Tough Schedule Facing Jayhawk Tennis Hopefuls
Facing possibly the toughest schedule in the history of the school, the Kansas tennis team will begin full-scale workouts early next month.
Four lettermen return from last year's Big Seven runnersup, who compiled a 7-3 mark and the outlook is bright for another potentially great team this year.
Coach Dick Mechem has called a meeting for March 9 for anyone interested in paying varsity tennis. Freshmen are also invited to attend this meeting but, because of Big Seven rules, they will not be able to participate this year.
Al Hedstrom, Don Franklin, Merle Sellers, and Roger Youmans are returning lettermen. Mechem has indicated that Hedstrom will probably be his No. 1 man this year if he keeps up the pace set in early workouts.
Mechem is expecting a lot of help from Dick Hadley, a transfer from Yale; Dave Edwards, a member of last year's squad, and Dave Kane, a sophomore. Hadley, a former state junior champ, is expected to be the biggest asset.
The Jayhawkers open with tough Colorado, last year's conference champs, here April 10. The schedule includes eight home matches and three away. The conference tournament is May 21-22 in Boulder, Colo.
Colorado was the only team to beat the Jayhawkers last year outside of Washburn. The Topeka team handed the Jayhawkers two defeats.

Palmer Leads Mexican Open
Mexico City — (U.P.) — Johnny Palmer of Charlotte, N.C., led the field of 138 tournament-tested stars into the second round of the $10.-000 Mexican Open golf tournament with the co-favorites running far behind.
Palmer took the lead in yesterday's opening round when he fired a 32-36 for a four-under-par 68 over the rolling Club De Golf Mexico course.
One stroke behind Palmer were Ted Rhodes of Chicago, who shot
a 33-36-69 and Ed Furgol of St. Louis, who came through with a 34-35-69, Vic Ghezzi in Inwood, N.Y., and Lew Worsham of Oakmont, Pa., were tied for third place, each with a two-under-par 70.
Tournament-favorites Roberto De Vicenzo of Argentina and former U.S. Amateur champion Gene Littler of San Diego, Calif., meanwhile, were sorely disappointed by their first-round showings.
