.
"Even with the hitting problem, the team looks very much improved. Ron Wiley pitched seven innings last Friday and gave up only four hits and no runs. However, we still had a chance to be able to last in a game," he added.
Coach Temple named Wiley to be the probable starting pitcher in the Memphis State game during spring vacation, with Van Cooper getting the nod in the second game. As for the rest of the staff, Temple is undecided.
Temple also was encouraged with the addition of Fuzzy Martin to the pitching staff, but would not make any predictions for the coming season.
In 1954, there were 19 deaths due to football injuries, 12 in high school, 2 in college, 2 in professional and semi-pro ranks, and 3 in unsupervised sand-lot play.

Antonelli Shows Improvement
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (UP)—Johnny Antonelli, who flopped badly last season with Leo Durocher's New York Giants, showed promise of a comeback Monday when he pitched seven innings against the Baltimore Orioles and gained credit for a 14 to 1 win. He never allowed Baltimore more than one hit in any inning.
