Tennis Coach Faced By Surplus Material
By SAM JONES
Kansan Sports Writer
A surplus of varsity tennis aspirants has forced Coach Dick Mechem, to seed 10 of the players, with the rest being given a chance by an elimination tournament to make their own way onto the varsity team.
After a wind-blown, rain-splattered practice session last night, Coach Mechem said the men he has seeded either played varsity or came up from the freshman team of last year.
Currently seeded No. 1 is sophomore Bob Riley, considered the best tennis prospect at KU in the last several years.
Riley and Don Franklin, a senior. No. 2 on the list and the only returning lettermen will be matched
at 4:30 p.m. Friday at the stadium courts, to determine the first spot.
DICK MECHEM
The men who have not been seeded play in a tournament to decide their own rankings on the team.
Seeded third and fourth are Dave Kane, a junior, and Dave Edwards, a senior, both returnees from last year.
The first Big Seven match, with Nebraska, is set for next month, but the tennis coach hopes to play Iowa and Washburn before then.
With all the players having a chance to advance to the starting team, Coach Mechem is planning to have the best five men ready for the first game.
--coached by Missouri's Sparky Stalcup, include Burdette Haldorson of Colorado, Lester Lane of Oklahoma, Bob Reiter and Med Park of Missouri, and Bob Patterson of Tulsa.
4 Jayhawk Cagers Score Over 200
Although the Jayhawks experienced their poorest season since 1949, winning 11 against 10 defeats, they presented the best scoring balance since World War II, with four men, Dal Dobbs, Gene Eslun, Bill Brainard, and Lew Johnson clustered between 210 and 317 points. John Parker and John Anderson toluated close to that figure, at 182
Dobbs won the team field goal title with 125. Other departmental champions included: field goal percentage-Parker, 49 on 37 of 76; free throws-Gene Elstun, 91; free throw percentage-Doobs, 74 on 67 of 91; Rebounds-Lew Johnson, 230.
Swim Meet Set
The intramural swimming meet has been tentatively set for April 28 and 29. Entry blanks will be sent out by the Intramural office. The meet will definitely not be held until after Easter vacation.

3 More Sign For East-West
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-Two Big Ten conference stars, Dick Gnakaker of Minnesota and Don Schlundt of Indiana, were signed today for the East team in the annual East-West basketball classic in Municipal auditorium Monday.
Cleo Littleton, a 2,000-point maker from Wichita, was signed to play with the West team.
Garmaker, in a two-year career at Minnesota, established nine new school scoring records and became the first Gopher to win a Big Ten individual scoring title. He was barred from play his first year at Minnesota because he was a transfer student from Hibbing Junior college.
Against Southern Methodist in the 1955 season, Schuldt hit 41 points. Other stars already signed for the Easterners are Tom Gola of La-Salle, Dick Ricketts of Duquesne, and Dick Hemric of Wake Forest.
Schlund, first Big Ten player ever to top 2,000 points, stands 6-10 and has been the mainstay in Coach Branch McCracken's teams which won the conference titles in 1953 and 1954 and the NCAA crown in 1953.
A 6-4 Negra sharpshooter, Littleton became the nation's seventh player ever to top 2,000 points in his college career. In addition he was named to the Missouri Valley all-stars in his freshman year—a feat unperformed before—and has landed a berth on that mythical five every year since.
Others on the West squad, to be
DOBBS
ANDERSON
Dallas Dobbs, junior guard from Bartlesville, Okla., was elected captain of next year's KU basketball squad and John Anderson, senior guard from Grand Island, Nebr., has been chosen honorary captain of this year's squad.
Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen announced the selections at the annual KU basketball banquet last night in the Eldridge hotel.
The selection of Dobbs came after the slump jumper-shot artist had completed his second outstanding year for KU, scoring 317 points for an average of 15.9 per game. That output, coupled with the 270 points he scored as a sophomore, moved Dobbs to ninth place on the all-time list of Kansas top scorers.
Captains Named In Basketball
Tusten "Tus" Ackerman, captain of the 1925 KU basketball team which won 17 and lost one, was the speaker. He compared the differences in modern basketball with the game as it was played 30 years ago, saying that the high scores in modern basketball were the result of a decrease in body contact on defense.
Anderson, who saw only limited action during the first part of the season, scored 77 points but his rugged and aggressive rebounding and defensive play helped the Jayhawks to several late-season upsets.

Inexperience to Be Problem In Shaping Baseball Team
1236 Massachusetts
With only two lettermen returning to fill five infield positions, inexperience seems to be the biggest problem facing Coach Floyd Temple as to his infiel corps on this year's baseball squad.
Forrest "Punky" Hoglund and Bill Heitholt are the only two men who earned letters last year who can be used in the infield this year. Heitholt was an outfielder last season, with some work at shortstop. Hoglund was the regular third baseman on last year's squad.
In an intra-squad game Saturday Coach Temple switched Heitholt to first and Hoglund to short. Heitholt came through in the game with the freshman squad, which the varsity won 10 to 6, with three hits, one a triple.
Gary Padgett and Don Steinmeyer were vying for Hogland's old third base slot in Saturday's game and Padgett showed promise of being a

fair hitter, a department where this year's Jayhawkers may be woefully short. Benny Kroyle, who was on the squad last year but failed to letter, was holding down second base.
The race for catcher is wide open with three men, Gary Cool, John Walz, and Bob Duncan, competing for the position. A fourth man, pitcher Loren "Fuzzy" Martin, may also be used as a catcher.
According to Coach Temple the fielding by the infielders should be adequate but hitting is still a question. So far it has been too early to tell just who will be the better hitters, with the exception of Heitholt, who should bat better than 300. The spot Hoglund fills should be the strongest, fielding-wise.
