Kansas To Meet Iowa State in Big 7 Baseball Opener
A 15-man Kansas baseball squad will leave today for Ames, Iowa where Coach Bill "Red" Hogan's Jayhawkers will meet Iowa State Friday and Saturday in the opening Big Seven conference games for both teams

K. U. opened the season Tuesday over Rockhurst here. The Jayhawk committed three errors, but the club showed promise of developing more power and polish than last year's last-place team.
Coach Hogan said the club didn't look bad, considering the amount of time that had been spent on infield practice. Dick Gilman, who went the first five innings against Rockhurst and allowed only two unearned runs, will start the first game which starts at 3:30 p.m. Friday.
Hogan will have Guy Mabry, Charley Moffett, Loren Hepler, and Darell Norris available for pitching duty in Saturday's contests, starting at 2 p. m. Moffett started erratically in his four innings Tuesday, but found his control after escaping from a eight spot in the sixth inning.
night spot in the sixth ming. Mabry, a wiry righthander, turned in several good relief jobs last year, but probably his best game was against Iowa State at Ames when he went the route and turned in a five-hit, 2 to 0 shutout.
Iowa State opened the season last week with a pair of victories over Simpson. The scores were 7 to 2, and 2 to 1 in 10 innings. Coach Cap Timm, Cyclone coach, was pleased with the way his squad performed against the Redmen.
Timm has rebuilt the team from six lettermen. Don Paulsen, first baseman, and Jim Miller, catcher, are the infield veterans. Lee Knox and Bob McLean are the outfielders back. Jim Hogue and George Friedl are the returning pitchers, while Ken Johnson also carries some experience.
Sterling Singley, sophomore from Arendisville, Pa., who divides his time between the outfield and the pitching mound, turned in some brilliant clutch pitching and hitting in the second Simpson game last week.
The Kansas squad will leave by bus from the stadium at 4:45 today, stay at the Sheldon-Munn hotel in Ames tonight and Friday night, and start back Saturday night. The 15 players making the trip are as follows: Dick Bertuzzi, Jim Cavanaugh, Lou DeLuna, Harold Duke, Carl Ellis, Bud French, Dick Gliman, Loren Hepler, Guy Mabyr, Charley Moffett, Ken Morrow, Darell Norris, Bob Tarkington, Floyd Temple, and Herb Weidensau.

Figure Skating Aces Compete
Colorado Springs, Colo., April 7— (U.P.)—Amateur skating's "Giants" were scheduled to compete today in the 32nd U.S. figure skating championships.
Defending champion Gretchen Merrill of Boston was promised tough competition from 18-year-old Yvonne Sherman of New York in the senior women's division. But the senior men's class title was considered a shoo-in for Dick Button, Olympic gold medal winner. His only threat was Jimmy Grogan of Oakland, Calif.
In Wednesday's junior and novice competition, little 13-year-old Richard Dwyer of Los Angeles coped the junior men's division by handily winning three of the five school figures.
In the novice men's class—won by Dwyter last year—Hugh C. Graham, Jr., of Tulsa, Okla., edged Richard Bromley of Seattle by one point in the school figures.
