Sophomores Pushing Vets In Pre-Season Net Play
Pushing veteran lettermen seems to be the forte of the upsurgent sophomores in pre-season varsity tennis play.
Last week it was Phil Rein. This week it is Delmont Hadley.
Hadley has moved from the No. 8 spot on the "ladder" by beating Jim Miller, Dave Edwards and Ralph Kelley.
He is now waiting for Rein to play the loser of the match between Dave Kane and Don Franklin. After Rein's match, Hadley will play the loser.
Franklin and Kane will play on the stadium courts at 4 p.m. Thursday to decide the second and third spots on the ladder. Apparently the only solid position on the team is now held by sophomore Bob Riley in the No.1 spot.
Slated for other matches this week are Bob Ferguson and Dave Edwards who will play for the No. 5 spot, Jim Miller and Ralph Kelley are slated for a match to determine the No. 8 post, with Bruce Wenger waiting to play the loser of the match

Frosh Baseball Out
Because the unpredictable weather has set the varsity baseball team far behind in its workouts there will be no freshman baseball this year, Coach Floyd Temple said today.
He said bad weather has forced him to devote all time before the opening game April 4 at Arkansas to work with the variesy. He said those freshmen already working out will remain with the team.
Stanky Switches Musial to First
By UNITED PRESS
Manager Eddie Stanky of the St. Louis Cardinals shifted Stan Musial to first base today and formed a brilliant young outfield which he said "is potentially the best I've ever seen."
Rookie Bill Virdon, key man in the new alignment, was installed in centerfield with Wally Moon, the National league's rookie of the year in 1954, taking over in left field and Rip Repulski playing right field. Virdon, 23, hit .333 for Rochester in the International league last season while Moon, 25, hit .304 and Repulski, 27, hit .283 for the Cardinals-
Musial's shift to first base involved no problem, since the great slugger has played the position at least part-time in eight of his. 13 big league campaigns. He played both first base and outfield last season when he hit 330. His switch to first rounds out an infield which also has Red Schoendienst at second base, Solly Hemus or Alex Grammas at stop-stop and rookie Ken Boyer at third Ause.
Stanky's new lineup made its debut at St. Petersburg, Fla., yesterday and looked excellent in turning back the New York Yankees "B" team, 6-2. Moon, Virdon, and Boyer all homered in an 11-hit assault on Ed Lopat and Tommy Byrne. The Cardinals break camp today and head north with the Chicago White Sox.
Banks, who had five hits on Monday, smashed a homer, double and single yesterday to lead the Cubs to a 9-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Banks now has eight hits in his last 10 tries. The triumph gave the Cubs a 6-1 edge over the American league champions this spring.

Intra-Squad Game Set for Thursday
Passing and punt returns occupied the time of KU football aspirants as they ran through a two-hour workout yesterday. Kansas will hold another practice today, with a game-condition scrimmage scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
Coach Chuck Mather had special praise for the passing of veteran quarterback Bev Buller, and also for rookie passer, Wally Strauch. Mother's tentative starting lineup remained unchanged, but the Jayhawk coach substituted freely to give all players opportunities.
