Outfield Inexperience May Hurt Baseballers
As in the case of the infielders, inexperience will be the biggest drawback facing Coach Floyd Temple in the outfield when he opens the 1955 baseball season April 4 at Arkansas.
Only one regular from last year, centerfielder Bob Conn, returns. He doubled in football and baseball last year but is by-passing football this season because of a neck injury. Conn is a good fielder and may develop into a fair hitter. In the state semi-pro tournament last summer at Wichita he hit well.
One sophomore probably will break into the starting outfield. He is Don Dixon, who possesses a good throwing arm and shows promise of becoming a good hitter. Dixon got the best hit of the day off Bob Shirley in Saturday's intra-squad game. Dixon will play right field.
The third man in the outfield will be left fielder Dick Blowey, who will report for baseball April 1 in time for the Jayhawk's first road trip. He now is out for spring football.
Reserves for the outfield are few, Don Steinmeier, Gary Fenity, and Loren Martin all may be used to relieve Blowey, Conn, and Dixon. Fenity, however, is a pitcher and after Saturday's game, when he struck out seven of the nine men he faced, it looks as if he may be used quite a bit on the mound.
Martin, from all appearances, will be the first string catcher and may also take a turn on the mound now and then, so his use in the outfield will be limited. Steinmeyer probably will be used as both a utility outfielder and infielder.

Braves Leading Grapefruit Loop
By UNITED PRESS
The Milwaukee Braves are supposed to go only as far as pitching will take them this year but they're leading the Grapefruit league today on the strength of the spring's most explosive home run attack.
Ed Mathews, strong man of the Milwaukee attack, has yet to hit his first round tripper of the Spring, but his punch hasn't been missed as the Braves pounded out 16 homers in compiling their current 8-4 record. The New York Giants are second best with 11 homers. No other team has reached double figures.
Andy Pafko, Bill Bruton, and Joe Adcock connected for the circuit yesterday as the Braves beat the Chicago White Sox, 5 to 2, for their seventh victory in their last eight games. Pafko and Hank Aaron each has hit two homers, catcher Del Crandall has belted three, and Adcock leads the club with four.
Kansas golf Coach Donn Everett said, "If we don't win the Big Seven golf tournament this spring, we'll certainly finish very high in the final standings."
KU Golf Coach Optimistic On Team's First Place Hopes
The reason for Everett's optimism is that the conference meet will be held at the Lawrence Country club, and also the fact that Bob Richards, last year's No. 1 man, and Pete Rush will be back.
Another reason is that Richards is champion of the course here and will be a definite contender to win first in the meet. Rush has proved to be a tough competitor in Big Seven tournament play. Richards and Rush also tied for fourth and sixth, respectively, in last year's match at Boulder, Colo.
Richards shoots close to par, while Rush's score averages from 75 to 80.
Rush's score averages from 75 to 80. Although the team lost Harlan Hise and John Prosser, it will be bolstered by the return of junior Noel Rooney, and the addition of basketball players Gene Elstun and Dallas Dobbs.
Rooney, who averages between 75 and 80, saw some action last year but not enough to earn a letter. Elstun will play only in home matches in order to concentrate on his studies. He averages from 70 to 75. Dobbs, who shoots in the high 70s, will be free to play in all team matches.
Everett said Colorado, the present title-holder, and Oklahoma will pose the biggest threats to KU's title chances.
The golf team will play 14 matches, at seven at home.
