KU Edges By Wichita; Ready For Rockhurst
By BOB NELSON
Kansan Sports Writer
After outlasting Wichita, 6 to 5, in their opening baseball game at Wichita, Saturday, Hub Ulrich's Jayhawkers tangle with Rockhurst college at 3 p.m. tomorrow on the Varsity diamond in the first of nine home games.
John Brose, 6-foot, 2-inch 175-pound sophomore lefthand, is KU's probable pitcher. He will be opposed by Jim Meara, big Rockhurst righthander fastballer, who is starting his third year as the Wildcat's ace hurler.
Tuesday's game with Rockchurst will give Kansas a severe test. The visitors have a veteran club which was good enough to defeat Missouri last year—the same Missouri Tigers that soundly trounced KU in three straight games last season.
Following the Rockhurst game, the Jayhawkers travel to Emporia Saturday to play Emporia State Teachers' college.
Saturday's non-conference victory proved to be a costly one for the Jayhawks as they lost the services of Galen Fins, regular catcher.
In the third inning, a foul tip off the bat of Bill Pace split Fiss's throwing hand, requiring five stitches. The injury is expected to keep the husky backstopter on the bench from 10 days to two weeks.
Already weakened in the catching department by Don Anderson's knee injury, Ulrich now has only Bud Jones, Garden City junior college transfer, and Dean Smith.
Smith, one-two receiver along with Fiss last year, checked out a suit only last Friday following a tour-of-duty with Phog Allen's Olympic-bound basketball team.

Wayne Tiemeier, freshman left-

duty as needed Tuesday.
Seven new faces to Jayhawker baseball fans will be seen in Tuesday's starting lineup. Although inexperienced, Coach Ulrich expects this year's team to show all around improvement over last year's fifth place Big Seven team which finished with five wins and nine losses in the conference and a 6-9 overall won-lost total.
Stonestreet, big junior right-
hander, pitched nearly perfect ball in marking up the victory—his fourth in seven collegiate decisions. He had a 2-3 conference record last year and posted a 3-3 overall mark.
Stonestreet allowed only one single, struck out four and showed excellent control in walking none in the five-inning stint against the Shockers. He pitched to 16 batters in marking up 15 putouts.
Brose came on in the sixth. He worked well during that inning, but ran into trouble in the seventh. After a triple and a pair of singles, producing one run for the Wheat-
shockers, Sandefur took over pitching duties for Kansas.
Wichita scored one more in the seventh and added two more in the eighth. Into the bottom of the ninth, Champlin led by a comfortable 6-4 margin.
With the potential tying and winning runs on third and second and one away, Sandefur bore down and got the next two batters to ground out.

Kansas Wins Medley, 4-Mile Races In 25th Running Of Texas Relays
Kansas set a record in the distance medley relay and came within one and two-thirds seconds of the four-mile mark in winning the two events in the Texas relays at Austin Friday and Saturday.
Bob Devinney, Art Dalzell, Wes Santee and Herb Semper clocked a 10:06 minutes distance medley Friday, a full six seconds off the old Texas relays record.
The Jayhawkter quartet of Dalzell, Llodd Koby, Santee and Semper ran the four miles in 17:21.2 minutes.
The same Kansas foursome which won the four-mile race ran third in the two-nule, finishing behind Oklahoma and Texas A&M. The Sooners broke the existing record of 7:43 minutes with a 7:41.8 minutes clocking.
Kansas also was third in the mile relay, won by Texas A&M with a record-breaking 3:13.5 minutes performance.
Texas dashmen established a new record in the 440 relay and tied the 880 relay record. Charles Thomas won the 200 meter run in 20.3 for the Longhorns Friday. His mark was only one-tenth of a second off the world record for the event.
Although no team champion is formally recognized at the Texas relays, Texas A&M took unofficial team honors in the university division with $37\frac{1}{2}$ points.
Oklahoma was second, Texas third, Kansas, fourth, and Oklahoma A&M fourth in the university class of the 25th running of the annual relays.
A crowd of 9,000 spectators watched the running of the relays.
Varsity Jolts Alumni, 14-0 As Reich, McCormack Star
Kansas Varsity subdued a tired, but fighting Alumni team to even the series at one-all with a 14-0 defeat in Memorial stadium, Saturday. The Alumni won last year's game, 13-6.
Both Varsity touchdowns came within seven minutes late in the ball game. Gil Reich, former Army player, faded to pass with five minutes to play in the third quarter, couldn't find a receiver and skipped through the center of the line to score the Varsity's first six-pointer. John Konek made the conversion good.
With two minutes gone in the second quarter, Bob Brandeberry, all-Blg Seven halfback last year, took a pitchout and went around end for 12-yards and the second Varsity touchdown.
Both teams used their defensive
lines to good advantage. Mike McCormack and Dick Tomlinson turned in rugged blocking and tackling to

Tennis Team Faces Iowa U. Tomorrow
By BOB LONGSTAFF
Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
The Kansas tennis team will meet the Iowa university team in what Coach Dick Mechem terms "the toughest match of the year" at 2 p.m. tomorrow on the concrete court south of Memorial stadium.
"Iowa has the best team it has had in years. But then, Kansas has the making of the best team it has had in years, too. The match tomorrow will be a big test for both teams. Whichever team wins will have a good chance for an undefeated season," Mechem said.
The Iowa team, sporting a record of three wins and no losses, is deep with experienced players who have been playing three and four years. But Mechem added that the Kansas players have been "working hard" in preparation for the coming match. Iowa defeated Missouri, 9 to 2, Saturday.
Charles Crawford defeated Gene Fotopoulos Friday in an intra-squad match to determine the No. 1 player. Fotopoulos won the first game 7-5, but dropped the next two 4-6, 4-6. Crawford will be matched against Bob Richards, Iowa's No. 1 player, while Fotopoulos will play Norman Barnes.
John Freiburger and Al Hedstrom did not play for the No. 3 and No. 4 positions because of bad weather, but Hedstrom is expected to go against Bruce Higley. Freiburger will play Wob Worthington.
Hal Titus beat Randy Barron, 6-2, 6-3, for the right to play Iowa's No. 5 player, Kroth. Kroth hails from Winfield, Kan., and was runnerup in the state high school championship ournament in 1945.
Following the Iowa match, Kansas' next match is at Topeka against Washburn university, April 15. The team will travel to Nebraska for its first conference match against Nebraska university at Lincoln April 18 and Omaha university at Omaha April 19.
