Kansas' Spring Sports Slate Getting Underway
By DANA LEIBENGOOD

Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Thanks to the weather, Kansas'
spring sports program is getting
underway this week with baseball,
tennis, and golf workouts starting.
Baseball, Tennis, Golf Teams Open Drills
Coach Floyd Temple's 1954 Kansas baseball team began practice
yesterday when the pitchers and catchers reported for their first workouts. The golf and tennis teams will begin practice in a few days.
JOHN BROSE, KU Pitcher
Coach Temple, and his assistant Dick Gilman, will have four pitchers, including two lettermen, back from last year's mound staff. Only Jack Stonestreet is missing from last year's corps. Lettermen John Brose and Wayne Tiemeire will form the nucleus of the staff. Ben Dalton and Frank Hamilton are due for more action this season and sophomore Bob Shirley is expected to see a lot of duty.
The major rebuilding job on the team will have to be done on the catching staff. Galen Fiss, first string catcher last year, and Dean Smith have used up their eligibility.
The pitchers and catchers will work out for about a month in Robinson annex before they will be joined by the rest of the squad.
Three-fourths of the KU infield of last season will be back for another year of competition. Only third baseman Frank Wolf is missing from last year's infield. Leading the returning trio is first baseman John Trombold, who was
picked on the third all-American team last year. He is the team's top power hitter and a capable defensive infielder.
At second base last season was Bill Pulliam, hustling Lawrence junior, who will be a regular for the third straight season. As a freshman he held the third base position, last year moving to second base. Although not a power hitter, he is dangerous at bat having over .300 for the past two seasons.
Although he will be handicapped by a late start due to basketball season. Harold Patterson will take over his shortstop position for another year. Last season Patterson showed that he could hit with power in addition to being one of the better fielding shortstops in the conference.
The baseball team suffered a blow when John Konek, who played centerfield and shortstop the past two seasons, signed a professional baseball contract.
The only two returning outfielders are John Perry and Bill Heitholt who lettered last season. Both are adequate hitters and are good defensive performers. Walt Hicks,
heavy hitting right fielder, is the only outfielder missing from last season.
If replacements can come through for the Jayhawkers, they stand an excellent chance to improve upon their record of last season, six wins and 10 losses. In conference play, Kansas was sixth with a record of four victories and eight defeats.
For his first golf team at Kansas, Coach Everett will have back three members of the 4-man team which played last year. Harlan Hise, John Prosser, and Pete Rush will form the nucleus of this year's team. Coach Everett will have to find replacements for Iam Lynch and Bob Lacy, the other two member's of last year's team.
Seventeen men, including four lettermen from last season, are out for the 1954 Kansas tennis team. They will try to improve the KU record of last year, seven victories and three losses. The three losses were in non-conference duals. KU finished third in the league meet last year.
Don Franklin, Al Hedstrom.
Merle Sellers and Roger Youmans are the four returning veterans. The major task which coach Dick Mechem faces is to find a No.1 singles man to replace Pete Fotopoulos, his top man last season, who is ineligible for competition this season.
