Much Talent Displayed On Frosh Track Squad
By SAM JONES Kansan Sports Writer
Freshman trackmen, though taking a rest from competitive running, are helping track coach Bill Easton remodel the outdoor high jump pit in Memorial stadium this week.
"We've got a bunch of fine kids on the freshman team. They'll help us," said Coach Easton. He added, "They are our most talented group to date, since they can do more things."
Al Oterer, a discus and shot put specialist, is considered by Coach Easton to be a "potential all-American." Kent Flocher and Dave Freeman are considered to be the best hurdle prospects on the squad.
Bob Cannon, a high jump specialist, is probably the most versatile member of this year's freshman team. Coach Easton can use Cannon in the quarter-mile and the hurdles events, if needed.
A standout pole vaulter is David Tams, transferred from Northern Illinois State Teachers college. He has alerady vaulted 13 feet 4/8 inches this spring.
Jim Londerholm broke the University freshman javelin record last week with a throw of 196 feet and five-hundredths inches.
In the longer distances, Jerry McNeal, Bob Nicholson and Harold Long head Coach Easton's list. Other distance prospects are Bob Cormack, Myron Green, Earl Eblen, Bill Garrett and Don Schwartz.
Coach Easton stated that the freshman team is short handed in the sprint, quarter mile, hurdles and all field events. He said, "We're still looking for trackmen, freshmen or transfers, with past experience. We're glad to work with any boy who has a chance to make it or who has the ambition to make it."
Demonstrating Coach Easton's work with freshman team members, Londerholm's best javelin throw in high school was 176 feet. Since coming to KU he has already bettered that mark by 20 feet, under Coach Easton's tutelage.
Easton plans to schedule eight to 10 postal meets with other schools for the KU freshmen this spring. The freshmen completed a postal match with Notre Dame last week, but the results have not been received by KU from South Bend.

Tavlor Sians with Rams
Manhattan, Kan. —(U.P.)—Corky Taylor, Kansas State halfback who was the second-ranking pass receiver in the Big Seven last year, has signed a contract to play with the Los Angeles Rams next season, he said today. Taylor, who gained a total of 1.064 yards rushing during his last two years at K-State, said he would report to the Rams July 13.
The KU football team resumed heavy workouts yesterday as Coach Chuck Mather sent the squad through a two-hour session which stressed offense after the poor offensive showing of the group in Saturday's scrimmage.
KU Football Team Drills on Offense
Sophomore quarterback Al Jaso was promoted to the first team as a result of his fine performance Saturday. In other lineup changes, freshman fullback Larry Baker took over the fullback slot manned by Al Stevenson last week, and Frank Gibson, a rookie from Lawrence, Ohio, took over letterman John Drake's tackle position.
In an effort to strengthen the line positions, Mather moved end Frank Becker to tackle, and moved junior Myron Rogers back to end after a tryout at tackle.
The squad will hold workouts today and Thursday, with another full-scale scrimmage slated for Saturday afternoon.
Williams Back to Sox
Miami, Fla. — (U.P.)— Ted Williams will end one of the shortest retirements in baseball history Saturday when he signs his sixth $100,000 contract with the Boston Red Sox. Williams already has agreed to the terms with general manager Joe Cronin, it was learned today, and will begin working out with the Red Sox almost immediately after the formal signing ceremony. The 36-year-old slugger has been working out privately and is in good physical condition. Williams originally planned to report to the Red Sox at Sarasota, Fla., a bit earlier but was unable to wind up his personal affairs.
Wes Santee currently holds the Kansas record in the mile run, two-mile run, three-quarter-mile run. 800 meters, 1,500 meters, and 5,000 meters in outdoor performances.
