KU Nine Plays Three Games Over Holidays
Coach Bill "Red" Hogan's Jay-
hawkers, defending Big Seven baseball champions, play Rockhurst college here on Wednesday, April 12, in the opener of a 20-game schedule.
the opener of Kansas follows this non-conference game with a two-game series against Colorado at Boulder on Friday and Saturday, April 14 and 15. Kansas, who last year won its first conference title since 1923, will play only two non-conference games, both with Rockhurst. The second game with the Hawks will be played on Wednesday, April 19, in Kansas City.
To date, Colorado has played five games, winning two and dropping three against top-flight competition. The Buffaloes, top-heavy with lettermen at every position, used their fieldhouse and a nine-day, four-game spring training trip to Arizona to reach their near mid-season condition.
The 22-man squad will work out today, Saturday and twice daily next Monday and Tuesday in preparing for their opener. Kansas split a pair with the Hawks last year winning the opener here, 4 to 2. Jim Quinnlan, veteran hurler, is expected to get the starting assignment for Rockhurst.
Rockhill Colorado, fourth in the Big Seven last year with a 5-6 record, is far advanced in spring training over the Jayhawkers and will be favored to mark up a pair of conference wins.
Coach Frank Prentupt's Buffs won a 15 to 13 slugfest from a strong University of Arizona nine while dropping 15 to 8 and 9 to 2 decisions. Colorado defeated Arizona State college 6 to 4 to split even on the trip
In their only game at home, the Buffs lost 6 to 5 to Colorado A. and M. after leading 3 to 1 going into the ninth inning.

'Hardluck Coach Of Year'
Although his Kansas baseball team hasn't played a game, Coach Hogan already is the Big Seven's top candidate for "Hardluck Coach of the Year."
He has lost the services of what might have been the top battery in the Big Seven, Dick Gilman and Jay Drake.
Bake.
Frank McColough, a pitching prospect lost his life in an auto accident, March 14. Forrest Griffith was sidelined from a possible outfield berth by an appendectomy. Two other lettermen, catcher Bob Talkington and infielder Jim Briley, are missing due to scholastic difficulties.
Kansas should field another respectable club if satisfactory pitching improvement is shown by two lettermen and a promising sophomore hurler. Guy Mabry, last year's regular right fielder, has been moved back to the mound where he performed two years ago. Loren Hep-
ler, southpaw, is last year's only returning letterman hurler.
Carl Sandefur, 6-foot 3-inch 210-pound sophomore righthander, is expected to become the ace of the Kobe mast mouft staff. Sandefur wives doubles as an end in football, has a blazing fast ball and should give Coach Hogan a top-flight hurler after gaining a bit more experience.
The infield will include two newcomers with only third baseman, Floyd Temple, returning to the same oition.
George Voss, a sophomore left-hander and two-year regular with the Lawrence Colts, will open at first base. Lou DeLuna, a three-year letterman at first base, has been moved to second. DeLuna's keystone partner will be newcomer Frank Koenig, junior, who replaces Carl Ellis. Ellis has been moved to left field.
Trackmen Meet Huskers In First Outdoor Contest
Jayhawker trackmen get their first trial of the season in an outdoor dual track meet when they face the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Memorial stadium, Saturday, April 15.
Kansas, indoor king of the Big Seven, was defeated by Coach Ed Weir's Huskers during the indoor season 43 to 61 at Lincoln. The Jayhawkers were also humbled by the Nebraskans outdoors a year ago 56 to 75.
Greenwood scored victories in both the highs and the low last season, setting a new'mark of 14.7 in the highs and equalling the 23.8 record in the lows. It could be that the 1950 winner in each event will be forced to better each of those times to triumph.
Given good weather, the competing thinlads could turn up with a bevy of new meet records. Five meet marks tumbled and another was equaled when they met in 1949. But should it be a bad day, only one standard would be seriously endangered.
Nebraska's best chance for setting a new standard will come in the pole vault. Weir will send Don Cooper and Leonard Kehl after the existing record of 13 feet 4 inches set by D Bird of K.U. in 1939. Jim Floyd and Jim Potts, sophomores, are Easton's hopefuls.
Kansas' twn terrors—Bob Karnes and all-American Pat Bowers—are faced by stiff records and stiff competition in their specialties, the half-
Semper, the nifty sophomore sensation, collapsed the conference indoor record of 9:28.4 this winter. Abel set a new KU.-N.U. indoor dual record of 9:53.4 a few weeks previous.
The mark due to be rewritten, rain or shine, is the 9:55.3 two-mile set by Ed Fortune of Kansas in 1930. Almost certain to go under that time are Jayhawkers Herb Semper and Cliff Abel.
Stiffest competition will probably be in the hurdles where Kansas Coach Bill Easton will start ace Jack Greenwood and sophomore Bob Devinney against the crack Nebraska duo of Ray Magsamen and Bob Berkshire.
Besides Ellis, the outfield strength will come from Herb Weidensau, outfield letterman reserve last year, sophomore Walter Hicks, and Bill Mace, junior utility outfield-catcher.
Catching is improved this year with the addition of Don Wilson, junior grid quarterback. Returning lettermen are Ken Morrow and John Goodson. Off the basis of early season performances, Wilson should be the Jayhawkers' best backstop since pre-war days.
mile and mile. Bowers posted the 880 record of 1:53.3 a year ago. Husker Loyal L肋尔bert is to be reckoned with by Bowers. Karnes will have to do better than Glenn Cunningham's 4:17.4 of 1933 to set a new mark. He'll be faced by Nebraska's surprise of the indoor season, Lee Moore.
Jayhawkers Del Norris and Bill Richardson and Husker Dick Meissner will aim for the 6 foot $ \frac{3}{2} $ inch high jump mark set in 1937 by Dale Shannon of K.U.
Hunbert set the 440-yard dash mark of 49.3 a year ago and could possibly better it. Teammate Harold Kopf also could do it. K.U. will have Emil Schutzel and Jim Dinsmore, as its top candidates.
The discus record of 144 feet Willis Ward of Kansas in 1937 isn't too safe. Jayhawker Bob Broady or Husker Jim McConnell might exceed it.
In the dashes, the Nebraskans could easily have their own way. Coach Easton isn't sure yet if he has an entry ready to go into the 100. Schutzel is his top candidate in the 220.
Other likely Kansas entries, although the list is yet incomplete, will be Dave Fisher in the half-mile and 440, Ed Lee in the shot put, Ken Stites in the 440, Bob Kline in the discus, Bob Drumm in the javelin, Clarence Nauman in the broad jump, and Al Bouchard in the low hurdles and broad jump.
This week end the Jayhawkers are vacationing, but they will return to the campus Monday for training.

Tennis Team Opens Season April 20
The Varsity tennis team will rely on two lettermen and a group of inexperienced players to try to better 1949's fifth place tie in the conference. K.U.'s first dual match is with Oklahoma, the defending champion, on Thursday, April 20.
Charles Crawford, the only left- hander in the top five, is slated for the number four position on the 1950 team. Lou Smith and Bill Thompson appear to hold the upper hand in the battle for the number five spot.
Hervey Macferran, the number one man in 1949, and Jack Ranson, number two a year ago, are returning lettermen. Bob Swartzell, a transfer from Santa Monica, Calif., Junior college, has beaten Ranson out of his number two spot on this year's team and he may push Macferran out of his number one position.
Oklahoma, Missouri, and Colorado appear to be the strongest teams again this season. They finished one-two-three in the 1949 conference meet at Lincoln. The Sooners have dominated the conference in tennis the past two decades, winning 12 titles in the past 18 years.
Macferran is the only double letter winner on the squad. He lettered the past season while playing in the number one spot and won a letter in 1948 on Kansas' conference champions. Macferran three times intramural badminton champion, won three of seven dual matches in 1949.
Other players trying for a place on the team are Dale Ferguson, John Freiburger, Howard Graff, Bob Matheir, Dick Menuet, and Hal Titus.

Swartzell won the Varsity tennis tournament held in October. Al-though a newcomer to the K.U.
Richards was the Jayhawkers' number one man for two seasons after transferring from Drury college of Springfield, Mo. At Drury, he won the Missouri State college conference singles championship in 1946.
Coach Richards is beginning his second year at the head of the Varsity team. As a K.U. player he won the conference singles crown in 1948 in leading Kansas to its sixth tennis championship in K.U.'s history.
squad, he is a veteran player. He is a member of the Santa Monica, Calif. tennis club.
