Temple Enthused On KU Baseball
"With a good crop of returning lettermen and the return to form of pitcher Bob Shirley, we ought to be in fairly good shape," said Floyd Temple, baseball coach in an interview Friday.
Coach Temple added that although Shirley was hampered with a sore arm last season he ought to be ready to help this year. Also slated to see action on the mound will be Wayne Tiemier, a left hander, and Fuzzy Martin. Coach Temple is looking for Gary Fenity from the freshman ranks to aid with some of the pitching duties. This year
Forrest Hogland will retain his spot at the base, and Boo Allison, who will be unable to play football this season because of holistic deficiency, will be back at center field if the deficiency is made up. Both Allison and Hoglund were lettermen last season.
Bob Keak will return this year at the catcher position, and Temple looks for Tom Webb for aid in this department.

At first base letterman Bill Heitholt, the second leading hitter on the team last season, may start. But Coach Temple adds that this is one of the weaker spots on the team.

"A sure starter, and probably
the only sure starter at the moment,
will be Dallas Dobbs" said
the coach. He added that there
will probably be two or maybe
three sophomores on the starting
line up.
Coach Harp listed six sophomores that could make the starting lineup this season with a little hard work. They are Maurice King, Gerald Elstun, John Parker, Harry Just, Lewis Johnson, Blaine Holger, and Lee Green. He added at Dick Warren, 6 foot 7 inch transfer from Moberly Junior college might help out at the center spot. Bill Brainard, junior, who relieved B. H. Born at center on many occasions last season will no doubt see a great den of action.
When asked who were the best freshman prospects this year, Coach Harp named four whom he thought were particularly outstanding. They are John Cleland and Jerry Fink from Topeka High school, Kent Floreke from Rosedale, and Ray Johnson from Wyandotte.
The Froshawks, freshman men's pep club, will not be restricted in numbers this year, a spokesman said today. In the past, the organization has limited its membership to representatives from each house.
Froshawks Opened To All Freshmen
The organizational meeting of the group will be held at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 101 Snow. Two advisers from the KuKus, men's pep group directing the activities of the Froshawks, will attend.
