Catching Corps Causing Concern To Coach Temple
Replacement of catcher Galen Fiss, signed to a Cleveland contract last year, following graduation, is Floyd Temple's major problem as he puts together his first Kansas baseball club.
Not only is Fiss, the bulky receiver and grid fullback, departed, but gone also, is his stand-in, Dean Smith. Fiss batted .312 and had two doubles and two homers in his season's harvest of 20 hits. He was a good receiver, and thrower, and unlike most backstops, could run.
Temple, one-time playing manager at Iola in the KOM league, is guiding a four-man race for Fiss' fourth straight victory. The team, Don Auviri, serpentine football
center of last season. Two other gridders, Fuzzy Martin, Overbrook quarterback; and John Handley, Kansas City, Mo., halfback, areying for the post along with Bob Kaak, Chicago junior.
Temple also is concerned over a double-play combination around second and how much he'll be able to use two footballers who'll be doubling in spring drills.
Harold Patterson, the all-conference basketball forward, is returning at shortstop, but he played only in home stands last year. Bill Pulliam, a two-year regular, is back at second. Patterson, of course, is getting a late start, because the basketball finale was not until March 9. Harold Bergsten, a light hitter but nifty fielder, also is available at short in the event Temple desires to shift Patterson to the outfield.
That's where the underclass football candidates are involved. Bob Allison, Raytown, Mo, sophomore and Bobby Conn, Wichita sophomore, both are fine prospects. People would like to play Allison
fast autumn's regular right half, in centerfield, and Conn in right. John Perry, who belted eight home runs and hit 253 last year, again will man left. This could be a fine outfield. Trouble is both young gardeners will be involved intermittently in spring drills.
Bill Heitholt, last year's varsity centerfielder is being given a trial at third. The Jayhawkers lost their regular rightfielder when John Konek was signed to a professional contract with a year of remaining eligibility.
The infield is set at two spots, Pulliam at second and John Trombold, third-team all-NCAA first baseman in 53. The latter was the club's leading hitter last year at .393, and eight of his 26 blows went for extra bases. He also is a nifty fielder.
Although three lettered pitchers return, a sophomore righthander, Jack Shirley, promises to be the staff's top man. He and John Brose, veteran lefty, probably will handle the important starting assignments,

two other two lettered moundsmen.
The April 1 opener with Wichita has been cancelled. The Kansans, therefore, won't begin their season until April 5-6 when they embark on a four-game southern swing against Arkansas and Tulsa.
