Page 4 University Daily Kansan Monday. April 13. 1953 KU to Seek First Win Against Wichita Today Player Shifts On Tap In Opening Grid Drills Player shifts will be the keynote as Coach J. V. Sikes starts building a football team, minus the two-platoon system, today in the opening session of spring practice. "The new rule has placed all our boys on just about the same level," the Kansas mentor said. "It is just like they all were sophomores starting to make a place for themselves." Other personnel shifts will include Gene Blasi, Fuzzy Martin. Don Endacott, Bob Conn, Larry Carrier, Bob Allison, and Don Mudloff, all sophomores. Blasi and Martin will try out for end positions. Blasi played tackle and fullback on last season's freshman squad, while Martin worked as a quarterback. Only two lettermen, John Anderson and Gene Vignatelli, will be invoked in the changes. Anderson will be shifted from offensive center to the fullback spot, and Vignatelli will move from defensive guard to a tackle position. Both men gained their initial letters as sophomores last fall. Anderson, who played fullback on the 1951 freshman squad but who was shifted to the line last year because of an overabundance of returning lettermen in that position, will team up with returning letterman Frank Sabatini to fill the fullback spot. Mudlof, a former guard, will join Vignatelli in a switch from guard to attacker; he will be moved from end to guard. Allison will move from left half to fullback. Conn's move from left half to quarterback will take on an added importance since there are no returning lettermen in that position. Other men slated to try out for the quarter position are Bev Buller, Al Jaso, John McFarland, and Paul Smith, all members of last year's freshman squad. Also in the running for the quarter spot will be Dick Sandifer, speedy sophomore from Stafford, who missed playing last season because of a knee injury. The vacuum in the signal calling position was left by the graduation of five men with quarterback experience. "These changes are simply trials." Coach Sikes emphasized. "We want to find out what the boys can do, and there may be more switches by the end of the first week of practice." A first string position on the 1953 Helms Athletic foundation all-American basketball team has been awarded to B. H. Born, KU's classy 6-9 center from Medicine Lodge. Helms, which annually names one of the best-respected all-American squads and which picks ten men instead of five. Bob Houbregs, the great hook artist from Washington, was named "player of the year." He succeeds Clyde Lovellette of Kansas, who rewrote all the scoring records in leading the Jayhawkers to the B. H.

The starting Shocker pitcher has not been named. In the season's opener at Oklahoma A&M Monday, KU was edged 5-4 although they out-hit the Aggies 7-6. Only three of the five Aggie runs were earned, even though the Jayhawkers made only one error. By ED HOWARD Kansan Sports Writer Mile relay 1. Kansas (Bill Hawkey, Rod Kodyke and Don Smith). Time: 3:38. KU's baseball team opens its home season at 3 p.m. today against the University of Wichita, after dropping two games and having two more rained out during an Easter vacation trip to Oklahoma. Kansas plays Rockhurst here Tuesday. John Konek, right fielder, was the batting star of the game with three hits. He was followed closely by catcher Galen Fiss with two singles. Tiemeier took the loss, giving up two hits in three innings. He walked one and struck out two in his stint. Jack Stonestreet finished the game, giving up four hits in innings. Tuesday's game with the Aggies was washed out. Against Tula Friday, the Hurricanes, with the aid of 15 walks and five errors, beat Kansas 10-9 in 12 innings. Four Jayhawker hurriers were backed up by 17 hits, while giving up nine, but free passes and fielding lapses hurt the victory cause. After leading 9-4 going into the bottom half of the ninth, Kansas suddenly awoke to find itself tied up and going into extra innings. Ben Dalton, who relieved Tiemeier in the eighth, suffered the loss, giving up two hits and five walks in three innings. John Brose started for the Jayhawkers, giving up seven walks and four hits in four innings. He struck out four. Konek and Bill Heitholt were the big Jayhawk gun, Konek getting a double and two singles in five trips to the plate, and Heitholt collecting a triple and two singles in three attempts. Konek leads all fights with six safeties in 10 attempts for an average. Included in the Kansas attack were doubles by Wolf, Hamilton, and Perry. A game scheduled for Saturday with Tulaa was rained out.

The Milwaukee club has replaced Boston in the National League and 54 per cent of last year's opening day players have left for other teams, leagues, or military service. But one factor still is unchanged: Celtics and Brooklyn Dodgers again are favored to win league pennants. Vice-President Nixon will toss out the first-ball in the Yankee-Senator contest in Washington's Griffith stadium this afternoon. President Eisenhower is golfing in Augusta, Ga. Games scheduled for tomorrow will find Detroit, last place finishers in '52 at St. Louis, the New York Giants at Philadelphia, the St. Louis Cards at Chicago, Pittsburgh at Brooklyn, Chicago at Cleveland, Philadelphia A's at New York, and Washington at Boston. Seldom has there been such a huge turnover of player talent from one opening day to the next. The Korean war grabbed Ted Williams, Gary Coleman, and Willie Mays for service, but the big factor has been the large scale trading conducted in both leagues. The major loop program swings into high gear tomorrow with eight contests slated. 291,000 are expected to watch the two-day affair. This would be a decided boost from the 1952 figure of 172,322, but short of the record 331,783 set back in 1948. The biggest crowd is expected at Cleveland, where about 55,000 will watch Bob Lemon, one of the Tribe's "big three", take on Saul Rogovin of the tough Chicago White Sox. The Indians have the same club that finished behind the Yankas last year plus some added secondary The Yankees, loaded with pitching strength, are definite favorites to cop their fifth straight AL flag. Washington, a young, fast team but shy on hitting power, could surprise in '53. The starting pitchers for the clash are Allie Reynolds and Bob Porterfield. Cincinnati expects 30,000 for its tilt with the brand-new Braves. The Reds, featuring a made-over infield, will send ex-Dodger Bud Podbielan to the mound against Max Surkunt of Milwaukee. Tennis Squad Posts 2-1 Mark The Jayhawker tennis team, with Pete Fetopolos leading the way, was victorious in two of three outings over the vacation. In the first match of the season at Lawrence last Monday, coach Dick Mechem's charges fell before Iowa university of the Big Ten 7-3. Fotopoulos pulled a big upset, however, when he whipped Iowa's 1952 conference singles champ, Norman Barnes, in two straight sets. The squad went to Baldwin Tuesday and trounced the Baker Wildcats 6-0. Northeastern Oklahoma State college of Tahlequah, Okla., became the second victim here Thursday, falling before the Jayhawkers 2-5. Kansas will be host to Nebraska here Saturday.

The White Sox have been helped by the addition of slugging first basemen Ferris Fain and the veteran Vern Stephens. J.
