20 Players in Fold For Alumni Contest
Twenty former players are in the alumni fold for the annual Varsity-Old Timers Football game which will climax spring practice.
This roster includes three lettermen off last year's club, who still are in school, Tackles Gene Vignatelli and Dick Knowles and Halfback Bob Forsyth.
Two members of the 1948 Orange bowl crew, end Dave Schmidt, and tackle Steve Renko, both of Kansas City, also have signed. Ray Evans, all-American halfback off that team, again will be alumni head coach.
Completing the list of initial signeres are Lt. Jerry Taylor, varsity end of '52 and '53; Don Ausgst, alternate center, 1953; Galen Fiss, all-Big Seven defensive fullback of '52, now stationed at Duluth AFB; Bill Mace, 1948, '49 linebacker, now football coach at Olathe High school.
Bob Hantla, a two-time all-Big Seven defensive guard now with San Francisco 49ers; Wint Winter, 1951 varsity center; Wally Rouse, a
Consistent tackle regular in 49; Billy Solaake, all-conference end '51 now football coach at Abilene high, Dick Rossman, varsity guard, '52; Morris Kay, East-West game, end, 1953; Wayne Woolfocal, reserve guard in the early fifties; Chet Gibbens, drop-kicking specialist of the Gwinn Henry era; Harold Patterson, end-halfback now with the Montreal Alouettes; Red Morrow, reserve quarterback in the late forties, and Frank Sabatini, 1953 varsity fullback.
The alums have won three or four games in the post-war renewal of this series.
Defense Stressed In Football Drill
The KU football team concentrated on defense against the split-T formation last night as they ran through a stiff two-hour workout.
Coach Chuck Mather said the defense was being stressed because eight or nine of the 10 teams on KU schedule next fall would run out of some variation of the split-T. Only Colorado,ado, whose the powerful single wing offense, is certain to reception, Washington State, a new addition to the Jayhawk schedule is the uncertain element. Last year they ran from variations of the single wing and winged T.
One new injury was reported in the KU camp, Fullback Al Stevenson came up with a foot injury, and saw no contact work. Letterman end Don Martin appeared to be slightly slowed by the ankle injury which kept him out of action last week, but still saw action during the workout.
Sox to Be Much Better Marion Says
Tampa, Fla. — (U.P.)— Marty Marion, although admitting there are "a few ifs here and there," thinks his Chicago White Sox could go all the way.
He bases that opinion on the contention that he acquired a stronger bench and more hitting power "without giving up anyone we need." But most baseball men feel that unless he comes up with at least a hard-hitting left-handed outfielder, the White Sox won't have power enough to win the American league pennant.
Marion points to the addition of three men as grounds for thinking his club will have more power. They are big Walt Dropo, the first baseman obtained from the Tigers; catcher Clint Courtney, acquired from the Orioles, and outfielder Bob Nieman, who came from the Tigers.
"They give me the kind of bench we need and I'm hoping Dropo will furnish us with the power behind such batters as Nellie Fox, Chico Carrasquel and Minnie Minoso," Marion said. "We have lacked a cleanup hitter and I'm looking for Walt to do the job."
Fox and Carrasquel are fixtures at second and short, and George Kell will win the third base job if he recovers from the injuries which sidelined him the end of last season. He had a bad back and also underwent a knee operation during the winter. He has been taking it slow in spring training, but both he and Marion feel he will be ready for the opener.
Drope will have to hit or lose his first base job to the veteran Phil Cavarretta or Ron Jackson, the bonus baby who hit .280 last season.
Bill Serena, purchased from the Cubs, will take over third if Kell can't make it, with Jim Brideweser sure of an infield utility job. Rookies Stan Jon and Joe Kirrene, who hit .343 at Colorado Springs last season, are other infiel candidates.
As his big five of the pitching staff, Marion has southpaws Billy Pierce (9-10), and Jack Harshman (14-8), and right-handers Virgil Trucks (19-12), Sandy Consuegra (16-3) and Bob Keegan (16-9).
Grendel Is Coming!—Adv.
No intra-squad baseball game will be held tomorrow according to Coach Floyd Temple. The varsity and the freshmen currently are even in the spring "grapefruit league" series with one win apiece.
Intra- Squad Game Cancelled by Snow
The KU athletic teams are now in fourth place, behind Oklahoma, Colorado, and Missouri in the Big Seven conference all sports race for the 1954-55 school year.
The varsity beat the frosh 10 to 6 in the first game but the underclassmen came back last Saturday, behind some classy pitching by varsity hurlers Bob Shirley and Gary Fenity, to down the regulars 8 to 4. Shirley and Fenity were loaned to the frosh for the intra-squad games.
With football, basketball, cross country track, indoor track, wrestling, and swimming already completed, the totals show Oklahoma in first place with 16 points, Colorado second with $18_{3}^{2}$. Missouri third with $22_{3}^{2}$, with KU three points back with 25. Behind KU are Nebraska with $26_{3}^{2}$, Iowa State with 28, and Kansas State with 31. (One point is awarded for first place, two for second, etc., with low score winning.)
Kansas Is Fourth In All-Sports Race
However, with baseball, outdoor track, golf and tennis still to be decided, the Jayhawks have an outside chance to pass Missouri and move into third place.
--ships, one eastern championship, and six city championships, and developed an array of first-class players headed by three-time all-American and "Player of the Year" Tom Gola.

Loeffler Changes, Goes to Texas A & M
New York —(U.P.)— Canny Ken Loeffler, who built LaSalle into a national basketball champion, switched to Texas A&M today to pull the Aggies out of the Southwest conference cell by "filling the air with basketballs."
His announcement that he has agreed to a three-year Aggie contract caught LaSalle officials by surprise and without any idea who would succeed him at the Philadelphia school.
IM Volleyball
But it brings to the Aggies a coach who, in six years at LaSalle, won two national championships, one eastern championship, and six city championships, and developed an array of first-class players headed by three-time all-American and "Player of the Year" Tom Gola.
