KU Meets First-Place OU in Baseball Finale
The Kansas baseball team embarked for Norman, Oklahoma for the final two games of the year. The hapless Jayhawkers should be easy pickings for the Sooners, who appear to have the Big Seven title sewed up. For Kansas it looks like a sixth place finish at best.
The Sooners, however, have a well-rounded ball club and have been getting sparkling pitching performances from sophomore Tony Risinger and junior Joe Mobra. Risinger had won four conference games before Saturday's double-header with Kansas State. Mobra shut out defending conference champion Missouri and also beat troublesome Iowa State 8-2.
The Oklahoma team is not a hard-hitting aggregation. Third baseman Bill Knox is leading the team with a .340 average, good for a seventh place in the conference hitting race. Next man on the roster in hitting is second baseman Joe Snyder with a .280 average in conference play.
Shortstop Buddy Leake is probably the best in the conference. In the Iowa State series he hit three homers as Oklahoma downed the Cyclones 4-0 and 8-2 to destroy any championship ambitions that Iowa State might have had.
For Coach Floyd Temple and his Jayhawkers it will be the end of a long and dreary season. The Kansas club now has a record of 14 losses against 6 wins.
Ace righthander Bob Shirley reinjured his elbow, pitcher Lew Johnson dropped from the squad, reserve catcher Bob Duncan was declared ineligible, and then Ben Dalton, who started off with a two-hitter and three-hitter, lost his control and hasn't been effective since.
Top men on the KU squad have been captain Forrest Hoglund, who is hitting .285 in league play and has been tough in the clutch all year, shortstop Gary Padgett who has a .307 average to lead the team, and pitcher Wayne Tiemeier, who has pitched his heart out all year long and may have been down but was never out.
The baseball picture for next year looks somewhat brighter as a bumper crop of freshmen, led by pitchers Ron Wiley and Van Cooper, and catcher Barry Donaldson will be on hand to put KU's baseball fortunes on the upgrade once more.
