KU Footballers Begin Spring Practice Today
By DANA LEIBENGOOD
A 105 man squad including 17 lettermen will report today for the opening of spring football practice—the first under new Coach Charles V. Mather.
Kansan Sports Editor
Coach Mather plans to start with a full scale practice of two hours each day; since he assumes that the boys will be in good condition when they report for drills. Naturally the boys in the best physical condition will have a better chance to stick with the squad than those in poor condition, the coach said.
Of the 105 men, more than half of them will be cut according to Coach Mather. In future years he plans to have 22 men from each class on the squad, but since there are only five seniors on the squad this year it will number only about 49 at the close of spring drills. The coach said that a few more men might be carried, but it hasn't been definitely planned as yet.
"This year we will be forced to go with the boys who show the most ability first," the coach said. "We know that we will make some mistakes, but in our position, we can't afford to teach the boys the game from the beginning. We always lose some boys with potential this way, but we haven't got the time to develop it."
"Very seldom does an inexperienced boy improve so much that it will enable him to bent out an experienced boy at the same rate."
The first scrimmage, of about 90 minutes in length, will be held Wednesday afternoon, and movies will be taken of it. The first squad cut will be made after the coaches have a chance to view these pictures over the week end.
Moves will also be taken of scrimmages on April 21 and 23, and two more squad cuts will be made at this time, the coach said.
"Although we have spent some time looking at pictures of last year's team, we have been so busy that we haven't gone over them as
closely as we plan to this summer, the coach said. During the summer practice, the ones taken in spring practice, which are the most valuable to us."
"We don't use our IBM machines in the spring practice, for the record of execution isn't as important as it is during the fall. We always expect the boys to be somewhat erratic during the spring."
During the spring practice, which lasts until May 15, when the Varsity-Alumni game will be played, the coach plans to make 14 position changes. Eleven of these switches will be made to strengthen the line, which was hard hit by graduation. Only Dick Knowles and right end Don Bracelin are returning staters from the 1953 line.
The pre-determined switches are: tackle knowledge to guard, fullback John Anderson to end, left halfback Don Hess to fullback, tackle Bud Bixler to center, tackle George Carter to center, end Gene Blasi to tackle, quarterback Paul Smith to end, quarterback Fuzzy Martin to end, end Mike Rodgers to tackle.
fullback LaVern Fiss to guard, halfback Don Freutenzett to guard
Bob Bentley to quarterback, Bob Loeyrth to quarterback, and halfback Carryer to fullback
Five of the men to be switched,
Knowles, Anderson, Hess, Bixler,
and Forsyth were lettermen last
year.
Six more lettermen are competing in baseball and track. Bob Allison, Bob Conn, and John Handleley are out for baseball, and Ralph Moody, Knowles and Blasi are on the track team.
Other lettermen returning from last year's team are Bob Hubbard, Dick Blowey, John McFarland, Dick Sandifer, Rex Sullivan, and Gene Vignatelli. Guard Jack Uschen, who lettered as a sophomore in 1950, has returned from service and will be out for practice.
Only three practices will be held the first week because or the Kansas Relays. Thursday will be an "off" day every week because of ROTC. After this week it will be a steady four day a week grind.

The two mile event was the only sweep by Kansas, and the only sweep made by either team. Al Frame won the event in 9:29. Dick Wilson took second place, and Tom Rupp picked up third.
Bill Biberstein won the high hurdles but finished second to Ron Dozier in the low hurdles.
Santee Leads Track Team To Victory Over Bears
With Wes Santee leading the way with victories in the half mile and mile the University of Kansas track team defeated the highly rated California Bears $ 70\frac{1}{2}-60\frac{1}{2} $ in a dual track meet at Berkeley last Saturday.
California showed its main strength in the weight events and the quarter mile. Kansas scored a second and three thirds in these events. Don Smeegas picked up a second place in the javelin; B尼ieder a third in the shot; Morris Kay, a third in the discus, and Frank Cindrich a third in the quarter mile.
Spinner Dick Blair was also a double winner for Kansas finishing first in the 100-yard dash in 9.8 and in the 220-yard dash in 21.4.
Santee's time of 4:05.5 was some what of a disappointment to the fans, but they still cheered wildly for him especially after he won the half mile only 45 minutes after his mile victory. Later he ran the third leg on the winning mile relay team.
Kansas also won firsts in the high hurdles, broad jump, high jump, and the two mile, and scored in every other event. Bob Smith of KU put on a fine showing winning the broad jump at 23 feet 3 inches and tying for first in the high jump with teammate Kermit Hollingsworth at 6 feet 2 inches.
Nieder's throw of 50 feet 9/4 inches marked the second time in the last week that he has thrown over 50 feet with the college shot
This dual victory was the second brilliant performance given by the Kansas track team during spring vacation, for it had made a spectacular showing in the Texas Relays setting a new world record in the sprint medley relay.
Kansas also won the two mile
and four mile relays with Santee turning in excellent anchor times of 1:49.7 and 4:06.
