DOWN THE MIDDLE—Ben Dalton, varsity righthanded pitcher fires his fast one down the middle as he warms up for tomorrow's game with Arkansas on the KU diamond. Dalton, who will start tomorrow, pitched a two-hitter last weekend against Memphis Naval Air station as the Jayhawkers downed the Middies 7 to 1. Wayne Tiemeier was scheduled to start the first game of the two-game series this afternoon.
Kansas vs. Arkansas Today Tomorrow; A&M Monday
Baseball at Kansas got into full swing at 3 p.m. today when the 1955 Jayhawker nine met the University of Arkansas on the home diamond. Starting for Coach Floyd Temple's squad, who have a record of four losses and two wins, was left-hander Wayne Tiemer.
Monday the Jayhawkers will face the toughest competition they have met this year when they tangle with Coach Toby Greene's undefeated Oklahoma A&M team. The Aggies, who finished fourth in the NCAA playoff last year, have won seven

straight, downing Rice and Sam Houston state twice and Oklahoma three times. Today and tomorrow the Aggies are playing Missouri at Columbia.
The Cowpokes from Stillwater lost but three lettermen from last year's ball club and retained all their pitching and hitting strength. In Jake White, Don Anderson, Ken Kinnamon, and Tom Borland, Coach Greene has one of the finest college pitching staffs in the country. Borland won eight out of nine games last year.

Veterans from last year on the Aggie squad include Jim Woolard who hit .339, Phil Finegan, Ron Bennett, Jerry Patrick, Fred Babb, and Don Booher.
Although his squad was weakened by the loss of four first-line players—halfbacks Ralph Moody and Dick Blowey, end LaVern Fiss and tackle Gene Blasi—to the baseball and track squads, Mather was fairly optimistic about the chances for his squad to pick up the second victory ever scored by the varsity in competition with the grads.
"We have a chance to give them a pretty good game," he said, and added with a smile, "at least we know we're a year ahead of where we were last year."
Last year the alumni backed up the passing of quarterbacks Gil Reich and Red Morrow with a rock-ribbed defensive line which allowed Mather's charges only one yard rushing as the alums ground out a 21 to 0 victory.
The varsity won its only victory in 1952 when it wint 14 to 0. The alumswant 13 to 6 in 1951,24 to 19 in 1953,and 21 to 0 last spring. The alumni squad is virtually an unknown quality, as the roster is uncertain and the condition of the players is doubtful. However, Coach Ray Evans is expected to start an offensive backfield with Red Morrow in the quarterback slot and three former fullbacks—Bud Laughlin, John Anderson, and Galen Fiss—filling out the backfield. Morrow will be passing to such capable receivers as Harold Patterson, a standout performer with the Montreal Alouettes, and Jerry Taylor and Bill Shake.
Kansas vs. Arkansas Game Time Changed
Coach Chuck Mather drilled his squad on punt and kickoff returns, with additional emphasis placed on passing, in preparation for the annual Varsity-Alumni football game at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Memorial stadium.
The varsity baseball game with Arkansas, originally scheduled for 11 a.m. tomorrow, has been changed to 10:30 a.m. The game will be played on the school diamond south of the stadium. Right-hander Ben Dalton will pitch for Kansas.

Dodger Players Resent Alston
New York — (U.P.)—There is much conversation in baseball circles today about the "dissension" among the Brooklyn Dodgers but actually it is a bitter dissatisfaction engendered by the tactics of Manager Walt Alston.
The Dodgers feel that they have the best club in baseball. Almost to a man they attribute their collapse of last year, and their hostant doubts for this season, to what one player calls "bumbling and unaggressive" managerial maneuvers.
When the players sit and chat with intimates there is much grumbling and grousing about Alston. Most of them refuse to be quoted, but some such as Roy Campanella, Russ Meyer and Jackie Robinson have been quick to condemn managerial planning.

Only two seem quick to jump to Alston's defense. They are Peewee Reese and Gil Hodges, Reese, as the heir apparent to Alston's job, naturally must be exceptionally careful that he says nothing which would appear undermining. But Reese is the kind of a man who would undermine no one.
Last season, his first with the club, Alston was reluctant to give unqualified answers to almost any questions, preferring to counter with a habitual reply that "I haven't seen enough of the league." It has become a stock joke among the players.
This is no attempt to judge the situation, nor to condemn Alston, being merely an appraisal of the feeling on the Dodgers today. Yet there can be no doubt but what their lack of confidence in the quiet, withdrawn Alston has shaken their unity and optimism.
