ALONG the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Kansan Sports Writer
The umpire's familiar cry, "Play ball," at 3 p.m. today on the Varsity diamond indicates spring is here and that the national pastime has overtaken basketball as "king" sport for the next six months.
Hub Ulrich's 1952 Jayhawk baseball team should provide KU students much enjoyment in their nine home games—the first of which is this afternoon with Rockhurst college. Coach Ulrich, starting his second year as baseball coach, has dined with both coaches capable of continuing Kansas' position as the nation's No. 1 school in won-lost percentage for football-basketball performances covering the 1951-52 school years.
Whether students realize it or not, KU is in the midst of compiling its greatest won-lost year in collegiate athletics. And it is for this reason Ulrich's baseball team needs and deserves all the student support it can possibly muster.
All out support by the students—in the form of attendance at home games—will help the baseball team's morale in its attempt to compile a winning season. Such a season would assure Kansas of achieving its finest over-all won-lost year of all time.
Here's a quick summary of KU's 1951-52 major sport record to date: Coach Jules V. Sikes' 1951 football team finished with an impressive 8-2 record. The Jayhawkers lost only a pair of road games—to Colorado, 27 to 35, and to Oklahoma, 21 to 33.
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's Olympic-bound basketball compiled an almost unbelievable 28-3 record playing the nation's best cage teams in traveling from coast to coast.
As in football, the Jayhawkers three defeats were all on the road. And two of those setbacks were by a average total of six points. Oklahoma A&M downed Kansas, 49 to 45, at Stillwater, and Peoria Caterpillars edged by the Allenmen, 62 to 60, in the New York City Olympic finals. The other defeat was a mid-season 81-64 trouncing by Kansas State at Manhattan.
The 1951-52 football - basketball combined season totals show Kansas leading the nation with 36 wins against only five defeats for a fabulous .878 percentage—or almost nine

When Coach Sikes' 1952 footballers take the Memorial stadium field in their opener against powerful Texas Christian university in September, they'll be out to protect a 16-game home football-basketball winning streak. And we're not so sure the husky Sikesmen won't add several more—maybe all six home games—to this victory string.
And still bettering KU's overall school 1951-52 athletic record is Bill Easton's track team which has yet to taste defeat in dual competition. After winning four straight two-mile fall dual meets (18 straight over the past four years). Kansas won twice in the conference title and went on to finish second in the NCAA cross country meet.

In indoor dual track meets, Easton's men breezed through road clashes with Kansas State, Nebraska and Missouri. Following these one-sided victories, Kansas won the annual Big Seven Indoor Track championship in Kansas City.
And don't be too surprised if KU's cindermen fail to taste defeat in outdoor meets with Nebraska here Thursday, Kansas State at Manhattan, May 3, and against Missouri at Columbia on May 10. Kansas will also be favored to cop or finish near the top in the annual outdoor Big Seven meet to be held at Oklahoma, May 16-17.
So, students, you can see you've played an important role in supporting and helping cheer Kansas athletic teams through 31 of 36 weeks of the University's most successful athletic year.
Let's all back the KU baseball team and make sure it receives the same cheers and "rah, rah, rally-rally" spirit shown the football and our NCAA championship basketball team this year.
The baseball schedule will be found elsewhere on this page. Let's see that the bleachers are full and overflowing for each and every home game—all nine of them.

Strehlow Follows Boque To End Slot
824 Vermonr
Chet Strehlow is the second quarterback in two weeks to be shifted to end by Head Football Coach J. V. Sikes. Sikes made the move yesterday as the Jayhawkers start down the last stretch of spring training. The Jayhawker coach also announced an intrasquad scrimmage for 4 p.m. today.
Strehlow followed in the same path of Jerry Bogue, who was shifted from the signal-calling position to end last week. Both Bogue and Strehlow have been varsity performers in the past.
Bogue became a first stringer in the fifth game of the 1949 season. He finished sixth among Big Seven passers. Because of a knee injury, he missed the 1950 season. He started the first three games last year against Texas Christian, Iowa State and Colorado.
Strehlow was the No. 1 quarterback for Sikes during the 1950 season, starting all 10 games. Last fall, he divided varsity chores with Jerry Robertson.
In explaining the move, Sikes said he was trying to fit more experienced person to the team as they performed their top last year, at that position last year.
Sikes said that Bogue and Strehlow have "athletic ability and lots of experience," and that he "wouldn't be surprised if they'd come through for us. They're going to get every chance."
If Bogue can measure up as a blocker, he could help the "lack of ends" situation considerably. Although fast, shifty and agile, Bogue weighs only 177 pounds.
The only lettermen returning at end this next season are Duane Unruh, Tom Brannan, Jerry Taylor and Paul Leoni. Leoni is the only returning end who started for the Jayhawkers last year. He opened against Oklahoma A&M last November.
Strehlow, on the other hand, is not fast, but carries 198 pounds on his 6-foot, 2-inch frame.
The shifts leave the 1952 quarterbacking chore to Gil Reich and Jerry Robertson. Robertson, with an accurate pitching arm, came into his

own last season. Reich is a transplanted West Pointer who has exhibited real talent in spring drills. Arch Unruh moved up to third string in Monday's scrimmage.
Out for the first time Monday after returning from a tour with the Jayhawk basketball team was Charlie Hoag. The brilliant three-sport letterman from Oak Park, Ill., was limited to a light workout in sweat clothes.
